Whitney Tells Rihanna to Don't Do What She Did, Dump Chris

All kinds of celebrities and pseudo-celebrities are weighing in on the Chris Brown's beatdown of Rihanna, but unless you've been there, shut up!

Whitney Houston who was allegedly physically abused by ex-husband Bobby Brown for years, is said to have contacted Rihanna to share some words of wisdom.

As told to the Enquirer.

When Whitney heard what had happened to Rihanna, she was close to tears. Right then she knew she had to contact her and urge her to get out of the relationship while she can. She made it clear that Rihanna should dump Chris. Whitney told her, ‘Whenever you let your heart rule your head, you are bound to run into trouble...Don’t make the same mistakes I did.’”

We hope Rihanna listens.

Meanwhile... we hear Chris has voluntarily started taking anger-management classes.
