Rihanna 'still loves' Chris Brown

New York, Feb 18 (ANI): R and B singer Rihanna, who suffered a bloody nose, swollen lip and facial bruising in an alleged bust-up with Chris Brown, still loves him, if her friend is to be believed.

Brown, 19, was arrested on the night of Grammys on suspicion of assaulting the 'Umbrella' hitmaker and was released on 50,000-dollars bail.

However, Rihanna is 'torn' over her parents' pleas to cooperate with police after she was allegedly assaulted by Brown.

"I mean, damn, her eye's black and the sides of her face are all f----d up. But she keeps saying she still loves him," the New York Daily News quoted a friend, as telling the Us Weekly magazine.

Rihanna's parents are reportedly pleading with her not to worry about how jail time might affect Brown's career. (ANI)
