Rihanna Breaks Silence on Chris Brown Abuse

Rihanna is ready to talk about the violent night with Chris Brown that left her bloodied and bruised -- and left him in an orange jumpsuit.

rihanna breaks silence chris brown

"This happened to me... It can happen to anyone," Rihanna, 21, tells Diane Sawyer in an interview to air on "Good Morning America" and "20/20." Chris apologized after details of the attack surfaced -- and said he "couldn't believe" he'd abused his girlfriend.

In an excerpt from the sit-down, Rihanna reveals that the situation with Chris, 20, was difficult because the R&B star "was definitely my first big love."

Rihanna recently dropped her first single "Russian Roulette" from her album, Rated R, out November 23.

Rihanna's full interview with Sawyer airs Thursday on "Good Morning America" and Friday on "20/20."

ME AGAIN, SOCIETY SEEM TO COME DOWN VERY HARD ON BLACK PEOPLE WHO MESS UP AND THEY WANT TO RUIN THESE PEOPLES LIVE AND TAKE AWAY THEY LIVELY HOOD.

THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY TUGS BUT WHEN A BROTHER MAKE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF ,SOON AS HE SLIPS UP, THEY WANT TO THROW THEM TO THE WOLVES. MICHEAL VIC,THAT GUY WITH THE DOG AND THE ONE THAT SHOT HIMSELF IN THE FOOT AT THE NIGHT CLUB, MICHAEL JACKSON AND NOW CHRIS BROWN.

IF THESE MEN TURN TO VILENCE BECAUSE THEIR LIVELY HOOD WAS TAKEN AWAY WOULD IT BE WORTH IT. SOCIETY ALSO PLAYED A ROLE IN MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH BUT THE TRUTH IS ONLY THE DOCTOR WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTED AT THE END OF THE DAY.

ALOT OF PEOPLE TREATED MICHAEL JACKSON BAD ALONG WITH THE MEDIA AND DROVE HIM TO DO SOME OF THE CRAZY THINGS HE DID. THEY HAVE ALL PAID FOR THEIR CRIMES LET THEM CONTINUE THEIR LIVES AND LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES.

WE ARE SO HIPOCRITICAL AS A NATION. WHEN A NORMAL MAN ABUSE HIS WIFE WE DONT EVEN HEAR ABOUT IT OR CARE. WE SIT IN OUR HOUSE AND HEAR HIS WIFE SCREAMING AND PLAY DEAF, BUT ONCE IT IS A CELEBRITY WE OVER REACT AND IT GETS ALL THIS REDICULOUS PUBLICITY.

CHRIS BROWN IS STILL A TEEN AGER AND HIS LIFE SHOULD NOT BE OVER BECAUSE HE MADE A MISTAKE. BUY HIS MUSIC AND LET HIM GET BACK TO WHERE HE WAS AND NOT RUIN THIS BOYS LIFE.

RHIANA SEEMS HYPOCRETICAL COMING OUT WEEKS BEFORE HER ALBUM GETS RELEASE WHILE CHRIS BROWN RECORD SALES IS DOWN AND EVERYONE SHUNNING HIM.

SHE SHOULD NOT PROFIT FROM HER ABUSE AND CHRIS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER NO MORE. HE IS STILL A KID. HE IS VERY TALENTED. LETS BUT THIS BEHING US ALONG WITH THE JOHN AND KATE PLUS 8 AND LEVI JOHNSON AND TRY TO SOLVE SOME OF OUR COUNTRIES REAL PROBLEMS.

FIRST OF ALL I AM A WOMAN AND I HAVE BEEN IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP BEFORE AND I CAN RELATE TO RHIANA. BUT WHAT YOU ALL NOT REALIZING IS THAT RHIANA PROBEBLY THREW THE FIRST BLOW AND MY FEELING ABOUT IT DONT START NOTHING YOU CANT FINISH AND DONT STRIKE THE FIRST BLOW WITHOUT EXPECTING CONSEQUENCES. SOCIETY NEVER LOOK AT WHO STARTED WHAT THEY ALWAYS LOOK AT WHO GETS THE MOST BLOWS REGARDLESS OF WHO STARTED THE FIGHT. I DONT THINK WHAT CHRIS DID WAS RIGHT BUT AS A WOMAN YOU MUST KNOW YOUR LIMITS. SOMETIMES WE WOMEN PUSH MEN BUTTONS BECAUSE WE KNOW IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN YOU CAN CALL THE POLICE AND THE GUY GETS ARRESTED. WHAT ABOUT THOSE MEN WHO ARE BEING ABUSED BY WOMEN. I AM JUST SAYING

As usual, the Chris Brown stans (insane fans for those unfamiliar with the term) are out to attack her. Chris Brown talks about it all over the place but the second Rihanna tells her side suddenly it’s just for attention.

First the beating was somehow her fault, then she’s a horrible person for going back (which MOST people who are abused do, btw), now she’s wrong because she is talking about it? This is both pathetic AND ridiculous.

Lisa, your comment is almost too stupid to dignify with a response. You honestly expect people to believe you were the victim of abuse when you side with the abuser? It’s an insult to the intelligence of ever person who reads it.

Uh NO!!! Rihanna should be up for an OSCAR!! That whole interview was an act!! Give me a break!!! I am a survivor of domestic abuse! Although everyone handles it differently, I NEVER WENT BACK…NOT EVEN ONCE…and I was married and had two kids with the man!!! If she’s such a strong woman, as she reports it, why did she have to wait until SHE’S PROMOTING HER NEW ALBUM to finally speak out? Her words (and actions) were not those of a true victim! So far, I didn’t hear any details that would suggest that she’s innocent in what happened! Listen closely to how she phrases things. She’s being really crafty. I’m sure Chris Brown hit her. However, I’m not sure the physical part of their altercation wasn’t started by Rihanna! “Out of love” Rihanna allowed her emotions to cause her to become violent, and Chris Brown reacted. I’m sure this was not the first time she’s hit him! Give me a break! I don’t believe the image Rihanna and her puppeteers are trying to make us believe. She’s just trying to increase her cd sales! I’m not having it!! GOOD LUCK CHRIS BROWN!!!!!!!! Go into therapy Rihanna!!!

I just hope Rihanna doesn,t go back to chris. Wants a abuser always a abuser. believe me I know. She to beautiful to be with him. He nothing but a spoiled punk and needs to grow up. I,ve been threw that fr 3 years and my exboyfriend put a gun to my head and told me he would kill me. If I was her I would get on with my life and find somebody new that really cares and respect her.

SOme role MOdel she is for girls that ACTUALLY GET ABUSE! Don’t try to act like a spokeperson for the abuse if your not actually going to be a good role model about it! When A GUY beats you, you walk away! you dont go back to him period! Shes just wants attention because she has a new album

I am sick of the whole thing honestly. Funny thing is she picked now to share this story when she has an album dropping. Just another way for her to promote her album. I don’t know why she is famous anyway. The fight made her famous.
