Rihanna Admits To Loving Chris Brown & More On ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’

love this woman so much, she’s real and doesn’t care!!

This was a good interview but I hope she moves on from CB emotionally.

I like Rihanna, she makes great party music.. However, I view her personality differently than a lot of people. I think fame is a drug for her. Where some artists want Grammys, acclaim, and to be the GOAT, Rihanna craves the fame and the noteriety of being a star. Intertwine that with low self esteem, a public breakup, and social media, and you have the big ass mess we see before our eyes. Instagram and Twitter have actually been bad for her healing process. She sits on Instagram “liking” Chrianna pictures all day, and on Twitter, her legions of fans give her the OK that all of her foolishness (shading Karrueche, the remixes, etc.) is OK. On top of that, so many of her fans tweet her pictures of her and Chris while shading Karrueche. It’s obvious she finds comfort in that. She needs to be finding comfort elsewhere. I’ve been in a few bad relationships. One in particular ran me so low that I didn’t even know who I was outside of that person. I’ve been there. I know what’s it like to not be over it, obsess over someone, and they’re likely not even thinking about you. So, although I can empathize with her emotionally. I’m not excusing her lack of social responsibility and self respect. If she hadn’t fully gotten herself together, she shouldn’t have been on 20/20 in 2009 to exploit the situation for album promo while passive aggressively shitting on Chris in the process. Now, 3 years later she wants to get on TV again to say she’s not over him, she gets butterflies, and he is her true love. Rihanna seems to still be dealing with this like it’s brand new. The reason she’s not over Chris is because she hasn’t tried.

It was very shocking, for me, to hear her say that her happiness was contingent upon his happiness. She couldn’t truly be complete and happy unless he was happy and complete? That section of the interview made her seem like a complete idiot. It’s funny how the Navi said we were all hating on her, but she basically confirmed everything we were all saying about her for months. She even connected the dots with her “daddy issues” to her situation with Chris. Unfortunately for Rihanna and her fans, she (and they) doesn’t realize it’s not acceptable to say or feel that she can’t be happy unless a man that beat her ass (and doesn’t respect her) is happy. As honest as that statement is, it shows that she has not properly processed the situation that she is in. Rihanna seems extremely fragile on the inside, and her emotional dependancy level is high.

Besides all of that, I couldn’t understand anything she was trying to express. She would start off a point, and then end it extremely awkwardly. I don’t get how some people are running around saying how “strong” and “real” she is. I think she came off very stupid and in desperate need of therapy. She didn’t reveal anything we didn’t already know.

It was just crazy to hear it out of her mouth.

@Lauren I agree with ur 1st comment,she lucked out and even though she said earlier in the game that she has always wanted to sing,that was a lie. She wanted fame nd fortune only. She didn’t even talk abt the direction she wants to take professionally and what she wants to achieve in a couple of yrs time,*shrugs* this is brand management her team wants to clean her up and use what works best for her Sympathy,if the ppl see her cry then they will continue to support her not matter what nonsense she releases or does.

That is a very unflattering picture of both Rihanna and Oprah.

If she wants a man that loves her more than she loves him she needs to change her behaviour, ie. swearing like a sailor, hard driking, questionable photos etc. No one’s gonna respect you if you don’t respect yourself. All they’re gonna be thinking about is fucking you. Stop trying to come of as a bad ass when you’re not. Just be yourself.

The sole question I have from this interview is has she really moved on? what was the real purpose of this interview? because for an interview that was supposed to give us some answers and insight into Rihanna it just left me with more questions.

@Lauren, I swear it’s like you were in my head! Rihanna sounded like the typical abused woman that still loves the man that beats her. Rihanna needs help. She says that Chris needs it but clearly she does also. She has not gotten to the source she may think she did but she hasn’t. If she found that guy that loved her more than herself she wouldn’t get with him. Because she is still in love with Chris her abuser. That is just the plain fact. She can sugar coat it and paint butterflies all she wants, but that is not normal. She says that she wanted to protect him. So doing a song with him is protecting him? I pray to God that this girl gets the help she needs before it is too late. Forgiveness does not mean getting back romantically with the person, and that’s what we fail to understand sometimes. She needs to get people around her that truly care about her well being and let this girl take some time off and seek counseling for herself. She is a beautiful girl and I hope that one day soon she comes to discover her self worth.
