Rihanna to tell her story on 20/20 and Good Morning America this week!
Well it looks as though Rihanna is definitely breaking her silence this week. In her upcoming “Woman Of The Year” feature in Glamour Magazine, she speaks on her “bruised photo” leak as well as offers up advice to young women. “I felt like I went to bed as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears“. Here are a few excerpts:
Rihanna on the Photo Leak
It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.Rihanna’s message to young women
Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.Rihanna on Being In Love
I hope I find love in the next 10 years—that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love! But yeah, I’d like to be in a great place in both my personal life and my career. I still want to be doing what I love. Whatever that is in 10 years, I don’t know.
