Rihanna appeared on Good Morning America Thursday morning to talk about the beating she suffered from her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February, delivering an emotional interview to host Diane Sawyer.

“I fell in love with that person—that’s embarrassing. That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I feel in love with, so far in love, so unconditional [that] I went back.”

The singer also hinted that the pre-Grammys assault was far from an isolated incident. When Sawyer noted that women on average will accept physical abuse from a man seven times before leaving him, Rihanna shot back

“Eight or nine actually. And I don’t want that to happen…It’s completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself. The minute the physical wounds go away, you want this thing to go away. This is a memory you don’t want to have ever again.”
