TMZ Hypes Alleged Chris Brown-Rihanna Reunion, Then Debunks Its Own Rumors

1:04 pm, January 23rd, 2012

(TMZ)

Seriously?

TMZ is usually a reliable website, but is trying to have it both ways today, hyping rumors of an alleged Rihanna-Chris Brown “reunion” – and then posting an “exclusive” denial of those same rumors.

On Monday morning, TMZ breathlessly announced that the former couple had “partied at the same club” – Greystone Manor in West Hollywood – thereby “fueling growing rumors they’re back together.”

But a short time later, the site suddenly declared it had an “exclusive” from Brown’s rep that he and Rihanna “are NOT back together, despite rampant rumors to the contrary.”

First of all, it’s NOT an “exclusive” – Gossip Cop debunked the same rumors LAST WEEK.

Moreover, TMZ was the place most responsible for “fueling” the rumors of a reunion just hours earlier!

That’s quite a speedy flip-flop.

On the other hand, at least TMZ corrects its mistakes – unlike a ton of other outlets.

    Even if they did get back together, why do we care so much? They’re both grown adults, they can do what they want.

    But does anyone find it odd that his representatives have denied it multiple times and her reps haven’t?

    If she denied it a lot of these blogs would stop reporting on this rumour which has been going around for over a month. Clearly these blogs don’t want to believe his reps when they deny it on his behalf and they don’t care that he has a girlfriend of a year.

    Are all her representatives on vacation? She has a twitter account she uses multiple times a day which she could use to squash the rumour. What gives?
