TV BIT: RIHANNA SAYS “EFF LOVE” ON GMA, 20/20 INTERVIEW AIRS ON FRIDAY
Thursday, November 5, 2009
In a 5 minute clip on Thursday morning, pop star Rihanna broke her silence about the night her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown attacked her (alternative video here). The singer spoke candidly with reporter Diane Sawyer and said she was “embarrassed and ashamed” that’s why she didn’t speak out until now.
On being embarrased and ashamed:
“That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with. So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”On going back to Brown after the incident:
“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” she said. “But again … I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.It’s completely normal to go back. It’s not right. I learned the hard way, but again, this is what I want people to know,” she said. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for going back.
On her influence on young girls:
“Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls?” she said. “These are young girls and I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”On being lonely & losing privacy:
“One of the most lonely times I’ve been was in the past few months because nobody understands what it’s like,” she said. “There are a lot of women who’ve experienced what I did, but not in the public. So it made it really difficult. I just felt like, ‘Oh my God, here it goes, my little bit of privacy.’”
The full interview will air on 20/20 on Friday night (November 6th).

Same shit every f*cking post, uggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Anyone blaming abuse on the victim is a complete asshole. I don’t give a shit if or how she provoked him, he should not have beat her down. Period, the end. There are no excuses. Even if she was assaulting him he could have just restrained her, but attacking her was completely uncalled for.
Damn, blame the f*cking rape victim up in this bitch too huh?
Whatever, the timing does have a stench of publicity to it, but regardless she’s sending out a much needed positive message that just might help somebody. Did she correct Diane about the statistics?! She was debriefed before the interview, cute lol.

I don’t think she is completely over him, I think she was forced to get over him. She had a long time to think about what she was going to say. A lot of people probably spoke to her so now she is saying what the public wants to hear. She has to look like a strong women, if Chris didn’t get caught that night, she would probably still be with him. Remember Halle Barry, she was with David Justice for so many years before she left him…. but look at her now, she’s on top and where is David Justice

I have so much respect for Rihanna. I, myself in a somewhat abusive relationship, watching this video brought me to tears. I feel her pain. I am in love, and that is why I continue to stay. Honestly, I am losing more and more respect for Chris. Him growing up in a home where his mother was abused, you would have never thought he would lay a hand on his girlfriend. And look where he is now.

RED, most of the time male abusers have grown up where the father was abusive to the mother. The cycle of abuse repeats itself more often than not.

I’m so HAPPY she did this. And she was honest about it unlike Chris who barely answered any of Larry King’s questions.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her speaking out and promoting her album at the same time. After all, her music was probably her therapy. If anything, I was curious to know how she would change musically after this ordeal.

@216 I CAN’T.
Why are people NOT talking about things you don’t know for fact???? It’s not relevant!
Rihanna is speaking on one issue. Chris Brown’s violent attack against her.
You know the Criminal Assault?? That is all she needs to speak on and she did such a GREAT JOB This AM.
She is so brave. And there was real emotion there. Women can find themselves in these types of situations and especially when you’re young , it can really KILL you because you don’t have a point of reference.
Rihanna I’m so proud of you thinking about other young females who look up to you and saw this situation go down. You did all the right things!
I’m so supportive of the things she said. “F-LOVE”. Look at these situations from the 3rd person.
Well said.
And it’s her right to speak when she was ready to speak.
And now Chris is running to MTV to tell more lies and to help his poor ticket sales. What a CREEP!!!
But Chris will be on MTV Friday Night with Sway.
Chris just get help!
You are a sick person.

@206 I know you are not saying rihanna has a speaking disability because she has an accent. Since when is a person supposed to be ashamed of sounding like where they are from. SMH at the ignorant comments people let fly out of their mouths. Every region of the world has an accent, and rihanna’s happen to be caribbean. There is no disability in that hon.

