Chris Brown further fueled the Rihanna rumor mill on Thursday by posting a loving picture of them together, sparking claims they may have reconciled.
In fact, the picture is believed to have been taken in Paris, just a day before the pair sensationally split after Rihanna heard Chris Brown partied with scantily-clad female models and lunched with ex Karrauche Tran in Dubai.
To add further mystery, to what could be seen as a “forgive me” post, Chris Brown deleted the picture after 15 minutes.
But thousands of Twitter users retweeted the snap, which shows Rihanna wearing a red fur coat, which she was seen wearing on December 10 in Paris, the same day Chris Brown was spotted leaving her hotel room in the City of Lights.
Rumors swirled that the star was trying to elicit forgiveness from his on-again off-again lover after she posted a series of vitriolic Twitter comments about being single.
After weeks of happy texts aimed at Chris Brown and photos of the pair together, Rihanna wrote: “Examine what you tolerate”, “Goodbye muthaf*****”, “You give, you get, then you give it the f*** back” and “Claps for the basic b****** (sic)”.

In between posting raunchy images of herself, Rihanna followed it up, musing: “Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.”
Of course, Rihanna can not be with Chris Brown as she is currently holidaying in a luxury beach front villa in Barbados.
It isn’t clear if Chris Brown wants to get back together with Rihanna or simply remind her of the fun they had together. Since they first split in 2009, Rihanna often referred to her ex as her “best friend”.
Meanwhile Karrauche Tran’s best friend Christina Milian, 31, claims Karrueche has always been Chris Brown’s “girlfriend” despite Chris previously announcing they had split last October.
When asked about her friend’s relationship status with the 23-year-old R&B star, The Voice USA star said last week on The Wendy Williams Show on Friday: “You know what, from what I’ve always known, she’s his girlfriend.”
Rihanna has hinted she’s once again split from Chris Brown.
Rihanna and Chris Brown reconciled earlier this year even though Chris is still on probation for beating her up in 2009 but she took to her Instagram account on Tuesday to post a message which appears to confirm reports the couple have called time on their relationship.
She posted an “R Card” which read: “Being single sucks. The only thing I get to do anymore is whatever the f**k I want to do.”
Rihanna, 24, was left reeling recently after her on/off boyfriend Chris Brown was pictured partying with scantily-clad girls on tour in Paris and enjoying a meal with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran in Dubai and vented her feelings in a note to her fans.
She uploaded a photograph to Twitter of a heartfelt letter, thanking fans for their constant support and telling them to stand up for what they believe in and refusing to be defeated by mistakes and “curve balls”.
Rihanna has hinted she’s once again split from Chris Brown
The handwritten note contains the lines: “There’s no question that life throws us curve balls, we do our best to deal with them, take the lessons and keep it moving without regrets…
“I look forward to embarking on this ride with you, unwilling to sacrifice what we believe in, taking our lessons and growing from them. Don’t let one thing shake your core. Let our inspirations drive us, never steering from who we truly are….”
Rihanna also took to Twitter to vent her feelings, writing: “Examine what you tolerate’, ‘Goodbye muthaf*****’, ‘You give, you get, then you give it the f*** back’ and ‘Claps for the basic b****** (sic)”
In between posting raunchy images of herself, she followed it up yesterday, musing: “Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.”
Chris Brown further fueled rumors of a rekindled romance with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna by posting a black-and-white picture of the pair enjoying smoke-filled fun times on a couch Sunday morning.
In the candid snap, Chris Brown, 23, has a hand-rolled spliff in his mouth as clouds of smoke billow around the 24-year-old pop star who revealed her bare midriff while enveloped in a large camouflage coat.
Meanwhile Breezy, whose brutal assault on Rihanna in 2009 left her hospitalized, was dressed casually in a baseball cap and white t-shirt.
The noted marijuana aficionado publicly has flaunted her love of herb.
Last summer, Rihanna was seen wearing a “how-to-roll-a-joint” T-shirt while grabbing late-night munchies at Giorgio Baldi.
Rihanna also tweeted a picture of herself holding a joint wrapped in colorful, patterned rolling papers.

Back in May, Rihanna posted a bizarre photo on her Instagram of a woman smoking a joint so enormous it required three women to hold it up and a fourth to light it.
“Why she suckin on my soul mate???” tweeted Rihanna, who has called reggae legend Bob Marley her “hero”.
And when photos of Rihanna appearing to roll a marijuana blunt on her bodyguard’s head emerged from the Coachella Music Festival in April, she irreverently addressed the snaps by tweeting: “@rihanna ran out of f***s to give.”
Meanwhile Chris Brown just reactivated his Twitter Sunday after shutting it down following a Twitter war with comedian Jenny Johnson, but he’s opted to use his Instagram instead.
“I used to use my Twitter account to vent, but now I mostly use it for marketing and promotions,” the Grammy winner recently told XXL.
“Even if the media asks me something, if it’s cool then it’s, <<What’s up?>>. But if it’s anything that’s too negative, I don’t care to respond.”
Chris Brown then added: “In the beginning, I used to be hot. I’m normal. I’m human, so if anybody says something that’s a lie, I’m numb to it. I’ve smartened up.”
Rihanna and Chris Brown couple have been posting suggestive pictures for weeks, including one image of a new gold choker – believed to be a gift from Chris – with the caption: “He told me <<you better not give it away>>.”
The Barbadian beauty made sure to show off the new sparkler on her neck while launching her third fragrance Nude at Macy’s Westfield Saturday.
Chris Brown has decided to delete his Twitter account following a foul mouthed attack on comedy writer Jenny Johnson who challenged him over his 2009 assault of Rihanna.
Before the deletion Chris Brown appeared to confirm reports that he is once more dating Rihanna, tweeting: “Just ask Rihanna if she mad??????”
Jenny Johnson, who has nearly 300,000 Twitter followers, had challenged Chris Brown by telling him: “Being a worthless piece of s*** can really age a person.”
Her comment came in response to his tweet: “I look old as f***! I’m only 23…”
In response to Jenny Johnson’s tweet Chris Brown let rip in a foul mouthed attack: “Take them teeth out when u Sucking my d*** HOE.”
An unrepentant Jenny Johnston corrected Chris Brown’s spelling, saying: “It’s <<HO>> not <<HOE>> you ignorant f***.”
Chris Brown then lost his temper and amongst his abusive tweets told her: “mom says hello… She told me not to s**** in ur mouth, wanted me to s*** right on the retina.”
And: “I should fart while ur giving me top.”

