R&B singer Rihanna’s constant companion, Melissa Forde, is urging her bestie to tear down the walls she’s erected around her fragile heart. There are very few people that the rebellious Rihanna will listen to. Melissa is one of them.
It’s clear that the “S&M” singer is an emotional wreck after the severe beating she suffered at the hands of former boyfriend Chris Brown. But in the aftermath of her disastrous past relationships, Melissa is the one she turns to keep her emotionally balanced.
Rihanna desperately wants to be in love. But due to her personality disorder, she has difficulty choosing the proper mate. The problem is, Rihanna craves the attention that only a troubled, emotionally unavailable man can give her.
Still, Melissa only wants what’s best for her friend — even if that means dating the wrong men until Mr. Right comes along.
Melissa is also encouraging the sensitive singer to stop showing her immaturity by reacting to insults from fans on social networking sites. Mel understands that Rihanna thrives on negativity, but she knows it’s not healthy for her.
“She’s always had a thick skin,” Melissa revealed about the singer in the July issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. “Growing up, people made fun of her for having really light skin. She would get teased all the time, so she built up walls,” she says.
She added, “But as she matures, she gets more comfortable with herself.”
And Rihanna says that Melissa has been giving her advice on letting love back into her life. “Melissa always says to me, ‘You need to let your guard down.’ Because even if a guy texts me or says something and he’s trying to be slick, I would never entertain it. I think, ‘That’s bullshit. It’s just an act.’ And Melissa’s like, ‘You’re crazy. Let your guard down.’” She adds, “But I will. It’s going to happen.”
As I told you earlier, Rihanna will be hosting the Grand Opening of the new Vision (tentatively renamed Club Reign) in July. Keep it here for more details on the grand opening and how you and a friend can win a VIP pass!
