She’s one of glamour magazine’s women of the year, but 2009 was definitely a tough one for Rihanna. Now the r&b superstar is finally opening up about Chris brown.
Rihanna is lighting up the December issue of glamour magazine, showing off fashions from Gucci, Balmain and Jason Wu in this photo shoot….
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 love Rihanna, even now after everything she is turning what affected her to make everyone else aware of the problem.
Is this UK’s version of Glamour?
I hope so!
No sweety her album is coming out and now shes trying to pull you foolish ones to feel so sorry for her and then you will spend your money like crazy when she no talent at all!~ Wow its so easy to fool regular people I would cash in on yall good if I was Retarda!~ Yaasssss!~LOL Listen to nadaisreal below you she feels sorry for her! EVIDENCE!~
I hope she starts singing the same style of songs again. Cuz was shes singing now is not really good. When i say “her style of songs” i mean like fun dance-to songs. like umbrella, pon de replay, etc
What?
She’s speaking out for something that changed her life, not trying to sell her album, yes everyone who is getting interviews wants to sell something, but mainly this is about her life, not her career.
I also think it was a terrible thing that happened if it happened at all and not staged, you know they have make up that can make you look like that, but its also funny how both of them are coming out with cd’s around the same time. I also think her bringing Brit in this was so foolish and she’s gonna catch a lot of heat for saying that I think!~
Yea you can keep thinking that, Rihanna could have spoken out while she was going to court even b4 it happened she knew what kind of business she was in!~ She is doing this for people to feel sorry for her and buy her cd don’t be foolish and so dumb!~
I agree that it’s blatantly obvious why she’s speaking out now, but I still wonder if all the rumors of her going back to Chris Brown after it happened were true….and if so what kind of example is that to show to those women who go through domestic abuse every minute of every day of their lives.
i could believe it happened but i thought she went back to him after that, either way she’s a stupid bitch for bringing britney into it, i think she’s playing up to it now she has a cd coming out,
I think what she meant about britney spears was just saying she didn’t have paparrazzi on her 24/7 (like britney spears does) before the incident and afterwards they were always around.
chris looks just like my best friend and i love him to death but if her pushes me ill be like who do i look like rihanna? not kiddin lol but i really like her just an inside joke
Azgrl16 has it right. WHAT IS WRONG with the rest of you? Why should she have come to speak out right away? Besides, if you had an ounce of compassion, you would recognize how painful this is; it’s her life, not a flippin soap opera. Would you come out in public and talk abt all this mess right away? Give the girl a break!
Chris Brown is an ass. The truth is his head is empty. He’s not able to use words and that’s why he uses his fists. Pathetique. And ybrent77 I agree with you.
a witness reported it, apparantly it has happened before. so rihanna would have kept it a secret. but the same people who leaked her photos are the same ones who mentioned her name. everything happens for a reason
[...] Now that Rihanna has finally broken her silence since being assaulted last February, it looks like she is also ready to take the stage again! [...]
Rihannas a bitch she’s trying wreck chris browns career when he’s getting it back on track. It’s funny that tho how she hasn’t said anything about chris brown till now when he has a new single and album coming out! She’s just trying to wreck his career!!! Soon enough all she will say is “Chris Brown this Chris Brown that” just to get sympathy we know he beat you but get over it!!
No it’s not okay to hit women I never said it was. I just think everyone makes mistakes and chris brown did and I think everyone should move on from it and it Seems rihanna isn’t letting it go and I feel from now on she will use it to her advantage. Chris Browns a good guy who made a huge mistake I forgive him. He has danced with Elmo!!!
i think peepz should just get over them selfz ey… HONESTLY…
things like this happenz and when you think about it everyone goes thru alot of bad and hurtfull phase like this…
keep in mind, everyone aint that great…
so PEACE and keep it real…
P.S
CHRIS BROWN is still da man…
and yew still fly…xoxox
i bet you she hit him first…still no excuse ,,,but if a bro feel disrespected he can lose it like anybody else…ladies ..please don`t proke a guy..we only human..and have feelings and can feel pain too…
yeah i’ma girl. but what does jealousy has to do with me speaking what what i think. so she does have a rockhead? so you really think she didn’t hit chris first? you need to re- evaluate your life if you think i’m being jealous, there is more than just one emotion. you’re just another one of her brainwashed fans. and let me ask you this, if this was about a normal couple this happend to, and i called the woman an rockhead bitch, would you still call me jealous?
I think its harsh that she is speaking out about what happend that night when chris brown said on respect of rihanna i wont speak out !! Besides i love chris brown and everything and i support him 100% but its not any of my buisness im just saying that to make a point !
Anyways Laaaaaveeee Yaaaaaa Chris Brown <3
yes infact i would!!!! it doesnt make a difference weather it is a celebrity or a normal woman thats been beaten up , its still wrong!! really rong!! and for you to try and justify what that bolox did just goes to show that you are the rockheaded bitch!!!!
Shame on you. Domestic violence is an issue that should concern all of us. Forget that they are celebrities, there are millions of women and men out there who suffer from domestic abuse. There’s no excuse for it
