We have pictures of RiRi on location for her shoot with Glamour Magazine’s Woman of the Year December covers. RiRi finally speaks out on her domestic abuse situation to Glamour, and had a new song leaked called “HARD” featuring Jeezy.

Flip the Lid to Look and Listen

Rihanna on her ordeal with Chris Brown:

Glamour: Let’s first talk about life before you made it: You are one of the few pop stars in recent years to come from the islands.
Rihanna: I would have never dreamed that my career would be this successful. I grew up in an average home in Barbados, and we didn’t live in the best neighborhood. But I was never aware that we were poor; my mom never made us feel that way. She loved me unconditionally. She made us feel anything was possible and instilled in me such confidence.

Glamour: Did you sing a lot as a kid?
Rihanna: Always—in the shower, to pillows and stuffed animals, my cousins. But I knew I wanted my music to be heard worldwide. That was my dream. I was able to make demos whenever I had vacation time, but my mom always said, “You are not stopping school until you get signed.” And even when I got signed, she still made me go to school.

Glamour: You auditioned for Jay-Z at Def Jam. What was that like?
Rihanna: I was nervous as hell. The night before, I couldn’t sleep. I was trying on a million different outfits and makeup. I remember seeing Jay-Z and starting to shake. I thought he would be in a suit, sitting behind a desk with a cigar. But he was totally chill, wearing sneakers and a T-shirt. Then I went into audition mode. I knew it was all or nothing. Right away, the Def Jam people said, “You can’t leave the building.” They closed the door, and the lawyers stayed until 1:00 or 2:00 A.M. to do the deal.

Glamour: That literally is the definition of overnight success!
Rihanna: In a matter of weeks, the first single [“Pon de Replay”] went to radio. Then we shot a video, and the song just took off. I was in the Top 10 with huge artists who I looked up to. Jay-Z kept telling me, “This never happens, so don’t get used to it.” I saw how special that moment was.

Glamour: What’s the most valuable piece of advice Jay-Z’s ever given you?
Rihanna: In the beginning of my career, he said, “You must be a good person, because good things are happening for you, but you have to stay humble.” One thing that intrigued me about him was that he was such a huge artist and really down-to-earth. I felt like if he was saying this, it must work.

Glamour: Let’s talk about this past year—you’ve obviously been through some difficult things. How did the people around you help you cope?
Rihanna: My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.

Glamour: Are you referring to the [Chris Brown] incident?
Rihanna: I am talking about starting with the night [before] the Grammys and then on. That was not the only thing that occurred this year. The picture leaking…it was one thing after another.

Glamour: You’re talking about the photo [reportedly of Rihanna’s injured face taken by police after Brown assaulted her] that was allegedly leaked by cops. You handled that so well; you kept silent in the press.
Rihanna: 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.

Glamour: How has this event changed you as a person, as a woman?
Rihanna: I’m stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.

Glamour: Do you think you’ve gotten your strength from your mom?
Rihanna: Definitely. My mom gave us the tools to survive…. My parents separated when I was eight or nine. I helped her raise my [youngest] brother, because my mom was working all the time. He’s my favorite.

Glamour: Do you feel that this experience has laid the groundwork for coping with anything so public again?
Rihanna: It has taught me so much. I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, What, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?

Glamour: If you could offer a message to the millions of young women who look up to you, what would you tell someone who found herself in a similar situation?
Rihanna: 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.

Glamour: I think that’s a great message. What about your new album? What’s it like?
Rihanna: I was involved in a lot of the writing. I put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. The songs are really personal. It’s rock ‘n’ roll, but it’s really hip-hop: If Lil’ Wayne and Kings of Leon like my album, then I’ll feel good. I would not change anything about it. Even if people don’t love it, I made exactly the piece of art that I wanted to make. It’s super fearless—which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.

Glamour: Justin Timberlake said it sounds a little more grown-up—do you agree with that comment?
Rihanna: I agree. I have grown up a lot since my last album. It [represents] exactly where I am at right now.

Glamour: Jay-Z once said that your challenge as an artist was going to be to make people relate to you as a human being. What do you think he meant by that?
Rihanna: Before, there was an innocence to me. It was a perfect image. So the minute I did something imperfect, it was a big deal. I think that’s what he was referring to: People forget that after we get to our hotel rooms at night, we take a shower, we watch TV, eat room service and do normal things. Behind it all, we are still human beings.

