As we creep up to the one year anniversary of the Chris + Rihanna scandal, more tidbits arise regarding the details of their relationship. Rihanna spoke with the W Magazine for their February issue stating:
“There were control issues, insecurity. When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”
Rihanna said she found solace in her music when she wrote about the incident:
“I started to go crazy after about a month in the house, so I went back to work, and the mic was my therapist,” she explained.
“With the mic, there were no negative comments, no negative energy. At first I completely shut down. But now I feel like this happened to me so I could be a voice for young girls who are going through what I went through and don’t know how to talk about it. It’s not about Chris, about hurting him or sabotaging his career. I don’t care about that part of it.”
On why she stayed away from friends and family immediately after the attack:
“It’s like they are too close to you. When you have to talk about something so painful, they are going to get too emotional. And that wasn’t helping me, because I already felt the same way and I’m looking to not feel like this. I felt like, If I’m going to tell you something and you’re going to have pity for me, then I’m not going to talk to you,” she said.
I do see these two moving on, dating other people, and working on their careers, so hopefully she will finally be able to leave that dark night in the past. As for Chris, what he did was dead wrong, but a part of me wishes the public would forgive him. But then I look at that picture of Rihanna beaten, and all my sympathy vanishes. Either way, I wish them both the best.
