The infamous Chris Brown – or “Chris Beat Her Down” as he’s been called in a number of blogs – made an appearance at the Criminal Courts in Los Angeles yesterday after attending 17 out of his required 52 domestic violence classes and performing 32  out of 108 required days of community service in Virginia.

LA Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg went over all of the papers sent from authorities in Virginia and since Brown complied with what she originally ordered him to do, the singer was granted an order that permits him to travel out of town between May 18 and June 27 for his concert performances, only if he gets permission from her in advance.

Brown has to show up back in court on May 11 for the next progress hearing.

For those of you who don’t know – Brown plead guilty on June 22, 2009 to attacking and assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna after a pre-Grammy Awards ceremony in LA. The singer was sentenced on August 25 to five years probation and 180 days of community labor, which is currently fulfilling.

We all hope he learned his lesson.

Domestic violence is exactly what megastar Rihanna was exposed to at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown, famed R&B singer in February of this year. Apparently the couple was sitting inside of Brown’s car following a pre-Grammy party and ended up in an argument which escalated into a fight. Brown had struck her multiple times and caused some serious bruises. She was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention and then was released. Later that day Brown went to the police station and confessed to beating his girlfriend and was subsequently released after posting the $50,000 bail. Weeks after the incident they were seen together again. Obviously this is a complicated relationship and we haven’t heard the end of it. Hopefully, for Rihanna’s sake she will seek more pleasant and positive male companionship in the days to come.