Jenny Johnson, who lives with her husband in Texas, replied: “Your mom must be so proud of you.”
And she then ended her side of the conversation, explaining: “Okay. I’m done. All I got from that exchange with Chris Brown is that he wants to s*** and fart on me.”
And she added: “I have zero respect for a person who seems unapologetic for the terrible crime he committed and shows no signs of changing.”

Chris Brown picked a rather poor choice of costume as he got in the holiday spirit for Halloween, on Wednesday.
Chris Brown, 23, dressed himself up as a gun toting Arab man complete with ammunition and thawb.
It is unclear if Chris Brown was supposed to be a Sheik or some kind of terrorist, but his costume is sure to have raised some eyebrows.
Chris Brown posted the picture on his Twitter account with him and his friends all wearing similar outfits and holding up toy machine guns and pistols.
Their costumes, which included long fake beards, were seemingly an effort to look like stereotypical terrorists.
He captioned the picture: “Ain’t nobody F***ing wit my clique!!!! #ohb,” which is a line from Kanye West song Clique.
Chris Brown was dressed up to attend the party of his ex girlfriend Rihanna, which was being held at Greystone Manor Supperclub, in West Hollywood.

Upon his arrival, Chris Brown was given a very warm welcome from one female admirer who showed off her legs in her ring master costume.
While Chris Brown and Rihanna, who was crowned the Queen of West Hollywood Halloween Parade, have put their tumultuous history behind them, Irish rap trio Original Rudeboys have not.
The group reportedly turned down an offer to perform with Chris Brown next month in Dublin, Ireland, because of his domestic abuse history with Rihanna.
During an interview with RTE, the boys said: “Even though it’s a huge opportunity to play in the O2 with a major hip-hop star, and a substantial fee was offered, we are completely against Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna.”
Chris Brown attended the same Halloween party on Sunday night as Karrueche Tran – prompting reports that he has got back together with his ex.

However, Rihanna will be less than happy when she discovers that Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran both attended the GreyStone Manor Halloween Party together.
Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran arrived and left in separate vehicles during the horror themed event, which saw Brown dress up in a baseball top and ghoulish white and black make-up.
Karrueche Tran wore an Oriental style dress as she partied with revellers.

