Rihanna’s Father Confirms Split With Chris Brown

Rihanna has ended her relationship with Chris Brown following their alleged fight, her angry dad has confirmed. Brown was charged by Los Angeles police with making criminal threats last week after reportedly assaulting a woman believed to be Rihanna.

Ronald Fenty met up with his daughter in her native Barbados on Thursday, where she allegedly told him the incident has put an end to the superstars’ relationship.

Fenty says, "The relationship is over and I am pleased. She doesn’t want to speak to Chris. She is being very brave about things and said that she will be back on stage performing soon."

Rihanna was reportedly left with cuts and bruises to her face after the beatdown, but her father insists she is making a recovery.

He tells People.com, "There is some bruising. She will be alright. I think so."

And Fenty hopes the "Umbrella" hitmaker will one day use the experience to reach out to victims of domestic abuse: "At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world."
