Rihanna Hopes To Help Victims Of Domestic Violence
November 3, 2009
Rihanna's rocky relationship with Chris Brown may be over but the "Umbrella" singer is just starting to talk about her experience with domestic violence.
"My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery," Rihanna says in the December issue of Glamour. The 21-year-old songstress was assaulted by her Chris in February during a spat.
"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."
And as a victim of domestic violence, Rihanna says she was upset that a photo of her bruised face became public. "That is not a photo you would show to anybody," she said. "I felt completely taken advantage of ... like people were making it into a fun topic ... and it's my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women."
Of the assault and its aftermath, Rihanna — whose new album Rated R debuts this month — says, "It has taught me so much."

Why do all celebrities have to do this? "Help" others! Please! Just do your job. You're NOT qualified to "HELP" others. You couldn't even "HELP" yourself!
