Rihanna breaks her silence on her abusive relationship

It’s taken nine months, but Rihanna has finally opened up about the night that left her bruised and battered. And thankfully she’s said exactly what we were hoping to hear: she regrets briefly getting back together with Chris Brown after he assaulted her.

This candid and emotional interview covered areas of the issue we never thought Rihanna would talk about.

During the interview, Rihanna emotionally pleads to young girls who may be in her situation to seek help.

“This happened to me – it can happen to anybody” she said.

“I fell in love with that person – that’s embarassing. That’s embarassing that that’s the type of person I fell in love with" she said about Chris.

“Don’t react off of love. F*** love. Come out of the situation and look at it in the third person, for what it really is, and then make your decision, because love is blind. So blind” was her advice to other women.

Chris is currently serving a community labour for his crime, and there is also an AVO that prevents him contacting or being within a few minutes of Rihanna for the next five years.

Thankfully, things are looking up for Rihanna – her new album, Rated R is due out on 23rd November.
