Rihanna: Opens Up About Chris Brown Domestic Dispute

After months of not talking to the media (but often being photographed), Rihanna is finally opening up about her domestic abuse drama with boyfriend Chris Brown.

The 21-year-old Barbadian singer (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) is scheduled to appear on 'Good Morning America' Nov. 5 and Nov. 6 for an exclusive in-depth interview with veteran journalist Diane Sawyer. On the segments, she will reveal everything, from Brown being her "first big love" to how she has evolved over the last nine months.

Although the 'Good Girl Gone Bad' has experienced another level of media exposure since the Feb. 8 physical altercation, she is ready to move on with her career.

And there's no better way to make a comeback than to release a new music project on Nov. 23, titled 'Rated R.' In addition, the CoverGirl spokeswoman is being crowned as one of Glamour magazine's "Women of the Year. "

"It is an honor. The women who are being honored are all such great inspirations to me," she said. "I look up to them."

The multiplatinum-selling pop star told the women's fashion magazine how humiliated she felt about her photo (taken by police after Brown assaulted her) leaking online.

"It was humiliating. That is not a photo you would show to anybody," the singer expressed. "I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it's my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women."

In the future, Rihanna aspires to become an advocate for other women who may feel apprehensive about discussing domestic violence in public.

"Domestic violence is a big secret," she explained. "No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can't tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don't dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It's one of the things we [women] will hide, because it's embarrassing."

"My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery," she continued. "The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn't heard. Now I can help speak for those women."
