Rihanna: He Had No Soul in His Eyes

During a segment on Good Morning America, Rihanna opened up to Diane Sawyer and talked about the abuse she endured from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

On what happened the night he attacked her:

“I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn’t tell the truth. And I wouldn’t drop it. 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 and it was ugly.”

On what she was thinking during that time:

He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him. I was battered. I was bleeding. I was swollen in my face. There was no way of me getting home. My next option was to get out the car and start walking in a gown and a bloody face. So I really don’t know what was my plan. I didn’t have a plan.”

On how she feels about Chris now:

“I don’t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him and I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up, and just take this as something that you had to go through to grow up and learn.”
