Rihanna Talks Chris Brown with Oprah

Rihanna got real emotion while talking to Oprah about her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. She talked about that horrible night back in 2009 when Chris Brown assaulted her. Tears started to roll down Rihanna’s face when she began to think about that night, but not for the reasons you may think.

“It was a weird, confusing space to be in…because as angry as I was, as angry and hurt and betrayed, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help, and who’s going to help him? Nobody’s going to say he needs help. Everybody’s going to say he’s a monster without looking at the source…and I was more concerned about him.” she told Oprah during the interview that will air Sunday night on OWN.

She told Oprah that she lost her best friend that night and that her whole life changed. It just goes to show you just how close they were before that terrible incident took place. You can kind of get where she is coming from, but it’s hard to feel sorry for Chris Brown. It’s not like he has changed completely since that night; he has had multiple episodes since then.

But, I’m not rooting against him; I hope one day he does change completely. Heck, he might even put out some quality music one day, too! As little J.P. from Angels in the Outfield might say, “It could happen!”
