Rih-vealed

The beloved style icon and pop star that is Robyn Rihanna Fenty covers GQ mag this month and reveals more bout her life after "the incident" and her new album "Rated R". She is coming back harder and stronger this time around and is making it clear that she is not a "victim" but she is actually victorious. As you can see, she definitely revealing more than just information in this month's issue of the men's magazine, but hey, it IS a men's magazine, right? So it only makes sense, if only this was the only half naked spread she's done recently. You can see she is finally shedding that good girl image that lots of record execs favor with new artists and is feeling more and more comfortable in her own skin, especially when everyone is watching. Peep some of her interview below.


On her reaction to her face after "the incident":

"Initially. I would say the first…the first seventy-two hours after I realized, it hit. The entire thing was kind of a daze. I was confused. It was a little weird, but…but then, after, I was getting bored of being in the house and sittin’ around. I called Jay Brown—he’s my A&R—and I was like, “I want to get back to the studio. I want to get back.”

If she will ever speak to Chris Brown again:

"Mmm. Maybe in like ten years, you know? But it’s not something that I’m depending on. I’m not depending on his friendship".


What she would tell other victims of assault:
"Um…really really really that love is blind… After everything happened, it was a wake-up call to me… I didn’t realize how much of an effect it had on young girls’ lives, and that’s part of the insight that I wanna give. Stop blaming yourself for that outcome. There’s nothing you can do, ever, to excuse a man’s behavior like that."-


How her mentor helped her get through it all:

"Me and Jay-Z, we have a very close relationship, so he was there helping me through it and giving me advice and guidance, and just words of support. Like, strength".


On people's misperceptions about her:
"They just don’t understand me. I just think people straight up don’t know who I am; they just know what I look like, they know the idea of me. But—they’ll learn more this time, because now I let my guard down, and I’m more comfortable just being myself. That’s exactly what I want to be. And even on the album, you definitely get a gist of my personality".


On her cover shoot with GQ:
"It’s very sexy, yeah. At one point [chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group] L.A. Reid came into the shoot, and he was like, “Rihanna, put some fucking clothes on!”