Glamour: Now let’s talk about your success in the world of fashion: You have become a fashion icon practically overnight. What does it mean to you as a performer, as a creative person, as a way to celebrate who you are?
Rihanna: Fashion for me is another way I get to express myself creatively. It is one of the fun things I get to do: to play dress-up, and create outfits and looks that aren’t typical. I am an artist, so I like creating things. Shoes are my favorite thing.

Glamour: OK, so how many pairs do you own?
Rihanna: Too damn many! [Laughs.]

Glamour: Your look has evolved from the beginning of your career.
Rihanna: In the first two years of my career, there were a lot of restraints on what I could do. I couldn’t wear certain colors of lipstick, like bright pink, dark pink or red; [my lips] had to be natural. Eventually, I stopped communicating with certain people at the label, and did exactly what I wanted to do. And that was to cut my hair, dye it black, change my clothes, change my sound. Really to just express myself.

Glamour: Let’s talk about that famous hair of yours. Your cut now is even called “The Rihanna” in salons!
Rihanna: Yeah, we cut it into a bob for the [Good Girl Gone Bad album] cover shoot, but then I went even shorter for the NRJ Music Awards [in January 2008]. My hairdresser just said, “I don’t feel like doing your hair anymore—I want to cut it.” I was like, Finally!

Glamour: On to your charity work: What in your own life inspired you to start the Believe Foundation?
Rihanna: I have always loved kids. They are little adults with so much personality, and it is fun to work with that. Whether that means donating school supplies or medication, or [using my celebrity] to get them a bone marrow transplant, I want to help.

Glamour: You actually helped a young girl and a mother of two, both of whom were suffering from leukemia, find bone marrow matches for transplants. How did that happen?
Rihanna: My manager sent me a video this little girl did for her best friend. It shows them playing, and then Isabelle says to the camera, “This is my friend Jasmina, and here’s how you can help her: Swab your mouth for DNA, and put it into an envelope.” They were both adopted and have the best bond—they are inseparable. The video made you fall in love with both of them. I was like, I have to help her. So I did a bunch of events to raise awareness. Just when we thought we were not going to find a donor, we found one. The other woman, Lisa, is a mother of two who was diagnosed with leukemia and was going to die if she didn’t get a bone marrow transplant. I knew she could not leave her two kids; that’s all that was going through my head. So we said a lot of prayers, sent out press releases and did events in order to get the word out. Her transplant was successful. She was in a lot of pain, but she was so strong and determined.

Glamour: Wow, that’s amazing. So here you are, only 21, and you have already accomplished so much. Where do you see yourself in five years?
Rihanna: So much has happened in the past five years, I can’t speak for the next five. What I want is to continue to grow. Because I am never satisfied; I always want more. I always want to get better. I always want to climb another step.

Glamour: Is it too early for you to think, I want to be in love, I want to have a family? Is that too far down the road?
Rihanna: 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.

Glamour: Well, congratulations on being a Woman of the Year!
Rihanna: It is an honor. The women who are being honored are all such great inspirations to me. I look up to them.

————————————————–

This paragraph really spoke to me.

After reading this article, it’s clear to me that Rihanna is ready to tell her story and move past the Chrianna incident. I sympathize with her struggle to maintain privacy while her business was at the forefront of the world-wide media. What a terrible thing to deal with in the midst from recovering from domestic *****ault. With regard to her career, I wish her the best.

Having said that, this song is terrible.

Fake! chick, that album is not going to sale well so she uses Chris and plays the victim card all of a sudden. Glamour should have done some intensive studies on Rihanna before allowing her to use them for the Woman of the Year award. What a shame, y’all waited all this time for this mess! All the times we were seeing her walk the streets did she ever dip her head into an abused womens shelter? no, cause she is not one. She got into an altercation with her boyfriend on one occcasion and people screamed domestic violence in which she never excepted until now, now that the CD is not being excepted by her so called stans, even Perez is not feeling her this time. But playing the victim is going to backfire and I hope big time.. Her voice has changed it went from a cat hollaring to a billygoat so I guess that’s Chris’s fault to?

THEY KILLED MIKE

I. THAT SECOND DRESS (NOT ON THE COVER) IS FLYY!

2. I LIKE HOW THEY ARE CONVEYING A “SOFTER” RIRI SINCE THE HARD ONE SHE’S BEEN PORTRAYING IS NOT BELIEVABLE DUE TO THE “FIGHT”…

AWWW RIRI, SHE MAY DRESS LIKE SHE’S TOUGH BUT ACTIONS SAY OTHERWISE. JUST SAYIN

We will never know what really happened that night. But as a victim of domestic violence myself it was embar*****ing just for my family and friends to find out so I cannot even imagine what she had to go through for the whole world to know. The god I know is a healer of all things. He also is the one who holds judgement not you or me. May God bless Chris and her and hope they learn from their mistakes.

