In her first televised interview since being assaulted and beaten by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna told 20/20‘s Diane Sawyer she “was wrong” to go back to Brown after he attacked her.

“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” Rihanna told Sawyer in the 20/20 interview. “But again… I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.”

Rihanna’s interview on ABC’s 20/20 sent the show’s ratings through the roof, making it the top-rated show for the night among 18 to 49-year-olds. Watch the Rihanna 20/20 full interview with Diane Sawyer below.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown has responded to Rihanna’s interviews on Good Morning America and 20/20 by saying he wishes his ex would keep the details of the domestic violence incident private. “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us,” he said in the statement to MTV.

As Rihanna speaks out for the first time about being the victim of domestic violence on Good Morning America, the man that abused her is also taking to the small screen to offer up another apology for his actions. Chris Brown sat down with MTV News’ Sway Calloway for an interview airing Friday night, apologizing yet again for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

“When I apologize, I really apologize, definitely, about the situation, like me and her personally, obviously,” Chris Brown says in the MTV interview. “We’ve exchanged, I’ve exchanged my apologies for her, but when I do it publicly, it’s for the people who I let down: It’s for the fans, it’s for all the people, even the sponsors, even the people that have invested in me and thought that I was good enough role model.”

Brown was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community service after pleading guilty to felony assault charges for beating, biting and choking Rihanna, leaving her with numerous injuries. He has since issued numerous public apologies for the attack of his former girlfriend.

“I really wanted to apologize [to] the people that I let down and show people that I am wrong for what I’ve done, but I want people to learn from it and see that I’m really apologetic,” Brown says in the MTV interview.

Brown says he is trying to learn from his mistakes and figure out how to “turn it into a positive and help other people with the situation, and at the end of the day, become the person that you want to be.”

Chris Brown: The Interview airs Friday at 6 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

The first single from Rihanna‘s upcoming album, Rated R, was released on Tuesday. “Russian Roulette” is a dark, somber song that can’t help but evoke the singer’s past relationship with abusive boyfriend Chris Brown.

“Russian Roulette” was co-written and produce by Ne-Yo, who also co-wrote her 2006 hit song “Unfaithful.” The song tells the story of a woman faced with a game of Russian roulette at gunpoint and eerily ends with a gunshot.

“You can see it through my chest/That I’m terrified/But I’m not leaving/I know that I must pass this test/So just pull the trigger,” the lyrics read in part. “As my life flashes before my eyes/ I’m wondering, will I ever see another sunrise?/ So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye/ But it’s too late to pick up the value of my life.”

The creepy lyrics bring to mind Rihanna’s previous relationship with Chris Brown, which ended after he physically assaulted her. Brown pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the domestic violence incident and was sentenced to community labor and five years of probation.

Rihanna’s new album, Rated R, is scheduled for release on November 23.
