In it, Rihanna says felt "concerned" for Chris Brown in the aftermath of his assault on her.

She said: "I felt like the only person they hate right now is him. It was a weird, confusing space to be in.

"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."

Rihanna admitted the incident - for which Chris was subsequently convicted of battery and sentenced to 80 hours of community service, five years probation and required to attend a 12-month domestic violence counseling program - turned her world upside down because she "lost everything" that was familiar.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey's OWN show 'Oprah's Next Chapter', she said: "I lost my best friend... everything I knew switched -- switched in a night. And I couldn't control that. It's not easy to interpret on camera, not with the world watching."
