And according to The Mail, Spencer stands to get at least $32 million from the split.

And I have too many vaginas around me at this point.” The problem? “No one asks,” she says. “Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait though. You always find the wrong sh*t when you go looking.” Recent rumors have linked Rihanna to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who was convicted of abusing her back in 2009, something she says the public just can’t forget. “The world hasn’t let go,” she said. “They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything.
