Ms. Fenty is covering Glamour magazine’s Women of The Year December issue. FLOTUS Michelle O. did another cover as well. Here’s some interesting snippets from Rih’s interview where she speaks for the first time about all of this past year’s drama. About the amount of media attention surrounding her post-Chrihannagate, she said she “went to sleep as Rihanna, and woke up as Britney Spears“:
Glamour: Let’s talk about this past year—you’ve obviously been through some difficult things. How did the people around you help you cope?
Rihanna: My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.
Glamour: Are you referring to the [Chris Brown] incident?
Rihanna: I am talking about starting with the night [before] the Grammys and then on. That was not the only thing that occurred this year. The picture leaking…it was one thing after another.
Glamour: You’re talking about the photo [reportedly of Rihanna’s injured face taken by police after Brown assaulted her] that was allegedly leaked by cops. You handled that so well; you kept silent in the press.
Rihanna: It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.
In other news, Rihanna hit the streets of Manhattan last night with a lollipop and one of Amber Rose’s cropped sweatshirts.
But then she threw on some layers for the midnight cool.
By the way, here’s a pic from her upcoming “20/20″ interview with Diane Sawyer.
More Rih candids and Glamour snippets after the jump…
More gorgeous Glamour pics:
Glamour: Do you feel that this experience has laid the groundwork for coping with anything so public again?
Rihanna: It has taught me so much. I felt like 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? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?
Glamour: If you could offer a message to the millions of young women who look up to you, what would you tell someone who found herself in a similar situation?
Rihanna: 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.
Glamour: Now let’s talk about your success in the world of fashion: You have become a fashion icon practically overnight. What does it mean to you as a performer, as a creative person, as a way to celebrate who you are?
Rihanna: Fashion for me is another way I get to express myself creatively. It is one of the fun things I get to do: to play dress-up, and create outfits and looks that aren’t typical. I am an artist, so I like creating things. Shoes are my favorite thing.
Glamour: Your look has evolved from the beginning of your career.
Rihanna: In the first two years of my career, there were a lot of restraints on what I could do. I couldn’t wear certain colors of lipstick, like bright pink, dark pink or red; [my lips] had to be natural. Eventually, I stopped communicating with certain people at the label, and did exactly what I wanted to do. And that was to cut my hair, dye it black, change my clothes, change my sound. Really to just express myself.
Glamour: Let’s talk about that famous hair of yours. Your cut now is even called “The Rihanna” in salons!
Rihanna: Yeah, we cut it into a bob for the [Good Girl Gone Bad album] cover shoot, but then I went even shorter for the NRJ Music Awards [in January 2008]. My hairdresser just said, “I don’t feel like doing your hair anymore—I want to cut it.” I was like, Finally!
Glamour: Is it too early for you to think, I want to be in love, I want to have a family? Is that too far down the road?
Rihanna: I hope I find love in the next 10 years—that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love! But yeah, I’d like to be in a great place in both my personal life and my career. I still want to be doing what I love. Whatever that is in 10 years, I don’t know.
On her new album
“I’ve put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. [My new album] is super fearless—which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.”
The entire interview is here.

Tue, November 3, 2009 8:38 AM
Oh Rihanna, the hair??????????? Makes me wanna cry, sort it.
She rockin them clothes though, esp them shoes.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:39 AM
Good Morning All!!! Am I 1st?? I do not like Ri Ri new hair style!!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:40 AM
I guess not!! LOL
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:41 AM
Sorry but she forgot who her fanbase is and she is so all over the place
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:41 AM
THAT DRESS ON THE COVER IS HAWT, Balmain I think? Nice look on the Glamour spread. I’m liking the fact they didn’t lighten her up, she looks beautiful and brown.
The interview is long overdue.. I’m not commenting on that because of the timing. Too suss.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:43 AM

i miss my pre-motherhood belly
kudos to rihanna. lookin good miss lady! ;)
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:44 AM
She’s supposed to be on 20/20 this week. I have not heard her speaking voice in years (not trying to be funny but I just have not) so it will be interesting to see what she has to say.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:45 AM
Rihanna just kills it in the fasion department. Putting all the rest to shame. y doesn’t she help her ‘friend’ beyonce in that department. LMAO. she really could use the help.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:46 AM
she is consistently doing her thing. great interview love the pics
but who the fcuk is requesting that hair style?
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:47 AM
GOrgeous Doll. I smell haters coming on. But like I said, I love you Rihanna and I applaud you for being so humple and keeping your composure throughout such a ruff year.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:47 AM
Except for her hair, the Glamour pics are nice, I those dresses
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:48 AM
My sister in my head is back.. Spoken like a real lady… Rih Rih now just clear ur name about that demonic nonsense and we r back in buisness… LONG LIVE RRRIHHHHHHH..DEATH to her hair COLOR!!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:51 AM
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.
^^^BITCH…PLEASE!!…TOO LATE FOR THAT SHIT. IM STILL NOT GETTING YOUR WACK ASS ALBUM. ANYTHING TO BOOST YOUR ALBUM SALES UP.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:51 AM
CLOSER TO GOD? WHAT A JOKE
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:52 AM
WHY IS SHE SPEAKING OUT NOW?! GIRL BYE
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:53 AM
I meant I like those dresses
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:55 AM
I’m glad she stepped up and is finally going to talk about what happened.
She is so beautiful but I hate her current hairstyle.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:55 AM
One word. FIERCE!
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:55 AM
If she really wanted to help women in domestic abuse situations, why hasn’t she been speaking at battered womens shelters, groups, and giving speeches or interviews.
A fine time to do it just as her album comes out, which I will not be buying.
Personally I prefer the pon de replay rihanna, when she was a fresh faced island girl.
not this dark in nature fashion freak. just saying…
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:56 AM
I’m glad she didn’t dog chris*which I still believe is getting her goods*She could have really went there about them but I give props for her keeping it positive. I hate her hair to death! Thou
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:57 AM
Umm I’m happy for Rihanna..but I think Michelle deserves the title and cover solely to herself.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:57 AM
Rihanna looks lovely in those Glamour shots. She should definitely smile more. She’s so pretty. But I’m hating that blonde slicked back look. Not the move girl.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:58 AM
Oh hush! You don’t even know if she’s gone and spoken to anyone privately about abuse & etc.
