Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Opens Up About Chris Brown, Bedroom Behavior, & Love Life

Rihanna opens up like never before in her cover story for Rolling Stone. The Bajan babe, who strips down for photographer Mark Seliger in the sexy images, reveals why she lifted the restraining order against Chris Brown, how she put up her guard following their domestic dispute, how she likes to get freaky in the bedroom, and her stagnant love life. Check out the interview highlights before the magazine hits newsstands Friday.

On why she agreed to let a judge ease the restraining order against Chris Brown: “We don’t have to talk again ever in my life. I just didn’t want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did to me was a personal thing—it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can’t perform at awards shows—that definitely made it difficult for him. That was the only thing it was going to change, so I didn’t care. But you can never please people. One minute I’m being too hard, and the next minute I’m a fool because I’m not being hard enough.”

On putting up a facade following the former couple’s domestic dispute: “I put my guard up so hard. I didn’t want people to see me cry. I didn’t want people to feel bad for me. It was a very vulnerable time in my life, and I refused to let that be the image. I wanted them to see me as, ‘I’m fine, I’m tough.’ I put that up until it felt real.”

On turning up the heat in the bedroom: “I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned—you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs… I’d rather have him use his hands.”

On her love life: “I’m not sexing, I’m not even sexting. It’s on complete nil,” she says, adding, “I haven’t gotten a dick picture in a long time. I think people are a little afraid. It can turn out bad.”

On empathy for her father: “I actually feel really bad for my father. He was abused too—he got beat up by his stepdad when he was young. He has resentment toward women, because he felt like his mom never protected him, and unfortunately, my mother was the victim of that. I’m not giving him excuses. Right is right and wrong is wrong. I still blame him. But I understand the source.”

@Bobby light,
What do you expect her to say when asked about S&M and sexting? At least she’s being honest and there’s more to the interview than just sex. Read!

@Please, There’s different ways to word things. “Dick pic” really? -_- Cou’d've said “I haven’t been intimate for awhile” or could of easily brushed off the question but she’s to DUMB to think about that

@Bobby light – I agree, don’t get me wrong, I’m not hatin just statin………. I like Rihanna, in fact she is one of my favourite artisits right now and she is hot, and I love the music. But what woman don’t like sex? Just think it’s sexier to keep that on the downlow a lil bit; “lady in the street but a freak in the bed”. There’s no problem with talking about it every now and then of course, it’s part of life, but not every single time she does an interview. If she don’t talk about it so much, then she won’t get asked about it. Man that must be hard without havin a di*k pic for so long….. SMH

@Bobby light, but she’s a grown woman, and she can talk about anything she likes, not because she’s a singer must be a model for kids, and well her music is about sex!

@Rihanna Baby, she’s a lot better now… she did great live in that “ALl Star” performance, she danced and worked the stage for like 11 minutes…
she’s really putting an effort, and it shows.

Beyonce is better alright, but there’s enough space for everyone yall.

@oso_jo_ro, Rihanna’s All Star Performance??? great? huh? No disrespect but you come off to me as one of those folks who get image and talent mixed up. She walked around & sang like I do in my damn bedroom. Just give me a red wig, a great team behind me, a ton of money & I gotchu! Who knows, you might think my performance is great too.

Now, haters are those who pull down others in attempt to uplift themselves. My opinion is as credible as the next broad’s. Don’t get it twisted. Rihanna is gorgeous & she glitters! But glitter doesn’t shine bright enough for me. I don’t know her (AT ALL) but I do know jaw dropping talent when I see it. She has talent…jaw dropping? Not so much. Looks aren’t enough for me. JMO! She doesn’t have to have it all but I am not impressed with her voice, her dancing, & I don’t even know if she even writes well or even at all. All I see is a puppet manufactured by folks behind the scenes.

That is all :)

@jennie, She has the edge, she can talk about the situation because it won’t affect her. If Chris talk about the situation the media will twist his words and it will affect his album sales.

Not feelin the “I haven’t got a dick pic in a long time” area but like what she said about Chris, think it was a good decision and hopefully it should stop people talking about the incident so much and help move on.

5 years ago or so when she first dropped, I never would have thought she would get this big and land a cover of Rolling Stone. She got mad lucky. With the right writers, producers, and management, ANYTHING could happen…Props to her.

They ask Rihanna these type of questions because they know she’s not afraid to answer them. I love it, she’s just being real. She’s 23; she has the right to sing and talk about what she wants. I love her and she was so mature with her response about the CB thing.
Rihanna is really doing her thing right now and I’m happy she’s getting recognized for it.

Does she ever stop bitching? She complains that her dad put her dirty laundry out there & then she does it to him. She says she’s not going to talk about CB anymore but ALWAYS does. She don’t want people to feel bad for her but puts out her personal business & cries in interviews. Just when I was starting to like her ass the bitch constantly give me reasons not to. Reason #1: CAN’T SING!

She always do an interview when she is promoting something. She is getting ready to release california bed as a single, so that is why she is talking about her sex life and I really believe that she gets these covers because she agrees to talk about CB.

March 31st, 2011 at 11:46 pm
I stopped liking Rihanna a minute ago. There is so much that I could say about her current road that it’s to the point of pointlessness – not mindless hating at all, just observations. It would change nothing. There’s nothing that she has to sing or say anymore that I care about, but I came to this particular post to say that. Terms like “free-spirit” and phrases like “not afraid to express his/her sexuality” are beyond ridiculous in their nature. Why do we have doors on our homes? So nobody can just walk into our privacy. Why is this girl sharing these things which should be the most intimate about her? Did we really need to know about these things? And before someone says – “Well you didn’t have to click on it” – I first heard about this from someone else that told me.
