LOS ANGELES - R & b singer Rihanna broke her silence yesterday about the night her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown attacked her, saying he had bitten her, put her in a headlock and left her bleeding and swollen.

“It wasn’t the same person that says ‘I love you.’ It was not those . . . eyes,” Rihanna, 21, told Diane Sawyer in an interview on ABC television’s “Good Morning America” show.