#77 That situation is beyond tragic. Really, absolutely disgusting that our justice system is CONSTANTLY freeing sex offenders that later turn in to convicted sex offender raped/tortured and murder this some number of kids and women. Steal a gawd damn candy bar and get more time in jail then a sex offender..wtf is that about, Really?! I have some theories, but it all boils down to the corruption and disgust of it all.
Women are the targets for far too many horrible horrible crimes.

I refuse to read any previous comments because anybody criticizing her has some serious issues. But that is ok because the human race is choke full of folks with issues. My concern here is Chris and Rihanna. For Chris, to take responsibility and seek the therapy that he NEEDS. And for Rihanna to heal. And for them to grow.
I have never been a great music fan of Rihanna but I have become a huge fan of Rihanna the person. I am a 25 years old and it is shocking to think that she is only 21. To have to deal with what is a traumatic experience .. and then in the PUBLIC EYE! Good ness.. I would not wish that on my worst enemy.
To hell with the music or public images. She is a strong WOMAN. Not a girl, but a woman to be candid about such a thing, and to not only speak out for herself but to other young men and women in the same position.
There is no SCHEDULE for one someone should speak. It is up to them and their right. Many men and women, including famous ones (Oprah, Halle, Tina, T. Perry, etc) have been abused and it takes a lot to speak about it. It can take years to reveal it or immediately. What is important is that one is true to themselves and turn to God for comfort (this applies to Chris Brown, too).
God bless the both of them.
Stop the violence

Also, this post shows why America has such a high level of domestic violence. I studied domestic violence in law school. Societies that have low levels have shown to have swift condemnation of the act and support is given to the abuser (criminal conviction, condemnation and/or therapy) and to the victim. That is the only way to deal with DV. It must be exposed in order to stop it. So those involved can get the help they need psychologically. Otherwise, what is allowed to breed in silence and in the dark continues to grow.
Peace!

On the Up and Up…Rihanna needs to stop. Domestic abuse should not be tolerated by anyone, male or female. When the issue that brought all this attention first came out, people close to Rihanna were also stating that with Rihanna growing up with her brothers, she was more of a Tom Boy, and she would engage in fights with her brothers, as well as boys. I think that she also had some issues in her that needed to be addressed. By no means I am saying that Chris was or is innocent, but I think they both should have received Counseling. Chris got caught this time, however I would be willing to bet you that she has physically abused him as well in the past. Sad to say, but I think it was just apart of their relationship. Both are young…and most of our young people don’t have any psoitive guidence in their lives..no matter how much money they may have, or status they may have in our society. I think for the most part, Rihanna is now saying the things that she said in this interview due to her endorsements. I don’t like what she is doing at this point. I think that if both of them would have made it known that they both contributed to the Abuse in their relationship, they could have both been spokepersons for Teenagers Against Abuse, and etc. To have young people, male and female talk about this would have been more effective that what she is doing now. She loves Chris, and if it was not for the Media being on her left and right, she would be with him now. (well they may be meeting up secretly). Chris messed up, and I think he actually had a wake up call, and has learned that this is not what a man is to be about.
Again, I am a strong believer of Physical nor Mental Abuse should be tolerated, however they both were contributors to this type of behavior.

I am so sick of this chick! Truly I believe she is saying something now b/c the both of them have albums coming out. Don’t get me wrong, I do not approve of violence against women but I do know quite a few women that put their hands on a man repeatedly only to play victim. Seriously if she were concerned about informing the public she should have been said something and to her loser friend Jay Z, he put his hands on a woman and walks aorund like he is a saint. Both of them suck!!!!

I’m happy she’s speaking up about it now my question is what else will she do about it? There’s a lot of young girls out there going through the same thing she’s been through & she needs to be reaching out to them. She needed her time to 1st realize she was in a bad situation, correct it & heal before she could speak to the media. Personally I’ve never been in a physical abuse relationship, but I’ve experienced mental abuse & its not easy to just walk away from especially when you’re young & think you’re in love. So we need to stop coming down on her for being silent & going back to Chris & for his mistakes as well. They’re both still young & have a lot to learn. We are always coming down on our young people instead of helping to get them in the right direction. I hope both have seeked help & wish them both continued success.

