That lying no talented, I really want to call her a little tramp right now for playing this the way she has all just to sale that CD. She left him because she did not want other females to go back into an abrusive relationship! yeah right! Def Jam made her do it and she knows it. Rihanna just lost a lot of respect from people, the only ones that will continue to believe this farce are her true cult followers, but his here is down right wrong and I for one hope it back fires all the way back to Barbados.
Rihanna dont care about no one but her self, if that’s the case and she was so worried about others why did’nt you go and visit a shelter when you were walking the streets of New York, are showing you but, better yet! showing your tits or laughing at people? but no, she wants to get pity from people just to sale her CD she needs to quit. I thought she could go no lower than what she already have but this here; beats the cake…
ok cant watch it but from the first comment if she said she left him cause of that i am in shock..i cannt believe this girl!!…omg!!! how about y did she not press charges??? why did her lawyer want the order removed??? omg!! in shock right now!!!
actually i’m disagree this interview amde clear that once u reach a level or stardom u don’t belong to yourself!!!! which fan want to see her idol in an abusive relationshiP???
look at whitney i’m a die hard fan!!! even if i think that just whitney was a solid album she didn’t sell a s*** not because of her music but because people were more concerned about her personal life!!! i look to you is a success also beacuse she has dropped that crack head!!!! and must i remember you that almost of her first interview with oprah was about her relationship???
it clearly seems that rihanna still in luv with him,but actually even if she had decided to stay with him it would have backfire to her !!!
i’m not a fan of her but i can understand it, if u were in her shoes would you take the risk to lose everything,or to sacrifice all that u’ve done for a lovestory,like that ????or that can end up in a few months???let’s get serious none of us will and is hyprocrite to say that she must do somethin that u would never do so puleeeeeeeze go preach somewhere else!!lol
the first commentor is absolutly crazy! and ur sick as f*** whoever ur, rihanna is representing victims of domestic violence around the world shez showing them that going back to the partner who will abuse u is not the right way 2 go. so whoever u r stop talking s*** u r obviously stupid
I’m not crazy, you dont wait 8/9 months or weeks before you trying to sale something to speak out for others. Rihanna dont represent nothing constructive for any abused girl, woman, man or dog.
Why do I feel like the main reason for this is a promotion? Oh that’s right, it’s because it is! famewhore, no respect for her!!!!
Whystillinbusiness, you need to realise that not everything is a conspiracy. Yes its right before her album is out in a couple of weeks however it had to be done at some point, if she had spoken ages ago that would have suited you better however it is a situation that was embarrassing and something she didn’t want to relive (something she said), i’m sure she would not have liked not to speak about it and forgotten about it like a lot of women outside the fame circus can and do. Britney went through the same meltdown and was seen partying and going through a rough patch where people thought she should be at home crying about her children, meanwhile didn’t realise its a coping mechanism to act like nothings happened.
The fact of the matter is she had to speak so people both understand her musical direction and to help other girls in similar situations. Who are you to say when someone should open up. Rihanna obviously is ready to speak now as she wouldn’t be going in the spotlight on her own if she wasn’t. I’m not a fan of Rihannas music but i do realise when people are just out to get someone and that what it seems your out to do. Get a life and stop trying to project hate because the girl has spoken now, i’m pretty sure whenever she did it you would find a fault.
OK Chris Brown beat her to a pulp and i can assume more than once but she loved him and thats why she stayed, thats why she didn’t press charges, and thats why she tried to get the restraining order dropped. Again Chris Brown did beat her with all of his 6’2 220lbs frame. so what the f*** is everyone’s argument again. He still beat her and that’s should be the center of focus. it amazes me at how twisted ppl are being about this. I like chris just as much as the next fan but he still brutally attacked this girl and needs help. I would luv to know what would ppl think if Jay did that to be, i guess then it would be a real issue since Bey is a “real talent” (yes that’s sarcasm)!
The fact that this interview coincides with her upcoming album notwithstanding, I applaud her for being honest about why she went back and why she was initially ignorant of the impact her decisions have on her audience. I do wonder about how Chris will react to this interview, hold up he’s already doing damage control on mtv right?
