Rihanna Feels Like a Beat Down Britney
Rihanna is taking her “Buy My Album!!!!!!!!” tour to “20/20” and hitting up Glamour mag. Prepare for more eye patches and chicken little inspired weaves.
The “Russian Roulette” singer is finally opening up about her domestic disturbia before the Grammy awards with then boyfriend, Chris Brown. They couple exploded in tabloids after a fight turned violent in Brown’s car after a pre-awards party. Unless you were living in spider-hole you will easily recall the photos of RiRi’s injuries post fight.
Glamour and Diane Sawyer both crack open Rihanna’s thoughts on domestic abuse. She has so far given very after school special answers to the first inquiries on the subject.
Glamour: If you could offer a message to the millions of young women who look up to you, what would you tell someone who found herself in a similar situation?
Rihanna: Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.
Glamour: “You’re talking about the photo [reportedly of Rihanna’s injured face taken by police after Brown assaulted her] that was allegedly leaked by cops. You handled that so well; you kept silent in the press.”
RiRi: “It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.”
The interview is scheduled to air on “Good Morning America” on Thursday, Nov. 5 and Friday, Nov. 6 at 7 a.m. ET, and on “20/20” on Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 p.m. ET. (This all conveniently coincides with her new album launching along with Brown’s new attempt at a comeback.) She even compares herself to Britney Spears in her new found level of fame.
“It has taught me so much. I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, What, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?”
I always hate it when my sac get shut down too.