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:59 AM
I bet teyana was readin this ready to snatch this bitch if she spoke bad about her “big brotha chris” lol
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:59 AM
you have just convinced me to buy her album.
let your haters be your motivators. thanks
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:59 AM
Fake, all this is only just to sale that weak CD, she has sold out and y’all know it. One thing about Beyonce I love and Respect she lets her talent do her talking. Every time this sorry chick comes out with something she always uses someone else to promote her self. She was not an abuse victim she got into one altercation and now she wants to bring it back up and hopes someone learns from it? Please! If she had the talent and if everyone would’ve loved them weak songs coming out you would not be hearing all this, but no, no one is feeling her not even her so called die hard stans. If you are going to do this be real about it and dont contradict yourself. She has been partying it up, enjoying all the freebees people were throwing her way and now all of sudden to opens up! Fake and I hope all these lies backfire for sure. Go on Oprah with all this and see who runs off crying after Oprah gets done with her..

Trust me honey, she hasn’t
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:02 AM
rih rih needs to speak on behalf of every women that’s has been in a domestic violent relationship…take it from me…my mom was in one for years with my dad…and me and my siblings saw that abuse all the time…sometimes u adapt it..it’s so bad…i had one boyfriend that beat me up in the street…and another that hit me…i said i need to break the cycle..my mother taught me to leave them even though she didn’t leave herself…and i was empowered after i left….no MAN has ever or will ever hit me again…i have a great husband and kids and I have my fam n friends and my God…thank you
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:06 AM
Trust me honey, she hasn’t. The hounddog/paparoaches would be all over it. Just as she mentioned the two females leaked her photos, don’t you think Bonquisha in a shelter in the hood detroit would tell Key key and leek leek that rihanna came to speak to them?? please, open your eyes.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:07 AM
I find it funny that people have the NERVE to question anothers faith or relationship with God. THAT is the joke. Who do you think you are?
Nice interview, good luck to her. Not a fan of her music, but wish her the best. The girl can rock a look. Stylist or not, she’s pulled together when she steps out.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:09 AM

THAT WHORE WALKING THE STREET BUTT ASS NAKED, PARTYING AND NOWW HER ALBUM IS ABOUT TO BE REALEASE SHE WANNA STAND UP FOR ABUSE WOMEN. PLEASE! INSTEAD OF CLUBBING, SHOPHING, WALKING THE DAWN STREET DOING NOTHING, SHE COULD’VE DONE THAT AND THEN I WOULD HAD MUCH RESPECT FOR HER. LIKE I SAID B4>>>ITS TOO LATE RIHANNA. ABUSE WOMEN WANTED YOU TO PSEAK FOR THEM MONTHS AGO BUT U DIDNT. YOU WAS TOO BUSY DOING NOTHING.

as much I like ms sunshine is a messsssss …o Lawdy
grunge died in the 90s the hair and clothes look like something Kurt Cobain/Brad Pitt would wear.
Ursuala/Mariel please sort her out when it comes to promo
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:11 AM
*hair is a mess
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:11 AM
ummmm…..Natasha…….EURWEB got it wrong, the selling price for Whit’s mansion is $2.5 and not $5.6 mil. I don’t know if I’d post any “news” stories from their site. They do well with the Gossip but not so well with reporting the “news”.
Rhi Rhi looks great in this spread.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:13 AM
Ok Chris did the same thing, finally speaking out or not really saying anything about the situation around the same time he wanted to push the single. I believe they both had to be hush about the situation since it was in court. I hope both of them speak to people going through domestic violence that would be great. Rihanna looks great in Glamour magazine.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:14 AM
three words: GO HEAD RIHANNA!
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:14 AM
She will recieve much hate from the african-american community, who pitys the abusers instead of the victims…Prime example R.Kelly, O.j. Simpson, Chris Brown, Reggie Bush..etc
You will encourage the men who mistreat women, and then wonder why men are dogs. The majority of the readers here are females, who encourage Chris Brown’s comeback. Showing that the community has no remors!
Either way,
I am all for Rihanna. Keep you mouth hushed until it will benefit you! That’s the right apporach. People are still interested.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:14 AM
I’d just like to say, all sin is equal in the eyes of God. So before you go judging Rihanna for what she’s done or does, remember that no sin is greater to God, so don’t go acting like you don’t sin, because EVERYONE does.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:16 AM
@ Waay over her ass.
I’m with you 100%
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:16 AM
Nice interview… it’s good to hear from Rihanna.
Congratulations to Rihanna for getting “Woman of the Year” and the mag cover… something else to add to her many accomplishments/awards! *claps*
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:16 AM
I dont buy it! I dont think what she is saying is sincere. I could be wrong but I find it strange and quite interesting that she finnaly decides to speak “out” right when her album is dropping. I dont think she is innocent either but thats a whole different subject. I mean.. I dont wish the chick would fail but lets be real, her music doesnt stand. and her catwalking ass hasnt shown she wants to shoe women of domestic abuse anything but to walk down NY streets in your best clothes.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:17 AM
I really want to know how much Rihanna has done to deserve disrespect? She never dissed Chris brown! She simply stated she is moving on. That is her decision, and she is wise for that! She probably has learned his maturity level is that of a 5 yr old.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:18 AM
Nice pics Rhianna. But the hair got you looking like an extra on the set of “Aliens”.
But it will work for you ;-)
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:19 AM
those dresses are too cute
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:21 AM
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey boo!!! *gently picks you up and swings you around* :D
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:22 AM
Obviously majority of the failing Black population will agree with @way Over her ass.
The illiteracy in her post, clearly shows the education level of 73% of the readers here! Take offense if it is you!
Indirect to Rihanna: I am proud you found your stregnth. Sometimes if takes more then 9 months to completely seperate yourself from difficult situations. You have found your voice, and I applaud you for using it. For mentioning your stregnth in God. Most Blacks will think success is equated with the devil. Most believe if God didn’t answer my million dollar prayers, then the devil must have answered yours.
Most need to find the TRUE GOD!
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:22 AM
I have nothing against Rih Rih, but I would like to know, “Why now”? Why speak out now when about 3 weeks after the whole ‘incident’, she was out kicking it like nothing ever happened! Was that part of the ‘recovery’?
