it takes a lot of strength to speak out on what happen to you . and its extra hard when it happen like it did to riri, the world was seeing a photo of her face all bruised and swollen it took all that she had to step up to the plate and speak on it. a lot of people wait for ever because of all kinds of reasons shame, hurt feelings, and ashamed because it happen to them. i love how she was straight forward and to the point, i could see and feel her emotions and that was very deep , but at the end of the day she will feel better with the weight of the situation out there and off her shoulder she showed strength and she showed the human side of herself, and the way that she persented herself spoke volume..

another thing that i see is good about riri speaking on it is theres a lot of people who was trying their level best to make riri not be a vvictim and blaming her for what happen to her and that was so wrong. and she has held her peace while all the time getting torn to pieces by people who dislike her and that had to be hard but through it all i know that her and god was how she has made it this far . theres a lot of people who drift off in to a dark pit and never come out and i am glad that she has had her music to help her along the way. people has attacked her unfairly in the past year and that has been hard just reading the dirty, nasety comments about her and i felt really bad and it happen to riri it has been so unfair. now that she has spoken on it then people is still trying to find something negative to say but it will not work they have worked overtime to try and destroy this artist and i am so glad that she finally spoke on that dreadful dark night, on a dard street back in feb. not that its out it will help shine a brighter lifht on dv, and like she said its not often talked about that is something that the victims tries to forget about but thank god rihanna spoke out good for her..

Rihanna looks beautiful. OMFG. But, I wish she would change her hair color. It kind of washes her out. Jet black hair brings out her beautiful features more. I love this chick.
