Chris Brown's manager Tina Davis, in photo, reportedly sent him a steamy text message the night police say he beat Rihanna.
Robin Givens has a message for Rihanna: Get out now. The actress and ex-wife of former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson spoke about her own experience with domestic violence on "Larry King Live" Tuesday night, and told guest host Joy Behar that hearing about the pop star's troubles with boyfriend Chris Brown brings back painful memories.
"Even sitting now, you know, here with you, it shakes you up," said Givens. "You know, you begin to sweat. You begin to feel sad all over. ... It's hard to sit here."
Brown, 19, has been charged with two felonies after allegedly punching, choking and biting Rihanna, 21, on the day of the Grammy Awards. Sources report that the couple are back together.
Givens, who is now a spokesperson for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, called the similarities between her own story and other stories of abuse "amazing."
Chris Brown's manager broke her silence Wednesday to deny she's sleeping with her teen client and shoot down reports she sent a racy text message that preceded Rihanna's brutal beating.
Tina Davis, 39, was identified by TMZ.com as the mysterious paramour whose text sparked an argument that cops say ended with Brown punching, biting and choking Rihanna.
"The relationship between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown is that of manager and client," said Davis' lawyer Marshall Grossman. "There has never been any other relationship. The rumors in circulation are false."
He insisted that "there are no e-mails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports."
A music industry source said the texter's true identity remains a mystery - even to handlers on both sides of the alleged felony.
"Rihanna is just not talking to the people on her team. Chris also isn't talking to his management. Everyone is waiting for them to clear up all the questions and reports. But neither of them is communicating," the source told the Daily News.
For her part, Rihanna partied in public into the wee hours Wednesday. It was the first time she hit the town since cops found her battered, alone on a dark street and willing to identify Brown as her attacker the morning before the Grammy Awards.
The Barbados-born beauty stepped out sans Brown for a belated birthday party at Hollywood hot spot Coco de Ville. She turned 21 on Feb. 20.
"She was in great spirits having a ton of fun," a source said.
Rihanna danced in her seat on the exclusive lounge's private patio, wearing sunglasses as she was toasted with champagne.
She later blew out the candles on a lemon-vanilla cupcake tower topped with a giant sparkler.
Rihanna left at 4 a.m. through an underground garage as dozens of paparazzi gave chase.