I just feel like the YT folks are playing into this thing, and she’s using it to her advantage. I hope that she does well, and she has success, but just be real about everything. If you really wanted to help, you would’ve spoken out a long time ago, instead partying it up like it was 1999.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:22 AM
word.. she did a whole lotta talking and didnt say shit… and u know damn right that shit was editted to fit what the “fans” wanna hear… whatever that was the biggest fail ever…
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:22 AM
i dont understnad how she can be woman of the yr if she hasnt done anything positve… but i want to beleive her about the whole” i wanna give insight to young woman” but judging from wat i saw wit my own eyes i just cant.. u cant wait a whole nine months and then now ur albulm is coming out u decide u wanna have a VOICE.. lets be real rihanna, u could never set an example for woman.. dressin like a ho.. come on plz.. save that pitty potty story for your fans and not woman who are actually ttryin to make a diffrence in domestic violence.. its still crazy to me how much she is milking this… anyways she looks like crpa.. and that irst picture of her looks wierd.. why does her clothes looklike that on her.. and that hair!
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:23 AM
FOR me this is pure garbage she’s giving! as stated above fine time to speak and embrace and want to be a voice!
I undstd this is the way the industry work bt ppl will nt take her stand in the situation of DViolence seriously bc hw she’s handling it! Seems like propaganda to sell albums!
She said she’s human and all bt how hu-man is it to use a situation as serious as hers to promote and sell records, i cant take her serious!
Even after the incident Rihanna and Chris were photographed at an airport smwhere 2gthr it was nt stand up for women rights then. I knw shes young bt we all knw the intent of speaking out nw 8mths later. it wldve just been better for her nt to speak at all! Bc if she was so for the cause and a voice she wldve let it be heard way before the dropping of an album!
Good luck Rihanna bt do undstd good intentions go a long way honey! Dnt get caught up in the hype of selling records bc thats when things go LEFT! Learn from Beyonce she keeps em guessing! Her personal life and the industry are separate: PLife a “blur” for many to speculate and industry a “clear vision” for all to see her true talent/professionalism!
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:24 AM
Co-Sign! But she is killing them dresses though! Love her fashion sense (minus this new ‘do).
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:24 AM
Did anyone catch when she said it would be sad if at 31 she STILL has never been in love? That means she never loved chris brown. Well he’s STILL head over heels for her!
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:24 AM
and wat about that song hard… and did she say she couldnt wear and bright lipstick.. wtf?… rihanna your change in stlye wasnt and evlotuion no matter how much u wanna say it was.. bitch u MUTATED
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:25 AM
Gosh, you sound dumb…extremely ignorant. It’s sad that you can’t express yourself and get your point across clearly without using profanity. The whole “SHIT! WHO GIVE A FUCK! I WAS TALKING ABOUT ME PERSONALLY. SO HOP OF MY CLIT BITCH.” was sooo NOT necessary. Why are you so emotional about it? What you said does not affect the object of your hatred-Rihanna, so connsider saving your energy. I didn’t even have an opinion on the post, but your comment just sounded so idiotic and immature. Do better.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:26 AM
YEA I DONT GET THAT EITHER..CUZ IN THE INTERVIEW WIT DIANE SAYWER.. SHE SAID HE WAS HER BIGGETS LOVE.. SO I DONT GET THAT STAEMENT.. ANYWAYS ITS RIHANNA SHE ALWAYS GOES AGAINST WAT SHE SAYS.. SHE’S A BIG CONTRIDICTION TO HER SELF
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:27 AM
Thank you! This is nothing but a ploy to sell her album. She should be ashamed of herself.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:29 AM
Wow…
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:30 AM
wat do u mean chris spoke out to push a single.. when chris was on larry king he didnt have any new music out soo wat r u talking about.. chris spoke out cuz he decided to get over it cuz he new it was coming.. and even tho he made an ASS out of himself on larry king he still did wat he had to do and tried and their court case was over then so there is no excuse of why she coulndt have spke out at the appropriate time
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:35 AM
wooooooowwww… im sick of hearing people sayin we support abusers.. i dont support abusers at all.. rihanna doesnt seem sincere about ANYTHING. hence why im not on her dick about this… if she really gave a damn and she wanted to make a difference she would have used those nine months wisely and talked to woman who have been abused.. like she said in “wait your turn” there is so much power in her name.. so why didnt she use that power to her full advantage and go help people out.. instead she chose to parade the streets doin nuthin,,.. rihanna can say she wants ot be a voice all she wants but like the syaing goes ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:37 AM
HEy Mama!!!!!! :) How are you :) I need your email so we can talk and keep in touch outside of this mess!!!! :)
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:39 AM
co-sign SO-SIGN!!! Tell ‘em! Seriously though, how can you be the woman of the year when all you’ve done all year is 1. get beat 2. catwalk like a prositute 3. have done NOTHING inspirational. Is this how we want our daughters to grow up?? Seriously, she really needs to sit down somewhere and channel her soul. And for her saying “that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!” thats a smack right to CB’s face. SHE NEVER LOVED HIM!!! Then why did she stay for the beating? (Puns intended)… C’mon this was ALL a publicity stunt.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:39 AM
no best thing was when I went to yahoo like a week ago and they had a pic of rihanna and the caption read “Rihanna is trying out to be the new mascot for the St Louis Rams” I fell on the floor!!!!
:lol:
:lol:
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:40 AM
i like rihanna but that hair color makes her HEAD look BIG again! ;-/
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:44 AM
*CO-SIGN* oops lol
Another thing is that this whole beating thing and showing it to the world sounds like something out of an initiation to a gang. If you live/lived in the hood, you know that when gangs are initiating people in they sometimes go through a “beating inititation”. The beat the life out of the person trying to get in, thus embarassing them, and then they let them into the gang… Food for thought people, food for thought.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:44 AM
Everyones wondering why she hasnt spoken out untill now..well other then the obvious promotional reasons. Maybe she just didnt because she was trying to get over the situation and get to a good place in her life. It’s hard to get over a situation when the whole world is watching you and talking about you. Her personal photo of the incident was leaked to TMZ, i can only imagine how it feels for the whole world to see you battered and bruised. Secondly there were naked photos of her released to the whole world. She didnt lash out..or go on radioshows discussing it and she had to deal with all this public embaressment by herself. All of you people were sitting behind your computers and Television laughing and watching ‘the chrianna spectacle’, ‘when is she gonna speak out’ ‘Chris browns career is over’ ‘i wonder who hit who first’. I’m guilty of wanting to watch the most entertaining trainwreck of 2009 too just like the rest of you.

