No, truth be told, this is probably the most candid Rihanna's ever been, talking about hooking up, race-faker Rachel Dolezal, and yes, Chris Brown. Say what?
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, and referencing the Chris Brown assault and taking him back after everything went down, Rihanna says, "I was that girl. That girl who felt that as much pain as this relationship is, maybe some people are built stronger than others."
"Maybe I’m one of those people built to handle s--t like this." she continues. "Maybe I’m the person who’s almost the guardian angel to this person, to be there when they’re not strong enough, when they’re not understanding the world, when they just need someone to encourage them in a positive way and say the right thing.”
But hey, did she seriously think she could change him? Yes. "A hundred percent." she says. "I was very protective of [Chris]. I felt that people didn’t understand him. Even after … But you know, you realize after a while that in that situation you’re the enemy. You want the best for them, but if you remind them of their failures, or if you remind them of bad moments in their life, or even if you say I’m willing to put up with something, they think less of you—because they know you don’t deserve what they’re going to give."
"And if you put up with it," she muses, "maybe you are agreeing that you [deserve] this, and that’s when I finally had to say, ‘Uh-oh, I was stupid thinking I was built for this.’ Sometimes you just have to walk away.”
About Chris and their messed-up relationship, she concludes, “I don’t hate him. I will care about him until the day I die. We’re not friends, but it’s not like we’re enemies. We don’t have much of a relationship now.”
Rihanna also speaks out about collaborating with Eminem on the loaded “Love the Way You Lie” -- a dysfunctional relationship anthem. She says, " ... The lyrics were just so true to what I felt and couldn’t say to the world at that time.”
Later, she spoke about Rachel Dolezal, who she calls a 'hero'. "I think [Dolezal] was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit," Rihanna says. "Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up.”
Right.
In conclusion, sex -- and just how much she's not getting. "If I wanted to [engage in one-night stands ] I would completely do that,” she says. “I am going to do what makes me feel happy, what I feel like doing. But that would be empty for me; that to me is a hollow move. I would wake up the next day feeling like s--t."
So there you have it, folks ... Rihanna in a nutshell, like never before -- and honestly, though we're kind of repelled by some of the things she said, we have to give her credit for being so damn honest. It's pretty much unheard of these days.
