See an Excerpt from Karrueche Tran's Rolling Out Article Below:
Today, Karrueche Tran is happy. On a recent afternoon at a plush mansion in Beverly Hills, she is dressed in all black and channeling the vintage look of her idol, Yoko Ono. She’s shooting her very first magazine cover. Between photos, Tran playfully sticks out her tongue at the camera, laughs while participating in wild poses with her crew, and jokes about her petite frame.
It’s a celebration and Tran doesn’t mind being the life of the party. There’s a lot for her to smile about — being around good friends, preparing for the launch of her clothing line (The-Kill), and looking forward to new beginnings.
Moments like this are truly appreciated.
But when it comes to discussing the issues surrounding the ongoing saga involving herself, Rihanna and Chris Brown, she is noticeably reticent. How can you blame her?
The last 18 months have been a whirlwind for Tran. Falling in love and building a relationship is never easy for anyone. Imagine doing it as the world watches.
Somewhere in between falling in love with Chris Brown and pursuing a modeling career in California, Tran noticed her world had changed.
“I first realized there was a change [when] more people would talk about me in blogs and such,” Tran said later during her exclusive interview with rolling out. ”And the paparazzi would take pictures and follow me when I wasn’t around Chris [Brown]. I was like ‘Chris is not here, why are you following me?’ But I was constantly seeing myself on blogs and websites. It was kind of weird.”
There are challenges to dating a superstar. Particularly when your boyfriend hasn’t quite extricated himself from his previous relationship with a woman who is also a superstar. Suddenly, Tran found herself in the middle of a love triangle. It was a turbulent ride that seemed to build momentum with every move or statement made by the parties involved.
Cryptic tweets and Instagram posts were the first shots fired by the ”other” woman in the social media war. Rihanna’s lyrics on “Birthday Cake” (“Sweeter than a rice cake”) were interpreted by some as a direct insult to Tran. Indeed, the proverbial roller coaster was going 1,000 miles per hour and there were no brakes to stop the madness.
“It was very hard,” says Tran. “I try my best to just ignore the negativity. Which is hard for me because it’s a lot to deal with. But I try to keep a positive mind and stay strong and not put energy into it.”
Through it all, Tran’s silence spoke volumes.
