Pop sensation Rihanna is speaking out about the night her then-boyfriend Chris Brown beat her, saying it was "humiliating" and "traumatizing" to admit the assault took place and that it was "wrong" that she went back to Brown afterwards.

"That's embarrassing that that's the type of person that I fell in love with," Rihanna told "Good Morning America's" Diane Sawyer in her first television interview discussing the assault. "So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It's humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It's a traumatizing experience."

"I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong," she said. "But again ... I'm a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I'm not perfect."

The 21-year-old star acknowledged that Brown held her in a headlock twice that night and bit her on the ear and fingers.

After months of silence since the February beating, Rihanna decided to speak publicly about the ordeal so she can be a voice to help others who may be in danger of returning to abuse.

  • Nick Beam I AM THE FULL EFFECT MIX TAPE DOWNLOAD http://www.zshare.net/download/5632031008e6f612 the best you ever heard its something for everybody on here...

    UN SIGNED I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Rhianna is a f*ckin liar did she deserve no but she is not the only famous women or women that went through that so get the f*ck over it the sh*t happened in february it is now november she is not the first and she will not be the last that this happen to unfortunately
  • OKAY...after watching the interview in its entirety, I must admit her story seems genuine. She admits she still has feelings for him but no longer wants to be with him. Her story of why she went back after the incident seemed genuine. I think the only place she stumbled was when asked if she hit Chris..with that being said, her response was appropriate..."even if i did, did I deserve what he did to me?" the answer is SHE DID NOT. One thing I took from this story of the confirmation that they were two children trying to exist in an adult environment that they were not emotionally prepared for..I hope that they both get the help they need to ensure this doesn' happen again... only one question...DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE ENDED IT IF THE COMPANIES THAT SHE ENDORSES HAD NOT PUT PRESSURE ON HER?
  • THE POLICE REPORT, THE REAL POLICE REPORT TELLS THE TRUTH. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR ANYONE TO HIT ANYONE, IF MY SONS ARE EVER IN A SITUATION LIKE DV AND I PRAY THEY ARE NOT I HOPE LIKE HECK THEY CALL THE POLICE ON THE CHICK IF SHE HITS HIM. YOU PEOPLE ARE DEAD WRONG NO ONE IS EXCUSING EITHER PARTIES FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR. THEY BOTH NEED HELP. I WILL NOT TAKE SIDES WHAT'S FAIR IS FAIR... THIS GIRL STRUCK HIM FIRST PER THE POLICE REPORT.... READ IT INSTEAD OF BEING A FOLLOWER, EDUCATED YOURSELVES. NO ONE IS TAKING UP FOR CB, THE FACT IS I GUESS ITS OK FOR A WOMAN TO HIT A MAN. KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU PEOPLE SEE ON THE SHOW CHEATERS FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO WATCH IT DEPENDING ON WHERE THE SHOW AIRS. THE WOMEN ARE RECKLESS AND SLAP, SMACK, AND KICK THEIR MEN WHEN THEY FIND OUT AND CONFRONT THEM FOR THEIR CHEATIN BEHAVIOR... DV GOES BOTH WAYS AMERICA!!! KEEP IT REAL!!! WOMEN ARE AGRESSORS TOO AND INITIATE VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN. I'M A WOMAN AND WILL KEEP IT REAL. NEITHER IS RIGHT, CB OR RHIANNA. THEY BOTH NEED HELP AND HAVE A LOT OF MATURING TO DO...RHIANNA EVEN ADMITS YOU FOOLS THE MORE THEY BECAME IN LOVE THEY BOTH EQUALLY BECAME DANGEROUS FOR EACH OTHER . STOP TAKING SIDES AND BE FAIR ABOUT THE ENTIRE SITUATION. FREAKIN HYPOCRITS!!!
  • Please someone upload photos of Chris Brown and his beaten up face when Rhianna beat that azz! Cuz it really sounds like people have some battered pictures of Chris Brown laying around.

    Do people really think that this was about "fairness"? If you touch me, I can touch you back. Yes, I know girls can get raw, but how about not projecting experiences you've been in or witnessed and respond to this situation. Does someone have a battered photo of Chris Brown?
    It's clear from some of these responses that domestic violence is here to stay.



