"That's embarrassing that that's they type of person I fell in love with" the singer told Diane Sawyer. "So far in love; so unconditional that I went back ... its humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? Its a traumatic mistake." "I'm a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal," she said. "All of these expectations, I'm not perfect."
