Rihanna's panic attacks

Petrified that her ex is out to destroy her, Rihanna suffers anxiety attacks

Rihanna is a bundle of nerves

Rihanna appears carefree but behind the brave public persona lies a vulnerable young woman who’s terrified of giving evidence against Chris in his trial for domestic violence, which he denies.

Rapper Chris, 20, is alleged to have threatened and assaulted the singer in a bust-up on the morning of the Grammy Awards on 8 February.

If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in prison. But it’s what will be revealed in court which worries Rihanna as she fears that Chris is determined to ruin her life.

A source tells Now: ‘Rihanna’s being punished a second time and she’s horrified that her secrets will be revealed. Although Rihanna’s been hurt by him, they’re still in contact. But her close friends don’t trust him.

‘We blame his camp for releasing naked pictures of Rihanna on the internet. But she wants to keep Chris on side, so he doesn’t reveal all about their love life in court.

'She’s terrified because he knows all her secrets and could destroy her. The stress is so bad that she’s suffering mini panic attacks every time she thinks about taking the stand.’
