Rihanna: Brown's assault, aftermath 'humiliating'
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rihanna says dealing with the media attention after ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's assault was humiliating, but she now hopes to speak for young women who are afraid to speak openly about domestic violence.

The pop star told Glamour magazine in an interview posted online Tuesday that the police photo of her bruised face that was leaked to reporters added insult to injury.

The 21-year-old says she felt disappointed and taken advantage of, especially when she heard that the two police officers under investigation for the leak are women.

She says domestic violence is a "big secret" that women hide, fearing embarrassment. But she hopes to speak for younger women, whose voices aren't often heard.