^^YEA I CAN’T STAND RIHANNA, WHY… BC SHE HAVEN’T STAND UP FOR ABUSE WOMEN WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT. SHE WAITED 9 MONTHS TO DO THAT. SHE USING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO BOOST HER ALBUM SALES AND THAT’S NOT RIGHT>> DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN IS NOT A JOKE…AND TRUST ME, IM NOT A CHRIS BROWN OR BEYONCE STAN. MY AUNT WAS A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SO I KNOW WHAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS>>I USE TO LIKE RIHANNA BUT SHE SOULD’VE DONE THAT MONTHS AGO. WHEN HER ALBUM IS ABOUT TO DROP NOW YOU WANNA BE A VOICE FOR YOUNG GURLS, SHE’S MAD STUPID!
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:46 AM
Just like she jump around the subject in the interview she will do the same on 20/20. She not going to really talk about it. Just like people say Chris Brown was coach….she has been too. On the real i hope she do start talking to the youth about domestic abuse its not a joking matter. I dont care if you got a cd coming out or not.She will have to answer to God if she is lying.

Tue, November 3, 2009 9:50 AM
I AGREE WITH U 100%, I BELEIVE SHE WOULD HAVE WENT BACK TO CHRIS IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE ORDER TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM. SHE IS SO FAKE. WE ALL HEARD FROM CHRIS SINCE THIS HAPPEN IN FEBRUARY, NOW SHE WANTS TO TALK BECAUSE HER CD IS COMING OUT. I WILL NOT BUY THAT BILL **TCH CD OF HERS. I WILL BUY CHRIS BREEZY, FAN ALL DAY!!!!

CHRIS BROWN CD ALL THE WAY… I’M NOT SPENDING MY MONEY ON HER, TO MAKE HER RICHER….I RATHER GIVE IT TO CHRIS…THIS HOE SHOULD OF COME OUT EARLIER AND SAID SOMETHING…CONVIENTLY, SHE WANTS TO TALK CUZ HER ALBUM IS ABOUT TO DROPPING!!!! DO WE LOOK STUPID MS RHI RHI???
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:56 AM
no one knows what she has gone through this last year, no one but her. she has taken what could have been a career ending incident and came out of it much stronger and wiser. rihanna is a smart, talented and simlpy put a fashionista in her own right, she has captured a lot of the top designers in the business and while people has been praying for her demise , she has been elevated up to another level and thats just great for her.young girls all over will want to look as beautiful as her and copy a lot of her styles.she knows that no matter what you just can’t give up she has been smart to keep silent until she got ready.
Tue, November 3, 2009 9:59 AM
love rihanna thats my bxtxh but seriously that hairstyle…mama it needs to go!!!!!!!! pronto
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:02 AM
Awwwwwwww she is so young, innocent and sweet. Luv the shoes ……..HATE the hair. I can’t wait 2 see the interview.

Tue, November 3, 2009 10:05 AM
Wow… LOL
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:06 AM
“that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!”
LOL Yikes! Chris still talking about how much he LOVES her and she never loved him! I wouldn’t love somebody who beat me up like that either
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:08 AM
please… that girl is incapable of loving. if she was she would have walked away when the relationship turned violent. i dont feel sorry for her one bit or believe anything this chick has to say. all she keeps getting is publicity for something disturbing. this was all planned. get ur minds right ppl
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:09 AM
Good point.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:20 AM
DAMNNNNN….U GO HARD LOL BUT I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU,CLDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:20 AM
And you really believe that crap. Rihanna is a product of her record company, plain and simple. She do what they tell her to do. Period.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:23 AM
I LOVE HOW SHE FINALLY DECIDED TO TALK ABOUT IT, RIGHT WHEN HER ALBUM IS COMING OUT. HAHAHAHAH THATS PRETTY PATHETIC …. I GUESS SHE DIDNT LEARN ANYTHING OTHER THAN GARBAGE AND DRAMA SELLS RECORD.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:25 AM
Maybe she didn’t speak of it because these past few months have been her coping time. You open up to a interview in a time when nothing is to be pushed or said, you open up doors for invasion for the next 9 months, and then go on a promotional blitz for an album. It’s better to combine the experience with the album. If you’re truely going to open up in the album, then let this be the platform to let everyone know what you’re speaking about. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to get questioned on the situation, but that’s the curiosity of the media!
Get over it!
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:26 AM
WOW AT THE INOCENT AND SWEET..SMFH.. U STANS ARE SOO BLIND AND U ONLY SEE WAT U WANT
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:27 AM
At the end of the day, when you choose to be a star, your life becomes that of your job. So, every move you make will effect everyone around you. Whether it’s you label, PR, hairdresser, stylist, etc. So, to be a product of the label is what it is. We walk and breathe the industry in which we work.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:28 AM
@WAAYY OVER HER ASS:
DO you! People would rather be in denial and justify bullshit then believe the truth…I’m with you…
OH and…
And YOU are are a prime example of 1/2 majority of the “uppity-know-it-all” Black population, that has always appears to HAVE the “right answer” on paper YET still falling short in some area. Your comment IS “sweetly saved,” YET in the midst of your “positivity” at hand, you blended “negativity” in there perfectly. Mixing negative and postive together…still believing to make a valid point…WRONG. See, it makes NO SENSE to tare down “way over her ass” callin her an ignorant and unbalanced individual of America (so to speak)…then in the same breath give encouragement to a girl who’s repretation and character has GONE before her after during this time. Furthermore, HER message is a little too LATE and still not enough! And no I am not comdoming violence nor sayin’ it’s ok BUT remember, this is “I’m a BAD BITCH there after Rihanna” speaking out as a victim claiming to NOW be renewed, not an innocent sweet girl who got involved with a wolf in sheeps clothing. A person’s action goes before their word always.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:29 AM
Co-Sign! and there was a topic/story on here a few days ago about how Tyler Perry was affended about what Spike Lee had to say about his movies and females on this site kept posting about how one black man should not be hating on another and I’m like damn thats what females do all day all night on these boards is hate on our fellow black women, and for the people sayin she don’t deserve the title by glamour of woman of the year, glamour is like a fashion, style magazine and in that aspect yes rihanna is the style icon of the year imo, and some should be happy to see a black woman on any cover of a magazine, also to people sayin she just doin this cause she had an album comin out um ALL artists do interviews when they have albums comin out even beyonce shit beyonce havin a whole thanks giving special on ABC to boost her “I am yours” dvd comin out, and all this bs about her worshipping satin is absolutely rediculous i mean come on are ya’ll that desperate
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:29 AM
I love how people act like they know so much about the music industry! LMAO. The naked photos scandal hurt Rihanna more then it helped her. You act like shes not a human being! You people need a reality check. Shes not begging for the publicity. She goes about her business, she wears the clothes she wants and does her thing. And then shes acused of catwalking down the streets looking for attention. This is the first interview shes done in 9months, and nows she an ATTENTIONWHORE. SMH….
