Rihanna Wants To Remain Friends With Chris Brown
Rihanna's dad thinks Brown should be in jail, but the pop star wants to improve their friendship.
When Chris Brown pled guilty to the felony assault charges last week, the judge ordered him to six months of hard labor (i.e. community service where he actually has to work) and five years of probation. In addition, he issued a restraining order that said the hip-hop star could not go within 50 yards of former girlfriend, Rihanna, unless they are attending the same industry event, in which case it is only 10 yards.

According to Starpulse, the reactions to the sentencing have been mixed. Rihanna and Chris Brown want the restraining order lifted so they can work on their friendship. The two already broke the order when they spoke on the phone after the court proceedings. A source told The Daily News that while the music stars have no intentions of getting back together romantically, they do want to improve their friendship. Can You Be Friends With Your Ex?
However, Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, thought that the sentence Brown received wasn't heavy enough.
He was quoted saying, "Chris should have been sent to jail for what he did to my girl. He got off lightly. Chris put her through hell."
It would be interesting to know what he thinks of his daughter making nice with the guy who copped to hitting, choking and biting her. It will be up to the judge to decide whether or not the restraining order remains in place. Hopefully however it shakes out, Rihanna is able to move ahead with her life and can continue making great music.

chris brown asked for forgiveness isnt that enought no one is perfect and we all make mistakes i wish him and rihanna lots of luck they have my blessings in a new start, two good looking individual's , make beautiful music together/alone. i love them both , good luck , dont let anyone or anybody stop you two from being together i say get the restraint lifted, and go forward with each other , do right by each other, prove them wrong chris it was a big mistake but now you are , truly a bigger better man , love her treat her right (rihanna)
seriously, WHY would you want to improve your friendship with a man such as this???? rihanna needs major counseling to recover from this relationship, as well as to protect herself from choosing similar relationships in the future.
