In 2009, Chris Brown brutally assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna, leading fans of both artists worldwide to assume that the two would never have any sort of relationship again. Not so, says the Def Jam starlet.
“We’ve been working on our friendship again,” said Rihanna in an interview on Oprah Winfrey’s “Oprah’s Next Chapter” series. “Now we’re very, very close friends. We built a trust again, and that’s it.”
“We love each other, and we probably always will,” added the Pop star. “That’s not something you can shut off if you’ve ever been in love.”
Rihanna was explicitly asked whether she was in a romantic relationship with Brown. “No. He’s in a relationship of his own. I’m single. But we’ve maintained a close friendship since the restraining order’s been dropped. We’ve just worked on it little by little. And it has not been easy. It’s not easy.”
“It’s awkward. It’s awkward because I still love him. My stomach drops. I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me. I have to maintain that and suppress it.”
“I think he was the love of my life,” said Rihanna of Brown.

hoe
looks like c.brown done knocked the sense clean out of her big head. you really gonna try and hook back up with ike?
yo, brown, i always said you got of lite. you lucky as fuck.
SO I guess the way she feels is c browns fault too? wow…if yall are that pissed go do something about domestic violence in the real world and stop acting like your disgust is right and justified by taking it out on these 2…next thing you know some wacko “fan” is gonna feel entitled to run on the stage or shoot c brown over some shit theyre not even involved in…fuckin cowards…
they are just trying to get people to feel sorry for them and play the victim they only went out for a little while
“if yall are that pissed go do something about domestic violence in the real world and stop acting like your disgust is right and justified by taking it out on these 2”
^ this
all up in their business but when Rollo around the way is slapping his girl “that ain’t none of my business”…….
clearly when Breezy beat her up he caused her some brain damage…
fuck outta here with that bullshit bitch! and for the love of everything holy, do porn!
and some women wonder why most men act like bastards huh ?
when you behave sweet and gentle with a woman she takes advantage of you and clearly part away cause women don’t like a man who is to good with them
instead they prefer a man who beat the shit outta them and disrespect them from the bottom to the top
this story is a pure example of it
women are really fuckin dumb and need to check themselves before this whole world turns into a fuckin drama between the genders
co-sign, thats why we got beta males and alpha males
I don’t get it either man, it makes no sense. She’s doing nothing but proving it. I wonder if I started beating down on women I could bag Rihanna.
only your flawed logic defines their entire relationship based on one publicized incident. as if you were there with them every step of the way seeing how they interacted. Youre a dumb judgmental nigga. not to justify chris beating her, but for you to pass judgment on their entire relationship based on one error is hilarious. fucking outsiders get an internet connection and bookmark mediatakeout and then act like they know niggas on a personal level and shit. smh.
you’re a funny nigga for calling a woman who got beaten the shit out of her an “error”
smh
Woman Beaters Defend Woman Beaters.
Anon3 is 100% correct. Do you know anon3 Paul, or are you “passing judgment”? Bet you’re Christian too.
Anon4 = Anon3
nuff said
Sorry Charlie, not anon3. Judgmental aren’t you?
Another idiot that i just read about. why am i so unproductive these days.
do porn you hoe! you rejected Drizzy, bitch! you dont get love from YMCMB. we dont like bitches who hurted Drizzy Drake’s feelings. Jimmy would kill Chris Brown in real fight. just sayin. swag
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU YMCMB FAG. YOU LOOK STUPID FOR EVEN POSTING THAT. AND ADDIN SWAG AT THE END JUST MAKES YOU LOOK MORE OF A REMEDIAL, DOWN SYNDROME, BABY DICK HAVIN ASS MUTHAFUCKER.
Wow, So Icy Boi, you sound super gay in your comments. You all on Wayne and Drake’s jockstrap; I don’t know if anybody told you this or not, but they like girls.
They should get married and have some extremely talented children. He made one mistake as a young man and should be given another chance.
YA A “MISTAKE”
DEFEND HIS STUPID WOMAN BEATIN ASS.
