Rating: Frio™

Rihanna will break her silence and tell all about her beating at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown during two TV interviews this week .

Rihanna was left battered and bruised after a fight with Brown in February (09), which resulted in the Kiss Kiss singer being ordered to stay away as part of his sentence

Brown told his side of the story when he was grilled by Larry King in September (09) - and now Rihanna is expected to open up about the incident for the first time when she appears on Good Morning America on Thursday (Nov 05, 09) and again in TV special 20/20 on Friday night (Nov 06, 09).

A TV commercial promoting the shows on ABC boasts, "Now, for the very first time, Rihanna tells her story".

It will be the first interviews Rihanna has granted since the shocking attack.

Rihanna made her live comeback in September (09) - seven months after the assault - and is currently preparing to return to the charts with the release of her fourth album, Rated R, later this month (Nov, 09).
