Rihanna Interview Part 2

Good Morning America gets props for getting absolutely the most mileage out of a celebrity interview.  Ever.

Here’s part two of the Rihanna interview that aired this morning.  The singer shares more of the details of what actually happened, such as witnessing Chris Brown’s soulless, blacked out eyes as he beat her — on the night of the Grammys.  The entire, uninterrupted interview will air tonight on 20/20.

  • I almost want to beat her for the way she speaks…she’s just painful to listen to. And, I dont feel like she’s being sincere – I think its all bullshit. It seems that she never had any epiphany with regards to leaving him – she did it based on what the public’s opinion of her would be if she didnt…

    But then, I do have a crusty black heart..so maybe its me. LOL

    • They speak a broken English mixed with African dialect in Barbados. That is probably why she speaks that way. Although Barbados offical language is English, proper English is not Rihanna’s first language. Give her a break.

      • Shut up. She has an accent, other than that her english is fine. I always find it hilarious, when north americans talk about people from the caribbean not speaking english well. Having an accent does not make you illiterate and backwards. Im sure that in Barbados they use the British school system, just like they do in Jamaica. It is a much more challenging education system. If you can afford to go to school you can speak english well. Rihanna went to school. There isnt anything wrong with her english. If your parents speak to you in french at home, and you have been going to school learning english since you were very young, you will not have any problems. It is the same for people who speak Patois at home.

      • it’s not the accent that is troubling, it’s the delivery, the word choices, the order of the words, the phrasing, the lack of complete sentences, and the long pauses between each word, the frequent punctuating giggles, not to mention the vacant expression and lack of focus in her eyes.

        she speaks dismissively, and with unconvincing righteousness, as though even she does not believe what she says.

        no, Rihanna’s English is not fine. her use of the language is almost as glaringly poor as Sarah Palin’s (particularly in the Part 1 clip from yesterday.)

        “I could not be easy with that.”

      • “the long pauses between each word….the vacant expression and lack of focus in her eyes.”

        Really? Have you no heart? She is discussing a deeply personal, deeply troubling, deeply painful issue and event. Do you speak perfectly when you discuss terribly painful occurrences? I doubt it. She is probably pausing to think about the best way to say what she wants to say, and furthermore to decide what she wants to say and how she really feels. She is probably pausing to fight back tears. So give her a break. As for her eyes, they are full of pain. When someone is in pain, they are bound to not have focused eyes. Give her a break, if you find fault in her communicating. Personally though, I see nothing wrong with it.

        But seriously, you are clearly missing the important parts of the interview if you are that hung up on little things.

      • I’ll shut up because you don’t agree with me- you go to hell for being such a big, loose, nasty asshole…how about that?

    • Omg, LOL @ all of this. I just came back to read and see the love.

      No, the accent isnt whats problematic – the fact that she’s an idiot is. Id like to think that if I had some HUGE interview coming up, Id make sure I was able to express myself appropriately. She failed.

      Again, I find it to be a whole bunch of PR bullshit.

  • I’m going to watch and listen to this interview in surround sound, with a Chris Brown CD playing in the background.

    • Oooo! You said a dickhead thing to get attention. Now, you’re probably waiting anxiously by your computer for someone to comment saying how mean you are. Well, today’s your lucky day. Go take care of your hard on now. Loser.

      • All good. I’m all but sure the ‘b’ stands for bitch. When you get a sense of humor or a sense of sarcasm, let’s talk.

      • Oh, please. Don’t act like what you said was “funny” or “sarcastic.” You were trying to get a rise out of people.

      • right on jenn b. why don’t we immediately take a vote to ban skeelo just like we got rid of others on this site that had an opinion that didn’t gel with the mainstream. that’s the democratic way!! isn’t that right, you smarmy cunt!?

  • Rihanna wants Brown to “just take this as something he had to go through to grow up and learn”?

    like falling out of a tree, or a skinned knee?

    no wonder her songs are so godawful. she’s delusional.

    well, she’ll probably sell a lot more of her bleating dreck albums with this forced publicity.

    too bad that what Rihanna passes off as “mewzik, nothing but the mewzik” punishes anyone within earshot of it.

  • Now we know what dead-pan lying looks like and matter how well rehearshed Ri-ri could never even do a remake of ‘Glitter’ to erase darlin’ Mimi’s stinko role from the mind … Hearing this Even Madge snorted with glee and broke out into contemptuous laughter at this farce, and said #^)*#^ Don’t Cry For Me Argentina? and Andrew Lloyd Webber is rotflmao! as J-Z & Beyonce grinned and said.. “OO-Ho there she’s dunzo!
    .

  • I got the same impression from the Rihanna interview that I did with the Whitney interview “She still loves him”. Disappointing. If I were either of them I would have made sure to ruin Chris/Bobby’s live. I wish the example Rihanna had set for young girls was to make sure he did some serious jail time. I hope they both find someone better to be with.

