After spending much of 2012 looking a damn fool with her pants on the ground (shout out to Gen. Larry Platt), is Rihanna finally coming to her senses about this twisted love triangle she’s caught in with Chris Brown and Karrueche?
First, Rihanna posted a hand-written note to her followers on Instagram:
Dear Navy,
We continue down this road together, strong, united, uncensored and fearless. There’s no question that life throws us curve balls, we do our best to deal with them, take the lessons and keep it moving without regrets!
Throughout 7 years and 7 albums, there has been so much to be happy about, many fun filled moments… As we continue this journey together, we’ll write new stories, share more laughs, meet new people, tell more stories, in faith in hope and take not one moment for granted.
I look forward to embarking on this ride with you, unwilling to sacrifice what we believe in , taking our lessons and growing from them. Don’t let one thing shake your core. Let our inspirations drive us, never steering from who we truly are…
We are all unapologetic…
Love, Rihanna
Okay. Key phrases in that letter: take the lessons, don’t let one thing shake your core. Chris Brown’s return to her life has definitely shaken Rihanna’s core. It’s infuriated her fan base and brought on the ire of anti-domestic violence advocates.
But the letter was nothing. A cryptic tweet made Rihanna’s feelings even clearer:
Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes

Ooooooooooooooh, girl! It’s about damn time!!!
Does this mean Rihanna’s finally gonna let this Chris Brown thing go once and for all?
Let it be.