People, this is a 21 year old young woman who was in love (and probably still loves) a young man who made a very bad decision. This couldn’t have been at all easy to deal with. At first I too was disappointed that she seemed to not give a crap about the influence of her decision, but I’ve never been a battered woman nor have I ever been in love with an abusive person, so I couldn’t understand. None of what she went through could have been at all easy to deal with.
As for her 9 month silence? I think she needed to block it out and focus on what she does best – expressing herself through music and fashion. Drake said that she needed time away from the incident, and he was right. It’s unfair for any of us to have expected her to snap into “poster girl” mode and start speaking out against domestic violence. She needed time to heal.
chris aint do sh** this b**** lies and lies, cant stand her
This is to the first commenter, and anyone else who is referring to her as a famewhore. A famewhore is someone who is seeking constant attention from the public in order to make a name for themselves. Please let me know the amount of times Rihanna was publicly speaking or commenting on this incident before now? It’s obvious she didn’t want to speak on it at all. Obviously your not aware of the control a record label has over an artist and what they can make happen when they want it to happen. Yes, obviously the release of her album is probably the reason the label told her to do this interview @ this time.. which is actually a smart business move you would be stupid not to think so. But hey isn’t chris doing everything on or around the time of Rihannas publicity? i.e (single release, mtv interview special, youtube video?) How can you honestly think she wasn’t truly hurt or saddened by the incident or how her fans were reacting to it? That’s bogus, I know from growing up in an abusive home and watching my mother finally leave my father that the last thing a person wants is for someone they love to see them hurting or in this case think its okay to continue a relationship where the love is painful. And if you have a strong fan base consisting mainly of young girls you want to display a positive message to them ( & yes I know that her outift choices are not what you call positive, but thats beside the point), not that it’s okay to run back to the guy bc he said he wont do it again. && for the first commenter.. honestly if Rihanna went to an abusive shelter to talk to young girls i’m quite sure you would say that she was only doing it to promote an album, so consider yourself a hater and quit trying to act shocked by actions that aren’t even as deep as your portraying them to be.
Though I do not really want to give her the benefit of the doubt, as far as her timing doing an interview weeks before her album comes out (we all know how that goes), i can’t help but put her in the same boat for with whitney for this reason:
Yes, we all know this will be a HUGE promotional venture. BUT, she and her team are not dumb enough to know that when she starts doing promo (x factor, tyra, etc)..she’s going to be asked all these questions. so why not just do ONE BIG interview..answer them all, then let just avoid them in the rest of the interview. its going to be painful for her to answer the same questions over and over. she’s not speaking about a movie..this is her LIFE she’s speaking about. so to a degree, it works both ways. she gets to talk about it, get it off her chest, promote her album, and hopefully..not have to deal with answering those same painful quesztions over and over
Loool Sorry But Some Of This Interview, In Terms Of Its Sincerity, Is Up There With Chris Browns Apology! TELEPROMPTER/CUECARDS/LYRICSWRITTENONMYHAND GAME PROPER!!!
1:10 – 1:23 Sounds Like She’s Reading A Script For Days Of Our Lives! Loool…
And PLEASE Check 3:21 Onwards….Why Is She Stammering Whilst Trying To Look Down Inconspicouosly?…Shes Reading Somethin! LOL!
She has a weird accent.
y’all some real haters up in here especially on rihanna, i know sam’s (thatgrapejuice) review will be hateful too because he hates rihanna and loves and wants CB. But Seriously WTF at first commenter??? THATGRAPEJUICEPRODUCESHATERS is right 100% and watch the hating continue, as its been that way ever since thatgrapejuice put a spin on things like this, and favours and hates on artists in their posts
Rapz what the hell you on?? there is proof!
Now matter whatever reason she really left Chris for, she did the right thing
“Look at it from a third person point of view” YES YES YES that’s the perfect line and she right on that one.
She still loves Chris it looks quite obvious in her face.
She looks like she’s hardend herself and her heart from that pain and all i can say to the negative comments coming her way for this is that “THE PIC SAID IT ALL”
She is tough and she maybe even bad mouthed but at the end of the day she should get that beatdown he shoulda just thrown her ass out the car and drove off.
