RiRi's New BF Explains Himself

orphea_rihanna_npg_01e__opt11.jpg

Yesterday, we reported that Rihanna's new boyfriend, Dodgers' player Matt Kemp, had a "violent past" and that his ex, Felisha Terrell, had filed a restraining order to protect herself from him.

This morning, both Matt and Felisha are coming forward to set the story straight…sort of.

Matt's agent released a statement this morning, going to into vague detail about Matt and his relationship with Felisha, stating:

"Matt dated Felisha about two years ago and decided to end their relationship. She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it based on the fact that the statements made within were false. She has very recently said that she has no issue whatsoever with Matt and that she and Matt consider this to be a nonissue. Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman."

The same generalized statement came from a rep for Felisha, though he further stressed that the restraining order was not filed because of domestic violence. The rep told the press:

"During the course of the relationship there was a restraining order filed by Felisha but it had nothing to do with domestic violence…to be clear, Matt was NEVER physically abusive to Felisha, nor did she fear for her life. The restraining order was subsequently vacated. They both have moved on separately but remain amicable."

We just want to make sure the world's beloved RiRi is safe. She has suffered enough and it would be simply awful if she has another destructive relationship like the last one.

So we would like to know EXACTLY what Matt did do to warrant such a reaction, if you don't mind!

      Well if the so called beloved RiRi does get herself in another relationship that is violent it is her own choice and hopefuly if that ever did happen she wouldnt stay in it long enough to get worse.

    13. 13

    14. 14

      NOT MY BELOVED, I STILL LOVE CHRIS BROWN!



    15. 15

      -
      good, this guy is a football player not a 'New Edition' reject like Chris Brown - hopefully when this guy puts "Riri" down hard hopefully that talentless bitch will stay down this time
      -



    16. 16

      he's a baseball player not a football player….and if it wasn't because of this hoe his name wouldn't be slandered, Matt's a good guy on and off the field. Bitch needs to step off and keep her drama to herself



    17. 17

      RiRi - please get a better look for your hair. You are such a pretty girl. That hair does not do that face justice.

      Just because he bought one woman's silence doesn't mean he's gonna get Rhi Rhi to shut up when he has his turn and the shut it or I'll slap you pimp style.

      "This morning, both Matt and Felisha are coming forward to set the story straight…sort of."
      Why the 'sort of"?
      They say it never happened. Never! How "sort of" can this be?
      Unless you can't read or understand the meaning of Never?…



    20. 20

      "the worlds beloved riri" perez give me a f*cking break. This chick is as dumb as a bucket of rocks & if she gets her ass beat this time, nobody is gonna care b'cuz she should have learned from her last ass beating! Plus she has a big ass warning sign this time so no excuses!



    21. 21

      Also, perez stop kissing ass & acting so fake. Didn't u say like a month or two ago that rihanna's new music was garbage, now she's "the worlds beloved riri". perez u need to wake up, your faker than a drag in make-up!



    22. 22

      kemp will probably "beat her down" like chris brown did when he develops herpes… or maybe they both have it and can live herpes-ly ever after…



    23. 23

      the fact that she moved on so quickly after such a horrible relationship only shows that she's got MAJOR issues herself.



    24. 24

      "world's beloved RiRi "
      _____________________
      GAG…BARF….CHOKE….i think I vomited in my mouth a little over that nauseating, kiss ass statement. The whole world doesn't love that nasty little bitch Perez….only YOU do.



    25. 25

      Re: Anti_Emo! – It's been damn near a year.
      How long is she suppose to wait?



    26. 26

      she is one of the stupidest people on this planet. but don't worry, if she is beaten up again, her manager will make her use it to her full advantage.



    27. 27

      I seriously think your RiRi is no angel. Kind of turns me off lately and her new stuff is not all that. Matt is to old for her anyways I dont know what he is thinking. He will dump her anyway once spring training starts. He needs to play well so the Dodgers and play the Yankees in the 2010 World Series!



    28. 28

      There are lots of possible reasons for a restraining order, including but not limited to various forms of harassment, verbal and otherwise (e.g. phone calls, visits, text messaging, etc.).

      Re: nycyankeeguy

      Matt Kemp is 25 and Rihanna will be 22 in a month. How is he "too old for her"?



    30. 30

      Re: nycyankeeguy

      Matt Kemp is 25 and Rihanna will turn 22 next month. How is he "too old" for her?



    31. 31

      Re: tigrrrlilly – Agreed! Ain't no beloved shizz going on here.



    32. 32

      Re: curiousred – the 'sort of' is because we don't know the real reason why Felicia filed the restraining order. read the dang post.



    33. 33

      Let's get real, Rhianna is a nutcase and violent herself. She is wacko and probably a freak who beats on people too. Not saying she deserved to be beaten, but she was pounding him while driving. She is an ugly, overrated wacko whose songs have her doing nothing but annoying yelling lately. You call other's fugly when this chick is super nasty.



    34. 34

      Oh please. She has carefully chosen this guy, because, sadly, her getting beat by her man means she gets hellah press. This is calculated without a doubt. Its just so sad to see something so tragic become so calculated. Her getting beat that night is a worth so many magazine covers=album sales. She probably doesn't even know this douchebags last name. Can't wait to see who the next wifebeater her publicist chooses to have photographed with her client. Sell those albums!!!!



    35. 35

      Mind your own business. She ain't yours, she ain't anybody's. I'm sure she can look after herself.



    36. 36

      Only in your eyes is she the worlds beloved RiRi - the rest of us quite frankly couldn't give a damn.



    37. 37

      Re: Beeg1984 – U LOVE A WOMAN BEATING COWARDLY SCHIZO? LOL!
      way to go…..



    38. 38

      ……………….We just want to make sure the world's beloved RiRi is safe. She has suffered enough and it would be simply awful if she has another destructive relationship like the last one???

      OoOoOohhh Perez.. PLEASE stop this overloving rihanna thing.. the WHOLE worlds riri she isnt..

      She likes it bad so she cant get it big and bad!

      Devil worshiper!



    39. 39

      Wonder why she's attracted to abusive guys?
      ~
      One chooses what's familiar.
      ~
      If she doesn't deal with her issues, she'll keep on repeating the same behaviors: picking abusive boyfriends.
      ~



    40. 40

      I guarantee you, Matt did not do one thing. She's a spurned woman who wanted to be with a high profile baseball player, that's what it is. There are so many women who travel around the country following MLB teams in hopes of hooking up with player's and lot's of these women go from one player to another, total groupies!! I work in baseball, I see it all the time. Plus, ANYONE can file a restraining order against anyone else…that is what's scary.



    41. 41

      Someone should give rihanna a big smack right now!
