Evan Rogers Speaks Out on Rihanna

Evan Rogers, the music producer who worked with and discovered Rihanna, spoke out on the pressure she feels from the public regarding her relationship decisions with Chris Brown. Rogers said:

"I think that everyone has good intentions and means well, but it turns up the heat in terms of it seeming like the whole world is telling her what to do. At the end of the day, people forget that at 21, your perspective is very different. These kinds of things can happen to anyone, whether you’re a celebrity or not.

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. 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."

A very wise statement. Public pressure caused Britney Spears to divorce Kevin Federline, and it’s clear now that was a mistake. Rihanna needs to make her own decisions regarding her own life and future.
