RIHANNA SAYS SHE "WOKE UP AS BRITNEY SPEARS" AFTER CHRIS BROWN ASSAULTED HER:
Wednesday November 4th, 2009
As expected, ABC dropped a few more quotes from its exclusive interview with RIHANNA. (--It'll air in three parts: On "Good Morning America" tomorrow and Friday . . . and on "20/20" Friday night.) Here they are . . .
Rihanna talks about how insane the media coverage got after she was assaulted by CHRIS BROWN. She says, "I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as BRITNEY SPEARS. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day."
But she adds that the attention may actually HELP people going through the same thing.
She says, "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."
In a separate interview with "Glamour" magazine, Rihanna says it's important for her to set an example, because so many people cover up domestic abuse.
She says, "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."
(--By the way . . . Rihanna dropped her new video, "Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)", yesterday. You can watch it here . . .)
