Nine months after suffering a brutal beating at the hands of her superstar ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, Rihanna has finally spoken out about the night in an interview with Diane Sawyer for ABC News, and in shocking detail.
In a clip from the interview that ran on this morning’s Good Morning America, Rihanna recounts the attack which she describes as “ugly” and Brown’s demeanor at the time. “He had no soul in his eyes,†she told Sawyer. “Just blank. He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.”
Brown has given a small number of interviews about the incident but refused to go into specifics, he says, out of respect for his and Rihanna’s privacy. He remained mum in a new interview with MTV filmed in his native Virginia on Monday (November 2). When asked for a response to Rihanna’s tell-all, he issued the following statement:
“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8th, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”
Rihanna’s full interview with Diane Sawyer will air tonight on 20/20 at 10 pm EST.

“What provoked you to do this?”
CB- “Anger”
…not her hitting him or whatever else people have come up with to justify it. He’s not even trying to justify it. That’s the truth. Refreshing on both of their parts!
He should be in jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After hearing the interview i now have an idea about the situation. This could happen to anybody the are doing separate things so what do you want from them. i believe she would be with him if it was not gone public, EVERBODY NEEDS TO LET IT GO.
This would be a career ender in any other genre-culture but the one CB makes his living off of, but sadly it will make him more $ and set the example for the next talantless performer.