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:30 AM
Who had something to say when Monica decided to wait until “After The Storm” to speak on the suicide incident. Don’t act as if you’re new to this
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:35 AM
Boy was I naive to think she would never talk about it! TIMING is everything, of course.
I’m feeling RiRi right now. Tragedy make us stronger, gives us more depth, more life, more gratitude, more drive, more heat, more substance….
I love everything she has released/leaked, especially HARD. At first listen I was like hmmmmmm. I appreciate her going back to her Caribbean roots!!! I feel like she has already learned a lesson that it takes so many artists too long to learn, STAND OUT. Don’t follow the typical formula and be CREATIVE. Even if people don’t think it’s cute or acceptable, who cares, you will stand apart from the rest = success. Too many women (and men) are clones of the person standing next to them.
What caught my attention was this line: “….that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!”
Does that mean she was not in love with Chris??!!
I thought I was in love with my first love, but looking back, I wasn’t. I loved him, but being in love is so much bigger… and better.
Gotta love her.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:37 AM
Oh to be young and have a perfect body
look at that tummy, damn!
I don’t care if she chose to speak out now, now that her album is coming out
Everyone does it in the industry, she’s not the first and the last one
I just love her
People hate her so much cause they are jealous that this gorgeous 21 year old Barbadian girl came to the US and got her money.
Kudos to her
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:38 AM
I do hope, however, that she really is serious when she says she want to be a voice against domestic violence. I know she is young, and probably still healing, but all I’ve seen her do is walk around lookin cute. I’d love to see her really step out at charity events, women’s centers, etc. Chris too.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:39 AM
Rihanna is a beauty and such a lady.
Looking forward to the album
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:41 AM
UR SO RIGHT I COULDNT AGREE MORE! ppl are saying she needed to recover bt she was with CHRIS couple weeks after the fight. why does the pic leaking make a difference when u seen with the person right after!
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:42 AM
I am in my opinion (and my friends) one of her biggest fans. However I am upset taht she didnt take responsibilty for her actions in that night and the altercations prior to that night. NOw I dotn in anyway condone and man hitting a woman restraining her if she is hitting him yes but him hitting her no and I dont condone a woman putting her hands on a man either whether that be out of anger or what have you. People from both camps said she hit him 1st that night and she had hit him in the past and she needs to be hones and not come out as a victim as if she had no role in the matter or just dont speak o it. I respect Chris for not speaking out on the night to repect BOTH of their privacy. Because he could have easlily put her on blast and let out her skeletons as well although we all would have said he was wrong and a punk or love struck. I love you RHI but keep it 100!!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:43 AM
SO DAMN RIGHT…TOTALLY AGREE
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:45 AM
NOT to throw shade! bt umm.. u no better than any of us commenting bc u on here too! anyho, did u nt knw rihanna was right back with chris after the fight! whats more embarassing a mild pic of ur bruise face or ur ACTUAL face with the abuser!????????????????????????
waiting!???????????
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:46 AM
if rihanna stole your man, he is better off without you. hahahahaha
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:47 AM
I love this interview!!! I love the pictures!!! I love, love, love that she shares the cover with Michelle Obama!!! She’s totally deserving of the award!! She’s a GREAT girl!! And drop dead gorgeous at that!!! I just love this photo shoot!! Rihanna’s is unstoppable!!! Do your thang, missy!! :-D
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:49 AM
Attention Rihanna haters: Chris still loves her.
please swallow that hahahahahahahah
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:49 AM
She is going to be badly awaken by truth…she is the media whore right now to keep blogs active and news station ratings high.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:50 AM
WHo ever said Rihanna did anything? I am tired of the “I won’t hit you unless you hit me” theory. I believe that’s how you all were raised. A man has many motives behind controlling and beating his woman! Rihanna could have said something or taken an object that sparked his anger, but you don’t have to hit someone to be abused. How many domestic violence, on all parts will there be if the abusers only beats when beaten? Really?
In that case, there would have been a self defense clause. Either way, you fight only when that’s your last alternative. The fact that he left the scene, clearly shows, he had control over the situation.
So, blame her for being abused?
Really?
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:51 AM
Sorry for the spelling errors I was typing fast I am at work you know!! lol
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:51 AM
This got my attention: “hope I find love in the next 10 years—that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!”
..Yikes… Chris wasn’t love? @Mechanicaldummy is somewhere hurt LOL
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:52 AM
BULLSHIT….SHE WILL NEVR BE A VOICE AND IF SHE DOES ANYTHING ITS NOT HER DOING BUT HER PR PPL…SHE IS NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO DO THAT HER MIND IS WAYYYY ELSE WHERE…SHOOT I DONT THINK HALF THE TIME SHE KNOWS ANYTHING THATS GOING ON AROUND HER, I DONT THINK SHE EVEN KNOWS WHATS GOING ON PERIOD!!! A LOST CHILD AND IF SHE DOESNT WAKE UP AND STOP HANGING WITH THE WRONG CROWD…SHE IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT IN THE WORSE WAY.
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:53 AM
People say Rihanna’s a media whore, yet I have never heard of her speaking to the media.
So, was britney in the wrong because everyone wanted to see her at her worse? America loves when you’re down and falling. It gives them the idea they’re above you.
As I said
You guys will buy a swiss beats produced track “transform ya” and deny alicia keys..
Tue, November 3, 2009 10:54 AM
SERIOUSLY??? U NEED TO STFU THATS ALL I GOTTA SAY…STUPID
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:01 AM
the only reason I, personally, blame her is because she knows and the public knows that it wasnt the first time that he was violent. if she knew that then it her own fault for staying in a situation that she knew would be violent. if she was so “hard” as she says she is, she would have been smart enough to walk away. and she just proved that she didnt love him by saying her quote up there. so whats the verdict????? PUBLICITY STUNT!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:04 AM
NO Child! You need to find a better command of the english language, and then try to have a internet conversation with me. Go ahead to play your little games with your other tweens
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:04 AM
Alicia tempted the guy.. come on now.. a guy wouldnt go after a girl that wasnt giving it up… please sit down somewhere with this mess… stop making it seem like the girls are all innocent and what not.
