Rihanna regrets not ending abusive relationship sooner
The singer Rihanna was assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February 2009, and though they split following the attack, they briefly reconciled and now the Only Girl (In The World) hitmaker admits she can’t believe she didn’t end the relationship sooner.
She said, “It was a situation I always told myself I would never allow myself to be in. It’s something I would force girlfriends to get out of. But there I was, sitting in it. I witnessed physical abuse happening to my mum and I always said I would never let that happen to me, and then it was happening to me. Now, when I look back at it, it just bugs me out that I couldn’t see it for what it was,” she added.
Despite the shocking attack, Rihanna, who is now dating baseball star Matt Kemp, insists she never wanted people to pity her and hates the fact her personal problems became public knowledge.
She told Britain’s GQ magazine, “Before that, I was just a little girl from the island, singing pop music. It was easy to think I was shallow I had everything. It seemed like I had no problems in the world. And all of a sudden, boom!. Everybody realises I do have problems. But I would rather put on a face. I would never let anyone see me cry.
