The “Take a Bow” songstress explained that when Chris abused her, she believed he had blacked out. “He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him.”
As for the horrendous beating she received after the Grammys back in February, Ri-Ri said, “I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn’t tell the truth. And I wouldn’t drop it. 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. I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face.”
She continued, “My next option was to get out of the car and walk, start walking in a gown and a bloody face. I didn’t have a plan. That whole night was not part of my plan.”
When asked if she hates Chris, Rihanna replied, “No, I don’t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up. And just take this as something you had to go through to grow up and learn.”