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:12 AM
I’m happy that Glamour chose Rihanna has one of the Women of the Year. She deserved it.
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:19 AM
LOL! TOO DAMN FUNNY! (MARTIN VOICE)WHO,WHO,WHO,WHOOOOOOOOOO-LARIOUS!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:21 AM
Interesting the Ms. BDSM/S&M satanic idol wearing is now mentioning GOD and being a “victim”……Really RiRi?? REALLY?? WOW……….
JayBeyOva has trained you well……good girl
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:22 AM
GO EAT RIHAAA—NA POO!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:23 AM
I was very happy to read that Rihanna actually wrote some of the music on her album. Good for her. It’s about time she did that.
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:26 AM
So, it’s okay to talk about the situation when she has an album that is scheduled to be released three weeks from today?
I’ve said it before, both of them are to blame. This is not your ordinary/average domestic violence situation.
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:26 AM
dee
Riri is NO victim, she is a scrappy lil BDSM/S&M satanic loving bisexual brawler…she was NOT born with a silver spoon in her mouth either that heffa could whoop all our azzes
She would hit Chris B. ALL the time…he SNAPPED in the car when her brawling azz was whooping on him..THEY BOTH WERE IN THE WRONG…for her to play up the “poor victim” role is disgusting to me
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:27 AM
if she really wanted to help girls she would have done it long time .oh please rihanna
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:29 AM
Justice: EXACTLY!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:29 AM
I swear the judgements people pass on others is ridiculous. Do your “thang” RIH RIH!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:30 AM
You’re too kind but I leave that honor for you and while you’re at it suck off Breezy too.
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:30 AM
LISTEN U PPPL! AS the white ppl say! lol! (joking)
anyway, GUYS(HINT:RIHANNA STANS)! REMEMBER RIHANNA WAS WITH CHRIS BROWN LESS THAN 1MTH AFTER THE INCIDENT! TELL ME HW SHE WAS RECOVERING AND HW SHE WANTED TO BE A VOICE! ITS CRAP!
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS SERIOUS, SHE NEEDS TO JUST PROMOTE HER ALBUM AND DNT TALK ABT THIS AND LEAVE IT FOR AN APROPRIATE TIME BC IT SEEMS ITS A BARGAIN TO SELL RECORDS! HER INTENTIONS ARE NT FOR REAL DV VICTIMS ITS FOR RIHANNA ey,ey,ey ey,hey! Joking my ass off bt im serious though!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:33 AM
Yes,Girl! THAT’S what jumped out at me. I’m wondering if she’s being truthful though…
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:34 AM
I hope that Rihanna takes the high road in that GMA interview and leave the low road for sleazy Breezy.
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:38 AM
Wow just wow
I support BOTH CB and RiRi
She def was in love with him she was hanging all on him at the grammy part and he looked like a sour puss. She can’t go on and on about how in love she was/is her so called fans would turn on her although NONE of us were in the car to know what did and didnt happen. There is a difference between getting into a fight (meaning you participated as well) with your man that went WAY TO FAR vs getting your azz beat cause the sky is blue or because you are breathing. I have heard real deal DV say they dont think her story (although a lil sad) is the same as theirs. I pray they have BOTH learned their lessons and healed. Good luck and God bless. She had a right to speak out like she did.
CBs play sister was not at her video set last mth for nothing that is all!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:40 AM
sure love u bunches!!! smooches!!! muah!!!! tons of hugs u lonely thug:)!
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:47 AM
Are you using several names boo?
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:48 AM
I WONDER WAT WAS GOIN THRU DIANE SAWYERS HEAD WHEN SHE SAW RIHANNA’S HAIR… I WOULD LIKE TOO KNOW WHO CAME WI THE IDEA OF SHAVING AROUND YOUR HEAD AND THEN PUTTING AN ALMOST GOLD LOOKING BLONDE TRACK ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD.. NO REALLY I WOULD LLIKE TO KNOW CUZ THIS IS EPIC.. OUT OF ALL THE BAD WEAVE JOBS I’VE SEEN THIS IS THE WORST… CONSIDERING HOW MUCH MONEY SHE HAS… IT LOOKS LIKE SHE TRYING TO GET SUM EXTRA CASH BY GROWIN A CORN FEILD AROUND HER HEAD.. SMFH THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:49 AM
Ha. it looks like I’m quoting myself. What did Reggie Bush do?
Tue, November 3, 2009 11:54 AM
YEA AND what! i PAY FOR this lappy and the electric bill and overseas wireless service! so??? stop stalking me poo eater! awwwww!!!!!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:04 PM
Natasha really needs to block these nutters on this site. You understand me boo? I know you do.
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:17 PM
Woman of the year???? For what?? What does this bish even do? the people around her create her image! I would rather have tyra banks as woman of the year, what kind of influence is this stupid glamour magazine sending out to their readers?
Now she wants to show other women? pon de 5 head not all women are stupid they now you only speaking cos you got an album out! What a fckin joke, I don’t support her or CB but at least he came accross as more honest. pon de 5 head walked on the streets like it was a fashion show, and she’s looking down on britney spears? lol thats hilarious-britney is far more successful just had some problems but rihanna your just fake
forget women of the year judgung by all the comments on most of the blogs rihanna is more like joke of the year
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:18 PM
Wow. Such hate for this young girl. Are you guys who are spouting all of the over the top negativity really serious? Is domestic violence okay and exceptable under any circumstancces? SMH
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:36 PM
DeDee honey, Rihanna was not the victim, she was the one doing the hitting and he got tired and flipped it on her. If this was some true stuff we would be all over his butt stile, but he stepped up for his part a long time ago, while she was trying to get the order revoked, sneaking around trying to spot him, walking around showing them tits, showing her tale, flat at that, and studying to be the Next Top Prostitute, that dont shout victim and need we not forget, Laughing at people, Britney was the main one and now she insults her by even comparing her self with her after what her and Melissa did in her face.. Rihanna has nerve and the people who support this crap need to wake up this is all for publicity and nothing more, no remorse just a quick sale!