As bad as even that would’ve looked for Chris he would’ve then had a story to tell..
Everyone deserves a second chance YES however in the public eye you gotta let the relationship slide and just forgive… MOVE ON as hard as it is
All i hope is that she comes with some fire tracks and gets out this dark mode she’s in.
Rihanna ain’t an CD i’d buy and never have but as a black artist making it in the industry I defo appreciate her hustle and success she just doing her, no matter what is said bout the vocals.
All of you guys saying this is for promo, y’all need to shut up. Most celebs speak on things when they have something to promote.
As a man that witness my sisters going through abuse as a lil boy, I thank Rihanna for speaking. BETTER LATE THEN NEVER.
From the clips I can see she’s being totally honest about why she didn’t press charges and went back to him. If she was making up b******* excuses, I would call her out on it.
She did because of a reason, that while we are talking here, a girl is somewhere getting beat to death by her boyfriend: LOVE
If she was walking around speaking on the matter for the last 9 niine months, you guys would be yelling how she’s famewhoring!
From a Beyonce stan.
P.S: Sasha is performing ‘Sweet Dreams’ later on the EMA’s 2009. Make sure y’all tune in. She’s going to kill it! Excited. And make sure you check her new video with GaGa after that on MTV.com.
I think that the interview is super sincere especially when compared to chris browns foolishness with the bow tie. To all those saying that the only reason she is speaking about it is because of her album, thats stupid. She’s doing all kinds of publicity for the album and the truth is that no matter what she cant escape these questions. At least she is being honest about what happened to her. Some people dont seem to realize that despite her fame she was a victim of abuse…if it was one your sisters/cousins half of you wouldnt be making these comments
oh forgot something…If Rihanna is doing all this talking for promotion, then what exactly has Chris been doing in the last three incoherent interviews including the one he’ll be doing with MTV tmw? aaaaaahhh food for thought u f****** idiot monkeys!
I’m not a cb or rhi fan I’m a reality fan. And this is reality. Rihanna did not go back just cuz of luv in my opinion. She went back cuz she also was the abuser. I wrote on her site earler that when I seen her in orlando at the aiport she was in line and noone knew who she was. My emplyees asked to pull cb out the regular and help him through quicker. I approved it and he was nice funny cool and fanbased. Rih was rude cocky and disrespectful. She was not fan based at all. When asked to take pics she refused and he agreed cuz he wanted to flaunt their relationship. She got pissed and shoved her dog in his hands and made him stop and keep walking. She was even rude to the officers. So kill dis poor rih and I wanna be a role model mess. Her actions showed me that day that she is a fighter and she like control. What cb did was wrong but instead of burying him she should admit to her physical part also. And this inteterview is definitely for her album. Please believe. Cuz like someone said ealier why didn’t she come out sooner instead of parading around the world like all was good.
First of all, Rihanna is #1 on US Itunes. The song is critically acclaimed and is oficially embraced by the public. She took a risk, and it’s paying off. She has every right to clear the air with Chris Brown. I think the timing is a bit tacky for Chris Brown to mount a comeback.Thankfully, this interview will remind everyone how he brutalized her just months ago. A horrifying offense that’s glossed over, especially on this site.
Sam is not only encouraging, but feuling the hatred against Rihanna. He puts her on his banner, fills his page with her photos and music, then bashes her at every turn – while posting that he loves Chris Brown (top song of the moment.) It almost seems like Chris is the victim when you look at this site. Twisted.
Sorry, Sam but you’re a bit disgusting when it comes to politics. I come here to at least give some defense to Rihanna and others.
Why do you have to be so hateful in your posts and inspire comments that are fist fights? Why don’t you look at neonlimelight and get some inspiration. Shame on you.
She is a dumb cow for going back to him im glad she realises now
I’m glad she left his insecure ass!!!! Her new music still sux though.
