Music Producer: Rihanna is Doing the Best She Can

Music producer Evan Rogers -- who is said to have discovered Rihanna in Barbados -- is now speaking out on the alleged violent incident between her and Chris Brown.

"She's doing the best she can and this is a very difficult time that she's going through right now and she's going to learn a lot from it," he tells Entertainment Weekly.

Rogers says the pop star acknowledges the public's response to the incident but only to an extent. "I think she's very aware of everything that's going on. Just like anyone else, she watches TV, she goes online. And I think that it matters to her, but there's a line that she walks between being human and caring when you hear these kinds of things, and separating your personal life from your professional life."

Brown is charged with two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats in connection with an incident last month in which he allegedly punched, bit and choked Rihanna. He is scheduled to be arraigned April 6.

  • I just hope all you decide in this matter has a consequences in the end. Love does not have to say your sorry, love is love not hurting.. Love is not always about our man but ourself too.

  • If you insist on staying with Mr. Brown or for that fact any man that beats, violates your existence and makes you less than a woman, you both need serious counselling. Please think and do not have any children and bring them up in your mess!
