For the first time since the February attack by Chris Brown, Rihanna broke her silence this morning on Good Morning America, saying she was embarrassed by the incident and hopes people can learn from her situation.
In the Interview, the 21-year-oold singer speaks candidly about her relationship with former lover Chris Brown.
“The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other,” Rihanna shared with Sawyer. “He was definitely my first big love.”
She continued: “This happened to me… and it can happen to anybody.”
The “Unbrella” singer tells Diane Sawyer she was embarrassed that she “fell in love with that person.”
“So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience,” she told Sawyer.
“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” she added. “But again … I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.”
In the two-part interview, Rihanna will also discuss her family life, growing up in Barbados and how life has been for her since her split from Chris Brown.
The full interview with Rihanna airs Friday night on 20/20.
