Rihanna talks publicly to 20/20 about her ordeal with domestic violence. She went into details about the night of the Chris Brown attack.
In a "20/20" interview airing Friday, Rihanna offers her graphic account of the fateful February 7 confrontation with then-boyfriend Chris Brown -- including the terrifying blankness that seemed to come over him as he assaulted her.
She said all she kept thinking was, "When is it going to stop? When is it going to stop? He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him."
The fight, she said, started when Brown received a text message from another woman while they were driving away from a Grammy Awards party.
"I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn't tell the truth. And I wouldn't drop it," Rihanna told Diane Sawyer in the interview, portions of which aired Friday morning on "Good Morning America."
"I couldn't take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it. ... It escalated into him being violent towards me. And it was ugly." How ugly? "I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face," she said. Link
Well, I'm glad to hear she finally broke it off with Brown.
In any relationship, there is a fine line that you do NOT cross!
Yes, every couple goes through arguments, disagreements and conflicts, but when one raises their hand against another - you have crossed that line and there is no turning back.
Any man that would inflict physical harm on their mate, spouse or significant other - DUMP HIM IMMEDIATELY!
There is no compromise, no counseling, no dialogue to 'patch things up'. Absolutely no more excuses to keep the relationship!
Just Leave!