@bobs…
Ur exactly right her timing paid off her song is #1 on itunes. Now do people see how this is just a publicity stunt. U never once heard cb say anything bad bout her other than they hit eachother and that night things got out of hand. He’s now seving his sentence and she serving him his new sentence by trying to end his career while she get signed by nokia and her album goes #1. Rih needs to remember when u sell ur soul to the devil the is looking for payback at some point in time. Cb appreciation tour monies is going to dmv victims and rih hasn’t even went to a shelter or named some places where she donated money to help them get better lives after their beating. My friends always value my opinion about people they say I have a gift of sight to see how a person really is. And I honestly feel in my heart that rih is not innocent and the truth will be out soon and what will her stans say then when they find out she was ana buser too.
She never loved him and has taken the perfect time to talk, the time her album is ready to hit shops, if she is soooo embarrased like she says and wants her life to be private, why dish all the dirt further more, so people can talk some more?
At least when Chris did his interviews, he feel he didn’t need to go into detail or put dirt on her name, she doesn’ts and never loved Chris, that’s why she could sit back and watch him go with months of being bashed by the media, so it’s easy for her to now come out, as her CD hits the shops and bash him some more by talking negative about him, trying to make people feel sorry for her, she wants the pity vote and she’s got it and this whole victim thing is working for her, by her saying she wants to help other woman, is so that people who have experienced DV and young girls can buy her album for pity, I think it will work but Rihanna has shown her true colours that she is bitter, has not forgiven Chris, never loved him but hates him.
Yes he was wrong for hitting her but I doubt she is a saint, like she claims to be or is trying to make herself look like she is, I don’t know what deaf jam drummed into her head but going on a bashing tour of interviews against someone who has a career with devoted fans, is a bad move, Rihanna thinks she has the power and the upper hand, out of the two because she is meant to be the victim and wants to play that role but she is a nasty heartless person deep now, instead of moving on and not saying much, she wants us all to talk about the incident again, to promote herself, to gain sympathy buys, to try and kill her EX Boyfriends career, who she now hates.
Everyone makes mistakes and people need to stop bashing people when their down the constant bashing towards Chris, is pretty pathetic, he deserves to move on, just as much as she does, the only think about Chris he has feelings and didn’t want to tell the world what really happened and took all the blame instead, so of course Rihanna can play on that and do her way as she thinks she is in control, she doesn’t want people to like Chris and right now, she wants to do everything in her power to ruin his career, so that her career can get bigger, very twisted indeed, I think she’s a heartless b****
Karma will get her, Chris was wrong for hitting her but she is wrong for plotting a downfall on him, just as he wants to move on with his life and get past the situation.
I think the statement “F Love” is soo bogus… i wish not just Rihanna but people in general would just face the fact when in love or when hurt “No body” esp when in love is going to say F love… lets be real… also the situation with her happen almost a yr ago, so what you are a celeb she does not owe her fans or nobody in this world reasoning or a look into her life. If she really wants privacy go get yourself together in private like some of the older celebs!
she is saying ” F love” coz her a** knows she throwing chris under the bus..i cannot believe she continued with the i am victim act and even cried crocodile tears..omg, cannot believe this girl..all for cd’s..what happened to your talent speaking for itself??? rihanna jus hit a new low…smh…
so much drama around rihanna
i don’t even wanna read all them boring essays you keep posting,it’s not that serious,
calm down people
Reminder: CHRIS BROWN IS NOT THE VICTIM. He is the abuser. You all are like a lynch mob. It’s her fault he beat her up. Chris says, “They hit eachother” – that’s his confession. It wasn’t my fault. Chris, YOU DON’T HIT A WOMAN – EVER.
Chris Brown BEAT RIHANNA into a BLOODY PULP… His punishment? Community service and a brand new album and your. I’m sure lots of p****, lots of week, lots of money. Poor Chris Brown. Ohh he’s donating some of his money. Poor Chris Brown.
Ohh. Rihanna wants to talk about the abuse. She’s a b****.
If you’re defending Chris Brown, you’re as dumb as a f****** rock. Sorry.
All I can is WOW… she really is playing the victim now. She really want them album sales. Thats really f***** up on how she is acting now. A week after the incident they were both in Miami living it up together. SMDH
@RIHANNA LOVED BY WHITE FOLKS = Success 3rd album upwards
R U Serious? So because Chris Brown beat her up and then decided not to put the details of his actions on blast Rihanna’s still at fault. LOL I guess you’ve never taken two blows to the face by someone who claims to love you. I’d would luv to hear your reaction then.
