Good Morning America aired another snippet of Rihanna’s revealing interview with Diane Sawyer this morning, and the details she disclosed about the night Chris Brown beat her were haunting.
“He had no soul in his eyes,†Rihanna said of Brown’s state of mind during the attack. “He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.â€
Rihanna says the deeper the two “best friends†fell in love, the more dangerous they became for each other “equally.â€
“It was a bit of an obsession.â€
She says the night before the Grammys when the two were driving back to her house after attending Clive Davis‘ party turned “ugly†because she saw a text message from another woman on his phone and she “caught him in a lie.â€
“I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. His back was up against the wall. The truth is right here in a text message. It escalated into him being violent towards me.â€
As hard as it appeared for Rihanna to think back to the night, that she says “was not part of my plan,†she admits she still loves Chris. “I don’t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him, and I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life, and grow up.â€
The interview will air in full tonight on 20/20 at 10 pm EST.

Comment by maison martin margie — November 5, 2009 @ 10:36 pm
@Chick LMAO.. we've established that Chris is a nut. I actually applaud her for having such consideration towards his problem. She's mature, that's for sure.

Comment by Annie — November 5, 2009 @ 11:10 pm
It would be GREAT if she did ORAPH and ended the show with a performance with RR – she would have to edit the words ("so just pull…") b/c it's Oprah you know!

Watching this made me vibrate a bit. That how much I cared about her. Rihanna is so smart and mature you can see here. She is the maturest 21 old I have ever seen!!!
I see it as strong her to do this and know so well what to do. Just a thing like having "walk home blody and in a dress as an option" I see as strong of her.
Respect to Rihanna and LOVE to her too <3

Runboard has extened quotes – doesnt have the source though. Heres a link – not sure it'll work http://runboard.com/breezygraffiti.f2.t315
I just got so sad for her. She talks about how he kept asking her if she hated him, and that she was worried he would do something do himself and that she has no desire to ever be with him again.
Totally depressed for her. She has been through so much. And its kinda sad – just on a human level that he seems to think they have a future – when clearly they dont.

Comment by Avery — November 6, 2009 @ 12:04 am
Finally, finally Rihanna is talking. I have wanted to hear how she feels and what she has been going through these past few months. As you can see she is a strong and mature girl. She understands that there is no need for hate or anger ( those were the emotions that put her and Chris in this situation in the first place.) I'm not a fan of your music Rihanna, but I think you are a unique person and that is why I've always liked you. I'm glad to see that you haven't let this unfortunate situation deter you in any shape or form. you have only become stronger.
Comment by God bless Rihanna — November 6, 2009 @ 1:07 am
I am so proud of rihanna. there r so many women who this is happening 2 but they r hiding it from friends & family & even today they will not speak about it b'cuz there is so much shame.SO I APPLAUD HER FOR TALKING ABOUT IT IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD.
Comment by tracee — November 6, 2009 @ 1:20 am
chris blocked out which means he really didn't remember what he did.
Comment by stanfan — November 6, 2009 @ 1:59 am

Shut the hell up you are a undercover CB stan
Comment by chick — November 6, 2009 @ 2:01 am
My heart just sank after reading ur comments….I am sorry this is just too painful so I will not be watching tonight's interview….This is just too painful for such a young woman to go through but one thing i will say its i applaud her for coming out and sharing her story.
Comment by hatin on the club — November 6, 2009 @ 2:03 am
This sucks all around… no way to get around that fact. God be with everyone involved. After this I just want people to let her live her life and focus on her music. I'm tired of the back and forth over everything, what will be, will be. She's giving me what I want, great music, that's all I request.
Comment by Smart — November 6, 2009 @ 2:17 am
im not undercover i'm neutral i'm also a new fan to rihanna was never and will never be CB's.chris said he didn't remember in the sound bite i didn't see the interview now she is saying she didn't see anything in his eyes.dots are connecting thats all.
Comment by stanfan — November 6, 2009 @ 2:34 am
How is stanfan under cover. When she was just saying what they've BOTH said it. People were crucifying him because he said he "black-out" Rihanna just confirmed it that he did. So stanfan was just speak on that. I don't get why u jump on people *chick – people can speak their minds. Like For Real.

Comment by Eduardo Fernando — November 6, 2009 @ 5:51 am
I personally feel that Rihanna is doing the right thing. She comments on facing the issue and dealing with it as closure. She wants to get pass this and move on from it. She realizes that her fans play a huge part and she wants them to be able to move on with her as well. So a lot of people feel she is doing the interview only for publicity and to promote her new album. Well to me they are wrong before she can move forward, she clearly does not want to leave left over baggage behind. If she decided not to deal with this, it would be almost like a snowball effect and potentially weigh her down. Rihanna has a fast paced lifestyle and successful career, she has no time for things to weigh her down. This is the right time for her to confront the questions about the asssault and what actually took place that night. So with all of this being said, I feel she is taking a stand and being strong for herself and others. Rih keep doing you being creative, pushing the envelope, and making Great music!
Comment by Marie S — November 6, 2009 @ 4:05 pm
Im a rihanna fan and all but, how come she stayed quiet for all these months and now when her album is coming out she decides to be a voice for domestic violence?!? it just seems like she decided to speak out just so she could get her album more famous. if she wants to be a voice for domestic violence, then maybe she should have spoken out a couple months ago, because now it seems like she is just doing this for her album. Also, she said that they were both dangerous for each other EQUALLY!!!!
Comment by Jenna — November 6, 2009 @ 9:06 am
did you see the purse rihanna had….it said"i/m such a fucking lady; wait your turn"
then she posted this on her twitter “I’m such a _____ Ladyâ€. on wait your turn lyrics she must've changed it to "i'm such a such a lady"…..it may be on explicit version…!!!!!
