Tears: Rihanna sobbed as she talked about the terrible night her boyfriend attacked her
'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.'
Previously released preview clips of the upcoming TV special Oprah: The Next Chapter, showed Rihanna describe the fall-out from the horrific night after a pre-Grammy party.
She said: 'It was embarrassing it was humiliating... I lost my best friend.'

While producers saved Rihanna's answers for the actual episode, her replies managed to shock the talk show queen.
Oprah exclaims: 'I would have never thought that. You just shocked me.'

During the documentary, which was filmed on August 5, Rihanna went back to her childhood home in the island capital Bridgetown.

Over clips of the interview and footage of Rihanna driving Oprah to visit her old neighbourhood, Oprah said: 'She was thoughtful... She was very emotional... She was vulnerable.'
In brief segments from the one-to-one on the sofa, Rihanna admitted: 'I am super duper terrified of the pedestal that comes with fame...
