Oprah Winfrey blames low self-esteem for Rihanna's decision to get back with boyfriend Chris Brown.

Rihanna reportedly split with Brown following the incident, but then revived their romance after spending time together at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' home in Miami, Florida, Mode reports

Winfrey, has slammed the reconciliation as a mistake and puts the singer's decision down to feelings of inadequacy.

She says, "Let me tell you why she (Rihanna) got back with him (Brown). If you go back with a man who hits you, it is because you don't feel worthy of being with a man who doesn't hit you.

"If you think you are a wonderful person, somebody hitting you is really offensive to you."
