Rihanna Still Loves Chris Brown

Rihanna’s full interview with Oprah aired yesterday. As expected, she made it clear that she still loves Chris Brown even though she punched her in the face a couple times.

She tells Oprah that they’re not seeing each other but have been “working on our friendship again and now we’re very, very close friends. We built up a trust again. And that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will.” I just put my face in my palms and let out a groan. Anyway, some more revelations about her relationship with Chris via Washington Post.

— The “Battleship” star acknowledged that Brown is in a relationship and that she is single. But she also admitted that, as rumored, they recently reunited in St. Tropez. “It’s awkward because I still love him,” she said of seeing Brown again. “My stomach drops, and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me.”

— When Winfrey asked if Brown was a true love her for her, Rihanna responded, “Absolutely. I think that he was the love of my life. He was my first love and I see that he loved me the same way.”

— Rihanna said she was “angry” and “resentful” for a long time before she ultimately forgave Brown for hitting her. She said she was able to grant that forgiveness after she resolved issues with her own father, who she implied was occasionally violent with her mother.

On the flip side, good news Chris Brown. If you still want to get back with Rihanna and you’re worried that you scared her off by repeatedly smashing your fist into her face that one time, don’t worry. It’s all good it seems.
