Rihanna-Chris Brown relationship subject of crime TV show episode

Los Angeles: The tumultous relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown has inspired a new episode of crime-based TV show `Law & Order: SVU`.

The show has released a promotional video for its upcoming February 27 episode titled "Funny Valentine", which tells the story of a singer who was beaten by her hip-hop star boyfriend, and yet remains inexplicably drawn to him, reported Hollywood Life. Though the episode is not officially based on the singers` relationship, it tells a story that seems to have been inspired by the 2009 episode in their lives, when Brown physically assaulted Rihanna. The episode takes the NBC series back to its "ripped from the headlines" roots. The show has put in place a major twist at the end to help destroy the parallel being drawn between the celebrity couple and the fictional episode, showing in the end that the male star who resembles Chris is murdered.
