Bravo: Respect! Rihanna, your interview about Chris Brown was really brave. But his friends don’t agree and say that you are a liar.
Rihanna: This doesn’t shock me at all. I know these people and you know what: Up yours! I gave this interwiev, because I want to encourage girls who have gone trough such hard times like me. I do not want to destroy Chris’ career or make mine “higher”, because this is a relieve for me. Now I look forward and I will enjoy my life.
Bravo: Your outfits are hotter then never, with a see-through blouse or half naked. Are you looking for a new man right now?
Rihanna: (laughs) I love flirting at the moment. I’m single and I’m enjoying my freedom. (If Chris read this, he will be jealous as hell)
Bravo: You are the most wanted single woman in this world right now. Don´t you get many phone calls from men who wanna go out with you?
Rihanna: No calls, because I don´t give my phone number out that often. But if I’m dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom. (giggles)
Bravo: What does a guy have to have to impress/get you?
Rihanna: (laughs) He has to be good in bed and the size matters.
Bravo: Excuse me?
Rihanna: You got what I mean. The inner beauty counts as well, but without toy, it doesn’t make fun. Right now I don’t want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun.
Bravo: What’s your favourite flirt right now?
Rihanna: Well there’s this actor, his name is Jesse Williams (28), he played in “Grey´s Anatomy” and I have him in my music video for “Russian Roulette”. He’s soooo hot!
Bravo: Are your clothes always that sexy or do you like to wear casual at home?
Rihanna: (laughs) To be honest, I’m even hotter at home, because I´m always naked there. I’m from Barbados, that’s quite normal there. My pool boy saw me naked 5 times already.
Bravo: He must be the luckiest man in the world…
Rihanna: (laughs) Yeah, at first it was so embarrassing. I always forget when he comes. I’m so confused when I have a day off, I usually sleep until noon and when I wake up, I don´t even know what day it is. But he’s used to this view now. I even told my assistent to text me when he comes: “Rihanna get dressed, the pool boy is here”!
Bravo: Are there days where you don’t feel that confortable?
Rihanna: Yes, of course. Everyone knows that, especially we girls. Some days I just feel fat, bloated and bitchy. Those are my “ugly days”.
Bravo: And even then you look so perfect, how is this possible?
Rihanna: I shouldn’t tell you that, but in those days, I wear something that hides my stomach, under my outfit. I feel more confortable with it.
Bravo: You are a style icon for years, who is your style icon?
Rihanna: Cruella de Vil, the bad lady from “101 Dalmatians”. Her style is edgy, dark and hot. Exactly what I love.
Comments
If anyone still would like to berate, hound and otherwise make Chris Brown’s life and career miserable because of an admitted “mistake” that he is currently paying the price for (for now and many years to come most likely), then they should spread the hate around then. And there’s plenty of spreading to do!
If we are all supposed to hate on and boycott Chris Brown, then let’s add these other celebrities to the list also: r&b singer JOE; rapper DR. DRE; actor/singer TERRENCE HOWARD; actor/talent judge DAVID HASSELHOFF; actor CHRISTIAN BALE; singer PAUL MCCARTNEY; actor WESLEY SNIPES (beat actress Halle Berry); actor TOM SIZEMORE; actor BILL MURRAY; football player SEAN MERRIMAN; christian singer BEBE WINANS; “Soul Train” host DON CORNELIUS; “Girls Gone Wild” founder JOE FRANCIS; child actor GARY COLEMAN; singer AXL ROSE; basketball players DELONTE WEST & DENNIS RODMAN; singer BOBBY BROWN; singer TYRESE (accused of Punching Pregnant Girlfriend); singer JAMES BROWN; actor DARIUS MCCRARY (Eddie Winslow from “Family Matters”); singer SCOTT STAPP (Creed); sports announcer JIM LAMPLEY; baseball player DMITRI YOUNG and the list goes on & on & on…
I can’t EVER remember a celebrity who has done such a wrong and then has humbly, vulnerably, and sacrificially put all that he has/is at the feet of the pitchforked and heavily opinionated, fickle public. And he’s doing it all at just 20 years old. This young man really is a MAN - who had a moment! And now he’s coming back to himself - renewed and retooled. As long as he continues to show and prove (and not continually apologize) his willingness and ability to change, learn and grow from the “incident”, then he will have my $15 on 12/08/09 and my continued support and prayers (and Rihanna too!).
