Its no secret that Rihanna was going to talk about her ex Chris Brown and the abuse she suffered at his hands during her 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer. About the assault, Rihanna said  “He had no soul in his eyes, just blank. I was battered. I was bleeding. I was swollen in my face. There’s nothing you can do or say to make somebody do that to you. That’s just on them.” She also offered her thoughts on him, saying “I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career and have a great life, and grow up.”

After watching Rihanna on Diane Sawyer, Chris Brown, who was often the topic of discussion, sent a statement to MTV about how he felt about the interview:

“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”

It’s been almost a year now and we hope that one day soon the two of them can put this all behind them and both have great careers and set an example for the youth of America, and the world.

Peace.
