TV BIT: RIHANNA’S FULL 20/20 INTERVIEW W/ DIANE SAWYER

Not sure how I feel about this interview. I think she left some things out.

I am NO longer a Rihanna fan.

He’s stupid how u gonn aget a text from ur ex and then when rihanna naturally responds by questioning you get get upset she cant’ drop it and hit her?????? dont make sense! I love chris but even if she was provoking him by doing whatever he should have controlled his anger, he was in the wrong from the get go with the text anyhow!

yeah something about rihana is realy FAKE, i dont think she was telling the truth, mutha fuckas dont just start hitting u for nothing!!

she threw CB under the bus but i wish them both luck in their careers

I cant ride for her anymore….she just seemed shady or rehearsed.

@5 she did! I thought that was really uncalled for, he didnt do her like that!

Tonight Rihanna showed how nasty and vindictive she is. She contradicted herself so much it’s not even funny. One minute she said when he asked if she hates him she lied and said no later she said i dont hate him at all …she says im ashamed that i loved someone like him but then im not God idk if we will get back together or not . She was clearly trying to hurt him and it has caused me to look at her differently. Some of the things she said simply WERE NOT necessary. This was all to promote her CD because if she actually cared about the “young girls” she was fake crying about she would have been working on their behalf instead of showing her titties all over the country, clubbing and drinking. Give me a break. This girl is a phony and tonight everyone found out. Keep pressing Chris.

@BIBI you was never a Rihanna fan stop playing

Rihanna did extremely well in this interview. WAY BETTER than Chris Brown non intellectual ass. Chris did about 408147 interviews and didn’t say jack, Rihanna did one and didn’t sugarcoat anything. I think that shows who has something to hide and who doesn’t. I hope we can now move on with this since both parties have now spoken

GLAD SHE SPOKE OUT…DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY IT TOOK 9 MONTHS TO SAY SOMETHING…I WISH BOTH OF THEM WELL IN THEIR CAREERS.

I’M PROUD OF RIHANNA

this girl has no personality whatsoever .. my little brothers make more sense when speaking .. they coached her but not well enough .. if it weren’t for everyone in her business she’d be laying up with chris right now .. sooo many of the things she said was just like what? ru being serious?

for those who actually have sympathy for her and feel that this was sincere there is no way I could ever feel U..

the right thing to do wouldhave been: come out a long time ago.. IF U CARED SO MUCH about ‘YOUNG GIRLS GETTING KILLED” if U cared u would be visiting domestic programs and speaking with women.. did u? do u intend on? NO

she says she left chris because he was “annoying” not even bcus of the abusing

never did she says she hit chris.. you guys were both wrong.. own up to ur wrong doings. this interview was definitely for album sales and to intentionally hurt chris and knock him down.. he needs to move on and stop posting videos of them two.. its over..shes wack anyways. yea her stylist hooks her up and her makeup is cute but this girl has nothing more to offer..

they’ve created this “image” that she can’t even uphold

you’re sooo hard! ur so not! she’s a mess

I think we all are getting played by both sides. SOMETHING IS OFF.

l’m tired of hearing about this. There’s his side, her side, and THE TRUTH.
We’ll never get to it so let it go.

l don’t know why but l definitely got a good chuckle or two out of this interview. It just wasn’t genuine or a tad bit of emotion there. l see what use those acting classes have done her. Robyn Fenty…and Robin Givens, heh! )

GOOD DAY!…..NEXXXXXXXT!

word, #14.

we’re being played.

I’m sorry when your man gets a text message from some chick and he is lying dead to your face and trying to play you for a fool, I think her ass went off she leaving something out, because most females of that would of smacked a ninja REAL TALK. Interview was wack

Just like she said she hope he grows up .. fuck chris I am glad she did a candid interview all CB did in his whack interviews was say at the end of the day this and at the end of the day that. he beat her she told the world and that was that He even did it before this Attack He pushed her in to a wall she even said try 8 or 9 what do that mean??? Chris is a women beater And he need to get all the backlash he is getting I love rih

I could drive a damn truck through the holes in all the holes in her lil story! Girl so you sayin yo hotheaded ass didn’t put yo hands on him after reading that message? He just started viciously whoopin yo ass cause yo were asking too many questions? GIRL BYE! If you were gone set the record straight you should’ve done that. You could’ve kept this bullshit ass lie to yo damn self!

LIAR! (pretty much sums it up for me)

Diane did a horrible job.

