Rihanna is safe for now

Good news! Rihanna’s new boyfriend Matt Kemp isn’t a woman beater. Contradicting earlier reports that his previous girlfriend had filed a restraining order against him, Kemp’s agent Dave Stewart says it is a non-issue and Matt is a consummate gentleman.

“Matt dated Felisha about two years ago and decided to end their relationship,” agent Dave Stewart, who helped negotiate an $11 million, two-year contract for the outfielder earlier this month, said in a statement to E! News.

“She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it based on the fact that the statements made within were false. She has very recently said that she has no issue whatsoever with Matt and that she and Matt consider this to be a nonissue.

“Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman.”

A rep for Terrell, who once lived with Kemp, tells us: “During the course of the relationship there was a restraining order filed by Felisha but it had nothing to do with domestic violence…to be clear, Matt was NEVER physically abusive to Felisha, nor did she fear for her life. The restraining order was subsequently vacated. They both have moved on separately but remain amicable.”

When agent Dave Stewart was asked how he got that black eye, he said that he ran into a wall and then, flustered, quickly added that it’s his own fault, really. Sometimes he makes Matt so angry.
