    Rihanna sent a supportive message to her ex as he went on trial for failing a drugs test

    Rihanna recently admitted to Oprah Winfrey that she still loved her ex, Chris Brown, and those feelings don’t seem to be fading. Yesterday, (Monday) the Talk That Talk singer publicly leant her support to Chris calling him ‘baby’ as he went on trial for failing a drugs test.

    As Chris waited the outcome of testing positive for marijuana in June while in Virginia (where the drug is illegal,) Rihanna took to Twitter to show him she still cared.

    And it appears the well wishes worked as judge Patricia Schnegg let the singer off with a warning. Chris’ defense claimed he smoked the substance in California where he has a medicinal marijuana card.

    Although he didn’t get off lightly, the Don’t Wake Me Up singer is still on probation following the assault on Rihanna in 2009, and it is claimed he has failed to complete his community service order and violated the travel restrictions imposed on him.

    The judge told Chris: ‘You are not an average person sitting in a living room. You are not only in the public eye, but you are on probation.

    ‘A lot of people look up to you - a lot of kids. What you do and what you say impacts other people.'

    We hope he’s learnt his lesson!

    What do you think of Rihanna sending his Chris Brown a supportive tweet? Is she just being a nice person? Or should she cut all contact with her ex? Have your say below.
