I like when people discover how ASS some of these celebrities were. Rihanna wasn’t even afforded the dignity of being treated like a victim. Her trauma became public spectacle, celebrities were calling BOTH of them victims, others were more concerned about Chris Brown’s career, and people were already demanding everyone move on. The media scrutinized her more than they empathized with her. And THIS is the cultural climate in which she released Rated R. That’s why I’ll forever defend that era. She refused to let the world reduce her to what happened to her.
