Rihanna may have been ordered to stay away from former boyfriend and fellow entertainer Chris Brown, but according to the diva, love for Brown remains in her heart.
"He was definitely my first big love," Rihanna tells Diane Sawyer in a forthcoming interview set to air on ABC's 20/20 Friday.
Sitting down with Sawyer, as pictured, Rihanna reveals, for the first time, what happened in February.
As reported, Brown plead guilty to felony assault charges after the attack and has since spoken on the incident online and notably on CNN's Larry King Live.
While Rihanna has been, for the most part, quiet since the incident she admits what happened could have happened to anyone.
"...This happened to me...it can happen to anyone," Rihanna told ABC.
Rihanna's sit-down with Diane Sawyer airs Friday at 10pm on ABC.

I understand the pragmatic view of those who say they should go their separate ways forever, but I also know, from my own experiences and ones of those close to me, that first love (especially when it grows out of friendship) is irreplaceable. Certainly, both parties can go on to have successful and fairly happy lives while leaving this relationship behind them. But, from my experience and observation, that that kind of unreconciled love will haunt people for a very long time. The judge's stay-away order in this case has only prevented Rihanna and Chris from being able to work through their issues and make some clear-headed and rational decision about the direction they each (or both) want to take. O'm not saying that Rihanna and Chris should be together, but I am saying that they should have the opportunity to figure it out on their own. It saddens me that Rihanna has chosen to follow Jay's advice(becoming the voice of domestic violence) instead her own instincts.
Peace.
U KNOW WHAT IM GOING WITH TEE..ON THIS ONE THEY BOTH R SO MUCH IN LUV WITH EACH OTHER..I KNOW SHE NEEDS TO DROP THAT COURT ORDER AND GET WITH CHRIS...MAYBE NOT MARRIED..BUT GET BACK AND JUST LUV LUV..THE TIME APART WAS LONG SO NOW HE STILl TALKS ABOUT HER..AND WE WILL SEE WHAT RIRI SAYS TOMORROW..SO ALl HATERZ FALl BACK I LUV THEM BOTH..HE HAS LEARND HIS LESSING..SO FUCK OFF EVERYBODY!!!
if they should get married that is their call, and i trust that if they should ever consider marriage he had better think about that long and hard since so many of his fans hate rihanna so . that might make chris lose a lot of his fans and stands. rihanna needs a man and not a boy who is still wet behind the ears. she needs a heavy weight not a light weight someone who will love her for her and someone whos not a player, player chris people wanted his azz back so now they have got him so rihanna is moving on with her life he needs to do the same, its much better that way. since he has never tried to do nothing but try and kill her thats not love thats like he hates rihanna to . bless her heart she loved him and still have feelings for her and his people are still trying to hit her with a knock out blow , geesh.
it happens everyday i know she still love him they should get married f*** haters
