Rihanna to perform in public first time after assault
August 7th, 2009 - 5:28 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Aug 7 (ANI): Singer Rihanna is set to perform in public for the first time since she was assaulted by Chris Brown.
The ‘Umbrella’ singer will appear on the ‘The Jay Leno Show’ on September 14 alongside hip-hop stars Kanye West and Jay-Z.
The trio are expected to perform their new single ‘Run This Town’, reports Contactmusic.
It is said that Tom Cruise is also in negotiations to appear on the programme.
The 21-year-old singer has kept a low-profile since she was assaulted by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February.
Brown was pleaded guilty to the attack and was sentenced to five years’ probation, 180 days of community service and ordered to attend an anti-domestic violence programme.
He has also been banned from going within 50 yards of Rihanna.
However, Rihanna recently announced she wants Brown’s court order downgraded to a level-one protective restraining order.
“That order would prevent Chris from annoying, molesting or harassing her. That level-one order would fully protect her,” said her lawyer Donald Etra said.
“The order in effect now is a stay-away order preventing them from coming within 50 yards of each other.
“But Rihanna’s position from the beginning is that there was no need for that level of protective order,” she added. (ANI)