Platinum is a hard status to achieve and it is only going to get worse…
And Rhi team ain’t got to put Chris down, he was already down when the incident happened and the picture was exposed….

at first, i didn’t know how genuine rihanna would be. i mean, yes, her album is dropping or what not. it really seemed like it was a convenient way to draw attention to her album and increase her sales. BUT, after watching this 5 minute clip, i’m not so skeptical anymore. seven months ago, i emerged from a physically and emotionally abusive relationship, and rihanna’s words could not ring truer. the denial, the going back, the guilt, the wanting to hide the abuse…. all were realities in my life, and i can tell were realities in hers. so, on this, ill give her the benefit of the doubt. let her discuss this incident, and move on. much love to you rihanna. i’m glad you (and i) made it out alive.

People trying to find an excuse to justify the abuse should take some time and think about their life. I don’t even care for Rihanna but all these ridiculous excuses for why it’s okay to put your hand on someone you claim to love is stupid and sounds like folks with low self-esteem. I hope a DM victim does not have any of you as friends. Just cause you are a violent person yourself doesn’t mean you should project that on other females and just cause CB sung one of your favorite songs doesn’t mean you should support and defend what he did by trying to split the blame between the perpetrator and the victim. that’s just low. It is an embarrasing thing to have to deal with and having to bargain with your emotion is no fun trip either.
I hope rihanna gets some help and learns to surroound herself with people who have some common sense. Idiots trying to help you to get back with your abuser are not your friends. I hope CB gets some counseling too and makes some real effort to change.

I love the fact that she spoke her side of the story and gave us a raw uncut side…
HOWEVER … this is hollywood we’re talking about …she’s not dressed in her typical all black make-up with red lips and black clothes from head to toe…so she can’t possibly expect to use this as publicity for her RATED R album ..smh .. both her and chris will continue to have successful careers and they both learned from the situation so i doubt chris will feel any kinda way about it he loves and he knows he messed up big time but i think his love for her is so strong that he probably is proud that she came out thats if he really changed otherwise this is just great entertainment and their music is far better entertaining than this crap…

All this crap I here about a man should never hit a women needs to stop. Everytime I see something about this situation, it reminds me of what happened to my baby brother(a.k.a. my heart and soul. I love him to death).He had brought a toy to school with him a week ago. And this girl at the school that I found out had been picking on him ever since he started going there, told him to give it up, because she wanted it. My brothers teacher said that when my brother said no to her, she picked up one of the textbooks, and hit him across the face with it. Thats when the teacher ran over, and helped him up. Before she knew it, she said my brother slapped her across the face, then afterwards they were both sent to the office.
My point is that the reason why she was picking on him, because he was letting her. I guess when she hit with that book, that was his breaking point. They have already found out shes been doing, but they want to suspend him. Are you freaking serious? Please believe when I saw that big ass mark, on the side of his face I went off. I knew I was making a scene, but I didn’t care. You don’t put your hands on anyone. So if Rihanna hit Chris first, then she was just as wrong as he was. Stop blaming him and blame them!!! They’re both wrong.
As far as the interview, I’m not to sure about. I mean album coming out soon? Just seems kind of fishy to me.

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 definately handeld this better than I thought. Seemingly nice girl, and a way better actress than Beyonce… directors if you don’t want your box office movies to turned into nothing but dvd rental material, please hire Rhianna for any role planned for that hungry to be seen Beyonce.
Good… well done! but she did not fool me not one bit. Domestic abuse is such a serious topic, I am more than flabergasted at how it is being reduced to nothingness in this BS. It’s traumatising how everyone even respected individuals have gathered in unison over a bold face lie, and media stunt knowing the purpose of it all.
It actually scares me, to think about what powers Rhianna possesses inorder to carry such a story, what is her significance, so her albums have not done well in the past? she remixes/ re-releases anything x10. Take a topic of tremendous significance in all walks of life and cultures and degrade it with a lie, just to force feed one woman down are throats. You guys we deserve better than this.