Good luck to Rihanna and Chris.

concreteloop HAS OFFICIALLY GONE THE “IGNORANT” ROUTE WITH ITS COMMENTERS LOL

ANYONE WHO SEES THIS INTERVIEW AND SUPPORTS CHRIS OVER RIHANNA IS A BRAINDEAD WASTE OF SPACE.

SHE GOT HER ASS KICKED, AND YOU PEOPLE ARE BLAMING HER FOR TALKING ABOUT IT???

HOW ABOUT YOU BLAME THE PERSON WHO KICKED HER ASS FOR GIVING HER THIS UNFORTUNATE EVENT TO SPEAK ON…..

AND SHE NEVER HIT HIM FIRST, FOR ALL THE IGNORANT ASSES WHO SOMEHOW JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS BY SAYING SHE “MUST HAVE PROVOKED HIM”

RIHANNA I COMMEND YOU, YOUR A STRONG INTELLIGENT WOMAN

Whether Rihanna put her hand on Chris numerous times or not, that DOES NOT excuse the fact that her face was battered! Just from glancing at the picture, you can clearly see that CB repeatedly punched Rihanna in the face! Nothing should lead to that! It wasn’t like he hit her once and made a mistake. He repeatedly punched her in the face! He knew what he was doing. People are excusing CB’s abuse because they believe that she often times hit Chris Brown. Does CB have a picture hidden away that resembles Rihanna’s battered face as well?!?! I could care less about either one of these individuals but please don’t justify CB’s actions because it was not acceptable under any circumstance! The picture shows it all…

Also Rihanna was victim to Domestic Abuse so she isn’t “playing victim,” she is one! Chris Brown just needs to grow from this whole situation and stay true to himself. Understand what he did was wrong, learn, and progress. We are humans, and life has some excruciating twists and turns.

Overall the interview seemed genuine…
These are two very young people nonetheless. Let’s not forget that. They are humans as well with emotions. They make dumb decisions, they cry, they lash out, they do all of the things average people do; except they are subject to media and public opinions.

Her interview was 100x better than any chris brown interview. He’s a idiot for hitting her, what the hell does he expect???…did he really think he was going to get away wiht her NOT saying anything? You fans and chris brown are idiots. Stop hating. The black community (no, not all posters here are black but thsi is an “urban” site) needs to stop hating on it’s women, it’s PATHETIC. You are the only people hating on Rihanna more than anyone else.

Wow this was so fake! she was so BLANK it’s not even funny! She lied her ass off and then started contradicting herself! Like you claim you have no desire to be with him yet you don’t want to say you’ll won’t be with him in the future?!? Bullshit! She left chunks out of that fight…text message..arguement..then he just snaps? Nah doesn’t EVEN make sense.! Come again another day…NEXT!

I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE HER!

I
JUST
DONT

#24 – right because you saw the txt messages yourself and knew exactly what happened that evening. Stop reading chis loving gossip sites. Don’t be another in the black community defending “the man” again.

Im a fan of both but I think if u want to stand for those ladies who overcome violence, you tell exactly what happened in the relationship, specially knowin that she is known to have a TEMPER and publicly admitted throwin a glass of water on her brother’s head… There are always both sides and the best exemple, its funny but not that funny, the baby boy movie, the exact same fight, I’m sure she beat several times and he beat her too, they only thing different from the other times, they got caught publicly with this affair. Of course, he is a man so he endorses everythin, I understand that cuz a man and a female are different, the man generally will kick your ass, women are not strong enough. HE WAS WRONG, F HIM, OK we know that, but was expectin her since she said its because he cheated to tell exactly her involment in the story and give her own experience to those ladies she says she cares bout. You should give them advices with your own example what to do and not to do. Both ppl are involved. I will applaud her if she threw herself as well under the bus and have a real support for these ladies. It would have been even better if she made a statement nine months ago and startin supportin causes. Unfortunately, this is heartfelt but looks like an opportunity to have sales attention. Its been nine months. At this time, a ‘no comment’ would have been great and u support causes in your corner and explain your story to those causes, promotin your album the other corner. Doin it now is opportunist. But once again, I feel sorry for this situation. Like she said herself, this is humiliatin but I have to say, if she wasnt in the public eye, she knows damn well she would have been back to the beater, sex would be their solution to move on, trust, Im sure they had sex after the incident, but fortunately, with the pressure and stardom, she had to say F to love, to show that she is strong enough and to be an example, not really cuz her heart wanted it obviously to support any cause, no cuz her image needed to be upgraded in that destroyin afffair. So the conclusion is YAWN, ATTENTION H.O.E.S. to both.

youtube rihanna interviews…then watch this again..this chick is such an actress!!! so fake! it’s like a script she had to memorize..you could tell she was trying really hard not crack and stay in character! and all for what?? fame?? SMH!

