Rihanna has revealed that she doesn't want Chris Brown's assault to affect his career.

The singer, who was assaulted by Chris Brown in 2009, has said that she doesn't want ot to ruin his career.

"I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did was a personal thing -- it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows -- that definitely made it difficult for him," Rihanna told Rolling Stone.

She added: "But it doesn't mean we're gonna make up, or even talk again,"
