Rihanna has this week discussed the positive outcomes of the assault she suffered at the hands of former boyfriend Chris Brown. The Barbadian star, who suffered physical abuse before a Grammy Awards warm-up party in 2009, said that the incident has been “liberating”, helping her to improve her music.
Speaking to Vogue Magazine, she said: "It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories."
She continued: "It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly superduper magnified; all eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F*ck off!'"
The singer went on to discuss her appearance, which suffered public comment late last year when naked pictures of the star appeared online. She said: "I realized that I actually like my body, even if it's not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don't want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it's not unhealthy, so I'm going to rock with it".
