On friday, more of rihanna’s interview will air on 20/20 – the same day chris brown’s interview airs on an mtv special, where he reportedly tells mtv news…

“my thoughts is like, ‘why did it happen?’, like ‘what was i thinking?’, ‘what is wrong with you?’,”…and…“my thoughts basically now is just, ‘ok, how do we get past it?’”

One thing he’s doing to try and “get past it” is launch a comeback “fan appreciation” tour…except it doesn’t look like there are too many fans who appreciate him.

Brown’s gigs, which are set to start next week at the house of blues in houston and wrap up in new york in mid-december, aren’t even close to selling out.

An industry insider tells the new york daily news, “chris lost a lot of fans after he assaulted rihanna…chris made his own bed. And now he has to lie in it.”

Rihanna opens up for the first time about Chris brown and the domestic violence incident in an exclusive interview with ABC’s Diane sawyer

Superstar singer Rihanna says she’s going public about the Chris brown incident because she wants young girls to learn from her.

I just didn't realize how much of an impact I had on these girls until that happened. It was a wake-up call for me, big time, //

I’ll say that to any girl who is going through domestic violence: Don't react off of love. F love. To come out of the situation and look at it third-person and for what it really is, you then make your decision. Because love is so blind."

Rihanna admits she made the mistake of going back to Chris over and over…

about 8 or 9 times actually.//
It’s completely normal to go back. You lie to yourself. As soon as the physical wounds heal, you want the whole thing to go away. When I realized my selfish act of love could result in someone getting killed, I couldn’t be easy with that. Couldn’t be responsible for telling them to go back.

The singer says she was ashamed this happened to her and embarrassed that she fell in love with this kind of person….

A lot of people who experienced what I did, but not in public. It made it really difficult…Here it goes, my little bit of privacy was exposed… something nobody wants anybody to know. So here I am., the whole world knows.

It happened to me, if it happened to me, it could happen to anyone….

But it’s an infamous photo of Rihanna – badly bruised from a beating at the hands of Chris brown – that the star is finally talking about. She tells glamour, “that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of…like people were making it into a fun topic…and it's my life.”

About that notorious night, Rihanna says, “I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, what, there are helicopters circling my house?”

While glamour celebrates the star for her style and her music, it also recognizes her message to young women. Rihanna says, “Domestic violence is a big secret…my story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery… now I can help speak for those women.”

"I was wrong to treat him that way. Was it good, healthy and wonderful? No. Am I proud of those moments that were captured? No."

But the reality mom says when her soon to be ex went public with allegations about her having an affair with their bodyguard, she was livid

It is so unthinkable to me, that to have to think about it makes me sick."
"He and his family are two of the six people on this planet that I can fully trust."

Kate admits it’s been a tough time for her and the kids, but while viewers can tune them out, it’s their full-time ““reality.”