A serious question to all, lets say Riri and Chris were two nameless faces, how would we all feel then? I don’t care who you are, what you do, whose at fault, a man should never, ever lay a hand on a woman, even if she deserves it. Especially when he’s a trained boxer with football size fists that can do one hand stands.
I’m thinking that the average person writing on here is a teenage girl wet for chris brown. Who cares if this is coming out around the time of her album, she has been recording for months and has just came to terms with it.
As for you Sam, you are very hypocritical you clearly have a hard on for Chris Brown and I don’t think condoning domestic violence as you do is something to be proud of. Oh well Rihanna has the last laugh no 1 on i Tunes whilst Chris Browns horrific new single can’t even make top 10.
Rihanna… I think you need your a** whooped again! You know damn well you’re only doing this now because you have an album out! I’m tired of her naive fans saying that it takes time and she can talk about it when she wants, but her actions don’t add up to why she would talk now. First of all, it’s the media’s fault that these two were embarrassed. No matter how bad the situation is with a celeb, it is nobody’s damn business what happens in their personal life. It should’ve been between the police and his and her family.
Second of all, why talk about it when this is the exact time that singers do their interviews… a few weeks before the album drops? I could see if she didn’t have an albums dropping until March of next year.
Third of all, even if she did talk about it later, why now when Chris is starting to promote his album and get back on track? Even when y’all broke up for the final time, y’all still were talking on the phone and decided to remain good friends! You even said it was still for the restraining order on Chris and wanted it removed?
She will never be a good role model for young girls, having naked leaked pics, being damn near
1. “Im embarrassed that this is the person i feel in luv with. Then this broad had the nerve to say she impacts young girls and wants to set a good example!
Why didnt you do this a month ago instead of walking around taking pictures, clubing and dating?
Why NOW? Cause you want my money? You want to sell your album!
“I didnt do this.”
Rihanna do you expect us to believe that he jumped on you and attacked you for NO REASON after YOU found something in HIS PHONE?
give me a break!
No one deserves what happened to them, but the truth is the truth! Tell the TRUTH rihanna! Neyo even said that yall fought constantly!
She played the hell out of the victim and threw him under the bus completely!
She didnt have to throw him under the bus like that! thats crazy!
chris…you can go ahead and tell your REAL SIDE now. Im all ears!
PUBLICITY SELLS. SHE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE TO USE HER SITUATION TO PUSH HER AGENDA AND SHE WON’T BE THE LAST.
PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON AND DON’T TAKE THEM OFF!
what about her history of violence
punching, hitting people and cracking bottles on their heads
no one is invincible and not everybody will take things
the same way
men shouldnt hit women
and women should stop hitting men as well
yawn this b**** is tired.. i agree with comment number 1… this b**** was goin dinner.. partyin… walkin street and laughin it up for the last 8-9 months since.. not once has she spoken on behalf of battered women or anything.. shes just a jarrin lil w**** who’s usin the media attention on this to sell her shiteous devil induced album. 🙂
IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PUBLICITY STUNT,WHY!! WOULD SHE TALK ABOUT THAT NOW.SHE HAD ALL THE TIME IN WORLD.NOW THAT HER ALBUM IS COMING OUT SHE WANTS TO TALK.SHE IS FINDING AN EXCUSE FOR HER STUPIDITY. SAYING SHE WANTS TO BE A BETTER ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG GIRLS.SHE CAN’T BE CAUSE SHE IS STILL DRESSING LIKE A S***!!! AND SHOWING HER BOBBIES IN PHOTOS.