RIHANNA says Chris Brown was like a different person on the night he beat her.
In a 20/20 interview airing Friday, the Umbrella hitmaker says Brown was “blank” and “blacked out” during the altercation.
“It wasn’t the same person that says I love you. It was not those … eyes,” the singer, 21, says. “He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank… He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.”
She says all she kept thinking was, “When is it going to stop? When is it going to stop?”
The fight, the star says, started when Brown received a text message from another woman while they were driving away from a Grammy Awards party.
“I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn’t tell the truth. And I wouldn’t drop it,” Rihanna said.
“I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it … It escalated into him being violent towards me. And it was ugly.”
Despite Brown’s public apology to his ex-girlfriend — via an Internet video — last July, Rihanna says she never really forgave him.
“I just said to him, ‘I can’t do this.’ I resented him,” she says. “I always put the tough face on and try to, I can do anything face, and just try to play it off. But he knew.”
She admits that she lied to him after the February incident, claiming she didn’t hate him. “He kept asking me, ‘You hate me, don’t you?’” Rihanna says. “And I would lie and I would say, ‘No, no.’ And… I did hate him. Everything about him annoyed me.”
