Rihanna on GMA with Diane Sawyer
Examiner.com

Rihannna is finally opening up the past year and the abuse she suffered at the hand of Chris Brown. The singer, 21, tells Diane Sawyer in an interview airing on Good Morning America this Thursday and 20/20 this Friday, "this happened to me...it can happen to anyone." Rihanna calls Brown her "first big love" and says that her tie to him is what made this entire thing so unbearable. 

Rihanna is also on the cover of Glamour's December issue. Inside, she talks about how the media frenzy surrounding her turned her into someone she didn't recognize. She says, ""I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn't heard."

She continues: “My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.”

“I am stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.”

“I’ve put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. [My new album] is super fearless—which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.”

The singer will be honored at an event for the magazine on Monday,