I just can’t get with the fact that she is coming out with this now…It seems contrived for sympathy and cd sales…Why didn’t you discuss this months ago when it happened…Now it seems like pandering….

I love riri but glamour must be joking about her being woman of the year. Even as a real fan, I am asking myself what has she truly done in 2009 to deserve this recognition? So now that her album is about to be released she wants to speak about what happened. Why not hold off and let her album and music market itself? Losing respect for the girl..

Rihanna is garbage to me…Her & her PR team KNOW that her time as the “it” girl is fading & her music is not even good. So now they wanna create “hype” with her telling her story. It’s a lil too late for that. She’s as wack as that damn hairstyle she’s wearing…

Rihanna was in an abusive relationship, publicly humiliated, and then vilified, and she spoke about it when she was good and ready to speak. That chick don’t have to please y’all. But LisaRaye’s overly dramatic, gold-diggin’ ***** gets PLENTY of support from the Bossip bloggers. SMH…

WELL RHI’S FINANCES ARE TIGHT AND “SHE WASN’T IN LOVE”….WHAT THE HELL DID SHE STICK AROUND FOR??

I HATE the N WORD

11/3/09, 12:32:pm

I like this song. Woman of the Year, hmmm, okay. I wish people didnt wait until their album is going to drop to open their mouths about situation. For me it makes it seem as though your life is for sale for the right price. People get mad at gossip sites, blogs and paps for using them when they do it to themselves. It makes their epiphanies seem less genuine.

If you were not in love, then why were you trying to get the restraining order removed? As someone whose best friend was a true victim of domestic violence, it would be more believable if you did not have incidents where you were hitting him. But, I am sure she was embarr*****ed for the world to know. Why didn’t you file charges against TMZ or police dept? Then you would be woman of the year to me. No matter what, they shouldn’t be allowed to exploit “victims”. I wish both of them, good luck. Hopefully, Chris will read this and understand he needs to move on because no matter what is being said in private. She just told you what’s up in public. Stop making a fool of yourself for her. She’s not willing to admit her feelings for you, so get counseling and move on. Actually, they both need counseling.

fake ***** interview to increase album sales…who cares ur ***** still want chris but jay said hell 2 da naw

11/3/09, 12:46:pm

You people are pathetic.. I don’t care if she timed this interview with her CD or not..She stared domestic violence in the face and survived. Now she wants to help other females who are going through it.

She’s not the first nor will she be the last celeb to time a CD with an event in their life. It’s the business. But in her case I hope young girls out there are encouraged to seek help.

I said it once and Imma say it again If a man hits you once and you stay your an enabler and I dont have sympathy for you. Your not a victim your an idiot box who needs to get a clue!!!

The turn Willie Lynch Paper is what we used to describe Rihanna and company, don’t use the turn if you do not understand what it mean. Rihanna is a sale out, she don’t give a dam about young teen girl are battered woman it’s all about her CD! Rihanna is know longer in a abuse relationship and I hope Chris Brown keeps walking and don’t look back because this bit#h 15 minutes of fames is over next.

GIMMEABREAK

11/3/09, 14:05:pm

Sitting there innocent like she ain’t NOTHING to do with what happened to her and she won’t even admit her part. She lost me as a fan when she cannot admit her own shortcomings and culpability. Things just don’t happen. This was the culimination of it all. She was in deeper than she’d like to admit, this is why that text got her all twisted. When she saw that text, she realized she wasn’t Chris’s all in all, and that was not supposed to happen to the pretty girl. Sad. I’d have more respect for her if she admitted her own part in it. She lost me; not a fan; using her victim status to create an edgy image; and no thanks, I ain’t buying it or into it. TEAM BREEZY, GET YOUR CAREER GOING AGAIN. YOU DESERVE TO HAVE A CAREER TOO, FOR YOU ARE A VICTIM, TOO.

