After being attacked by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna refused to see a therapist. She wanted to “figure it out and move on” alone.

While Brown was sentenced to five years of probation and community service as a result of the incident, Rihanna went into hiding for a while. She only recently returned to the music scene with her new album, Rated R.

Still, the starlet will not seek professional help to get over the trauma, telling the New York Times:

Everyone wanted me to see a therapist to just talk about it, and I refused. In Barbados we don’t do that. We keep it in our family, and figure it out and move on. I just put my game face on and went on with my life.

Amazing how she’s been able to give tell-all interviews lately and not break down. Such a strong girl!
