Rihanna has said she felt "mortified" after naked photos of her leaked online in 2009.

The images, taken for then-boyfriend Chris Brown, showed the singer in a number of provocative poses.

Rihanna told Rolling Stone she had just arrived in Hawaii when she learned that the pictures had been published on the itnernet.

"I could barely stand. I went to the first bathroom I saw and just sat in the stall with the door open," she said.

"People kept coming in and staring at me sitting on the toilet bowl. I was mortified. I didn't even want to leave the airport."