    • agreed regarding the jail time! excellent point. all rihanna did was selfish and foolish and gives the clear message: beat me up and get away with it! treat me badly and i’ll still love you! no big deal if you bloody me, you’re just growing up!

      chris brown is not the only one who has growing up to do. rihanna AND brown both need a reality check. their immature obsessive impulsive “love” relationship was/is a textbook play in childishness and weakness.

      so for some reason, the site/browser is not allowing input of usernames, thus, another “anonymous” post….by dolcevita.

  • wow, i can’t believe so many people are giving her so much shit about this. can you imagine how fucking hard it must be to publicly address this?? how embarrassing it must be to talk about the night someone you absolutely loved beat the shit out of you? and everyone saw?

    this girl just can’t win with you people. it’s either her fault, or her english sucks so you can’t take what she is saying seriously, or she is “delusional”, or it’s just for promotion for her new album, blahblahblah.

    this is a 21 year old girl who got the shit beat out of her by her boyfriend. it doesn’t matter who said what or who started the argument or how she feels about chris brown since the incident or since they broke up, or her fucking english.

    what he did was WRONG. and rihanna has some major balls to be able to sit in front of millions of people and talk about what was probably the most hurtful and most embarrassing moment of her life.

    give the girl a fucking break.

    • I agree! Thank you for saying that.

      And to the people who are freaking out about her English, I think her accent is beautiful, but even if you disagree, does not having perfect English mean she does not deserve respect? Does her accent and way of speaking make what Chris Brown did okay? Because it doesn’t and it shouldn’t. You need to rethink your priorities and morals.

    • i cant because she knew it was comin when she said and i repeat ” i saw no soul in his eyes he wasnt chris” well duh she saw and she got fucked up when he her i think she was so fuckin slow should have gotten out in the beginning

  • I THINK RIHANNA IS FULL OF IT, I AM NOT SAYING HE WASNT WRONG BUT SHE CAME OFF SELFISH AND BITTER, SHE COULD HAVE TAKEN THE HIGH ROAD. IT SEEMS LIKE SHE JUST TRYING TO GET PUBLICITY CAUSE HER ALBUM COMING OUT. PLEASE, SHE JUST SO SNOTTY. PEOPLE WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING

      • THAT IS SO FULL OF SHIT !!! she went though nothing she saw the damn signs she just to dumb to leave i so belive that this is not the 1st time she got her ass kicked. if she saw the pain in her mom ya think she can tell the difference between a abuser and a lover ya think!!!

        i can transform ya – i love this c brezzy song and rihanna Russia roule it kind emo

    • She is not trying to sell albums. She is trying to prevent other people from going through what she went through.

  • It’s sad to hear/see that she obviously still has feelings for him. Best friend or boyfriend…both do not beat you up. If someone beats you, s/he is not your friend. End of story.

    I guess it will just take her some more time to realize that, but with her busy schedule and what not I guess it is difficult to take your time to simply sit down and reflect about the things that have happened to you.

  • ok so we all know that chris brown was in the wrong when he hit her but she was too but here somethings i have to say to rihanna
    question : why does she has his phone you just dont go throu people shit and you kno iam right
    Statement #1: i quote she said ” i just kept pushing him until he told the truth” well hey you push him and he knock this shit out of her
    thing nuumber three : wtf is up wit da blonde hair and the matching blonde dress with the hair animal on her dress (werid Much)
    thing number 4: well all kno she looked fucked up like fa real really bad they did some good make-up on her huh!!!
    NOW I KNO the photos of her beating where real and all but my question is how does she heal so fast.
    ALL IAM SAYING IS TO THOSE WHO THINK SHE DID NUTTIN WRONG SHE DID AND HER AND CHRIS ARE BOTH AT WRONG I THINK SHE JUST TRYIN TO SCREW UP CHRIS LIFE NOW SHE SAID SHE WASNT BUT NOW SHE IS CHRIS HAS MOVED ON IN HER CARERR AND LIFE AND NOW RIHANNA HAS TO F IT UP. I ALSO THINK THEY THE PERFECT COUPLE THEY ARE BOTH F(&*KED UP AND BLONG TOGETHER.

  • y do yall believe evry thing yall hear? She makes it seems like she did nothin wrong tellin half truths n not da whole story. She shows up on national television nine months later after he apologizes. She ruined his career! He admited n owned up 2 wat he did so she should do the same. I kno damn well dat she did some horrible shit for him to react like dat!

  • “Nobody was there that night to witness what went on between riri and chris so there-for it isn’t fair to pick sides.I mean everybody is getting on chris brown’s case, but nobody every ask him did he get hit first they just took her side because she was the one with the bruises.I’m not trying to justify what did, however, I just highly doubt that she took all of those punches without doing anything too him.well, anyway I’m going to end this simply by saying that there’s two-sides to every story…so don’t judge unless you know all of the facts.”
