Rihanna has been in the public eye since 2005, but while most people think they know everything there is to know about her, the singer admits that her reputation and the reality of her life are two very different things. In addition to showing major skin in bikinis, partying it up with her friends, and releasing over-the-top music videos, the 27-year-old is actually pretty normal. In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Rihanna gets candid about everything from her rocky romance with Chris Brown to her opinions on casual sex to the Rachel Dolezal scandal.
