For months now, one of Chris’ friends wanted to come out publicly and tell what they know about the situation between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Well now, for the first time since the case broke someone has.

Here’s what one of Chris’ former girlfriends – and current friend – a woman named Yanni said in her video blog:

I was [with Chris Brown] before Rih Rih. I had him when he was fresh … [we dated] for like a year and a half.

And here’s her take on the incident:

See nobody’s showing the picture of Chris’ face [after the incident]. Nobody’s showing his face picture – [Rihanna] fu*ked him up. Scraped down the side of his face, busted up nose, face bleeding. Nobody is saying how she fu*ked him up.

They’re only trying to make Rihanna [??] look bad and I do not like that because she’s trying to be the victim … and she’s been fu*cking [Chris] up for a minute. She stay fighting him – like all the time.

Her mouth is reckless. She be embarrassing him in front of people … And I hate the fact that her and her friends and her publicist tried to go out there and make [Chris] look like just whooped her azz for no reason.

Chris is not the type of [man] to beat a b*tch azz. I know the n*gga … He’s got an anger problem, but it’s never to beat nobody’s azz like that.

And there’s more:

[Chris] turned around and smacked the sh*t out that b*tch. All he did was hit her once … The only reason [Rihann] got that knot on her forehead is that … [Chriss] stopped the car and her head banged into the [dashboard].

WOW!!! Straight out of the mouth of an insider … Wonder if she got the info from Chris himself!!!
