Rihanna confirms Chris Brown bit her during brutal assault
When is abuse justified?
Well Rihanna has finally spoken out about her abuse from Chris Brown that was only exposed on February 7, 2009 in a bitter feud that was by far the biggest abuse scandal on 2009. Their whole fight tore Hollywood and the entertainment industry into taking sides with one or the other.
With talkshow queen Oprah going on a rampage telling Rihanna that: "When a man hits you once he will hit you again."Actor Jamie Fox said: "No man should ever put their hands on you."
And fans poured out their messages telling her she deserved better and needs to leave and not stay but to save herself from a death sentence.
Her father flew to her rescue to speak to Brown and release Riri from the situation, but in this interview it turns out that her father is not as "heroic" as the role he played in the debacle because according to his daughter "he used to abuse her mother too".
"He used to beat her, I swore never to date or be with a man like my father," said Rihanna to Sawyer.
But despite all of this, she chose to go back to the same Brown who had attepted to hit her twice before the incident, to what she said must have been an "obsession with him".
Her father is the big shock of this whole interview for me, here I thought a good dad would protect his daughter from such men, mean while he is of the same as those men while back at the ranch he was doing exactly the same thing to his woman (Rihanna's mother).

Rihanna has told how Chris Brown had "no soul in his eyes" on the night he left her bloodied and battered in a terrifying domestic assault.
The singer described how a row over a text message that she found on Brown's mobile phone escalated into a violent row, and the only thought in her mind was: "When is it going to stop?"
Despite her ordeal, Rihanna, 21, said she still loved Brown and wished him well.
In the second excerpt from her NBC Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna explained how events unfolded as the couple drove home from a Grammy Awards party in Los Angeles in February.
She found a message from another woman on his phone and confronted him about it.
"I caught him in a lie and he wouldn't tell the truth. I wouldn't drop it," she recalled. "I couldn't take that he kept lying to me and he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it because obviously his back was up against the wall, the truth was right here in the text message.
"So it escalated into him being violent towards me and it was ugly."
Brown smashed her head against the window, bit her and punched her in the face, leaving her with a mouthful of blood.
She said: "That's all I kept thinking, the whole time: when is it going to stop, when is it going to stop? He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blanked out. There was no person when I looked at him."
When the attack was over and Brown stopped the car, she was faced with what to do next. "I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face. There was no way of me getting home except my next option, which was to get out of the car and start walking, in a gown and with a bloody face."
Rihanna said the couple had enjoyed a very intense relationship. "He was definitely my first love. We were best friends, we fell in love with each other. To fall in love with your best friend can be scary. We just fell really fast. The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other, equally as dangerous, because it was a bit of an obsession, almost."
The singer returned to Brown after the assault but she left him eventually because she did not want young fans to see her as a role model and stay with their violent partners. Despite everything, Rihanna said she does not hate Brown.
"The love doesn't go away right away, you know. He didn't accept that very well. Obviously he didn't want us to be apart but I knew I had to make a decision for me," she said.
"No, I don't hate him at all. I actually love and care about him and I'm concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up and just take this as something that he had to go through to grow up and learn." - Telegraph