Like I’ve said before, I am so very proud of both Chris Brown and Rihanna for speaking out on the heinous crime of domestic violence - no matter the why’s, how’s and when’s of it all. We VERY RARELY get to hear from the abuser concerning his (or her) contribution to the “incident”, how he feels about it, his remorse, his conviction of the crime, and his pennance to right the wrongs. What’s even better here in the Chris Brown / Rihanna saga is that we also get to see the transgressor (Chris Brown) redeem himself in a VERY public fashion by pleading for forgiveness (over & over & over…) and the opportunity for redemption.
Wow just wow @ Rihanna's comments in this interview. this is so not a good look for her, she sounds like she's playing games, showing her body to make chris jealous. that has got to be the stupiest comment ever considering all that has happened btw those two, i mean isn't jealousy what started the whole mess??? she sounds like she still cares alot about what chris thinks. she is really feeling herself and so not in a good way. i mean what's up sounding like she is deliberatly parading around naked for her pool guy...so confused with riri right now.
@Cami...I agree...if the translation is true to form...Rihanna seems to be very whimsical and totally opposite of what she presented in her 20/20 sitdown in this interview...this truly feeds my belief that if the media would not have made the assault such a spectacle...she probably would have remained together or at least platonic friends.
I'm glad they have separated because they need to just be young and not have such a serious relationship to where either one is obsessive over the other.
@Beauty U MUST WORK FOR CHRIS BROWN TEAM BECAUSE U ARE ON EVERY BLOG SAYING THIS RUBBISH CB IS COWARD AND A BASTARD FOR WHAT HE DID PLAIN AND SIMPLE. HE DESERVES JAIL TIME, U KNOW MISTAKE IS WHEN U ORDER THE WRONG ITEM NOT CHOKING, BEATING AND BITING A WOMAN. HE IS A PUNK B*TCH
Some of you Rihanna stans need to get a damn grip. She's moving on and so should you and not missing a beat. Chris was sentenced and is doing his mandated time, probation, cs, and dv classes. He's working with the disabled and domestic violence centers. Part of his proceeds from his tour are going to those groups.
He's accepted full responsibility for his actions. If it's not good enough for you crabs... too bad. I'm sick of you fools running all over the place with this year old crap.
He's going one with his life, with the help of his family, friends and fans his career is coming back. If you are God then you can judge, other than that...Get a doggone life.
is this real??? smh at rihanna..this is so embarassing...what a role model indeed!! smh
WOW! She has alota nerve to actually say that...Role model? haha yea right. this chick just wants more ppl to feel bad for her and make Chris Look bad...she doing a good job at makin herself look like a damn FOOL!
Such a role model! At least the young women that she is a voice for know what to look for in a man!!
What more do the media and gossip blogs want from this young man who seem to have the weight of the world on his shoulders.He's accepted his punishment and judging from his first progress report with the judge on November, 19 who said the probation department gave him a extremely favorable report, that was excellent. Meaning not like so many celebrities he's taking this seriously.Chris Brown has some mountains in his life right now but before long he will be able to see over those mountains. My only concern with Rihanna is that now with her new album or CD coming out she seem to be so vocal.Eight months ago she didn't have a lot to say and in one of the interview she said that she wasn't a victim but we all know what has been said in the media and on tv regarding her being one and the spokesperson. Rihanna can't sit before millions of people on tv being a victim and then before a radio audience state that she's not.Now she want people to know that she miss him and listens to his songs!
Is this interview for real! Oh I'm so glad I don't have any daughters for her to be a role model. I wonder how Diane Sawyers and Glamour Magazine is feeling after reading this. I can't believe this, she made a fool out of a lot of people which is probably why chris brown's people have said what they said about her. Well, one thing for sure the truth will come out. Abuse is wrong but lying to make yourself look better because his career is back in motions. I had read before that she was more jealous of him than he of her. I guess in her words she don't want to kill his career, omg you threw him under the bus and had them back up on him. I see a pattern here. After the 20/20 and the new single Russian Roulette debut at billboard 100 stayed there for about a week went all the way to #9 after 4 weeks has gone to #16, had the # 1 itune download pop charts has gone to # 9, chris brown still has the # 1 itunes for r&b it seem like when he's out selling her, well people you know the rest!
wow, shes a role model to young girls in the respect that she spoke out about what happened to her back in feb. but her saying how she parades around naked for her pool boy, and saying that outward appearances/size of a mans penis is what counts IS NOT so role-model ish...if i had kids, i wouldnt want her to be their role models...even the way she dresses is wayyy to revealing. SMDH
I don't think this is authentic....
The above interview conducted by Bravo Magazine is authentic. Rihanna provided the interview word for word while in Germany at the Hyatt Hotel.
