Rihanna told she now wants to act as an unofficial spokesperson for victims of domestic violence.
"Domestic violence is a big secret," she said. "I want to give as much insight as I can to young women to help speak for them."
The 21-year-old Umbrella singer said she had been dismayed that a photo taken by police showing her facial injuries ended up being leaked to the media.

It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody," she said. "I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the internet, and it's my life.
"I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was (supposedly leaked by) two women."
Rihanna said she was also unprepared for the media frenzy which followed the February incident.
"I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears," she said. "That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day.
"It was like, `what, there are helicopters circling my house?' There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can't go back home?"
