Queen Ri Ri covers the November issue of Vanity Fair and spills on everything from her rise to fame, sex, and Chris Brown.
The singer gets incredibly candid discussing her former flame, the abuse he inflicted upon her, and the aftermath of it all.

Well, I just never understood that, like how the victim gets punished over and over. It's in the past, and I don't want to say 'Get over it,' because it's a very serious thing that is still relevant; it's still real. A lot of women, a lot of young girls, are still going through it. A lot of young boys too. It's not a subject to sweep under the rug, so I can't just dismiss it like it wasn't anything, or I don't take it seriously.

And she admits that while the two aren't friends, they aren't enemies either and that she'll always care for him.
Rihanna opens up about every aspect of her life and even offers her opinion on the controversial former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal.
I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit. Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people's perspective a bit and woke people up.
The interview is chock full of everything you'd want to know about the singer and more. You can read the full thing here.
