Rihanna to blame for assault by Brown, say US youngsters

Washington, Mar 17 (ANI): Over half of the youngsters in US feel that Rihanna is to blame for her alleged bust up with beau Chris Brown, for which the 'Kiss Kiss' hit-maker faces a five-year jail term.

The alleged assault on Rihanna left her with a black eye and swelling, and turned Brown into a media target.

A Boston Health Commission survey in Massachusetts asked the teenagers and 20-somethings for their opinion of what happened in Brown's rented Lamborghini.

The youngsters' verdict was that Rihanna was also partly to be blamed for the fight on the fateful night of February 8.eports suggest the singer flew into a rage after coming across a text message from a former lover of her boyfriend.

Brown allegedly punched his girlfriend while driving through Hollywood, threatening to kill the Umbrella hitmaker.

Although, the couple have since reconciled, Brown has been charged with two felonies - assault likely to cause great bodily injury, and criminal threats.

He is due in court next month, reports Contactmusic. (ANI)
