The new episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” sees the talk show icon sitting down with Rihanna on her home island of Barbados.

The latest previews offer a hint of the topics the two discuss, including the pop singer’s former relationship with Chris Brown, which ended abruptly following Brown’s assault on her on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards. The incident left Rihanna with a black eye and a swollen lip.

“It was embarrassing,” says Rihanna. “It was humiliating. I lost my best friend. I was resentful. I held a grudge. I was dark.”

The two reconnected recently to perform on remixes of each other’s singles: her “Birthday Cake” and his “Turn Up The Music.”

Oprah’s Next Chapter featuring Rihanna will air Sunday, August 19 at 9/8c on OWN.
