By all tabloid accounts, Rihanna and Chris Brown are “on again.” They spent Thanksgiving together. She’s Instagrammming him shirtless in bed and in her arms. They’re showing off matching Rolexes. This week, Rihanna's new album, Unapologetic, hit No. 1 on the charts. It features a duet with Brown called “Nobody’s Business.”
Rihanna may have forgiven Brown, but most of the rest of us haven’t. We don’t know her personally (even though we sing along to “Diamonds” like five times a day), yet after watching the drama unfold for years, we’re collectively starting to play the role of the friend-of-the-abused, a role that carries its own emotional baggage. While it’s by no means the same thing as being in an abusive relationship, we’re confused, unsure of whether listening to “Nobody’s Business” is a betrayal or support. We nod supportively when she says he’s no longer hurting her, but we scan her face for signs of trouble. We’re still furious with him, even if she’s not.