Chris Brown looked to be in high spirits on the night, and certainly has been struck by Halloween fever.
On Saturday, Chris Brown was spotted at a Halloween themed party at the Playboy mansion.
While he never dressed up that night, he made some effort for Sunday’s night bash – and pulled a series of creepy faces as he attended the party.
Despite the partygoing atmosphere, Karrueche Tran was seen almost constantly on the phone.
Chris Brown announced his split with model girlfriend Karrueche Tran, citing his “friendship” with Rihanna as a reason behind the break up.
But Chris Brown, 23, apparently spent the day with the model on Monday, with onlookers suggesting that the pair went to a studio in Burbank together.
Karrueche Tran, 23, is reported to have left Chris Brown’s house with the singer but in separate cars, according to Just Jared.
They are then reported to have stopped at a gas station together where Chris Brown’s bodyguard handed over cash for Karrueche Tran’s gas.
The bodyguard then accompanied Chris Brown in the passenger seat of his black sports car.
Karrueche Tran spotted with Chris Brown fueling reconciliation rumors
Chris Brown, who spent time with Rihanna at a Beverly Hills party over the weekend, released a statement confirming the split at the beginning of this month.
He said: “I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don’t want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna.
“I’d rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.”
However, Chris Brown has released a new video where he apparently describes his mixed feelings about loving two women at the same time, which has been widely interpreted as a reference to his former love.
Today’s sighting is not the first time speculation has been rife about a reconciliatory between the pair.
Karrueche Tran was pictured leaving Brown’s Hollywood home one morning wearing the same clothes from the night before, a few days after the split was announced.
Rihanna recently admitted to Oprah Winfrey that she still considers Chris Brown to be the “love of her life”.
Rihanna has defended her decision to spend time with Chris Brown in a new interview for the November issue of Vogue, in which she also poses in a stunning photo shoot, captured by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
In her accompanying interview with the fashion bible, Rihanna explains that outsiders have not yet seen how her relationship with Chris Brown has changed since that fateful day three years ago.
“The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything,” she said.
“But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.”
This is Rihanna’s second Vogue shoot and cover.
For the April 2011 cover of the magazine, Rihanna looked stunning in a mermaid inspired and figure hugging gown.
This time, Rihanna, 24, is red-hot in a strapless scarlet lace red dress, and is sporting her haircut de jour, a short pixie crop.
Rihanna’s second Vogue shoot and cover
In inside shots, Rihanna poses in a field of wheat wearing a similar scarlet dress, provocatively stretching out as she relaxes in the great outdoors.
In another snap, the desert dust blows up the skirt of her stunning black Haute Couture leather and lace gown, which she pairs with sheer mesh fingerless gloves.
Rihanna was clearly excited by her second Vogue cover, tweeting on Saturday: “Mama I made it! Here’s #2.”
Rihanna’s quotes to Vogue come as it was recently revealed that she will go public with Chris Brown following the release of her next album, Unapologetic.
A source told gossip site HollywoodLife: “She is hitting the studio real hard these days, but talks to Chris every step of the way.
“As soon as she finishes up with this album, they will be out. She’s gotta focus and get that album together and stay paid.
“She’s tied up and busy with the album, but she makes time for Chris late nights. She did one night before – I think, like, Tuesday. I’m not sure but I know she saw him this week.”
Speculation has been rife that the pair are back together, especially after they were spotted cuddling up to one another at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn at the beginning of October.
Chris Brown has since split up with his girlfriend Karreuche Tran, seemingly to make way for his relationship with Rihanna.
In the same breath, Rihanna told Vogue that she wanted to date a “ballsy” man.
In her interview, presumably conducted before her recent reconciliation with Chris Brown, Rihanna also bemoaned about her lack of a love life and said that she wished a guy would pluck up the courage to approach her because she just wants to have fun on a date.
She said: “I would love to go on a date. You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun.
“No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point!”
Rihanna revealed that confidence and a sense of humor are the main qualities she looks for in a man.
“Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home,” she said.
“He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”
Rihanna doesn’t mind waiting for her dream man to come along and says she won’t settle for second best.
Rihanna explained: “I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong s**t when you go looking.”
Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown’s former lover, is said to be livid about his recent video in which he claims he loves “two women at the same time”.
A source close to Karrueche Tran has told TMZ that she is “pissed” at Chris Brown for dumping her in such a public way.
Karrueche Tran, 23, is said to be disappointed in Chris Brown’s decision to broadcast his feelings on the internet and feels he should have kept things private.
Meanwhile, sources close to Chris Brown say he made the video in an attempt to soften the blow for ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown’s former lover, is said to be livid about his recent video
In the video, Chris Brown says: “I’m stressed out… when you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it’s kinda difficult.
“Is there such thing as loving two people? I don’t know if that’s possible, but for me, I feel like that.”
But after Chris Brown made his video public, Karreuche Tran was less than impressed with his admission.
She tweeted: “Wtf is going on? All I’m saying is.. You don’t mess with people’s genuine feelings. You just don’t! Life moves on.. So let’s all.”
Meanwhile Rihanna made a veiled reference to Chris Brown as she wrote on her Twitter: “Ain’t nobody bidness….. But mine and my baby!”
And friends of the pair are said to be concerned about their potential reconciliation.
A source told RadarOnline.com: “Chris and Rihanna just love the drama. They know their fans don’t support them getting back together, and that it’s a terrible PR move since Chris was convicted of beating Rihanna.
“However, this is what Chris and Rihanna thrive on. There are still major trust issues that Rihanna has with Chris, with good reason, he was hooking up with her while he was still dating Karrueche. Chris and Rihanna back together in any capacity is just a disaster in the making.”

The concert date marked the third night Rihanna and Chris Brown have been seen out together in New York.
The pair was first seen together on Monday night, partying together at celebrity hotspot Griffin in New York’s Meatpacking district.
An eyewitness said the two were “hugging and kissing, and they went to the back of the club alone together”.
Rihanna allegedly arrived just five minutes after Chris Brown and sat down two tables away from him.
Chris Brown is then alleged to have taken off his shirt and began “dancing on the table for Rihanna”, according to Celebuzz and continued “dancing together and being very smitten”.
After dancing and kissing, Rihanna and Chris Brown then went into a bathroom together, according to the New York Post.
When Rihanna emerged, a source told the paper: “She seemed a little ruffled.”
And on Tuesday night, Rihanna was seen leaving her hotel and heading to the recording studio after reportedly spending time with Chris Brown inside.
They were also seen planting a kiss on the lips and embracing inside the Staples Center at MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles last month.
Rihanna and Chris Brown’s recent racy antics come after Rihanna admitted to Oprah Winfrey that she still considers Chris to be the “love of her life”.
This is despite the fact Rihanna took a restraining order out against Chris Brown after he was charged with assault after hitting her at a pre-Grammy party in 2009.
Chris Brown enjoyed a night out with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger on Tuesday.
Chris Brown and Nicole Scherzinger were a part of a star-studded line up that arrived to help host the Black Pyramid Party at Supperclub in Los Angeles.
With Chris Brown, 23, fresh from a court appearance, he joined The X Factor UK judge as well as The Voice UK judge Will.i.am and singer Sean Kingston at the bash.
Chris Brown- who arrived wearing loose jeans, a plain white T-shirt, plus a hooded leather jacket – addressed the crowd with warmth and often reached out to touch fans.