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:37 PM
I am sorry to say that I am so over this situation that I can only focus on the fact that she went on NATIONAL TELEVISION with her hair like that. She is TOE-UP!
I hope she does well in the future and that the two of them get to have some closure w/each other. I don’t believe that either of them is over the other because of the abrupt restraining order. Only time will tell.
Talking about actions over words. Chris has gone beyond the court ordered work details to include anti-teen violence and donating the proceeds of his Fan Appreciation Tour to charity. The media is trying to make him irrelevant so these things aren’t widely noted. That said, I believe his remorse is genuine and I’ll be at the show in DC on December 5th. No disclaimers from me, he doesn’t try to defend his actions and neither will I. I just hope he lives up to his promise.
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:42 PM
My bitch rihanna, great interview and fab pics as always.. Wish u all the best hun:)
Tue, November 3, 2009 12:50 PM
Oh I must say I do love those leopard shoes that Ri is rocking. Rihanna should start designing a shoe line. She seems to have great taste in choosing shoes.
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:04 PM
The Glamour pics are really pretty :)
But, ummmmmmmmmmm, why is her hair still that color??? It does nothing for her :(
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:06 PM
Her single is at #9 on the charts in 12hours!!!!! Haters
get on your job!!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:06 PM
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHEN RIHANNAS INTERVIEW IS PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:13 PM
That blonde hair is really bad. Her edges looks so damaged and broken.
Her hair in the GLAMOUR pictures looks terrible too. As horrible as it was, that night did wonders for Chris and Rihanna’s careers. Her promo would not be ALL of this if not for it.
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:28 PM
Go to rihannadaily.com and watch her keep the baddest copying chick award. Rihanna believed everything y’all stans were telling her!
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:42 PM
You all are sad…Hope some guy beats your ass real soon!
Tue, November 3, 2009 1:46 PM
Damn another idiot…do you hang with tem if not please stop the stupidity..Hope some guys beats your ass too!..Please educate yourselves, a bunch fo freaking idiots
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:00 PM
@ BROOKLYN GYAL and others with similar thoughts. The interiew hasn’t even aired in full yet and we are already judging what she is going to say. If the full Glamour interview was read, the interviewer mentions a few instances where she has used her publicity to help. Hopefully, she will now be a voice for domestic violence victims. I don’t see the harm in that no matter when she chooses to raise her voice about the issue. Like someone else said, she is promoting an album, so YES it is no secret she is going to do interviews. Of course, the Chris Brown incident is going to come up, so why not nip it in the bud and discuss it since she has been hushed for months now. I don’t always agree with her “over the top sexy” outfits in the streets, but is she a horrible person. Are females really giving this girl a hard time because one of their favorite male artist hit her? I don’t know, it is like Chris Brown gets defended and praised over and over again on this site by commenters and there is hardly any remorse for this girl and what she went through. This saddens me. If you don’t like her music, fine, but gosh do we need to resort to calling her a b&&ch or hoe and hoping that she fails. Do better people.
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:14 PM
I agree, she is pretty ignorant. She might need to be in school rather than on a blog! Congrats you you “do better” for having some class
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:18 PM
im so happy for rihanna and im glad she spoke when she wanted to and when she was ready. why not speak now even if u have an album coming out because people gonna keep asking her about this for awhile. idk why people wanted her to speak out right after the incident. if you got your ass beat by your man would you want everyone in your face asking you questions?
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:22 PM
Rihanna, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL baby. Do you girl. You’re doing just fine…and the hair is FIERCE! The clothes even more so. Looking forward to the album.
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:26 PM
congrats to Rihanna, glamour is one of my fav magazines so good for her. I really don’t like her new hair cut either but the pics look amazing and I’m hoping like usual for her that this hair is just a short faze. As a grown woman that was in an abusive relationship when I was a teen I respect how she handled the situation and it’s unfortunate that this site and so many other gossip sites are full of unintelligent teenage girls who spend so much of their time bashing her when they obviously need some serious grammar classes and self esteem boosts..smh, either way as a fashionista myself I love the risks her and her stylists take..at the end of the day like it or not tomorrow she will still be doing damn well
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:33 PM
smh.. is it a requiremen to have extra low self esteem to be a Chris fan? I’m too grown to “stan” for anyone but if you’re going to atleast make intelligent comments.. lol what a joke
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:34 PM
smh.. is it a requirement to have extra low self esteem to be a Chris fan? I’m too grown to “stan” for anyone but if you’re going to at least make intelligent comments.. lol what a joke
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:39 PM
@Lias03
It’s kinda hard to “heap” all sorts of empathy,praise and adulation on Rhianna after it was SHE who was, according to leaked excerpts of her statement to the cops — was the “Aggressor and Instigator of the violence in that car on Feb 8th!”
TMZ, her biggest supporters, and CBrown’s biggest haters, even said as much! They also said that up, until June 22nd and on June 23rd, CoverGirl began to re-air her commercials; doesn’t it give YOU pause? Why didn’t they want HER to testify?
CBrown knew this! He knew it’d have ruined her, she’d have lost ALL of the public sympathy she now seems to “lather in!” CBrown saved Rhianna FROM Rhianna!!
If Rhianna doesn’t sell CD’s, NOT ONLY SINGLES, in a BIG WAY; more than AKeys, Lady Gaga and all others COMBINED, then can YOU say her CD was a success? CBrown GAVE Rhianna a Grammy on a silver platter! Chris Brown could have had her testify, THEN took the deal. That’d have ended her Covergirl endorsement deal AND made the mainstream see just what her role in that car on Feb 8th was!
CBrown ONLY took that deal because:
1.) He didn’t what Rhianna to testify.
2.) Didn’t want ANY more dirt regarding any booty call text messages.
3.) Didn’t want ANY negative light cast on his family, as TMZ hinted at, when they covered those text messages!
Why, would you ask, if “Feb 8th” was “ALL” CBrown’s fault would they even offer probation? Why NOT charge him with Assault AND Battery?
Tue, November 3, 2009 2:54 PM
I think the African-American community has the sense to know who is a real victim and who is not. Rihanna brought violence into her relationship and not vice-verse, read the police statement. So why should the African-American community throw their support behind someone who incites violence, and got her ass beat for doing so? A real domestic violence victim is the person attacked and not the attacker, get your facts straight before you down a whole race. Some individuals are quick to try and typecast this incident, well you can’t because nothing is typical about it. The woman was the original abuser in this situation.
