(stlamerican.com) In the latest edition of Rolling Stone Magazine, Rihanna opens up on the revelation that led her to reconcile with Chris Brown. “I decided it was more important for me to be happy,” she tells the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. "I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it.”

Rihanna also told Rolling Stone that Brown was as horrified by his actions back in 2009 as the public. “He doesn't have the luxury of [expletive] up again," she says. "That's just not an option. I can't say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I'm pretty solid in the knowing that he's disgusted by that. And I wouldn't have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility.”