As he put on an animated display inside the venue, taking to the microphone and flailing his arms in the air, his star friends smiled on as they awaited their turn to entertain.
However, while the clubbers danced and the spotlight was not on the celebrity guests, Chris Brown cosied up to Nicole Scherzinger.
The performer is currently paired up with girlfriend Karrueche Tran but she was not pictured at the venue.
Nicole Scherzinger, 34, is dating Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton, but while her beau is away in Asia for training, she got to know her industry pal a little better.
Chris Brown was seen leaning in close to the star – perhaps in an effort to be heard over the loud music – and at one point appeared to put his arm around her.
Nicole Scherzinger donned a flirty off-the shoulder with a large beanie hat on her head for the night out.
Meanwhile Chris Brown was again showing off his new darker set of locks after recently dying his hair.
He ditched his platinum blonde locks before his court hearing on Monday where it was revealed he failed a drug test.
The singer – who is currently on probation after attacking his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 – tested positive for marijuana in June in Virginia, where the drug is illegal, but since he claims to have smoked it in California, where he has a medicinal marijuana card. Judge Patricia Schnegg has let him off with a warning.
However, Judge Patricia Schnegg ordered a review of his progress on November 1 amid concerns about how many community service hours he has completed and allegations he has violated the terms of his travel restrictions.
She also urged him to consider how the public and his young fans perceive his actions, telling him: “You are not an average person sitting in a living room. You are not only in the public eye, but you are on probation.”
Before the hearing Rihanna, who is currently in London, tweeted Chris Brown a message of support saying: “@chrisbrown I’m praying for you and wishing u the best today (sic)” to which he responded: “thank u so much (sic).”
Chris Brown has unveiled a new tattoo on his neck of what appears to be a woman’s battered and bruised face.
Chris Brown, 23, put the ink on display during an event in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The face structure, arched eyebrows and plump lips certainly bear a resemblance Rihanna, and the design has eerie echoes of the shocking picture that emerged of the We Found Love singer after he brutally assaulted her in 2009.
However, sources close to Chris Brown insist any similarities are purely coincidental, telling TMZ: “It’s a random woman.”

Rihanna and Chris Brown sparked rumors that they were rekindling their romance at the MTV VMAs last week after they were seen kissing and hugging.
Rihanna, who touched down at LAX yesterday after a trip to London, opened up about her complicated feelings for her ex to Oprah Winfrey last month, calling Chris Brown “the love of my life”.
Rihanna said she felt sympathy for Chris Brown in the wake of the infamous violent attack that left her in hospital in 2009
The singer confirmed they still have a “very close friendship” and added she felt sympathy for him in the wake of the infamous violent attack that left her in hospital.
Rihanna explained: “I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help.”
“The main thing for me is that he is at peace,” she continued.
“I’m not at peace if he is unhappy or he is still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds peace.”
Rihanna appeared at last night’s MTV VMAs to finally confirm the rumors of rekindling her relationship with Chris Brown are true.
As she exited the stage at the star-studded event after collecting her Video Of The Year award, Rihanna, 24, was stopped by former boyfriend Chris Brown as he congratulated her.
Rihanna and Chris Brown were seen kissing on the lips, before hugging tenderly, with Chris’ arm looking slightly proprietorial around her waist.
The images of Rihanna and Chris Brown, 23, are sure to spark rumors among the singers’ fans that the pair have decided to give their relationship another go.
Rihanna and Chris Brown’s tender display comes after she admitted to Oprah Winfrey that she still considers Chris to be the “love of her life”, despite the fact that she took a restraining order out against the singer after he was charged with assault after hitting her at a pre-Grammy party in 2009.
His vicious assault, which led to Rihanna being hospitalized, led to him receiving five years of probation as a result.

But Rihanna told Oprah Winfrey that since the restraining order was dropped in February 2011, the pair have been working on their friendship.
She said: “I think he is the love of my life. He was my first love. Now we’re very close friends. And that’s not anything we’re going to try to change.
“It’s awkward because I still love him. My stomach drops and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me. I have to maintain it and suppress it. When you don’t understand those feelings you can make a lot of mistakes.”
At the time of making the comments, Rihanna was single while Chris Brown has been dating model Karrueche Tran.
At last night’s VMAs, both artists took home awards, with Rihanna being named Video of the Year for We Found Love, and Chris winning Best Male Video and Best Choreography for Turn Up The Music.
Chris Brown’ win is likely to please the singer even more as he was up against rival Drake for the prize.
The RnB singer seemed more than a little delighted to have scored his victory following his infamous brawl with Drake in a New York nightclub in June.
When Chris Brown took to the stage he said: “First and foremost, I want to thank Team Breezy, Riveting Entertainment because this is my first time actually being able to direct a video by myself.”
However, Drake did not walk away empty handed after losing out on the big award for Take Care. Instead, he won the lightly regarded Best Hip-Hop Video award instead.
Meanwhile, the show’s host Kevin Hart made light of Drake and Chris Brown’s brawl at the W.i.P club that left eight people injured, including San Antonio Spurs player Tony Parker, who later said he nearly lost his left eye.
He said: “Right now you guys are arguing over a mistake. You’re arguing over a thrown bottle in the club.
“Drake is from Canada. Drake loves to recycle. Drake thought there was a recycle bin in Chris’s section.”
The cameras showed 25-year-old Drake laughing heartily at the quips.
However, he may not be laughing for long, as he and Chris Brown have been hit with a $16 million lawsuit over the incident by the clubs owners, who lost their licence following the melee.

In a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey last night Rihanna admitted despite their relationship violent end she still loves ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
Rihanna, 24, told Oprah Winfrey she and Chris Brown are still “very close friends”, adding: “We built a trust again and that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will.”
The television special for Oprah: The Next Chapter showed Oprah Winfrey describe the fall-out from the horrific night after a pre-Grammy party in 2009.
After re-counting the events, a tearful Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, opened up about where the pair’s relationship now stands.
“It was embarrassing it was humiliating… I lost my best friend,” she said.
Rihanna admits since the restraining order was dropped against Chris Brown in February 2011, the pair have been working on their friendship, having seen each other as recently as last month in St. Tropez.

