Pop star Rihanna says she feels she has been “punished over and over” by the attention surrounding her assault at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
The singer has opened up about the repercussions of the 2009 incident in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Pictures of her bruised face surfaced after the assault in Brown’s car.
Asked about becoming “a poster child for victims of domestic abuse”, she said she felt forced to relive the “very serious” incident by the media.
She told the magazine: “Well, I just never understood that, like how the victim gets punished over and over. It’s in the past, and I don’t want to say, ‘Get over it,’ because it’s a very serious thing that is still relevant; it’s still real.
