Get ready for the resurgence of the incident heart 'round the world. It was after the Grammy Awards in February 2009 when Rihanna and then-boyfriend Chris Brown were engaged in a physical altercation that left the Fenty mogul battered. Brown was later sentenced to probation, a five-year restraining order was issued, and he was ordered to attend domestic violence counseling as well as complete community service.

Private investigator Scott Ross reportedly represented Brown for that case and recently sat down with VladTV to detail what happened behind the scenes. "That was kind of unique because that was not a normal kind of case," said Ross. "With Chris Brown's case, there really is not a whole lot to do. You've got a he said, she said, and in this particular case, attorney Mark J. Geragos had worked out a settlement with Mary Murry, she was the D.A... They had worked out a deal."

"All of sudden, naked pictures of Rihanna surfaced on the internet," he continued. Vlad wanted to specify if he was talking about the photos that showed Rihanna's injuries, but Ross stated that those circulated after someone from the Los Angeles Police Department sold them. Ross added that the photos he was speaking about were images that showed the singer topless and she allegedly sent them to Brown during their relationship.

"My understanding is that Rihanna... contacted the D.A. after they had made a deal, but it had not been solidified by the court that he was not going to do any jail time. He'd plead out and do some anger management," said Ross. After the leak, Ross alleges that Rihanna contacted her lawyer who got in touch with the D.A. and stated that Rihanna wanted Brown to go to jail.

Meanwhile, Brown denied that he had anything to do with the leak so Ross was tapped with finding the source who shared the photos. He said not only did he find the person, but the culprit also had photos of Cassie and leaked those as well. "What it turned out to be is Rodney Jerkins, who's a producer, somebody had hacked Rodney's phone and gotten phone numbers of Cassie and Rihanna and some other people, and that person had gone into those phones."

After learning that it was some man in Denmark who was responsible, Ross presented his findings to the D.A. in hopes of "getting Rihanna to back down" from pursuing jail time for Brown. Ross also spoke about the infamous incident, saying that "Chris had injuries, but they weren't seen for several days."

"Brown had markings. Again, he's kind of a tough guy, he's not a 90-pound weakling," Ross added. Vlad said of the 5'8" singer, "Rihanna's actually pretty big also. She's like, my height." Ross said Rihanna and Brown were fighting in a confined area in a rented Lamborghini. "According to Chris, she started it and he was defending himself. He kept telling her to stop and stop and stop, and I get it... She had markings on her and Chris left the scene."

Thanks Chris Brown we care

It’s 2021 b

They both were toxic, Chris just went too far. Why is this even a discussion anymore?

Paul Mooney called it

DJ Vladimir Putin, of course

Vlad lmaoo

Stupid as f*** for this PI to even be talking about this. Rihanna forgave him, Chris is having a good career in spite of everything, and now this dude is just begging to stoke the flames again

Would slap the s*** out this dude if I was Chris

He says this like we’re still gonna look at the pics and say “hmm makes sense now”

Is he? If it wasn’t for young thug, nobody would give af bout Chris brown rn. His career been clearly affected by this and until the people forgive Chris, he’s never going to enjoy the career he used to have.

You didn't have to make this one Singh

Stop sayin Rihanna forgave him, they forgave each other

B**** got in a fight and lost

In b4 lock

Why haven't we banned Vlad threads yet

i know chatty patty threads is singh thing but this one wasn’t needed cos this’ll just be a 20 page lock i guarantee it

lol cb and rihanna are on good terms and chris already explained that rihanna tried to smash his phone and she slapped him so he blacked out. this would’ve been news 8 years ago

Hip hop hero VLAD

It was 50/50 tbh

I’m not a fan of his line of questioning but it is an interesting person to bring on nonetheless

chris has had many big singles since the incident not just a song he made with thug

Maybe right after. But after Yeah Yeah Yeah, I’d say he ain’t had a big hit until Go Crazy, which is shocking considering how many chart toppers he had prior

They forgave him No Guidance plays in every Walgreens and taxi across the country on a loop

No Guidance

this applies to his entire thread history though

Drake stimulus

People been joking and knew about this. I hate Chris for getting deeper into his toxic bag and taking it out on everyone around him including Frank lol
