Is it just a coincidence that Karrueche Tran posted an Instagram photo of herself wearing glamorous wavy locks and bright red lips, just one day after Rihanna did on Feb. 3? HollywoodLife.com’s Bonnie Fuller and Chloe Melas debate the girl feud in their latest video!

We might have a Fatal Attraction/Obsessed situation on our hands! Just a day after Rihanna debuted her voluminous curls and flashy red lips, Chris Brown‘s on-again off-again love interest Karrueche Tran posted a picture of herself on Instagram sporting an eerily similar look.

What Experts Say About Karrueche Dressing & Looking Like Rihanna

We spoke to Dr. Gilda Carle, the 30-Second Therapist for the Today Show tells us. “People emulate their favorite stars and others in many different ways because they identify with them. Many times, it’s unconscious, as they try to have the lifestyle of their idol. Karrueche took a huge public emotional hit, which was draining and embarrassing. It would seem that if she were really in touch with herself as her friend suggests, she’d want to establish her OWN personal style, not copy the one worn by the woman her ex dumped her for.”

Dr. Carole Lieberman, M.D., psychiatrist and author of Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets tells us: “Karrueche is trying to copy Rihanna’s look so that she can try to persuade Chris she’s just as hot. But, it will take more than curls to win Chris back, since he and Rihanna are like moths to a flame.”

Not All Experts Think Karrueche Is Copying Rihanna

But one expert doesn’t agree: “I don’t think Karrueche is trying to ‘be’ Rihanna, so much as she wants to be Chris’ love interest again,” relationship expert Cooper Lawrence and co-host on Fox’s #1 TV Magazine show, Dish Nation. “Sometimes when you date someone and you don’t know what they like and what they don’t like, the best source for that information is who they have been with in the past. On some level Karrueche may think that Rihanna is Chris’ perfect ‘type’ so if she can look the same, maybe he will pay attention and be interested in her again.”

Is it possible that Karrueche can feel she’s losing Chris and is imitating the love of his life in a last-ditch effort to keep his attention? One thing’s for sure — the evidence is mounted against her. Check out the video below, where our Editor-In-Chief Bonnie Fuller and senior reporter Chloe Melas break down Karrueche’s behavior.

Let me get this straight. The girl who couldn’t get over a man for 4 years and chased him relentlessly publicly and privately while he had a girlfriend is okay, but the one who was with him legitimately up to late last year is a stalker for not getting over the break-up immediately?

Can anyone explain why Karrueche is being taunted by tabloids like HL and by people on twitter as if she did something wrong, while an obviously mentally unstable Rihanna is validated?

Also, has anyone noted how much trouble Chris has been in since their reunion? Every week, something new is reported, whereas with the other girl, he had one incident.Some people bring out the worst in each other and it is very clear to me that Rihanna and Chris are fuel and fire. Not good.

But please stop bullying poor Karrueche with your articles HL because that’s exactly what you’re doing.

I think people are not as sensitive as they could be to Kare because she was the rebound. Everyone knows never to get in between an on again off again relationship because they (the crazy couple) will always get back together. Kare hurt herself. She thought she could keep what didn’t want to be kept. She is a beautiful girl and can do better so people are disappointed that she wants to keep putting her self in such a crazy situation that makes her look REALLY desperate/crazy/ stupid /whatever. If Chris is bad for Ri he is just as bad for Kare. She should be happy to move on not making herself seem like a stalker.

kay kay i think you’re the one who is dumb . he didn’t abuse karraechue so it was ok for her to give him a chance which would be a second chance for him in my opinion .a person could bring out the very best or worst in you and it seems like kae was getting it done .karraechue brought the best out in him .when he needed someone she was there he’s not with her but most likely he’s still cares for her but he’s also following his heart or probably trying prove a point .which ever it is he need to put himself first until he find his peace

What amazes me about this whole Riri Chris Brown, relationship is this…. why are people ripping their relationship apart because of what he did to her 4 years ago, and yet nobody seems to care less if he is in a relationship with Karrueche Tran?? If he had such a violent personality as the tabloids and gossip sites keep going on and on about, then wouldnt it be unsafe for Karrueche also?? Or is it just that people dont care what happens to her? I personally think Chris has changed, he has been through hell I’m sure and paid his dues, he would be an absolute idiot if he was to repeat that fateful night again, with everybody waiting with baited breath in hopes it does happen to be the first to report it and make money!! People should cut them some slack, I wish them well and know they can make this work without all the sticky beaks getting involved in their business.

Rihanna went after her man to get him back. Chris and Rihanna have history together. She went after and reclaimed her man and succeeded, thats all ther is to it! Whether things work out for Chris and Rihanna the second time around, only time will tell. As for the Karrueche Tran girl, it seems she was actually a side piece until Chris got back with the girl he never completely stopped loving it seems, which was Rihanna! If the Karrueche girl is stalking and copying Rihanna, she may actually need to get some counseling because that would be kind of sick if she is trying to be Rihanna, Stalking anyone can be dangerous and it a little sick! One can only hope its only a temporary phase she’s going through and not some deep psychological problem. This girl recently did an interview less than a month ago and when asked about Chris Brown, she sort of hinted that there was something still going on with her and Chris. Its possible she could have done it because she wants to keep the spotlight on her, or it could be that she is still fantasizing about herself and Chris Brown being together. Not sure which case it is, but she does still have that tumblr page of hers which some people are still saying is plastered with pics of her and Chris Brown way back when they were together with kissing scenes,pics of them out and about together etc. etc. Quite frankly, its a little weird, can’t understand why anyone would have hundreds of pics posted of their ex, unless they haven’t gotten over the person and they’re fantasizing about getting back together or something. Is over between Chris and Karrueche, its been over for quite a while, the media needs to let it go, her followers need to move on and this Karrueche girl needs to let it go, stop stalking and copying what Rihanna does and move on with her life. I feel sorry for her. She needs to get over the relationship all ready. Its Over! Find her own personality, Rihanna is who she is and thats her own persona, and this Karrueche girl needs to develop her own persona and style that reflects who she is rather than who someone else is. One can only hope that she hasn’t become a looney toone over this whole fiasco!

blame the stylists.
plus who knows when the photo shoot of karrueche was taken to really say who copied who (or what stylist copied what). karrueche had been doing a lot of shoots lately that are only slowly coming out to play.

Im bout to fall off my chair this am. There is no WAY IN HELL that BEY and RIRI are on the same level!!!!!!! Do we need a HUGE reality check?????????

Share this comment at

Temp…Cosign for real. Bey is just being gracious to Rih. Remember, Rih thought that she was going to be “Mrs Carter”. I’m pretty sure that they are not tight like that. Queen Bey is a step above all of them. LOL

@Temp Simms
You are the one who needs a huge reality check BEY and RIH are two different type of artists any one who knows music would know that no comparison necessary. Both are very talented individuals making money. What the hell are you doing with your life other than HATING!!!.