Some of yall are just plain stupid!!! People need to realize that Rihanna is a like 21 yrs old basically a teenager she isn’t a mature woman who’s been through it and can proudly speak out. Even if she took 2 years off, then came back to release a album the first thing everyone is going to ask was what happen that February . She can’t avoid it forever so to say she’s speaking out to promote her album is just plain ridiculous. I bet if Chris did a VH1 reality show looking for love all yall go running to audition. You CB stans need a serious reality check!!!

As a former POLICE OFFICER and as WOMAN I have seen it all before and for a man to bit a woman she had to have been on him in some sort of way pulling, hitting, something. Furthermore I know when a woman has something to say to her man she wants that thing to be heard right then and there not later. I know what he did was wrong and people did to realize what she did was wrong as well. What reason would he just stop his vehicle start hitting and bittiing her it doesn’t make any sense. Now if she was trying to take the keys out of the ignition fueling him even more and hitting him while he was driving then I can see where he would bit her.
Nevertheless she is SO FAKE her words were not sincere. She appears to be so COACHED in what she’s saying. I feel like to make a stance on domestic violence you do not have to demolish CB. I feel like the interview is going to be a people should hate CB party and feel sorry for me. This whole thing is a sham and she should be ashamed of her evil self. I even read where she said she got closer to GOD through all of this……what GOD because the GOD I know doesn’t have me dressed in all black and looking like the devils mistress…………holla at ya girl

First, let me say to all women who are “TRULY” in abusive situations, I commend you all for having the courage to finally leave. However, in saying that, I know for a fact that the abuse went both ways. I can name a couple of hotels in NYC that they stayed in and have captured abuse to him by her. Someone should leak those tapes or the media should take the time to probably interview some of the staff and they will tell you how she use to smack him up or curse him out in the lobby. I WITNESSED IT!!!! Just like many people on this post criticized Whitney for not being honest, she should be 100% honest and tell the truth and stop making it seem like the abuse was all him. Granted he shouldn’t have beat her down like that, but doesn’t that rule apply to her too?
In my opinion, he seemed more honest and less rehearsed when he talked about it back in the summer. His emotions were more real and I applaud him for keeping it private. He may not have let the public know any of the details that occured, but neither did she. I wanted to know who made the first swing? Who was the aggressor in the beginning?
Another thing to think about: His singles are getting more airplay. Could it be jealousy or is she scared he may sell more than her?

@ LOVE U BEYONE
It would be a BEYONCE Stan writing something DUMB!
First off. Both of then are not WRONG. One of them used Violence to a level it was CRIMINAL. We are not talking are little children on the playground. What Chris did was a felonious attack. He beat her, bit her, tried to push her from a moving car and then said he wanted to KILL her. This is what Chris did. Chris comes from an ABUSIVE family what don’t you IDIOTS understand.
Then you have the NERVE to keep saying and writing.
“So if Rihanna hit Chris first, then she was just as wrong as he was.”
This NEVER HAPPENED!
And even if she slapped Chris across the face that does not then give him right to unleash the level of violence he did against Rihanna.
You people need to stop listening to Bey and open a book. This was a teachable moment from Rihanna to her fans that you don’t have to mistake Violence for LOVE.
“F-LOVE” if it comes in the form of a FIST.

I’m fed up of Chris Brown fans.

Who cares when she speaks? Obviously CB fans! Is it really hard to understand Chris Brown committed a serious crime against this girl?
My only criticism is her saying she doesn’t want her actions to cause young women to go back to a situation that could kill them but then releases Russian Roulette.

