Rihanna graces the cover of the February issue of W Magazine, and even though I wish she'd change her hair color, she still looks absolutely amazing in these shots. Rihanna chats with the publication about her new album, Chris Brown and her image, and even though she's received criticism for waiting too long to speak out, she does make for an interesting read.
So what made her decide to finally come forward and talk about her horrific beating, which occurred nearly a year ago? “Not talking was a big thing for me," she says. "I’m glad I didn’t talk to people, because I was able to deal with things in my own way, without saying the wrong things or giving people the wrong impression.”
On her album being like therapy for her, Rihanna says, “It was really personal; it was from me in the most authentic way. It’s like a movie, in that when I was making this album, every day I was in a different mood. Sometimes I was pissed off, sometimes I was miserable, and every song brings out a different story.” Rihanna continues, “I started to go crazy after about a month in the house, so I went back to work, and the mic was my therapist. With the mic, there were no negative comments, no negative energy.”
Though Rihanna is trying to push the negative energy out of her life, she is able to reflect on her relationship with Chris Brown with a renewed sense of clarity. “There were control issues, insecurity,” she says. “When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”
If only she'd change that damn hair of hers!
