Somewhere Chris Brown's probably throwing a chair right now.

Why? Because Rihanna is talking about him in the new issue of Rolling Stone. And she seems to handle the questions with no trouble.

When asked about why she agreed to let a judge ease the restraining order against Brown, she explains, "That's my decision. It doesn't mean we're gonna make up, or even talk again. It just means I didn't want to object to the judge."

She hasn't heard from Brown in a very long time. "We don't have to talk ever again in my life," she says. "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."

Other highlights:

-On the aftermath of the Brown incident: "I put my guard up so hard. I didn't want people to see me cry. I didn't want people to feel bad for me. It was a very vulnerable time in my life, and I refused to let that be the image. I wanted them to see me as, 'I'm fine, I'm tough.' I put that up until it felt real."

-On S&M being semi-autobiographical. "Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of (you). That's fun to me...I like to be spanked."

-On sexting: "When you're not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing. Well, Skype is safer. But a picture lasts a long time. When you're alone, and those horny moments come up, pictures can be very handy."