  • God, black women have no self esteem at all.
    It is pitiful to see the amount of black women that sit here and defend Chris Brown's actions and look for excuses for him.
    Instead of admonishing him for his actions, you constantly make comments about Rihanna hitting him even though you have absolutely no proof that she did.
    We do have proof he hit her including photographic and eye witness evidence.
  • I tell my sons to call the police on the chick if they ever are in a violent situation with a female. Females can play the role, how I know because I use to be that way in my early 19-25. Striking first knowing that dude would get locked up if he even attemepted to hit me back. Why did I hit and act out violently? Because I was young, immature, controling and Freakin insecure as a young lady. I am very attractive and smart but I was clingly to a man instead of enjoying life and not allowing myself at a young age to be exculsive with a man. Knowing the young dude was not thinking one he was thinking me and the other chicks too. Males are like that and I did not know how to deal with that then I look back and laugh and say how stupid I was for not knowing my self worth. Also the lack of my father treating me like a little queen as a little girl made me seek validation from a male. Believing dude was serious but looking back none of them were. I met my match in the past with one dude, he was a liar and a cheater and I acted out violently because he cheated on me and would not treat me like I wanted to be treatd. Who was I to try to make someone else do what I want them to do. I was young and stupid. Eventually he got fed up with my violence and hit me back instead of trying to calm me down. The relationship was twisted and became more dangerous for us both, physcially and emotionally. This situation with Chris and Rhi reminds me of my youth yearsWe both became equally abusive on all levels This was no Ike and Tina moment with Real Abuse a man getting up and whopping on you because you are wearing make up or your not home a certain time.
  • The Truth shall Set Her Free. This was no random act, CB did not wake up and say let me beat her A@@ before the awards show. I don't think CB is a woman beater and I'm a 33 year old woman. Rhi is angry and bitter why because he cheated and lied. Prob so many times and she delt with it instead of leaving him. She delt with his lies and cheating in a violent matter. ths is my opinion people. See No one wants to keep it Real It is not OK for a Woman to hit first or period.
  • This is a first hand account of abuse from a male perspective:



    Watching TV, trying to relax after a hard day of work. Getting comfortable, zoning out...aaahhhh...peace. BAM! BAM! BAM!!!! Loud knock at the door. Damn, who could it be? Getting up. Again, BAM! BAM! BAM! This time with more urgency. Run to the door, open it cautiously and look out. Its my best friend, and he is PISSED!!!



    I need you to come help me, he says. What's going on? I ask. What happened. I just need you to come help me get my stuff out this apartment before I lose it. I say OK and grab my shoes. I knew he was talking about the apartment he shared with his girlfriend. I get to the apartment and its in disaray. Stuff all over the place. I walk in, he points me to the bedroom. I start grabbing boxes and his clothes and taking them out to his car. I go back in for more stuff and that's when it happened. He's standing in the bedroom, she walks in. BLAM!!! The hardest, most solid punch I've ever seen a woman throw. A weaker man would've fallen to his knees; it was that hard. He lost it. DAMN! He picks her up by her neck slams her on the bed and punches her, then starts to choke her. I'm stunned I still can't believe what I'm seeing. I snap out of my daze and run over to the bed and try to pull him off. I'm talking to him trying to get him to stop. He's not listening. I try pulling his hands off her neck, she's gasping for air. He won't stop. I start chopping his wrists, martial arts style, hoping that the pain will make him stop.
    • It worked, or so I thought. He turns in one quick motion, and tosses me across the room with one arm. In the quick moment I was able to glance at his face, He Had No Soul In His Eyes. Blank, nothing, gone. I pick myself up off the ground and jump on his back grab him around the neck and wrestle him down. He finally lets go. I tell him to go outside, I grab some more stuff and take it out. I tell him we'll come back for the rest when everything calms down. I don't condone what he did, but after we talk, I learn that the MiKe Tyson type knockout punches have been raining down on him for months, and he never told me. I don't feel sorry for her, she asked for it. This guy had never hit a woman in his life before that night and he hasn't hit woman since. I know him well enough to know that his current marriage is a happy blissful one and there are no such incidents going on.



      I'm sorry people, but unless Rihanna tells the WHOLE story, I'm not listening.



