Rihanna has been EVERYWHERE lately, but of course this is no surprise. She finally opened up about domestic violence and relationship with Chris Brown in the new Glamour Magazine, in which she was highlighted as their 2009 “Woman of the Year.”
Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.
This is definitely long overdue, and there was no way that she could have avoided speaking on the subject any longer.
She also dropped her new video “Wait Your Turn” which was recently shot here in New York. Check it out below.
