Rihanna Dishes on Her Rekindled Love…Can This Hurt Her Brand?
Source: RollingStone.com
In the latest edition of Rolling Stone magazine, where Rihanna graces the cover, she speaks openly about her rekindled love with singer, Chris Brown. Sure, everyone talks about it and some even support their decision to find love in a hopeless place (get it?), but dare I ask the question: Would you go back to an abuser? It may sound harsh or you may not even care, but I’m really curious. Would you willingly go back to someone who beat you to a pulp? Furthermore, would you risk your brand, your endorsement deals, you image, etc. all in the name of love? Does love really conquer all?
