Rihanna has been in the news constantly since being assaulted by then boyfriend Chris Brown.

This raised many issues in her life, and in the world, with domestic abuse being at an all time high. Now, for the first time since the incident, Rihanna will speak candidly about what happened the night she was beaten by Brown, and how her life has changed since, on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer this Friday.

She recently opened up to Glamour magazine, saying “I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day… 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.”

Rihanna is also being honored at Glamour’s annual Women of the Year event in New York on Monday.

Will you watch Rihanna on 20/20??
