Still, the Barbadian beauty told NYC’s radio station Hot 97 that she’s not repentant.

“They were for my boyfriend at the time…if you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel sorry for him,” she told the station.

But having the nude pics circulated on the Internet was more exposure than the singer wanted, particularly at the time. Just weeks before, leaked photos of her battered face from her February beatdown by ex Chris Brown were still a hot topic.

“I was [freaked out], she said. “It was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to me. I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that [first photo leak] and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.”

The undated photos in question showed different parts of a woman’s nude body in a bathroom. At least two photos showed a partially clothed woman who resembled Rihanna, although her face was partially covered.

“It was humiliating and it was embarrassing especially my mom having to see that,” she said.

The 21-year-old singer said that she sent flowers to her mother two days before Mother’s Day, as a means to prepare her to the photo scandal.

“I was nervous [but] when the world is against me she’s always there supporting,” RiRi said.

Though she remained mum about the leaked photos at the times, the singer said she received mixed reactions when she began speaking out about her abusive relationship with Brown.

“It tripped me up,” she said. “[People] think I have an agenda to destroy his career but that’s not what it’s about. “I was very hesitant to ever talk about it … but there are young girls out there that need to hear this.”

The beauty famously dated fellow pop star Chris Brown for two years, before their relationship came crashing to an end when he beat her up in February.

She has repeatedly denied reports romantically linking her to rapper Drake and actor Tristan Wilds, declaring she was not yet ready to date.

But temporarily swearing off men has only reignited allegations she’s secretly harboring a love for women, which have been circulating the internet since images of Rihanna getting wild with pals surfaced online in January.

One picture showed Rihanna fondling the breasts of a gal pal – but the 21 year old has laughed off the saucy snap, insisting she’s just a big flirt who appreciates the female form.

She tells New York DJ Angie Martinez, “There are tons of them (photos of her grabbing boobs) online! I don’t have a lot so anytime I see a good rack (pair of breasts), I grab ‘em. Women are beautiful. I’m not into them, but they’re beautiful. Girls just wanna have fun!”

Brown’s assault prompted their break-up, but single Rihanna can’t escape memories of happier times with the singer.

Asked if she misses him, the Umbrella star told a US radio show: “Sometimes. Actually, yes.

“There are a lot of reminders, like a lot of hotel rooms, a lot of places we’ve been to together, music.
“There are different things that come up that are reminders of your ex.”

And she’s more likely to turn up the volume than switch off the radio when a Chris Brown tune comes on.

She added: “I don’t snub or turn it off; I listen. I like his music.”

By the way, is it a creepy coincidence that the day Rihanna rolls out her new single is the same day Brown unveils his “Fan Appreciation” tour and his new single “Crawl” hits the Internet

“I think she’s got, like, a million people writing songs for her, but the ones that we worked on she’s grown up a little bit and she has things that she can say,” he explained. “So that’s what we tried to do — craft things that are that of a young woman.”

Timberlake added that because of the huge success of her last album, Rihanna wants to make sure she isn’t pigeonholed into one sound or vibe. “She broke onto the scene so hard with the last record — to have that many songs on the charts is impressive,” he said. “I think that the smartest thing she’s doing is not trying to emulate what she did but move forward … I’ve heard some of the stuff on the record and it’s awesome.

Besides Kanye West’s tearful apology, what really made the show worth watching was Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Kanye’s performance of “Run This Town.”

The trio took the stage and sang the hit perfectly.

Rihanna has dismissed rumors of a reunion with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, insisting she checked into the same hotel as her former lover by “coincidence.”

Internet gossips were sent into a spin on Sunday after the New York Daily News reported the singers had both booked rooms at a Manhattan hotel.

The pair split earlier this year after Brown was arrested and charged with beating the Bajan beauty during a fight in February.

In a video that appeared online late Monday afternoon (July 20), Chris Brown has apologized publicly for the first time about the domestic altercation that took place between him and Rihanna earlier this year.

In the clip, obtained by MTV News, Brown, dressed in a red long-sleeve shirt with buttons on the front, spoke directly to the camera and apologized to his former girlfriend and his fans.

“I’ve told Rihanna countless times and I’m telling you today, I’m truly, truly sorry that I wasn’t able to handle the situation both differently and better,” Brown said.

At the beginning of the two-minute clip, Brown explains that his attorneys advised him to not speak about the situation until the legal ramifications were settled. But Brown said that ever since the February incident, he’s wanted to speak about the matter. The singer expressed his “deepest regret” over the fight and said he “accepts full responsibility” for the incident.

Toward the end of the apology, Brown continues to express remorse. The singer said up until the incident, he was living his life in a way that would make those around him proud. Through soul searching, he said, and help from his minister and mother, Brown intends to work on himself and gain forgiveness for his actions.

“I only can pray that you forgive me, please,” he said to his fans.

According to Rihannadaily.Com, Rihanna was with her friends and Jay Brown yesterday afternoon at Palms Casino Resort. He had his arms around her body. Vanilla Ice and Mc Hammer both performed to the celebs and capacity crowd at the wild pool.
