Rihanna sat down with
Talk Show icon
Oprah Winfrey for an extensive and emotional interview Sunday night.
Oprah traveled to the global music phenomenon's home on the island of Barbados to talk about everything from the price of fame to, of course,
Chris Brown.
While appearing on "
Oprah's Next Chapter"
Rihanna was brought to tears as she discussed the infamous night with her ex-boyfriend Brown. Three years ago, R&B star
Chris Brown, and
Rihanna got into a heated argument while driving home from a pre-Grammy party. According to police reports, the argument escalated into a violent attack. Chris was arrested for assault and pleaded guilty.
Brown was "the love of my life," the singer told Winfrey, as she started tearing up.
"I think he was the love of my life," she said. "He was my first love."
"It was a weird, confusing space to be in,"
Rihanna told Winfrey. "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."
"I truly love him and the main thing for me is that he is at peace," says
Rihanna. "I'm not at peace if he is unhappy or he is still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds that peace."
The heart-broken singer also spoke about giving her mother a house and visiting her childhood home.
