'The world hasn't let go... they can't see what I see': Rihanna opens up about reuniting with Chris Brown in Vogue magazine

Several eyebrows have been raised since Rihanna has seemingly chosen to rekindle her 'friendship' with Chris Brown following his vicious assault on her in 2009.

But the songstress has defended her decision to spend time with the R&B star in a new interview for the November issue of Vogue, in which she also poses in a stunning photo shoot.

In her accompanying interview the 24-year-old explains that outsiders have not yet seen how her relationship with Chris has changed since that fateful day three years ago.'The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything,' she said.

'But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.'