Dead. So CB had the same blank & lifeless look in his eyes that she appears to have ALL the time?
[..the lce Princess still has herpes, CL...ya can't ban the snowman]

AN ITZ FUNNY CUZ AT THE END OF THE DAI BOTH R GETTIN PAID MILLIONZ TU TELL YU GUYZ BULLSHYT SO I GIV BOTH OF EM 2 THUMBS UP LHH

Chris Brown, I would never look at you the same cuz he punched her numerous times while she was Im sure doin the same. She only stands there cuz of the public perception. She is not that smart cuz she tells us she left cuz of what ppl would think basically, not cuz she thought about other females lives. They still love each other but Im sick and tired of both. No excuse for him hittin her repeatitively knowin that his own mom was victim was abuse, the one thing u would never do to another woman is giove the smae pain to another woman specially your girl, beatin that so bad she was in blood! No excuse for her beatin him, not leavinhim when the flammes were there and only when the fire was burnin, waitin nine months when album is about to drop to talk about it. I will give Bey’s example, I cant stand her buther album was comin too, everytime they asked her about the weddin she didnt say sh!t, she only confirmed it happened and it was simple and beautiful, somethin we already knew. Stay private til the end.

I agree with #21 (Bright Bulb). I hope all the people with their ignorant comments NEVER find themselves or someone they know in that position. Because if it was your momma, sister, daughter, aunt, it wouldnt matter how hot headed or smart mouth they were. You would be ready to woop his ass. So stop making excuses cause he famous

Personally I’m not a fan of Rihanna’s music, and no one except for Chris Brown and Rihanna knows what truly happened in the car that night. However, there is one thing that is fact; Rihanna was brutally beaten by Chris Brown, there are pictures to prove it. Let’s pretend that they were two ordinary people, and even if she did sometime to provoke him, NO ONE, ever ever EVVVER deserves to be beat in that manner. It frightens me that many of you are making excuses for Chris’s behavior and looking for fault in Rihanna. Domestic abuse is a very serious matter, and I pray that if any of you ever find yourself in the same situation, you will have the sense to get out before it’s too late. I think that this is such a huge problem in the black community, we often sweep blatant abuse under the rug. Often women will try to change themselves as a way to “fix” the problem and make their man happy, when it’s really the man with the problem. We’ve become complacent with abusive relationships and think that it’s normal…WELL ITS NOT!!!!

@26 – ANYONE person can be pushed to a point of no return! What he did was dead wrong but unless Chris has some mental illness (last time i checked he doesn’t) then there is NO way he just decided to BEAT her ass because she “wouldn’t drop it” something had to have been said or done to wake something up inside of him and just SNAP and she is acknowledging that at all! Which is BS and she knows it. All couples fight which is natural and I guarantee this wasn’t there first “verbal” agruement so why not hit her all those other times?…why this time?..what was so different about this fight than there others?…what happend for him to do that?! Something!

You mofo’s are ignorant if you blame her! I wish a man would bash your head against the dashboard and see how you feel. who cares if she left something out, nothing warrants his action of beating her ass like that. And you women should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously this is why domestic violence is so widespread today!

booooohhhhhhhhhh, rihannna. u just doin it for record sales!!!!!! i hope 2 God u flop, i really do

Sooooooo who’s with me when I say this interview was wiggity wiggity wack?! The interview was EXACTLY what was in the police report and blog sites. We didn’t learn anything new at all. She just confirmed what the blogs posted (it was over a text, someone called the cops, and she went back to him) besides the part about her mom being abused and really made Chris look even worse than before.

LMAO at Chris Browns groupies. Both Rihanna and Chris Brown have said she never hit him, while all of you steady saying she did. WERE YOU IN THE CAR THAT NIGHT? IF SO YOU SHOULD HAVE VIDEO TAPED IT. I don’t think she’s doing this for publicity I think she’s doing it because she has to get rid of the elephant in the room. It takes time to heal, what you expect her to do get beat and talk about it the next day, there’s to much emotion for all that.