(ALSO SPREADING HER LEGS ON STAGE) HOW IS THAT A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF A ROLE MODEL.IN HER MIND ROLE MODEL MUST MEAN WILLING TO DO WHAT EVER TO MAKE MONEY. PLEASE!! YOU CAN’T FOOL ME WITH YOUR SLICK WAY OF TRYING TO PROMOTE YOURSELF AND ALBUM(WHICH IS COMING OUT SOON).I MEAN THIS GIRL HAS NEXT TO NO TALENT.SHE IS JUST AN INDUSTRY HO LIKE LADY GAGA.THEY ON THE SAME LEVEL THEY CAN’T SING NOR DANCE WORTH A DAMN!!!.BUT THEY LOOK NICE,HAVE CATHY SONGS,DRESS NICE,AND HAVE ALOT OF S** APPEAL.THE ONLY REASON FOR JAY-Z SIGING RIHANNA I PERSONALLY SEE IS BECAUSE SHE IS BEAUTIFUL(AND HE FELT LIKE HER COULD MAKE MONEY OFF OF HER).SHE IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST.AS FOR LADY GAGA (GAGA GONE!!) GO EAT YOUR BABY FOOD. I AM NOT A HATER I AM JUST STATING THE FACTS OF THE MUSICAL INDUSTRY.IT’S A CUT TROTH BUSINESS,IT ALSO ACCEPTS MEDIOCRITY.IF YOU LOOK GOOD AND MAKE CATHY SONGS YOU WILL SELL(IT’S LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS SHE CAN’T SING BUT CAN KINDA DANCE).IF YOU DON’T LOOK GOOD BUT HAVE TALENT YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT GET A RECORD DEAL OR WILL AND NOT SELL RECORDS.THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!! ALSO THEIR ARE GROUPS THAT YOU HAVE TO JOIN IN THE INDUSTRY (FREE MASONS OR ILLUMINATI)THEY FIND AND ARTIST THAT THEY THINK THEY CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF AND ASKS THEM TO JOIN WITH THEM.IF YOU DON’T THEY WILL EATHER TRY TO DESTROY YOUR CAREER OR KILL YOU OR SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY.THEY ARE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS,THEY ARE ASKING YOU TO SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL.THATS WHAT RIHANNA IS DOING ON “RATED R” IS SELLING HERS SOUL TO THE DEVIL SHE SOUNDS POSSESSED ON SOME OF HER SONGS.
I think it’s a little bit of both. yeah, the timeing of the interview is for publicity for her album. But to say that what she is saying in the interview isn’t genuine is rediculous. This is still a serious situation that she went through. All these feelings that she is expressing she probably actually went thtrough. So to call this interview complete crap just because of the timing isn’t right.
whyyyyy would she talk about it soo son after she got beaten up if she did you haters will still fink it a publicity stunt watever she is in that time of life where sh eis ready to talk about it soo what if it weeks b4 her album she can do what ever she wants to do jheeez people soo wet over chris brown he beat her ass like it nothing he is f****** 6 foot something is he mad why the hell are you feeling sad for him all those girls who feel sad for him your the girls who are going to stay with your abusive lover he will beat you everyday every night WTTTFFF plllz i feel sorry for rihanna fame is too much i dont know why people cant just leave her alone what has she done wrong what she went partying she was walking down the streets looking nice sooo because she got beaten up she is ment to hide away from the world and be some looser im proude that she stuck her head up high and carried on with her life people like SAm and the rest of Rihanna haterz your not going to succed in life if you speak negativly about othe rpeople Whooo you dont even know about get over yourself ..
i would tell my kid to remember to not hit others cause once u reach that route
all hell could break loose
she could of just dumped him and left it alone
and if she was so scared for her life
y did she say that she couldnt accept him not telling her the truth
but she never states what she said or what she did
then she goes on to say that even if she did hit chris it was still wrong for him to do that to her
but its okay for you to hit him
these double standards is what got her into this whole crap in the first place
granted i do think she cared about him and she didnt think things would get so bad
but at the same time she is a woman scorned and she thought she was invincible bc she hits other people
and usually blows a tantrum and gets away with it
well everyday is not saturday
im not even mad at her speaking out but she had nothing to say in court which is were she could really get her justice
but now she realized album sales and fake caring for young girls will hide the fact that im a crappy singer
i tired of all celebrities any artist using every day events which happens to ordinary people to speak out in order to get attention, rather it be record sales or trying to show the media that they have changed
its false advertisement and its not right for those who are out there looking for positive role models to encourage and inspire them to take the next step in order to avoid these types of situations.