“We’ve been working on our friendship again and now we’re very close friends,” she said.
“And that’s not anything we’re going to try to change.”
But she said it’s still difficult to see her ex, because her feelings are conflicting.
“It’s awkward because I still love him.
“My stomach drops and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me. I have to maintain it and suppress it,” she explained.
Then she added: “When you don’t understand those feelings you can make a lot of mistakes.”
Rihanna said they are not pursuing anything romantic, noting Chris Brown is in a longterm relationship (with model Karrueche Tran), while she is single.
Still, the memories of their relationship, she predicted, will linger.
“I think he is the love of my life. He was my first love.”
But she remembers, in part, where it went wrong: “We were very young and very spontaneous. We were falling in love and going at a really rapid pace. We forgot about ourselves as individuals.”
Rihanna’s words have caused uproar with domestic violence support charities blasting the singer for “normalizing” abuse.
Charities claim Rihanna is sending out a dangerous message, which could stop abused women from coming forward.
Vivienne Hayes, chief executive of the Women’s Resource Centre, told The Independent: “Rihanna’s case demonstrates the emotional complexities felt by women locked in abusive relationships.”
After falling into what she described as a “dark place”, reflected in her music, her fashion choices and her attitude, the singer said she was finally able to make peace with the violent end to their romance by rebuilding her relationship with her father, Ronald Fenty.
“I was so angry at him. I was just angry about a lot of things from my childhood. And I couldn’t separate him as a husband from him as my father,” she said, acknowledging he was violent toward her mother, Monica Braithwaite.
Rihanna’s parents split nearly two years before she left Barbados for the states at 16. The singer admitted her father’s “addiction” tore her family apart; although she did not elaborate on his substance abuse.
Now, after bridging the gap, she says she has moved on from the scandal with Chris Brown that has cast a shadow over her career for the last three years.
“I have to move on,” she said.
“I have forgiven him. It took me a long time. I was angry for a long time.”
But that reconciliation comes with the desire to know her ex has also healed since the fracas.
“I truly love him, so the main thing for me is that he’s at peace… I care. It actually matters [to me] that he finds that peace,” she said.
Prepared for a backlash, she continued: “I can’t tell people how to feel about it. They’re entitled to feel angry because it wasn’t a good thing that happened. But I have forgiven him.”

In the upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey, Rihanna opens up about her relationship with Chris Brown.
And what Rihanna has to say about her ex-boyfriend, who was convicted of assaulting her three years ago, in the prerecorded interview will come as a surprise to some.
Rihanna, 24, tells Oprah Winfrey: “I felt like the only person they hate right now is him. It was a weird, confusing space to be in.
“Because as angry as I was – as angry and hurt and betrayed – I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help. And who’s going to help him? Nobody’s going to say he needs help, everybody’s going to say he’s a monster, without looking at the source. And I was more concerned about him.”
Previously released preview clips of the upcoming TV special Oprah: The Next Chapter, showed Rihanna describe the fall-out from the horrific night after a pre-Grammy party.
She said: “It was embarrassing it was humiliating… I lost my best friend.”

Oprah Winfrey is then seen asking series of probing questions concerning Rihanna’s past and present relationship with Chris Brown, including: “Do you think Chris Brown is a true love for you?” and “Where does your relationship stand today?”.
While producers saved Rihanna’s answers for the actual episode, her replies managed to shock the talk show queen.
Oprah Winfrey exclaims: “I would have never thought that. You just shocked me.”
In one of the promos ahead of the episode, Oprah Winfrey, 58, reveals she had a pre-conceived idea of what to expect when she travelled to the singer’s home country of Barbados.
During the documentary, which was filmed on August 5, Rihanna went back to her childhood home in the island capital Bridgetown.
Speaking to camera in the preview, Oprah Winfrey said: “I went there with my own ideas about who she was from watching her videos and listening to her music.
“I thought she was gonna be kind of a bada**, a kind of hard edged, rocker, pop woman. Nothing could have been farther from the truth.”
Over clips of the interview and footage of Rihanna driving Oprah to visit her old neighborhood, Oprah Winfrey said: “She was thoughtful… She was very emotional… She was vulnerable.”
In brief segments from the one-to-one on the sofa, Rihanna admitted: “I am super duper terrified of the pedestal that comes with fame…
“It’s amazing how lonely you can feel.”
As well as crying, Rihanna also burst into laughter when Oprah Winfrey commented on her frequent use of the F-word.
Oprah also praised Rihanna for her skills behind the wheel: “First of all I’m surprised by what a good driver she is.”
Visiting her former home, Rihanna appears down-to-earth and humble as she chats to her old neighbors and embraces local children.
Teasing viewers to watch the interview, she said: “She pushes the edge a lot, and there’s a reason for that.”
Rihanna’s appearance on Oprah’s OWN channel comes three years after the talk show queen made a public appeal to the singer to leave her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
Oprah Winfrey spoke out a month after Rihanna was assaulted by the R&B singer, amidst rumors at the time they were still together.
The TV presenter said in 2009: “If a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again. It makes me so sad. Love doesn’t hurt.
“Both Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I were your friend, I would call you up and say give it some time. Get yourself some counseling. Take care of yourself. Heal yourself first.”
Oprah Winfrey is hoping the Rihanna special will help her struggling network continue its comeback.
It has seen viewership increase by 25% since the start of the year, though from a very low starting baseline.
Discovery has just revealed they expect the network to start making money at the end of 2013.
The Rihanna interview will air on OWN on August 19.

Last night, Chris Brown joined rappers Flavor Flav, Nelly, Lil Wayne, and Lil Jon in the trend by proudly flashing his golden chompers to the dancing crowds at AV Nightclub in Hollywood.
Wearing a black beanie, Chris Brown, 23, was seen in an Army green bomber jacket over a grey shirt, low-slung dark denim jeans, and a pair of Air Yeezy sneakers designed by Kanye West.
As if he couldn’t look more intimidating, surrounded by bodyguards, the multi-hyphenate star was also flaunting his bold new neck tattoo of a wolf.
Chris Brown, whose new album Fortune was released today, reportedly partied at the Cahuenga hot-spot until close and then left without incident.