      YeahISaidIt.
    • Unfortunately, I've witnessed an incident similar to that...it happens and people need to wake up. Not all women in violent relationships are the victim...They are the perpetrator...glad your boy came to his senses and moved on.
  • I think Rihanna is still bitter and is taking pleasure in destroying what is let of Chris Brown. I guess it wasn't enough he got a FELONY Conviction with no prior criminal record. He was wrong for hitting her and he is paying the price. Why this b*tch wants to tell all NOW is to sell her album. HEARTLESS, DIRTY-b*tch RIHANNA WAS f*cking A 19 YEAR CHRIS BROWN WHOSE CAREER WAS GREAT, UNTIL HE f*cked WITH A CRAZY b*tch WHY TRIED TO HAVE HIM ON DICK CONTROL!!!
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36R3DSGKP74
  • Ok, I understand its not right to put your hands on ANYONE...Male or female, but even if she may have hit him first, what gives him the right to hit her back? He's not a man if he has to hit her back. I mean I'm reading everyone's post asking what if she hit him first? It still doesn't make the situation okay!
    • so basically you saying that a women can hit a man over and over and hurt him. but he cant hit her back. get the hell out of here. Men are human to. The bottom line if you dont want to be hit you dont hit somebody first. and that fool had no choose to stop talking to chris it was court order. If not she would still be talking to him. They were to kids in a grown up situation they dont know how to love the other sex yet the right way they are 20 and 21. They were together for like 3 years. Its time to move on and there next relationship they better take it slow
    • How slow are you? You sound ignorant as hell you prolly got your ass beat a couple of times. If you watched the interview tonight she said that she never did anything to provoke him dumbass. She wasn't saying that its okay to hit anyone male or female, but that doesn't give him an excuse to have in a headlock to a point where she could barely breath, hit her so badly that her face was swollen. You're freakin ignorant!
    • shut the f*ck up yo b*tch ass.
  • I wonder if rihanna hit chris first
    she is constantly putting the blame on him
    she needs to take responsibility for her actions in that situation and personally i dont think that interview was genuine and isnt it werid that shes doing this interview two weeks before her new album comes out? this smells like a publicity stunt
    • Another Whitney Houston...
  • I REALLY HOPE THEY ASK HER A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TOO:



    DID YOU HIT CHRIS BROWN TOO?????



    Please for the love of God, somebody please ask her this question on TV!!! So we can all see what she will say, and see everyones mouth drop.
    • I feel as tho she should have hit him, this is 2009, i will let any man know regardless of size height personaility "I hit back", so if he did, she was supposed to hit his ass back......real talk
    • So if she hit him then what?!?



      All 115 lbs. of her got raw with him and so she must've deserved it?? OOOOOOOkkkkk. WTF?!?!
    • I agree with that one as well ask her did she attack him as well.
    • Yeah, ASK the question!!! Did all 115 lbs of her deserve it if she did hit him first? You GODDAMNED right she did. Tired of women screaming equality but then I'm a woman, you shouldn't do that when your big mouths and uncontrollable egos get you in trouble. I don't care how big or small you are, there is only so much one person can take before they snap, and if she did hit him, with what? Hands, shoes, plates...what? ASK HER THE QUESTION ann MAKE her answer!!!!
    • Jay, you obviously don't know how vicious a woman can be especially when she's heart broken and feels betrayed...When emotions are that high,a 115lb woman can do damage equal to a 300lb man.
  • Aren't these superstars always travelling with security ... I smell something very fishy here .... very ... and if he was beating her so badly how did she get the chance to see his soul during that beating? Hmmm just saying the whole truth is never gonna come out.

    Playing with the public is not a good thing both Rihanna and Chris ... black out is an excuse b/c someone got betray probably Chris by security since they know that she had to see a doctor.

    If those officers didn't have to come to the scene at the hospital and reported this ish it would have never seen the light of day and they would still be together especially if the pic wasn't publish.

    Right or Wrong they are both playing the public ... good those P.R. people ... they must be getting an hefty sum for doing their jobs ... Chris apologizing wks after and continually doing so and then Rihanna doing the interview then Chris doing his interview ...

    Team both ... they will be blessed but I bet all the money in my bank account that they will be back together again after the next 5 yrs when the restraining order is removed and their careers are solidified with the public then they will say I'm a grown up and I have to live my life the way I choose.
    • Another thing is why is this a Basic Instinct moment with Rihanna acting like guilty Sharon Stone but then we gonna feel bad for her because she is a woman.

      Then the P.R. people for Chris with the baby blue shirt and bow-tie ... Boy I'm telling you.
