Chris Brown on his assault on Rihanna: "She hit me and I hit her"
The singer has just presented a documentary about his life where he talks about the relationship he had with pop star Rihanna. Specifically, he has commented on the violent episode that the two starred in in 2009.
Chris Brown (28) has spoken again about the violent episode he starred in with Rihanna (29), then his girlfriend, in a documentary about his life, Chris Brown: Welcome to my life.
The singer talks about both the start and development of their relationship and the incident that occurred in February 2009 after attending the Clive Davis Grammy, a night in which the two had a fight that ended with Rihanna's lip being broken.
After that moment, the singer's career went into a tailspin while public opinion was on him. "I went from being on top of the world, having number ones, being kind of America's good boy, to being public enemy number one."
The beginning was a 'fairy tale'
The singer has commented that they met in 2004, at a concert that Rihanna was celebrating in New York, when the singer was only 16 years old. "I was like, 'Man, I want to meet her! I've seen her videos of her and I love her.'"
From that moment both connected and soon began a romance that was followed by all the American and international media. "The feeling of being together was so powerful that it was even dangerous, man," says the actor in part of the clip. At that time "we were on top of the world" They were young, famous: "We had the life of rock stars with 16-17 years, that was dangerous! Because you could do whatever you wanted," adds the singer.
However, he does not hesitate to ensure that the relationship was "like a fairy tale". Brown claims to have been "really in love" and even intending to marry Rihanna.
A woman, the cause of the fight
However, all this changed when the singer learned that Chris Brown had had a relationship with a woman before meeting her. The problem? Was a
According to Chris Brown, this marked a before and after in the relationship. "He lost confidence in me and hated me after that," says the rapper. He assures that the relationship deteriorated so much that they even got into verbal and physical fights. "She hit me and I hit her, and she was never okay," he added.
From outside the bad situation of the couple was not visible. They continued to appear on the main covers as one of the fashion couples.
However, everything changed in February 2009, when the couple went to the Clive Davis Grammy, where the woman with whom Brown had had sex approached the two. About to start the ceremony, Brown recalls, Rihanna "was crying." "She started drinking a little bit, we both drank a little bit, laughing, joking around. And then we left," she says.
That same night, the straw that broke the camel's back was the text message from the woman that Rihanna discovered on Chris Brown's phone. "She started hitting me. I remember she tried to kick me, but then I hit her, with a clenched fist, I punched her. I broke her lip," she said. "When I saw it, she was in shock. Why the hell did I hit her?" Chris lamented.
He claims that he currently regrets the incident, a fight that "will haunt him forever." And so it was, since after the incident the one that went from occupying number one to having the doors of the record companies closed. According to the singer, it was a very hard moment for him: "I felt like a fucking monster. I thought about suicide and all that. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep," he adds.