#14 and 17, I agree completely. This chic walking around in black and taking pics, but she show up for this interview with her “innocent” look..yeah ok. I do give her props for at least knowing how to speak compared to boom-boom ass Chris. Rihanna know she no angel either, yet she didnt own up to jack.

Chris Brown is a MONSTER!

LOVE RHIANNA!!

All for album sales.

@34 I think it’s clear that Chris Brown has some sort of mental issue. And the very scary thing is that he didn’t just hit her once accidentally and then come to his senses, HE WENT IN and HE WENT HARD! I feel like if she hadn’t gotten away there is a good chance that he might have killed her or done severe damage. This goes to show that he’s probably not mentally all there and there’s a good chance that he’ll do it again.

To all of you who are saying guys don’t just hit girls for nothing. Pick up a book, read an article, ask a friend, EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Abusers don’t always need a legitimate (if you can call it that) reason to do the abusing even to the extent of Chris Brown’s actions! As a survivor of domestic violence, as a woman who had also witnessed this in her home growing up as a child, and as an educate human being I know this.

Please please please educate yourself before you go and make silly comments like that. I personally do not think Rihanna is lying. Why are we trying so hard to make this young woman look so terrible? Seem so desperate to cover Chris Brown or make him look better. THINK PEOPLE. THINK.

I am just going to pray for both Chris and Rihanna both of them need some sort of counseling. I know Chris is getting some I hope Rihanna is too. I will continue to support her and I will buy Chris’s CD. I will say that from now I only look at entertainers as that nothing more they are people just like us and I have a feeling if we really knew them they would not be likable. I am speaking of anyone all they do is project an image even if they do good deeds there is a reason for that so called charity work.

rihanna and chris probably somewhere making love. The damn judge said they couldnt be around eachother. im pretty sure if they could they would. I know they still talk somehow. i dont respect a man who hits women, i do respect a man who admits his wrong doings, change, and never do it again. I honestly dont think he got mad cuz she wouldnt drop the conversation. i’ve never seen such a thing. usually when a man gets caught cheating, he tries to sweet talk his way out of the situation, not beat his way. I know damn well he wasnt trippin on ri ri for some other girl. i just wish this would have never happen. i feel bad for the both of them. she’ll be known for getting abused and he will be known for abusing women. Both had troubled childhoods, they both young, dont judge them.

Also, I just watched the MTV interview with Chris Brown and Sway. He needs a better publicist because his interviews are dreadful! Boy stop being illiterate, form a decent sentence, and speak the truth! It is like he’s scared to speak on subject that his fans, haters, etc know about. If he would just be real about the whole situation, then he would come across as a man that dealt with anger in the wrong way rather than a little boy who doesn’t seem to understand the severity of his actions. Someone please help this boy! The entire 20 minute interview is him speaking the exact two empty sentences and wording them differently throughout.

I have friends in these situations and let’s just say it is deep and unless you experience something so traumatic for yourself or someone close to you has, you will not understand.

……………………….she looked dead angry like a woman scorned…………….lol

I noticed in the preview, Diane asked Rihanna if Chris ever hit her before…..Rihanna’s answer to that question was somehow left out. I think the interview was tweaked to make Chris Brown look bad. Rihanna gave the half-truth, but anyway I’m glad she came out and spoke. I wish Chris Brown the best. I won’t take sides because there are 3 sides to this story—->Chris’s version, Rihanna’s verison, and the REAL version

Considering they both grew up in abusive homes…I can see them both having a temper problem. I will prayed them though

Its been nine months and the truth is still untold, why do they do interviews anyway? Like really, no one explained from the begininn to the end, so what is the daamn point?

You Black Hoes are STUPID!!!!! lol yall are damn dummies!!! Taking up for the women beater lol!!!

I’m soo glad I’m not a women!!! I’ll keep my d!ck and balls!!! Lol yall are being bitches and picking this poor girl bones clean. SMDH!!!

Concreetloop commenters are getting worse the MTO commenters!!! Yall go hard!

Something was missing from that damn interview,I have yet to figure out what it is(nor will I try)but something was missing.Also,it’s obvious she she would have stayed if her fan hadn’t disapproved.She left to please her fans.

what will jesus do,let this shit rest. You guys have been waiting to hear her story just to call her fake. You can’t fake an ass kicking, idiots!!!!!!!

