The first interview with Rihanna after being assaulted by Chris Brown will air this week on ABC.
Rihanna sat down for a one-on-one interview with Diane Sawyer which will air Thursday and Friday on Good Morning America and Friday night on 20/20.
Chris Brown was sentenced, of course, in August to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic-violence counseling after he pleaded guilty to felony assault.
Rihanna is getting back into the public eye to promote her new single, Russian Roulette, from her upcoming album, Rated R, out Nov. 23.
The beautiful star also appears on the cover of this month’s Glamour, where she discusses the healing process.
“The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from (me),” she says in the article. “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.”
She’ll be honored Monday by Glamour Magazine as their choice for Glamour Woman of the Year its gala awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall.
