As tabloid celebrities go, few can rival Rihanna‘s ability to generate headlines.
One of such instances came in 2012 when the model controversially reunited with Chris Brown.
The pair’s history is well-documented and is, perhaps, most defined by the 2009 incident which saw Brown pummel his then-girlfriend after an argument.
Expectedly, the reconciliation was short-lived and the duo have since moved on to pastures new. In the absence of new music, 27-year-old Rih used her feature in the November issue of Vanity Fair to explain why.
Find out what she had to say about her second split from C. Breezy below…
“I was that girl… that girl who felt that as much pain as this relationship is, maybe some people are built stronger than others. Maybe I’m one of those people built to handle s*** like this. Maybe I’m the person who’s almost the guardian angel to this person, to be there when they’re not strong enough, when they’re not understanding the world, when they just need someone to encourage them in a positive way and say the right thing.
I was very protective of him. I felt that people didn’t understand him. Even after … But you know, you realize after a while that in that situation you’re the enemy. You want the best for them, but if you remind them of their failures, or if you remind them of bad moments in their life, or even if you say I’m willing to put up with something, they think less of you—because they know you don’t deserve what they’re going to give. And if you put up with it, maybe you are agreeing that you [deserve] this, and that’s when I finally had to say, ‘Uh-oh, I was stupid thinking I was built for this.’ Sometimes you just have to walk away… I don’t hate him. I will care about him until the day I die. We’re not friends, but it’s not like we’re enemies. We don’t have much of a relationship now.” [Source]
Interesting.
Yaaaaawn! Your relationship is YOUR relationship rihanna. We don’t care about you and Chris anymore. What we care about is why #R8 is #RL8 …
She was asked a question so she answered it, whats your problem?
this mediocre b*tch is annoying as f*ck. she is a not a model…she will never be. she should stick with chris brown and let him beat her up again so that she could sell tabloids and some pity singles.
🙁 🙁 🙁
new album…..same bullcr@p.
Chris Brown and Rhianna go together like peanut butter and whatever punches peanut butter in the face.
Rihanna is becoming a real stipud f*cking c*nt.
🙁
Riri’s clit0ris is still itchy (from those STDs that Chris gave her won’t just go away)
That why…
Trying to stay relevant I see speaking the whole situation with CB made her more relevant than her name being mentioned along next to JayZ’s Roc nation! Yes it was wrong what he did but hunni ppl go thru much worst so why not shout out the woman kids and men who are going thru abuse! Why not have a foundation for it or charity or something ! Girl Bye ! And Navy stop saying she was ASKED! She knew they WOULD ask before they said “scene” and she got into CHARACTER! Chile
SHAME THIS CLOWN WILL BE KNOWN FOR HER FASHION AND NOT FOR HER MUSIC, SHE HAS HIT MUSICAL ROCK BOTTOM
LAZY PERFORMANCES, LAZY VOCALS, LAZY LIVE SHOWINGS, UGLY TATTOOS, DRUG USE
GIRL BYE
I love my fave.
dumb….
low moral c***
*Plays Tinashe Player Featuring Chris Brown.. No shade
Protective of him yet you did interview after interview about him which helped TARNISH his career.. Very protective but I don’t judge
Just like always, use Chris for promo.
THANK YOU!!!!
desperate for sales…still her albums …hardly going gold.
😀
I doubt this stunt will work again for her album like it did back then…….
Romantic though
Rihanna new album is called “A Rated Loud Girl Gone Good Talking Apologetically”…..’time to revisit all your old eras to make buzz girlfriend! Sucks when u have No actual artistry to fall back on.
Can’t believe this no good useless talentless ,bipolar animal laid hands on riri who really did care for him .
Beyonce fans are used to abuse ,jayz beats and cheats on her ,that’s why you people would accuse a girl reaching out for a man she loves and cherishes as using him for promo ….shame on all of you .
“That’s why you people would accuse a girl reaching out for a man she loves and cherishes using him for promo” b*tch stop it, this is published magazine. If her intentions of “reaching out” and letting Chris know how she felt were genuine then she would’ve said it to him personally. Instead she’s spilling her tea to millions of strangers. Rihanna hasn’t been making music for a while. But the time she happens to be in the process of releasing a new album just so happens to be the same time she feels comfortable enough to share.
The biggest kiii is that he stopped a long time ago talking about her, but here she is… But then again, it’s not like fuccking Travis Ugly Scott will keep ha in the news so.
Girl call me when Nicki gets another hit after being dumped by safari …u sound delusional …u Stan for the fakest woman in music .her face is fake her boobs fake b*** fake hair fake ….remind me again why Mikey and even her best pal drake called her out for the b**** she is.
You do realise,you gonna have
to wait for another soccer world
cup so that your fav can have
her little 15 minutes of shine??
Until then keep herbanating like
your favs career and wait for
another soccer world cup.
@Lover of music Why do u keep changing ur name w/ ur trolling a**. We all know u a Tamar stan.
hahaahahahahahahaha… PREDICTABLE… I knew that once she started flopping,she was going to cling to that past relationship to rescucitate her dieing career… It really sucks when you dont have talent to back-up your $hit…. bwahahhahhaahahaha…
It’s the same lack of self respect she has for herself that made her go back to the man that beat her. Smh
how you gon talk about women respecting themselves when you got Miss Feminicide Glamourized for MTV as your avi? sit down
You do realise,you gonna have to wait for another soccer world cup so that your fav can have her little 15 minutes of shine?? Until then keep herbanating like your favs career and wait for another soccer world cup.
