Rihanna opens up about her relationship with Brown

Rihanna has for the first time opened up regarding her fight with ex-partner Chris Brown that ended her relationship with him.

The 22-year-old singer was beaten black and blue by Brown after she allegedly questioned him about a text messages which he received from an ex-girlfriend, Contactmusic reported.

Though Rihanna has spoken little about the incident, Brown who is still serving community service for his gruesome actions was found guilty of assaulting his then-partner.

The `Umbrella` hitmaker stated that she felt like “an empty vessel” for days following the ugly break-up but insisted that the violent run-in with her ex has transformed her to better person.

“I couldn`t have been the woman I am, the friend, or the sister or the artist, or the role model I am today if I didn`t go through what I went through.”

“It`s scary; you just lose touch of everything that you love and everything that you would normally do; how you would dress or how you would say something. I needed that wake-up call in my life. That was the only way I would have gotten out of that relationship”, she said.

Rihanna who is presently dating Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player Matt Kemp, 26 said that she is very much in love.
