So... it turns out Chris hit Ri before

Chris Brown has managed to avoid jail time after his vicious attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, but he has been given five years probation and will have to do hard labour and community service.

However it has emerged that the fateful night in February that saw him beat Rihanna to a pulp, leaving her black and blue with bite marks, was not the first time he had raised his fist.

In fact he had pushed her about violently in the past, he had also smashed the driver and passanger windows of a car that Rihanna was in.

Both of these incidents were covered up, but they couldn't cover up the damage he did to Rihanna in the most recent incident.

After he was sentenced to the probation and the community service Chris showed no contrition, instead he hit the clubs.

He was seen laughing and dancing and sources claim he was surrounded by a bevy of girls.

Disgusting.
