Rihanna really opens up about her relationship with on-again, off-again boyfriend, Chris Brown, in the Feb. 14 issue of ‘Rolling Stone.’ In the most revealing part of the interview, the ‘Unapologetic’ singer admits the real reason she broke up with Chris after he assaulted her — and it might not be what you think.

When Rihanna, 24, and Chris Brown, 23, attend the Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 10, it will mark the four year anniversary since Chris assaulted Rihanna after a Grammys pre-party. She’s revealing for the first time what happened after that fateful night.

Soon after the assault, Chris Brown was convicted of two felonies, and the couple split. Most assumed that Rihanna’s decision to break up with Chris was simply because he put his hands on her, along with his obvious anger management issues.

The Real Reason Rihanna Dumped Chris Brown

But Rihanna’s telling Rolling Stone magazine otherwise.

“I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me,” Rihanna says in the interview, “To feel the consequences of that.”

In the interview, the self-proclaimed “bad girl” seems less concerned with Chris’ unbelievably violent actions towards her. Instead, she was concerned that his heart wasn’t in the right place. He was taking her for granted, and the only way to make him realize how much he actually needed her was to cut him loose.

Did The Breakup Work As Rihanna Planned?

According to Rihanna, she never expected the romance to actually flame up again.

“When that sh*t came back” — meaning love — “It hit me like a ton of bricks. Like, God, you’ve got to be kidding me right now. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn’t bury the way I felt.”

We take it that the breakup worked — it snapped Chris into shape. So while many are looking down on Rihanna for taking back Chris, she seems very happy and confident with the decision — and she’s keeping him on a much shorter leash this time around: “He doesn’t have the luxury of f**king up again. That’s just not an option.”

So what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is Rihanna making a mistake by getting back together with Chris Brown?

If I were rihanna. I would have grown mad at chris brown because he has no right to beat her up and spoil her face like that! I would say”that’s too bad” well it shows rihanna’s got a big heart for her to say she only dumped him because she wanted him to feel the pain of losing her and her worth In his life..she never even mentioned anything about the beating! Whoa..that’s kinda weird!

Rihanna is doing the right thing I’m proud of her she’s one of the woman that don’t take crap off a man

She don’t take crap but she sure knows how to take a beat.

She’s got to be kidding!!I thought it was just a minor punch but is clearly very outregous from wat happen in the car….it makes me sick and is very painful for a girl like rihanna going thru all dat crap in the car with a beast called chris d whole drama just came from just a text is nothing wrong for wat rihanna did she should hav warn brown to stay away frm her….he almost killed her in the car she was just saved by GOD there is no f**king luv u got from such person she has to get real….de can still be frds…..is nobodies buiness

What really gets me is some of these womens’ bad taste in men. Nothing to do with him nearly beating her to death over an arguement in the car. But just his general lack of personality and not having a genuine bone in his body. Is she blind? Shaking my head.

I honestly believe it’s the right thing I know that love like theirs would always find a way

they are young and they will find there way. If rihann had a chance to break away from chris on her own, than maybe a different story but so many people telling her to leave him. It just wasn’t her time. Let be and let live.

When you? see them commenting! You’ll know them!!!The weak-can never FORGIVE!=FORGIVNESS is the ATTRIBUTE-of-the-strong!!!!!!!!

thats bibical ! forgiving!

No matter what you guys say, Ri wont changed her mind she believes Chris changed let her.Its her life not yours.If she is making a bad choice she is gonna realize. People stop getting in her personal life.Just Stop!!!!!
