Rihanna opens up about Chris Brown relationship
Pop star Rihanna has opened up about her much-discussed reconciliation with boyfriend Chris Brown in an interview with Rolling Stone.
The "We Found Love" singer split with the R&B star in the months after he was arrested for violently assaulting her on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards. He later plead guilty to assault charges and is serving five years probation.
In a Rolling Stone cover feature to be published on January 31, Rihanna talks about why she got back together with Brown and what it will mean for her career.
"I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake," she said. "After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
"When you add up the pieces from the outside, it's not the cutest puzzle in the world," she explained. "You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it's different now. We don't have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about s***. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don't want to lose that."
She added: "He doesn't have the luxury of f***ing up again... That's just not an option. I can't say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I'm pretty solid in the knowing that he's disgusted by that. And I wouldn't have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility."
Brown is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons after an alleged brawl with rival R&B singer Frank Ocean outside a Los Angeles recording studio on Sunday night (January 27). Ocean has told police that he wants to press charges.

wow... she doesn't care what other people think? Really? Does she think we were born yesterday? I don't believe for 1 second that her relationship with CB was ever over... but they did hide the relationship for the sake of both their careers and now they think that enough time has past and that we'll be cool... yeah... come on. If she really didn't care about what other people think she should have stood by her man back then and not try to hide the relationship for the sake of her career... maybe I'd have a bit more respect for her now. But... stupid is as stupid does... except now she will become an expert at keeping future abuse under wraps... because she would surely have egg on her face for it to come out again... and it will...

Love is love but as long as you both are on the same page. I am feeling 41 years of love turns to hate./ I am now 60 and love of 41years is making sure that his family sufferes. I would really like to tell the whole story so that young, foolish and in love as to be in a rechecking mode.

I do admire them both and people make mistakes. To forgive a wrong but be mutual. The person who did the wrong, must want and make the changes.
Sitting by, hope and pray that things will be better with age is thwe wrong thing to do.
If there is love on both sides then there is room for forgiveness.
If you really love someone and they love you back then that is the key to forgiveness and a healthy life.
I fell in love at 17 and I am not 60 with a broken heart, and this is because the love was not returned. Soooooo if it is,my advise is to hold one. " he who feels it knowsit" It is hard to see someone you love with someone else.
