Rihanna has slowly been revealing the details of her abusive relationship with Chris Brown, and on 20/20 Friday she speaks about the assault itself, saying, “He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him.” Of the origins of their notorious fight, the singer said, “I couldn't take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it. … It escalated into him being violent towards me. … I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face." Since the very public conflict Rihanna has been speaking out against domestic violence and has split from Brown. "He didn't accept that very well. Obviously he didn't want us to be apart. But I had to make a decision for me,” she said. (People)
