Oprah Urges Rihanna to Leave Chris Brown

Talk show host says she's plans to do a show on domestic violence

Oprah Winfrey took time out of her talk show to send a message to Rihanna persuading the singer to leave Chris Brown after news broke about Rihanna and Brown’s reconciliation.

Speaking directly to the camera, Winfrey said on her show Friday. "It makes me so sad. The truth is that both Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I were your friend I'd call and say: 'Give it some time, get yourself counseling, take care of yourself and heal yourself first..'Love doesn't hurt and if a man hits you once he will hit you again. I don't care what his plea is; he will hit you again."

Winfrey also revealed she was going to do a show on domestic violence. “I want to do a show this month dedicated to all the Rihanna’s of the world.”

According to the police, the two started to get into an argument because Rihanna found a text message from Brown’s ex-girlfriend. Brown, allegedly, punched her, bashed her head against the windows, bit her and choked her until she almost passed out.

Brown, was charged with two felony charges of assault and making criminal threats. He returns to court April 6.
