Rihanna: Chris Brown “Was Love of My Life” — But We’re Just “Friends” (VIDEO)

Rihanna had a lot more to say about Chris Brown on “Oprah’s Next Chapter” than was revealed in the previews.

In addition to opening up about their tumultuous 2009 split and reminiscing about the “good memories” they shared, Rihanna also shed light on where their relationship stands today.

As Gossip Cop has reported time and again, Rihanna and Brown are NOT back together.

Rather, “We’re very, very close friends,” Rihanna told Oprah, going on to point out that Brown is “in a relationship of his own” with Karrueche Tran, while she’s “single.”

Still, Rihanna admitted that she and her ex have been “working on our friendship again.”

“We built a trust again and that’s it,” she explained, adding, “We love each other and we probably always will.”

The singer continues, “That’s not something you can change. That’s not something you can shut off, if you’ve ever been in love.”

So, how exactly did Rihanna and Brown become friends again?

Since the songstress’ restraining order against Brown was dropped, she revealed, they have been working on their friendship “little by little” — but it “hasn’t always been easy.”

“It’s awkward” when the two see each other, Rihanna said, revealing her “stomach drops” and she has to “maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me.”

“I still love him,” Rihanna said point-blank, later adding, “I think he was the love of my life.”

    I respect her honesty. People are gonna bash her and call her a “bad role model” but she’s human. She has her own life that she doesn’t live for a fan base and I don’t think that its anyones place to “diagnose” her with some kind of illness. Young people should be taught to separate their love for celebrities from reality, because realistically, what we see of them isn’t reality. We’ll never know what happened between Rihanna and Chris. And that’s fine, because its no ones business but theirs. I wish Rihanna the best.

    She said what most people say about their exes. Nothing out of the ordinary. It’s not uncommon to feel nostalgic about a major love. She cares about him as a person even if she’s not in love with him. It’s obvious she’s moved on for some time now. I absolutely LOVE what she said about how she wants her man to treat her. Rihanna’s self esteem has increased exponentially over the years. I’m proud of her, she’s come a LONG way since the incident. It’s not easy to be humiliated in front of the whole world and still bounce back. You can see she’s become stronger and more sure if herself now more than ever. I hope she finds the guy she’s dreaming of. She deserves it!

    I think it became relevant to the public when the black and blue photo’s of her face appeared in the press.

  • Anonymous

    I thought this site was about busting bad gossip, not advertising for Oprah.

    But it wasn’t her fault. Those pictures shouldn’t even surfaced. Wasn’t it the cops or someone in the law department that slipped then out?

    The public actually does know what happened, because details of the police report were reported in the press. It also wasn’t the first time he beat her either. I think the whole thing is sad and that she still has the mindset of a victim. It’s hard for someone in her position to not be a role model to people because fans choose who they look up to. It’s unfortunate that she still has feelings for someone who abused her and treated her so poorly.

  • Therapist

    It sounds to me like they’re laying the groundwork for getting back together.
    Just sayin’.

    I think Rihanna being so honest about what is going on with Chris Brown, and her feelings was right on point. To above posters, you are correct. The reason the pictures were leaked to the public, was due to, someone in the police leaking them. If those photos have never been leaked, no one would have never know what she looked. Again I have said it plenty of time on other sites. We will never know what went down that night between the two of them. The only people that will ever know the truth, are Chris & Rihanna.

    You can always still love your “FIRST” love rather than being “IN LOVE” with them. If Chris & Rihanna get back together, it’s no ones business but their own. People need to realize this. Some people will say ” Oh she is crazy, to be even friend with him, after what happened!” But who are we to judge. Like she said ” The two of them are taking things slow, rebuilding their friendship.” I trust and believe that this young woman knows what she is doing, and will always have her guards up to some point while being around Chris, until she feels she has nothing to worry about ever.

    I’m so sick of the comments, “Once a beater, always a beater” or “once a cheater, always a cheater.” People can and do change. People sometimes grow up in dysfunctional homes and are just repeating the way to handle stress and problems as was demonstrated to them by their parents/guardians. He’s had anger management therapy and I’m sure plenty of therapy. Now he has a skill set to help him deal with his anger in ways other than hitting. She was the one who was beaten, not us. If she can forgive, then who is anyone else to judge? Geez, isn’t there enough hatred in the world already?

    I thought her comments were very honest and heartfelt. Kudos Rihanna for being so brave, especially knowing that there are going to be those who criticize your opinions and decisions..

    Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown’s cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.
    “A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.
    “Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.
    “Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the sh– out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’
    ” The detective said “Robyn F.” then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.
    “Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’ After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!’
    “Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.
    “Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.
    “Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.
    “Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.
    “Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.
    “Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.
    “She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown’s body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.
    “Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.’s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.

    Love Rihanna and it truly made me sick my stomach to hear her say that she still loved that douche, but I love her honesty in this interview. Hopefully she’ll find someone that will make her forget all about that douche bag Chris Brown

    I was glad to catch this interview by Oprah. I love how Oprah interviews and anticipated the information she would get from Rihanna. I don’t know how she could bring herself to still be friends with Chris, as she informed in this interview last night. I was glad that I didn’t miss this episode of Oprah’s Next Chapter, thanks to the suggestion of a Dish coworker. In fact, I recorded it on my Hopper so I knew I wouldn’t miss it. I loved that when I played back the recording I was able to start watching in my living room and continue where I left off from any TV in the house. I loved the convenience of not missing a minute and also being able to get work done while I watched.

  • fact

    yeah, their just friends who fuck occasionally.

  • 100% Amazing

    Must have been tough being away from LOVE for so long. But Oprah did it… and a league of abusive women camps train women to live without LOVE. But I am glad Rihanna choose to be honest despite the pressure by the world on her to be DISHONEST about her feelings so that Domestic Violence Activists Agendas can be advanced. Help the men so that women can remain with the LOve of Their Lives…stop turning our women to demons. Some men only just need help in other to be a better person.

    Who knows. He seems over her. And she’s getting over him. And it’s only a matter of time before she finds a new guy.

    I wonder why he hit her when she didn’t even hit him first. And he really beat the shit out of her. What an overreaction. Over a verbal argument…
