Ambiguous wording
"At around 12:30 a.m. (PST) on February 8, 2009, Brown and his then-girlfriend, recording artist Rihanna, had an argument which escalated into physical violence, leaving Rihanna with visible facial injuries which required hospitalization."
English stylists typically recommend using direct, active verbs and human subjects rather than abstract nouns. The sentence above seems to be obfuscating what actually happened. "Physical violence" is tucked into a relative clause modifying "argument." Who performed this act of violence? The only grammatical subjects are Brown AND Rihanna, paired together as the subject of "had." Why not just say,
"At around 12:30 a.m. (PST) on February 8, 2009, Brown and his then-girlfriend, recording artist Rihanna, had an argument which escalated into physical violence. Brown struck Rihanna, leaving her with visible facial injuries which required hospitalization."
- Because do we actually know if Brown struck Rihanna? Also, I don't think it's that neutral of writing, nor is it a big deal. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
At what point does there need to be another page created just for his legal issues? ;) Maxxx12345 (talk) 01:10, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
