R&B singer turned domestic violence poster child, Rihanna, is coming under fire for her new video with Detroit bred emcee Eminem.
According to CNN affiliate Showbiz Tonight, RiRi and Em may have gone a little too far with their controversial new video for the song, “Love the Way You Lie.”
In the video, Megan Fox and co-star Dominic Monohan are beating up each other, making up and beating up each other again.
Critics claim that besides the shocking imagery, the message that Rhianna sends with the chorus is equally disturbing.
Although both Eminem and Rhianna have both claimed that the video is supposed to show the downward spiral and a bold statement about domestic violence, critics state that the video is walking a fine line between advocating against it and glamorizing it.
“I think that this video is a powerful statement and gets people's attention that gives the issue of domestic violence the attention that it deserves,” Showbiz Tonight anchorwoman Brooke Anderson said. “Although I feel that she is drawing from her personal experience, some people may not agree with me.”
Despite controversy, the video is doing well on the charts as well as for the community.
Transformers star Megan Fox has reportedly decided to donate her entire earnings from the video to benefit domestic violence shelters.
Check out the video and let us know what you think..did the video go too far?