Chris you try to save her. Look what she is doing to you.
What did i tell you!!!!
Why is she doing this now???? Is it because her new album coming out?
Please!!!!!!!!!! How long it taken her to get this out now?? When was the fight?
How long did it take her to say this???
Chris quit singing songs about her. Let her go. Cause she let you go.
Sometimes God has a reason for things, To move people out your life and to move you in a better direction for both of you.
Wake Up Chris!!!!!!
I love Chris to help him see this will stun him. He was really protecting her. But she showed him that she didn’t need his protection.
Chris move on my man. Cause she is going to rip you apart if you keep on protecting her. When you are trying to build her up and protect her she seems like she is hating it.
If this don’t open your eyes Chris, i don’t know.
To Chris move on………………..To Rhianna …….. sweetie i hope you are not doing this for your PR but what you want to do. I still don’t trust her. But Rhianna
I am not hating i just don’t trust you that much. If she was seeking help from a counseling then i would believe her. But i can’t… am sorry you all i can’t believe her.
Something is inside me can’t trust her. I have to go with my gut feeling.

My brothers and sisters we should not condone, excuse, or deny when abuse occurs. Let us not shift responsibly onto the victim. I praise Rihanna for speaking out against domestic abuse and I also congratulate Chris for seeking help. Instead of criticizing and trying to find fault in these individuals let us offer them support so they can begin to heal. Domestic violence and abuse can happen to anyone!

@ NELLY GIRL
TAKE YOUR MEDS!
Chris can’t stop talking about Rihanna or trying to save his shattered image.
Chris will continue to sing about Rihanna because she was the best thing he LOST.
Chris can really forget it. He’s DONE! The American Public has moved on and they support Rihanna!
FYI: MTV is not a Wide as GMA. Sorry to tell you that. Rihanna is also doing 20/20. You’re DONE!
Chris you need to get help and you need to stop trying to sell FAKE images.
You are a THUG and a Felon.
“F-LOVE”
LMAO
I love you Rihanna!

chris brown said he didn’t want to say too much out of respect for her; kinda coincides with her saying how embarassed she was when that pic came out…her bruises, scars, etc are hers to tell the story of not anyone elses…just like if a girl gets cheated on, it’s embarassing, she may not want to tell anyone and it is her story to tell.
i found that he tried to respect her privacy commendable…ironic, but commendable. if she wanted to comment on it and go into detail, that was her choice. media would have went in on him if he had gave up that info so he was in a catch 22 anyway.
side note - interview won’t get a pity sale out of me; i’ve never really been that much of a fan - just here and there songs (i.e, “SOS” is still my jam). BUT, i am a fan of his music so when i hear more leaks, I will determine whether i buy his or not. my decision is based on preference of music - not supporting a victim, or an abuser, or a black man/woman, or pity, or spite, or - it is independent of their personal lives.

This is a PUBLICITY STUNT and the fact that she’s using such a serious issue such as domestic violence only to boost her own album sales makes me sick. I can’t stand this chick, and something about her eyes looked evil and insincere to me. I don’t feel one ounce of pity for her, she’s going for the sympathy vote, on such a serious matter because she has a album coming out. If she’s so concerned about her young fans what was RR about? And the wait is over? where she’s practically masturbating in a CHURCH.
I’m against domestic violence i don’t agree with men putting there hands on women or vice versa, the fact that she’s using DV to sell records says alot about her character. I dislike her even more after seeing that interview, i see what she’s about and i see what she’s doing. I wont be watching part 2. People need to wake-up!!!!!

—–266. TINY, If Chris is coming on MTV to get his 2 cents in, he should consider
—–the long-term effects of his actions. On Larry King, he took the high road and he
—–can take the higher road by not fighting back. The damage is done, Chris. You
—–have nothing else to prove. What you did to her speaks louder than your
—–words could ever say. Rihanna gave a public relations interview. She hasn’t
—–villianized you. Be a gentleman. Take one for the team. Don’t retaliate! You can
—–re-create yourself anyway you want, but not in the media like a drama king. Let
—–Rihanna have the last words as long as she’s not telling lies. Chris, your career
—–will be just fine, but thanks to you, more girls will hopefully get out of abusive
—–relationships. Sit up straight and smile. Fear not!

