Rihanna reveals what sparked the fight that night and describes how it all went down

People are buzzing about Rihanna’s interview with Good Morning America. Now, the singer has spoken on the subject she’s been silent. In the interview, Rihanna said that she isn’t the only one who could suffer from domestic violence.

“…This happened to me…it can happen to anyone,” she said, according to excerpts released by ABC.

Glamour is honoring Rihanna in their annual Women of the Year event at Carnegie Hall on November 9.

Rihanna opened up to Glamour Magazine about the Chris Brown incident, the photograph of her that evening and more….

“My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand.

That’s when you get close to God,” she said.

On the photograph, she said she was humiliated.

“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 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. ”

“I am stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.”

She finally added a message to people struggling through domestic violence.

“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.”

“I’ve put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. [My new album] is super fearless—which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.”
