Rihanna speaks to Diane Sawyer about physical abuse

November 5, 2009 @ 9:32 pm

This morning, Good Morning America (ABC) aired a special exclusive interview with Rihanna about her relationship with Chris Brown and the physical abuse she suffered while dating him. This morning’s segment was a mere 5 minutes but it reveals a lot already about Rihanna’s thought patterns and how she didn’t even realize that she was in a destructive relationship until it was too late. The full episode will air tomorrow night on 20/20 but for now, you can see a sneak peek of it in the video above. [via]

PS: I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard Rihanna speak. I’ve known her music and her singing voice for so long that it’s a bit weird to hear her just speaking normally. But good for her for getting this message out. Tune in to 20/20 tomorrow to see the entire interview with Diane Sawyer.

The Challenge Your World 20/20 is a series of 20 videos each year that showcase a wild invention that can somehow solve environmental issues the world is facing. The inventions can be absolutely ridiculous and don’t have to be actual products which explains why the video above gets away with such hilarious suggestions.