Tue, November 3, 2009 3:03 PM
I just had to respond to this typecast. Everyone who supports Chris Brown is not a teenager, like myself; Is not un-intelligent, like myself; and does not need grammer lessons, like myself and many more on this site. I am so tired of all the women who have been abused placing their stories on here as if their stories remotely identify with Rihanna. Unless you incited violence in your relationship and then got your ass beat your story is not like Rihanna’s, so just drop it. At some point you need to read the police report so that you will know what really happened, she is not a victim in any sense of the word.

Sigh.
I know a lot of the ignorant commenters here would like domestic violence to be a black or white issue, so they can justify their hatred/jealousy of Rihanna.
FYI – domestic violence is not nearly as straightforward, black and white or by the rules as you all seem to imagine, or as is portrayed on tv.
It is not simply a matter of an evil, evil man beating the crap out of his woman because he is evil or as someone commented ‘because the sky is blue’.
It is not always a case where the woman does not fight back and is just helplessly beaten to a pulp. A relationship where domestic violence has intervened is dysfunctional – on both sides. There can be violence from both sides. That does not make it any better (though it seems as if it does to some of you).
It is the whole thing of the hammer and the fly. If a fly lights on you and is buzzing around you, do you respond by smashing it with a hammer?
Same thing with Chris Brown and Rihanna. It was reported in court that she had slapped him before. Does a slap from a woman equate to or merit being punched, kicked, slammed and bitten by a man who is about 60 to 80 pounds heavier and 4 or 5 inches taller?
A victim of domestic violence (which Rihanna is, no matter what you say) does not automatically snap out of it right away and realise she must leave her abuser. It is dysfunctional and this dysfunctionality often plays out by the woman staying with the man.
A victim of domestic violence does not automatically stop loving the man just because he hit her, kicked her, shot her, stomped on her. I knew someone whose husband threw her down the stairs and caused her to miscarry – it still took some months after that for her to leave him because LOVE WAS STILL THERE. Yes, despite everything.
Like I said, it is not black and white.
And most importantly, because of all these conflicting feelings and dysfunctionality, it is not always easy for DV victim to speak out right away. It is embarassing and humiliating to feel these things, to still be in love with someone who hurts you, to fear someone and love them.
Frankly, nine months is hardly any time at all. Tina Turner left Ike in 1976 and it took TEN YEARS before she told her story in I, Tina.
Rihanna can take all the time she wants, IMO.

Please someone, anyone post the police reports where it says she Hit Chris First. I’m just like I have never seen this, but have heard countless females stating this with no real evidence to back it up. Like please pass on the link.

What a disgjusting horrible shameful pick for Woman of the Year!! First of all, there is NOTHING great about this woman. I had never heard of her until she was beat up. Second of all, she should be ASHAMED of herself for the message that she sends to young women! She refused to press charges against the man who was beating her up! This sends the message to women all over the world that it is OKAY for a man to beat you up and you shouldn’t stand up to him. Rihanna is a horrible role model and a horrible pick for Woman of the Year. Glamour Magazine should be ASHAMED.
agree that naming her Woman of the Year is a bit of a stretch . Rihanna is clearly not the only one who needs counseling.
Tue, November 3, 2009 5:14 PM
What exactly did she do to become woman of the year? Start a school in Africa? Start a teen campaign against domestic violence? Give a press conference about positivie images and self esteem for young women? NOpe.
She let her stylist dress her and went outside. WTF.
NOW I KNOW that illuminati isht is true.

dam the witches and bitches has come out of the walls and their caves to throw rocks, slime, and getto fablous smack at rihanna. chris has not blessed riri with a dam thing his broke/d*** azz aint about shyt. and all of you talking shyt can just get back under your dam rock and stfu…. the show must go on rihanna could have easily been KILLED AND YOU SENSELESS A/HOLES could care less, not a single one od you know what she has gone through and you don’t give a dam all you know is that you all that hates her has always hated her and theres nothing that will change the hate that you have for rihanna and no one cares. screw chris and his nasety fans and stans kiss a skunk and watch rihanna in action…..SHE COULD HAVE DIED THAT DARK NIGHT ON A BACK STREET, WHERE CHRIS BEAT YOU DOWN BROWN BEAT HER TO A PULP AND LEFT HER FOR DEAD, AND HE AND THE EASTER BUNNY RAN AWAY TOGETHER AND SHOWED UP AT THE POLICE STATION TOGETHER AND CHRIS IS THE ONE WHO HACKED INTO HER COMPUTER AND RELEASED THOSE NUDE PICTURES HE AND HIS GOONS HAS TRIED EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO TRY AND TARNISH RIHANNAS NAME . BUT WHAT THE DEVIL INTENDED FOR BAD GOD CAN TURN IT AAROUND FOR GOOD YEAH C/B STANS , FANDS AND OTHER HIGHER UP HATERS OF RIHANNAS FIND YOU A FREIGHT TRAIN AND TRY TO RIDE IT LIKE ROY ROGERS RODE TRIGGER..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:15 PM
@RealDeal –>>
“Roy Rogers…”Tigger”?!?!? Ah….you’re showing your age love. I thank goodness for Google or else you’d have lost me too!
But no matter what, or who tells you the truth: denial isn’t a river in Egypt, NO! What it is, is you and fellow Rhianna robots spewing all sorts of propaganda and hysteria. It was, and I’ll say again, TMZ, Rhianna’s biggest supporter and CBrown’s biggest hater, who said that it was RHIANNA who was the AGGRESSOR and INSTIGATOR in that car on Feb 8th!!
Chris Brown’s refusal to have HER testify gave Rhianna her sorry-full career, what do you think the mainstream would have thought if they found out it was SHE who smashed him, in the face, with his cell phone?
Why do YOU think CoverGirl stopped running her commercials just weeks before June 22nd, and ONLY began running ‘em on June 23rd – the day AFTER CBrown copped to the charge? I’ll tell you why, cause they’d NOT want her to testify, why’d they want to have ANYTHING to do with someone who smacks up their boyfriend ON THE REGULAR!!
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:18 PM
there is gonna be a whole lot of bad acting on in that interview
Tue, November 3, 2009 8:44 PM
“I hope I find love in the next 10 years—that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!”
Am I the only one to notice that she said STILL have never been in love? Wow, that will surely sting with CBreezy since he is posting video tributes online and talking about still being in love with her.
