Oprah Winfrey warns Rihanna

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has warned Rihanna against reconciling with Chris Brown.

Brown has been charged with two felony charges following his bust-up with the Umbrella hitmaker last month (Feb09).

The 'Kiss Kiss' singer is free on 50,000-dollar bail after he was granted a continuance at his arraignment hearing on 05 Mar (09) and is due back in court next month (Apr09).

Reports suggest Rihanna has reconciled with the singer and was in Los Angeles with him prior to the arraignment.

But Winfrey is wary of the pair getting back together - and has a message for Rihanna - "He will hit you again."

"If a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again," the New York Daily News quoted Winfrey, as saying.