HE WASN’T A KID, AND HE STILL ISN’T
NIGGA DAT SHIT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS AGO
BUT I WILL SAY THAT DIS IS PROOF
100% PROOF
GIRLS LOVE ASSHOLES. NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.
SOME NIGGA BEAT RIHANNAS FACE TO A PULP
AND SHE SAY HE DA LOVE OF HER LIFE
I MEAN FO REAL!!!!!
if they get back together, i understand why
Damn, bunch of perfect people come onto this site.. bonkers
Now I see who why over emotional Drake got so tight at that club.
what has this to do with hiphopnews????
At least she is keeping it real. Love doesn’t die easy. There is more to that story too. Gad they are cool though
Why do people still care? Its obvious that Rihanna doesn’t care what people think how she feels about Chris Brown. Personally, I don’t think CB is a practicing woman beater, despite what he did to Rihanna, but in the end, what does it matter? Fans need to know their place; CB & Rihanna don’t owe their fans or anybody else an explanation for their feelings, and if they did get back together, so what? The only people whose opinions matter about their relationship are the ones closest to them meaning family & close friends, not the fans, and even the ones close to them should know when to back up.
she got an album coming out or what?
The Misanthropik One said it. Women love assholes!
She ain’t even good looking for porn. This hoe is ugly
Homie, what are you talking about? Rihanna is bad, like her or not.
u do no that there is a porn star that looks just like her. Her name is Lavish Styles.
@Anonymous
DAMN! u are right. thanks for the name and google for the search lol
Lavish Styles got fat. She don’t look like Rihanna no mo.
oprah should have smacked dat hoe
why is this on a hiphop site.
I lost a bit of respect for Rihanna simply because of the way she’s been handling this situation. Why would you try to befriend a person who physically hurt you? There are millions of men out there that she can meet and yet she only seems to be interested with the one that beat her. There are days where i wonder what goes through a woman’s mind when they make these irrational decisions. It happens too often and i just don’t get it.

No way Chris’s Ike hand only flared up once. Rihanna was probably getting touched up daily, but since Misery loves company, she interpreted it as he loved her. These two should just get back together, brawl again, and then announce their engagement on TMZ.
AHAHAHAHA
She provoked that Sh!t. Some women don’t know how to react when upset. I’m willing to bet she took him to the point of no return. I’m not condoning what he did but there are women who don’t know how to express themselves without their hands and extra dramatics involved. She seems like that type. Just a loose hood chick with money! That’s why she saying all this to Oprah.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s one of those women who say shit like “I dare you to hit me you no good nigga” then cry to her daddy, the state when he actually hits her.
It seems that she asked for…..She propably call him “Chicken” or something and asked for some strong reaction and……..he did that.
She knows that she provoked
Awwwww…Their love is forever…Just like their herpes…
Best name ever
yeah it is a pretty awesome name lmao
thank you for this. as a reader of a hip-hop site, i was really concerned about the love lives of two r&b singers
so quit clicking on these links and giving hits to these types of articles, genius
@tyson
LMAO co-sign yo HHDX is full of shit posting articles about R&B bitches like damn this is a Hip Hop website y’all
This bitch can reminisce about the past all she wants cause at the end of the day Chris ain’t running back to her bitch ass!
“He’s in a relationship, and I’m single” she basically saying she available and wish they could see each other again.
its true what say women love bad boys!!!
“I’m willing to bet she took him to the point of no return”
Real men don’t hit women, no matter what the circumstance.
U onto sumthin therr. real G’z don’t hit women. But Hoez, triCCz, and BkitChes isn’t womem. This five-headed Ho iz a ho, so it ain’t nuttin wrong wit roughin her up. CB a bkitch too, so wasn’t nuttin but a Cat fight. Two bkitChes gettin down.
the bitch probably got what we deserved in ’09
Fuc this latin ho I’m glad she got hit by that fag
Barbados is far from being Latin
Their relationship is based on money. Since this story didn’t generate much interest, they won’t be back together again.
i bet she still fuckin him
