Rihanna has been making the media rounds to promote her new animated film, Home, and she recently sat down for a Time magazine interview alongside co-stars Jim Parsons and Steve Martin.

When questioned about her favorite film as a child, RiRi answered with the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast.

Asked why that film has stuck with her over the years, Queen Rih replied, "I fell in love with the Beast. That’s pretty much been my dating record so far."

Now, clearly, the unlucky-in-love singer was making a joke at her own expense, but it’s hard to imagine she didn’t have her D-bag ex Chris Brown in mind when she made the remark.

Granted, Rihanna is dating Leonardo DiCaprio these days (allegedly) and the beefed-up, bearded Leo is looking mighty beastly these days, but only one of her exes is known for flying into violent rages that could terrify an entire mansion full of anthropomorphic furniture.

Chris has been called a "beast" in the past, but that was in reference to his skills in the bedroom…and maybe what’s what Rih was talking about here. 

Something tells us, however, that when Rihanna laments her romantic past, she looks at Breezy as the real dud amongst her exes…and when she calls him the Beast, we’re guessing she doesn’t mean it as a compliment.
