Did Drake and Chris Brown get in a bar brawl over Rihanna?
In the clip below from Oprah's Next Chapter, the 24-year-old explains why she actually felt protective over Brown at the time.
"It was a weird, confusing space to be in because as angry as I was —angry, hurt and betrayed — I felt like he made that mistake because he needed help and who's going to help him?" she says. "[I thought], everybody's going to say he's a monster ... and I was more concerned about him."