BTW it’s quiet obvious the bruises on her forehead were doctored to look just like devil horns… I mean what did he karati chop her on the “identical” spot of both sides of her forehead? get real…
how did the all knowing media manage to miss that he assualted her in the past?
those two were one step from buying a blow up bed for side walk paps, there was this period that all we ever saw was those two all over the place day after day… eating,shopping,swimming,
That hole relationship was staged, this was planned from day one. music lovers are fickle and hard bunch to please, add to that she’s a foreigner, they knew it would take a while for people to warm up to her ( that is soon to change believe me)soon u stans will have no choice who the hell u want to listen to. hahaha
anyway they built this storyline and everyone is glued like it’s a frikkin soap opera.
Rhianna’s real job- her real 9-5 is as a prostitute/sex slave to the elite.I mean can’t anyone remember all the rumoured affairs she had during their relationship? she was on Kanyes lap, kissing everyone in clubs,making out with him, it was everywhere. is that how someone in a committed relationship behaves? while making her rounds, someone loaded with all that sexual perversion and demonic energy, she is the best target to use to bring all u stans down. loaded with demons looking for open parties, she is in the best place to take yall down under with her. unlike cassie who finally took her seat, they need rhi, like they need brit, it is a long process programming these ppl, the world is in it’s final stages, the devil is running out of time, they can’t wait to get em when their young like Bey, the jackson’s. just about all singers…. she has a job to do, and they’re gonna make her do it, she signed that contract… if she fails, they will kill her, pls pray for these people, it is very very traggic. very traggic, it’s sad her parents are far away, what kind of good advice/council can she get from money hungry jew z. that is why u see big names symphathising with her, they are peers at higher levels, behind the scenes it’s serious yall!

@ 267 MEL i agree with you.. And IMO it’s a jealousy thing on her part, he’s doing well in his career and she can’t handle it, she’s a bitter bish, people are too busy looking at her speaking out against DV, and taking in the bull she’s feeding the public. I’m more about her intent. And her intent is not good. She’s out to boost her album sales and end chris career. I’m done!!!!

First off! Rihanna said in her interview that after this happened she wanted to go back with Chris. She said it is because of her fans that she was able to look at the relationship from the 3rd person and see that returning to an Abuser even if you LOVE then is not the right thing to do. She said she was not perfect. FYI ( As Rihanna pointed out) 9 out of 10 women in abusive relationship return to the men who abuse them. Because they confuse love for being passive with Violence and allowing the men to abuse and hit you. As you will hear tomorrow. Rihanna was not hit by Chris just this one time. He was abusive many other times.
And sorry Hon But Chris is OVER. It’s funny Chris has a record coming out as well and he pushed the date up because his sales are falling! He can even fill the venue’s for his Fan Appreciation Tours LMAO
And this was in the Daily News Today
About Chris’s poor Concert Sales….
“This is definitely not the outcome [Chris' label] Jive Records hoped for,” says an industry exec, adding that the poor ticket sales are surely a result of Brown’s now-infamous altercation with Rihanna in February. “Chris lost a lot of fans after he assaulted Rihanna. And after that whole scandal, he’s not exactly kid-friendly. What parent would buy their children tickets to his concert?”
Sweetie…he is DONE. Rihanna will be on GMA tomorrow as well as 20/20.
While Chris runs to MTV with his hat on looking like a Thug.
Sorry Chris is OVA! We don’t like Women Beaters in America. If he was sorry (and smart) he would fall back for a year and learn from his mistake. Then people would accept him more. But Chris wants people to forget so he can sell Music.
SORRY Chrissy not going to happen!
