(thatshiphop.com)Rihanna says her assault at the hands of Chris Brown in 2009 was a wake-up call that changed her forever. She tells the British edition of Marie Claire, “I have to say I felt really confused. I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel, and I woke up and I knew it was over. [Now], I feel like I smile for real this time.People feel my energy is different. When I smile, they can tell that it’s pure bliss and not just a cover-up.” –Christina Isaacs