Prior to the club, Breezy raised eyebrows after tweeting a photo of himself in the recording studio with none other than Victoria’s Secret model Chanel Iman, 21, calling her “beautiful”.
It’s unclear why Chris Brown, whose girlfriend is Karrueche Tran and ex-girlfriend is pop star Rihanna, was hanging out with the five-foot-nine-inch stunner or what sort of beautiful music they might have been making together.
His new album, featuring collaborations with Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean, topped the iTunes album chart yesterday.
However, it’s already been getting not-so-hot reviews with critics labeling it, “boring”, “unremarkable”, and “edgeless”.
Sunday night, Chris Brown was a big winner at the BET Awards where he took home Best Male R&B Artist and the Fandemonium Award after performing a medley of Don’t Wake Me Up and Turn Up The Music onstage in body paint.
It’s all he can do to distract his fans from the recent bar brawl with rival Drake, which left eight injured, and his 2009 conviction for viciously assaulting his ex Rihanna after the Grammys.
Rihanna and Chris Brown are believed to have gone their separate ways, but he still has an emotional connection to the singer and her family.
Chris Brown, 23, tweeted a heartfelt message early Sunday morning after his ex girlfriend’s grandmother passed away.
He wrote: “Praying for family and the lost loved one. She was like my grandmother. Love you GRAN GRAN! RIP.”
Chris Brown and Rihanna split in 2009 after he physically assaulted her just before the Grammy Awards.
The pair have reportedly gotten back together and split up several times since then.
But one thing is clear, Chris Brown still has an emotional connection to Rihanna, 24.
Rihanna’s grandmother Clara “Dolly” Brathwaite died on Saturday.
Two weeks ago Rihanna posted intimate photos of her spending time with her sick grandmother on Twitter
A short time later, Rihanna took to Twitter to reveal the sad news and wrote: “Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you.”
It was only two weeks ago that she posted intimate photos of her spending time with her sick grandmother on Twitter.
She then proceeded to post a number of sweet and personal photos of herself with her gran over the years.
Her relative, who her family affectionately called Gran Gran Dolly, died on Saturday following a battle with cancer.
She was hospitalized at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York.
Last month, Rihanna posted a number of photos and wrote: “My heart smiled and cried all at once #grangranDolly.”
In another snap Rihanna is seen placing her trucker cap on Dolly’s head.
She posted: “#grangrandolly Truk your girl.”
Rihanna also uploaded a picture of her hand with her grandmother’s along with the caption: “She still has the most beautiful hands.”
Now Rihanna has released even more family photos of her, including some pictures of her smiling while standing next to Dolly’s hospital bed.
She also posted up images of her smile and some of when Rihanna was a child next to her beloved family member.
Drake performed at the Jones Beach Theater in New York last night and he was not arrested over his role in a vicious nightclub brawl with Chris Brown.
However, the notorious fight did make an impact on Drake’s Long Island show on Saturday, as he appeared to refer to his troubles twice during his set.
The concert came as it emerged that the nightclub where Drake and Chris Brown fought over R&B star Rihanna, sending several injured people to hospital, has been closed “indefinitely”.
Drake performed at the Jones Beach Theater in the town of Wantagh, and opened his set by saying: “When I woke up this morning, I had to think about a lot of things.”
But he continued: “But the only thing I gave a f*** about was that I was in New York City tonight.”

Later in the set, he seemed to make another reference to Wednesday night’s scuffle, when he said: “It’s last call and you’re really too drunk to give a f***.
“A n***** in the corner is standing there looking at you funny. You bump elbows with him on the way to the bathroom, but really there’s only one n***** that you got to think about.”
NYPD sources had suggested that the star could be arrested at the concert if he did not turn himself in, but by the time the evening came around there was no sign that he would be taken into custody.
Meanwhile it was reported by TMZ that W.i.P., the nightclub in New York’s SoHo district, has been shut down indefinitely over a number of violations apparently unrelated to the A-list brawl.
Earlier a second bystander released photos of her injuries that were a result of the flying bottles during the fight.
NYPD plans to arrest rapper Drake for reckless endangerment after he and his love-rival Chris Brown allegedly sparked a nightclub brawl early Thursday that put five people in the hospital.
NYPD sources leaked that if Drake doesn’t agree to turn himself in voluntarily by early next week, he can expect to be arrested at his Jones Beach concert tonight.
The details about the possible showdown between the 25-year-old Canadian rapper and New York’s finest comes as a second bystander released photos of her injuries that were a result of the flying bottles at SoHo club W.i.P.
A woman named Veronica told TMZ that she was sitting at a table near the two rappers when she saw the beginning of the brawl.
Veronica had to get stitches on her right hand and has a bruise in the middle of her forehead.
“I heard people screaming … so I tried to get away from the action and hid behind a couch,” she told the site.

