The Grammy Awards full of drama this year. Both Rihanna and Chris Brown canceled their appearances at the last moment and news started circulating that Brown had been arrested for domestic assault. Read about it below and see photos and a video of the couple.
In the early morning hours of Sunday morning, February 8, 2009, police were called to the scene of a vehicle in which a man and woman had gotten into an argument that resulted in Chris Brown assault on the woman. When police arrived, they were told the man was Chris Brown and that he had fled the scene of the incident. The woman told police they had started arguing and it had turned violent. The police reported that the woman had visible injuries. The police put out a warrant to arrest Brown for domestic violence.
Police would not identify the woman, although there is speculation and some evidence that Rihanna was the visibly injured woman.
By evening, Chris Brown had turned himself in, been booked, posted $50,000 bail and been released. He is charged with one count of criminal threats. We don’t have the Chris Brown mugshot yet. Here is a video of his arrest.
Both Brown and Rihanna were scheduled to perform at the 2009 Grammys and both canceled their appearances at the last minute. Both were also up for Grammys. Rihanna was nominated in three categories including Best Dance Recording for ‘Disturbia’. Brown received two nominations, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for ‘Take You Down.’
Justin Timberlake and Al Green stepped in to replace the fighting lovers. They did a duet, ‘Let’s Stay Together’.
The incident happened shortly after the Grammy party show featured in the video below.