@atldiva when a man is abusive, he’s not going to sweet talk you. he hits you first THEN asks for forgiveness and sweet talks you. and for anyone who says “he’s not going to hit her for no reason” that’s also not true. women can get beaten just for looking at their abusive spouses in the wrong way.

i still don’t find her brave for leaving him b/c there was nothing holding her back. there are women who have to stay in these relationships for the sake of their children or for fear of being killed. they would be brave to me if they left but she’s a superstar with tons of money and a lot of people around her, trying to help her succeed. she didn’t need him and could’ve found someone else to love. i do think it’s good that she got down to business in the interview. yes, this is a part of her album promotion but it doesn’t change the fact that she was as candid as she could be. i also want to send out an “lol” to her stans that kept denying that she went back to him after the incident. she WAS at diddy’s mansion and she admitted it. it’s funny how the “haters” can see through things better than the stans can. that’s why when i say her image is fake (as proven by her relationship to cb- a bad bish wouldn’t behave the way she did) and they get upset about it, i can only laugh

The hatred people got for this girl is really clouding logic. I’d swear ya’ll was riding in the car n saw the whole incident go down. Unless chris contradicts her part of what transpired then its more than likely true. One thing is for certain that he beat her a**. N if his face ain’t come out lookin like hers then nothin she did warranted that beating. And its disgusted that people still are placing blame on her even after that pic of chris’s work. And why should the “VICTIM” care if she’s tarnishing chris’ career with that interview, HE BEAT HER. The mindset of the people who posted those ignorant comments is part of the reason to why the human race is on a downward slope. And maybe just maybe the reason she choose to speak now could have something to do with the mass interviews she has to do to promote her cd n thought it would be smart to get this big one out the way so she doesnt have to speak anymore. Hopefully they both utilize this situation n get better as humans first

@r 39You are suppose to dress appropriately for an interview!!! It’s not about innocent its more like an job interview. It part of her job to dress for any occasion that arises. Yes she still loves him, anyone who experience true love knows you can’t just shut it off @38 your definitely right she has to get rid of the elephant in the room, it must be discuss. Get it out the way for she can continue to work.

None of you know the truth and none of you ever will. All you can do is speculate and pass judgement…….I don’t care if she did hit him or provoked him….What we do know is that HE WHOOPED HER ASS LIKE SHE STOLE SOMETHING FROM HIM! AS IF SHE WAS A DUDE FROM THE STREET! We all saw the pictures there is the damn proof, that is fact and yet you all try conjure up reasons to find holes in her story and in some twisted little way make her the aggressor PLEASE! Couples argue all the time but the moment one party WHOOPS the ass of the other party/significant other without any remorse on the physical damage they are doing to they’re so called lover is inexcusable. I kills me that people are trying to make CB the victim here. We all saw him after the incident this dude aint have one scratch on him. 3 weeks later he was in MIA jet skiing with the biggest damn grin as if nothing even happen and you telling me he the victim. PEOPLE WAKE UP!

I agree @R
I guess the truth of the matter is, we don’t want Chris to go out like that. I’m not mad at Rihanna at all. I still believe the interview was twisted in a way to make Chris look bad, but she was being carefully honest (that’s how public relations work). She doesn’t really need to reveal the dirt of the matter, she already went through so much

#58 positive chick

I agree I think it may have been geared to make him look bad and don’t get me wrong I think this interview has dimmed the light on his chances of success but honestly there is no interview that he or she can do that can top his own contribution to him making his self look bad. I like Chris I don’t want him to go out like that either but with actions there are consequences and him going out like that (no pun intended) might just be his consequence.

When yo mess up gotta face the music and he aint mess up he FCUKED UP. He is a very talented young man who effed up honestly I want him to get pass this and continue to make good music. I love the transform you song and video its hot stuff.

Apart of me feels like 9 months later seems a little soon for him to be talking bout i can transform you and pop lock and dropping and partying all over the place, it makes his public apologies seem false and non sincere.

They both should seek help… for a long while. It seems like one has anger issues(Chris) and the other is SEVERELY OBSESSIVE(rihanna).

Yeah she threw Chris under the bus (and left out some pieces) and it makes him “look bad” because there’s no other way for the public to receive him other than “the bad guy” right now because afterall, she was the one with the swollen face and bruises, not him. sorry Chris fans, no matter how much you say she provoked him, he shouldn’t have taken it that far. He should’ve just ended the relationship way before.