What she didn’t know at the time was that the fight, which left the club looking like a war zone with broken bottles everywhere, was supposedly caused by notorious rapper Chris Brown sending Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, a bottle of champagne.
While the gesture may seem nice, the closest connection that the two men have is that they have both been romantically linked to Rihanna.
That appears to be too close for comfort, as Drake reportedly sent the bottle back to Chris Brown with a note reading: “I’m f****** the love of your life, deal with it.”
Though Chris Brown, who was famously plead guilty to the felony charge of assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was enraged by the note, he claims that he was not the one to start the fight and points the finger at Drake and his entourage instead.
Police seem to agree, as the New York Post reported that while they are considering Chris Brown a “witness and victim”, they are now on the hunt for Drake.
“I believe the police are building a case against Drake and his thugs,” Chris Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos told the paper.
Said “thugs” included fellow rapper Meek Mill and a bevy of security handlers.
Another serious question comes for Chris Brown, however, as some of his own posse may have been known gang members, which would be a violation of his probation agreement for his previous assault charge.
An unidentified source told the New York Post that a number of members of the notorious Crips gang might have been with the 23-year-old rapper when the fight happened around 4:00 a.m. Thursday morning.
While the specific Crips members have not been identified, two other Chris Brown pals have announced their injuries.
Rihanna, who is thought to have been the reason for the fight between Chris Brown, rapper Drake and their entourages at New York’s W.i.P. nightclub, reportedly meet up with Chris the night after the fracas.
Sources say Rihanna, who has dated both musicians, was on hand to look after Chris Brown’ cut chin, which was a result of the incident.
An insider told RadarOnline.com: “Chris and Rihanna hung out at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club all night and it was clear that she loved the attention he was giving her.
“Those two have a thing for each other that will never die, no matter what, and they’re on their way to really being back together.
“Chris just adores her. And she tended to him, making sure the gash on his chin from the fight was okay.”
Rihanna, who is thought to have been the reason for the fight between Chris Brown, rapper Drake and their entourages at New York's W.i.P. nightclub, reportedly meet up with Chris the night after the fracas
According to the insider, Rihanna and Chris Brown shared a private room, where she was “all over” the R&B singer.
“Chris would do anything for Rihanna, and she loves the way he showers her with attention,” the source added.
“It’s a win-win for them.”
Rihanna originally left Chris Brown in 2009 after he assaulted her, leaving her badly bruised.
It was shortly after that time she hooked up with Drake, which started the feud between him and Chris Brown.
Rihanna has also took to Twitter yesterday to call for peace, somewhat cryptically writing: “When Jah gives you a desire for something, He will give u peace along with it… Wait for peace (sic).”
After admitting that she was feeling “drunk” on her Twitter page, Rihanna hid her face under a hoodie as she left Jay-Z’s 40/40 club Thursday night, where she was reported to be partying with Chris Brown.
Although she looked rather serious as she left the club, guided by a friend, Rihanna did admit she had had a fun night.
The singer wrote on Twitter: “Is it just me or is twitter way too complicated when you’re drunk? *still drunk*”
Rihanna insisted that she had been partying with a group of friends, but did not mention Chris Brown’s name in her earlier post.
“Fun times w/ Neyo, Mo, V, Trey, Maxwell, Selita, Terrence, CP3, A Mandler and ofcourse my hoes.”
While waiting with her friends at the valet, Rihanna flashed a hint of her black bra under a cut-up T-shirt and light blue jeans with a grey pair of steel-toed combat boots bearing a smiley face.
With her black hair curled and up, the singer finished her evening look with long yellow nails and a metal collar.
The night before a massive fight broke out between Chris Brown and Drake, said to be over the singer, whilst they were partying at New York night club W.i.P.
The fracas between Chris Brown and Drake’s entourages happened just before 4 a.m. in the morning, as the last song was playing.
A bottle-throwing brawl reportedly took place between hip hop stars Chris Brown and Drake in W.i.P nightclub in Manhattan in the early hours of Thursday.
Now police are investigating whether shots were fired during the fight.
Witnesses told the NYPD they heard a gun go off amid the ruckus in the early hours of Thursday, although none said they saw the weapon.
“We are investigating the possibility of gunshots fired at the club,” NYPD spokesman Paul Browne told the New York Daily News.
“We have several eyewitnesses telling detectives they heard what they believed to be shots fired during the disturbance.”
Witnesses claimed the brawl – which saw at least five people hospitalized – came after Chris Brown and Drake scrapped over their former flame, singer Rihanna.
On Thursday night, Chris Brown’s lawyer reportedly gave detectives “physical evidence” allegedly proving Drake was involved in the fight – even though the hip hop artist said he had been outside.
Lawyer Mark Geragos went to the NYPD late on Thursday night to present evidence showing that Drake was one of the aggressors, law enforcement sources have claimed.
Chris Brown is also reportedly being treated as a “witness and victim” rather than a suspect in the melee, which turned the New York City nightclub, W.i.P, into a war zone.
He spoke to detectives about the incident late on Thursday night, yet Drake has not.
There have been conflicting reports about what happened at the SoHo nightspot.
Witnesses claimed the two recording stars started fighting after Chris Brown sent Drake a bottle of champagne as a peace offering – which was promptly snubbed by Drake.
He reportedly sent the bottle back with a note: “I’m f****** the love of your life, deal with it.”
Chris Brown, 23, dated Rihanna until she dumped him after he savagely beat her in 2009. After their breakup, Rihanna was romantically linked with rapper Drake.
The New York Police Department is investigating the fight.
A spokesman said investigators believe Chris Brown, his bodyguard and a woman with him were trying to leave the club about 4:00 a.m. when they were confronted by five members of Drake’s posse.
As they were squaring off, someone – police don’t know who yet – threw a bottle.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, was not in the group that confronted Chris Brown, said NYPD Lt. John Grimple.
One of the club-goers caught in the middle of the fracas was Hollie C., an Australian tourist who was rushed to Bellevue Hospital after she was smashed in the head with a flying bottle during the fight.
A gruesome photo shows a gash in her head and her face covered with blood. She needed 16 stitches to close the wound.
Hollie C. told TMZ.com she went to W.i.P. with friends on Wednesday night, unaware they were sitting in between two angry rappers and their entourages. Suddenly, all hell broke loose.
“Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head,” she told TMZ.
“I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness.”
She was one of eight people treated as a result of the fight. Hollie C. and four others had nothing to do with the bar brawl.
Tony Parker, the French basketball player who was once married to actress Eva Longoria, also claimed he was hurt during the fight.
“I was quietly with my friends when a fight broke out. Bottles started flying everywhere. I tried to protect my girlfriend and I got everything,” Tony Parker told French website Direct Star.
“The cornea is affected. I cannot do anything for seven days. Wear a therapeutic contact lens and I get drops. I was lucky, that I almost had to get stitches.”
Chris Brown posted a picture of a gash on his chin, apparently sustained from the fight with Drake
Big Pat, Chris Brown’s bodyguard, was photographed laying in a hospital bed with a bloody wound on his head. He was seen out in Manhattan on Thursday with the cut visible on his head.
Chris Brown was also injured. He posted a picture of a gash on his chin, apparently sustained from the fight with Drake. His female companion was also hurt.
In the wake of the horrific injuries, the New York City Council has called for an emergency meeting with nightclub owners and police to look into policies for selling bottled drinks.
City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn released a statement on Friday that read: “I am deeply concerned by reports of the bottle throwing melee that injured more than five people in SoHo this week.
“That is why I have immediately convened an emergency meeting next week between my office, the NYPD, and the nightlife industry.
“The purpose of this meeting is to send a clear message to all nightclub patrons that bottles cannot be used as weapons and to determine if the guidelines surrounding bottle service need to be updated or reworked.”
After Drake snubbed Chris Brown’s bottle of champagne, Brown reportedly flew into a rage and confronted Drake, according to website Global Grind.
Drake allegedly threw a punch but before the singer could retaliate, another man hit Chris Brown in the face with a bottle.
A source told the New York Post: “They were on opposite sides of the room, Drake went over to the middle of the club to talk to someone, then words were exchanged with Chris and his entourage.”
The source said someone from Drake’s entourage, possibly the singer himself, threw a bottle.
“Once the bottle was thrown, all hell broke loose and there were more bottles thrown.”
The fight allegedly kicked off as the last song was playing, just before 4:00 a.m.
Police were already at the scene because it was closing time and that they “were on it in seconds and began getting everyone out of the club”.
Pictures of the aftermath show the club floor strewn with broken glass.
Chris Brown was pulled out of the situation by his own security and helped out of the club while Drake was pulled to the back of the club, the source said. “[Drake] was one of the last out of W.i.P.”
Police were looking at surveillance footage and talking to patrons who witnessed the melee. No arrests have been made and no complaints filed.
In a separate incident, just a day after the brawl, the bar’s owner Jonathan Cantor was arrested after out-of-control music at his other venue, Greenhouse in SoHo, the New York Post reported.
Drake has denied he was involved in “any kind last night at W.i.P.”. His spokeswoman said in a statement: “He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began.”
Chris Brown and Drake have had a war of words since both being romantically attached to Rihanna. The fight will further fuel rumors regarding the closeness of Rihanna to Chris Brown.
Earlier this week the pair partied at the same club for the second time in as many days, leaving within minutes of each other.
TMZ reported the pair was in the club together for around 30 minutes and Chris Brown spent some time with Rihanna at her table.
Sitting in different booths, the couple still “kept a close eye on each other” – and Chris Brown sent her over two bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne.
A video surfaced earlier this week of the pair leaving the club minutes apart.
The lovelorn pair has been linked together several times already this year, after it emerged that they had recorded songs with each other.

