Rihanna has admitted she tried to forget her February 2009 assault by boyfriend Chris Brown. Singer Brown pleaded guilty to attacking Rihanna after attending a pre-Grammy Awards party last year and was subsequently sentenced to community service, ordered to attend an anger management course and given five years probation. However, in a recent interview with CNN, Rihanna admitted the intense media coverage of the incident made it difficult for her to cope with what had happened. "That's just a memory you want to erase right away," she explained. "So seeing it plastered over every news channel, I felt like it was a natural disaster that was happening, the amount of attention that it got."