Best I Ever Had- You should really re-think your “if everyone’s doing it” stance. If everyone’s saying it, that doesn’t make it true or right. We’re in a couple of worthless wars in the Middle East right now because “everyone” thought it would be a good idea. Six million Jews and several million Sudanese are dead because “everyone” thought that was a good idea too. Until I started blogging, I had no idea there was this much ignorance in the world! But then again, this country did elect Bush twice…

11/3/09, 14:53:pm

Nice song big improvement over the other two. Her hair is not making it, it looks like it’s half done. Since her outward appearance is more important than her sound I think her team could do better. Also I think she has plenty of years to be “Dark” I would have went in a more uptempo fun way with her sound and fashion for this album. It would have made her stand out more, every female right now is doing the same thing it’s a bit boring. Music sucks so hard right now, listening to most radio is like being water boarded, perfect time for someone new to come in, or someone from back in the day(lauryn I am talking to you)

In her 20/20 interview, she is quoted on People.com as saying that Chris Brown was her “first big love”.. how can she have a first love but not be in love with the person?

If she was not in love with him, then she loved him like a brother or best friend but you don’t put the title of “first love” on your best friend.

Rihanna was trying to save face by saying she was not in love…when in fact it hurts to think the person she was in love with would hurt her like Chris did. Be honest about your feelings boo boo!

Chris is definitely doing a bit much. I think he should ctrl r and transform his ***** into something else. Come new Chris. I’m sure there is something else out there.

11/3/09, 20:14:pm

Whatever. I think Britney Spears won that award last year just for not doing anything crazy. I have to agree with just about everyone that she’s only doing this because she has a cd coming out. I bet no one is calling her on what she did to provoke that situation. None of these people remember the judge admonishing her for her part in this situation.

Also, how come no one is calling her on her dressing like a tranny hooker? For someone who doesn’t like attention or the paps why does she always pull the “don’t take my picture just because I’m wearing a sheer shirt with metal things on my nips and a short skirt-I’m really a shy church going young lady” act.

CB is not Ike and she is definitely not Tina. Maybe her cousing Sheena, cause Sheena can’t sing. I’m not giving him a p***** cause he was very wrong but the sad part is that she has to own a part in this and the mainstream media & some fans are giving her one.

If only she had taken the time off to take singing lessons and meet with people who really have been through a serious domestic violence situation would I have been impressed.

You know how the Media is…if she wants to put it behind her and move on with her career she got to make a few high profile interviews, otherwise it will be the only thing she will be asked. It isn’t reasonable to think the press will let this be the elephant in the room.

Domestic Violence is serious which is why she shouln’t exploit it especially since we all now she hit him first and had hit him before.

And she was and still is in love with Chris so there lied again saying she wasn’t.

I really think this is a tactic to sell albums. If she wanted people to know how she felt after the ordeal then she should have done it right after—not months later! It is ridiculous how celebrities can get off selling albums off of their personal lives and not real talent. Publicity stunt to the fullest. I feel that Chris is really trying to get his career back on track. What he did was a shame but what else can he do? He is trying his best…Rihanna needs to get real and if she hit him too, then she’s no better.

Natalie

11/4/09, 16:37:pm

Wow. Black women are so cruel to each other. I am not black but read bossip a lot and it blows my mind how mean you all are about Rhianna, a domestic violence victim. So many of you supported Chris Brown and are upset because she waiting to talk about what happened to her. Who the hell cares when she decided to talk. She probably wanted to wait until all the hype died down. Had she spoken sooner, you all would have called her tacky for speaking so soon and not taking a minute. Boy, you people are your worst enemy. Seems weird that so many non black people support her and wish her well on other blog sites. Kind of sad but maybe it is a cultural thing that I do not get.

Dave

11/5/09, 12:37:pm

@Natalie

I feel what you are saying….to a degree. What we all need to do, we as black folks and you as a concerned white person, is worry about our own. There is enough wrong in white America for you to work on and be concerned about. Like most people you probably don’t realize it…..it’s hard to smell your own mess….but if you are really open-minded and seeking the truth you would admit that on other non-black blogs their are things just as troubling being said by white people about other white people and others…..just like this blog.

I say this as someone who reads Bossip but who might read some of the same blogs you do. Few blogs give an accurate view of what people are thinking. Blog often are places for cowards to find their courage, feel me?

if you are really so concerned stop taking the vouyers approach and talk to a black person….in person. Only commenting on Bossip or reading Bossip augments your ignorance. Bossip is Bossip….gossip and little substance….Be real. You know this is an entertainment blog and that most of the folks commenting are under 20 (like you probably). If this is your view into black America where you make sweeping generalization about what is part of a “culture” then you are the one that is sad. if you want to talk culture with a black person mature enough and intelligent enough to clear your thinking up let me know. my group of over 200 in-tuned progressive thing black folks would love to chat with you and any of your friends that might have similar questions.