Kiiiii
I don’t think she’s built for none of this, but then again it’s none of my business !!!!!!!!
She is serving in the pic above. The cover photo is horrible.
She slayed this magazine !!! Yes RihRih!! But where is the album like come on its October we atleast need a new single whatever happened to “Only If for a night” that song does something to me lol & “Nothing’s Promised” maybe she’s waiting till November but if that was the case she should’ve never released anything at the beginning of this year
The sad thing is people are ignorant enough to continue to fall for this BS.
I thought her fans said she doesn’t talk about him anymoreee. Anyways let’s talk about her saying she isn’t interested dating anyone yet they’re pics of her and Travis Scott kissing in Parisss….
Same ole tired trolls worried about every 1 & every thing but their own fav… can’t expect 2 much from these soulless f***.
But you be doing the same shitt.
LMFAO!!!! I always see you on a BEYONCE post doing the same thing. You sound really dumb right now…
She is not unlike any other abused woman. They usually always go back and become protective of their abuser. She was on OWN gushing about him and Oprah was looking at her in disgust a few years ago. This dude beat the living s*** out of her and pushed her out of a moving car in the middle of nowhere. Chris is mad talented, but he needs serious mental health treatment. That is why he is self-medicating with the weed and cocaine he can’t handle his crazy sober. So sad because before the scandal he was on track to be the next Usher and quite possibly MJ.
Keep recycling the old stunt….. pathetic. Time for a new fav.
Enough of this bulls*it already. The fact is….R8 is a mess and nothing could save this era.
LmaOoooo! ! The comments on this Rihanna post. Smh lol. I really wasn’t expecting this feedback but hell. You gotta call a spade a spade. I see no lies tho.
yawnnnnnnn.
when your new album fails to make a buzz..bring chris to the picture for petty publicity stunts.
As if CB album can go platinum that sh*t take a whole lot of years to go platinum. Rih don’t need CB for promo. Get that.
desperate w**** keep milking it ….sad to be her fan.
Rih was asked a question but she should’ve just pass that shi*t question. Y’all saying Rihanna using CB for promo as if CB can promote himself let alone Rih using him. At least when CB release X all he keeps doing in that interviews was talk about Rih. So Rihanna don’t need any cray cray CB for promo.
No talent goat….nothing else to talk other than her past relationship.
Funny but sad, eh? 😆
Doing her own promo it seems huh because nobody talks about her flopped new era. 😀
Selling her unhealthy relationship hoping people will buy her sob story. Please Riri, sit down and call Mariah in Vegas. Maybe she needs a backup singer.
She used this same stunt for RR and unapologetic, she is using it again for L8. Kiii, at this rate, L8 is gonna open with smaller numbers than Honeymoon. By the way, how is HoneyFLOP doing on the charts? Is it gold yet? plastic? Copper? LOL
R8——> ARTFLOP pt 2
🙁
this is the first time she has spoken about him in how long? Years… And the haters are quick to jump on her throat for it?. Using chris for promo????? What is she promoting????? How many times has he spoken about her this year alone?
“I care!!!”- says nobody ever.
“Chris Brown and Rihanna Joint Album Promo”
FIXED!!!!
Now did he beat her because she gave him stds or what? I’m still not sure…
She deserves to be punched……
Love yu Chris.
Whoevers hating on chris go choke on a d*** HATERS ????????
He should have hit her harder until she died. The world would b a better place…..
<3
pressed ass b******!!!! why is my fave not even making music but still winning and still relevant!! cause ya do such a good job and sucking her non existent d***.
shoe line, dior rep, my b**** has done it all and has platinum albums to add to her achievements as well as headlining rock in rio which had more viewers than the vma’s (nickis flopped ass calling out miley stunt did nothing for it!!)
face it ya mad that rihanna can do anything and she will make headlines the b**** can fart on a plane and the same b****** hatin in this post will be the same ones hatin on that post
stay mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m Team Breezy and Plays Tinashe ft.Chris Brown Player I love this song!
I wish this bish Pondeforehead will keep Chris name out of her mouth that sh.it is old move the f*** on!
The same old s*** !
And look st Chirs and look at her. One’s a flop and she’s an icon. Rihanna should had gave Kurroach a hint. Even she won’t eff with Chris anymore. He’s washed, this next album will do less than 80K.
WHO TF CARES! When will she and chris get the memo that we are on to their little game… The only time they mention or are seen with eachother is due to promoting a project…. That event with her getting socked in the face was the hugest thing that ever happened to them… But they keep beating a dead horse (Literally)!
Mad cause Mr. Ciara and Ms Wilson aren’t fooling anyone with their payed for tv dating?
Rihanna, why would you do this? You was doing the right thing so far: to never talk about Chris Brown again. What happened?
Girl you don’t see Madonna or Sarah J Parker running around talking about their failed power coupling. Let that sh/t go! Why don’t you give a chance to one of them decent dudes? Girl stawp it.
Now everyone understand why she did that two years ago and that’s good that she’s not friend with Cb at this point in her life because all he want is to get back with his other ex-gf karrueche tran & karrueche had moved on with her life career
