Although Brown -- who was sentenced to five years of probation, 180 days of community labor and a year of domestic violence classes for assaulting Rihanna last February -- has publicly apologized for his "inexcusable" actions, she has not yet made any public statements about what happened.
According to an ABC press release, she will sit down with Diane Sawyer, "revealing publicly for the first time what happened last February." In the in-depth interview, Rihanna will also speak "candidly about growing up in Barbados, her family life, and how she has been doing over the last nine months."

Always feel the need to talk when there's something to promote. These so called celebs make me want to vomit.
Wow, nice way to start promotion for your album. Geez...but I guess, whatever. Maybe it had to be done, but you know the execs are cha-chi-nging their way through this!