Video has emerged of Chris Brown and Rihanna leaving Avenue nightclub in New York.
TMZ reported the pair was in the club together for around 30 minutes and Chris Brown spent some time with Rihanna at her table.

A video surfaced yesterday of the pair leaving the club minutes apart.
The lovelorn pair has been linked together several times already this year, after it emerged that they had recorded songs with each.
And of late wherever Rihanna is, Chris Brown isn’t far behind, as they party at birthday celebrations and nightclubs in West Hollywood.

The sighting comes after another sign that Rihanna is paving the way for a reconciliation with singer Chris Brown, as the raunchy singer reportedly invited the singer to attend a basketball game party on Saturday with her family.
Rihanna and Chris Brown joined her family – including grandfather Lionel Braithwaite on Saturday at an intimate gathering at Jay-Z’s New York club 40/40 to watch the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics.
A source told The New York Post: “Rihanna arrives first in a yellow cab, with her family and friends, and was escorted to a private room.
“Brown arrived a little later and joined her and her family.”
On Saturday night, however, it seemed the two were more than just friends.
They were allegedly sitting together on the same couch, rooting for the Heat.
Chris Brown’s girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran, was not there.
Asked about reconciliation rumors, a rep for Chris Brown said: “Chris is very happy in his relationship with his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.”
Meanwhile, sources told The Post Rihanna’s management is calling the rekindled friendship the “Chris Brown issue”.
“Everyone in the business assumes she and Chris are getting back together, and it is only a matter of time before they’ll be more public about it,” the source told the newspaper.
“It’s like she is testing the water – first they work on music together, then they hang out in a friendly way, so the public won’t be completely shocked when they step out together publicly.”
Chris Brown infamously left Rihanna bruised and bloodied after assaulting her ahead of the Grammys in 2009.
There is also a tug of war at Roc Nation over the final say on what she is doing.
“But everyone agrees they can’t control Rihanna and can’t stop her seeing Chris, no matter how much they fear the negative public reaction will be.
“It means she probably won’t release another album this year, for fear of a backlash.”
