Rihanna: Going back to Brown after beating 'wrong'

Rihanna: Going back to Brown after beating 'wrong'

Rihanna said Thursday that she feels "embarrassed" for returning to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown after he beat her in April and warned other women struggling with domestic violence to not let themselves be blinded by love. "It's completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself," the 21-year-old singer said on "Good Morning America" in her first TV interview following the beating. "I'll say that to any young girl who is going through domestic violence: 'Don't react off of love.'"

There's still time for an upset. Vote through Sunday for Baltimore's biggest celebrity.
