10. Rihanna
Bajan Popstar Rihanna grew up watching her drug addict father, Ronald Fenty, physically and verbally abuse her mother for years. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2012, the singer told the talk show host that the abuse she witnessed led to a very strained relationship with her father and would eventually lead to the much publicized abusive relationship with ex boyfriend Chris Brown. Chris infamously beat Rihanna to a brutal pulp the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. Rihanna told Oprah that Chris’ abuse towards her is what finally made her understand her father and slowly repair their father daughter relationship. Rihanna claims that making peace with her father’s past is ultimately what made it possible to forgive Chris. The S&M singer also surprisingly said of her father, “He was one of the best father’s. As awful as he was to my mom at times, it didn’t compare to how great he was as a father.”
