There might be rumors that Rihanna and Chris Brown are reconciling, but she’ll have to testify against him if she’s asked to.
Donald Etra, who is representing the 21-year-old Barbados native, said Friday that Rihanna would be required by law to testify if prosecutors subpoena her, the Associated Press reports.
Brown was arrested Feb. 8 stemming from an altercation that police say he had with Rihanna in a car in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood, in which he punched, bit and choked her.
Brown had to make an appearance in court on Thursday, in which he was charged with two felonies. His arraignment was postponed until April 6. He politely answered a court commissioner’s questions during his brief appearance Thursday, but did not speak to reporters afterward, AP reports.
The attorney said Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, did not want a “no contact” order issued against Brown, but that she will report any violations of an order prohibiting the 19-year-old singer from threatening, harassing or harming his girlfriend.
Rihanna really just wants this all to be over quickly. “She wants to get along with her life and career,” Etra told AP.
