Karrueche Tran opens up to Iyanla Vanzant about her relationship with Chris Brown.
Karrueche Tran knew the man she was detailing with when she first started dating Chris Brown, she just didn’t want to believe it.
The 26-year-ancient model got some help facing her demons on OWN’s “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” which aired Saturday night, Tran’s first interview since her latest split from the R&B terrible boy after she found out he fathered a baby girl named Royalty with another woman.

Tran told life coach, Iyanla Vanzant, how she found out about Brown’s daughter “through social media.”
“He wanted to talk in person,” she recalled. “Really, at the moment that I found out, he was texting me saying, ‘I need to talk to you in person.’ And then I get online and I see …”
A visibly emotional Tran vowed she’d never take him back again after 4-years in a tumultuous on-and-off again like affair.
“There ain’t no making up right now,” she insisted. “There’s no making up.”
Tran added, “He’s said he’s sorry. He’s dropped flowers off. He’s sorry for everything. He’s sorry for what he’s put me through.”
If the shocking baby news weren’t enough, she’s also stuck by his side through a jail stint and a like triangle with his ex super star girlfriend, Rihanna.
“I was under the impression that it was a friend type of … not a friend, but it wasn’t what it became to be,” she clarified about why she continued dating him although he was still in communication with RiRi.
Her rude awakening came on Christmas Day 2012 when she was at Brown’s condo and saw images of him and the “Stay” singer cuddling courtside at a Laker’s game.
“I didn’t want to believe it,” she said. “Because I loved him. I’ve never dated a celebrity, I’ve never been in the light that way, so I didn’t know what to expect.”
To say she got a lot more than expected would be an understatement.
Karrueche Tran welcomes Chris Brown home from prison in Instagram photos from June 6, 2014.
“When I first met him, he was nice and charming and I wanted to like him,” Tran told Vanzant. “To be a friend, to be different than all these other girls who would sleep with him in a second or girls who are gonna go crazy, or people who are just gonna use him. I didn’t want it to be that, I wanted it to be uncommon, and that’s how it was.”
Her attempt at loving him differently included waiting to have sex with him.
“I made him wait a couple months. That’s not what he’s used to,” she said.
But for Tran, sleeping around was never her thing.
“I can count on my hand how many guys I’ve slept with in my life, swear to God,” she said. “I don’t just give myself.”
When she finally gave herself to Brown, she gave everything she had. Now, the broken hearted beauty — who shut the Vanzant interview down when it got too personal before returning to end — is finding ways to heal and go past this like for excellent, even if her heart may not want to.
“I still like him. I’ve tried to help him,” she said. “Go to church , pray, yoga meditate. If he wanted to exchange, we’d be in a better place. But that’s the problem. He is hurt but … I’m hurt too.”
