Watching now…
Update: Chris Brown has just issued a press release on Rihanna’s big 20/20 interview – which is scheduled to air tonight:
“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us,” he said in the statement. “I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”

I don’t have a problem with the press release. He has an album coming out in a few weeks, he has been sentenced and she is coming down with a media blitz that may affect his career.
I’m not sure where I comeout on this other that a man should never hit a woman. However I feel in my gut that there is more to this story and she also hit him as well or participated in some ‘obsessive’ behavior. She said that they were both obsessed.
dont care what obsessive behavior she had or what she did. His face and body never looked like hers.
I think Chris has suffered enough, leave him alone now, he has been punished enough, his young and it must be hard going through a media backlash and people saying your career is over and to make matters worse, having your EX girlfriend slate you further more to the press, he said sorry, his doing his CS, Now leave him alone!
* because of a beating
I just watched the video and it was errie watching him talk about not becoming the man his stepfater was and witnessing abuse in 2006 then speed forward to 2008 to see him do what he said that he would never do. That is deep!
I think that he needs to stay in therapy for a while. I know from taking psych classes that children who are abused or witness abuse either become abusers or are abused- a large % of them. I don’t condone what Chris did but he is paying his price to society, he got punished and he is ina way a victim-
I hope that he has a strong support system around him at this time to withstand what is going on around him. Quite frankly, I’m sickened at both their teams- he has a record coming out first, then she does, he drops a song, then she does, he drops another song, then she does, he drops a video, then she does.
both of them need to go away and get therapy
@jaclyn: I think Rihanna had more to do with this incident with aggression and in past times with chris- this doesn’t give chris a license to abuse her but she doesn’t get a pass either for her obsessiveness- she needs to speak on nog getting caught up with a man and knowing when to leave
I completely believe that what happened, stemmed from his abusive past. I know so many guys that watched their mothers get beat up as children, then grew up to do the same thing repeatedly. Unfortunately, these guys are not in the financial situation that he is, and can’t afford the professional help that they need. And that is what he needs. Not only is he a kid, but he’s someone that has never given us any reason to think badly of him, outside of this one incident. I do think that if he doesn’t get some kind of help, this could happen again. I also think that he shouldn’t date for a while. On the other hand, Rihanna had some to do with this! i don’t think she deserved it by any stretch of imagination, but this started over a a text message for crying out loud! Followed by him getting knocked up side the head with a stiletto, at which time, he tried to get her out of the car. He tried to stop it before it started, and she wouldn’t let him. The biggest lesson to be learned, is that it’s not ok to push someone to the point of losing it, then expecting him to do nothing. should he have done what he did, no way, but i really don’t think it’s not his fault. issues from your past can always come back and haunt you if you’re not careful.
On another note, I’m not trying to say anything bad about her, but i pay close attention to the way things work in the media. And good publicity can do wonders for an album release. that being said, it seems as though she would have done her interview in October, which is national domestic violence awareness month, ( or something like that ) but instead, she chose to do the interview, the month of her new album release. I”m just saying!
when whitney houston was pimping her story on how she smoked crack nobody was saying man she just saying this because her album is coming out. peeps were just like finally she addressed what we already knew. rhianna has an album coming out, there is no way that she would be able to to go on shows without them asking her about that night. she decided to do it when she was ready on her terms.
as far as her needing to admit her obsessive tendencies:
“I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn’t tell the truth. And I wouldn’t drop it,” Rihanna told Diane Sawyer in the interview, portions of which aired Friday morning on “Good Morning America.”
“I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. …
still no reason to abuse someone. lol @ me taking up for her like she fam but this she deserved it crap ticks me off
i agree with “Praying for chris” :
leave the n**** alone. rihanna aint innocent .
First of all, i have always been one who defended his PR but i finally have to throw in the towel coz they suck…i like what they say in that press release but they should have not said anything yet..they should have waited..let her say her piece..regroup and refocus and then comment…secondly, they should have put this sway interview on hold..truth of the matter is, it was not gonna get much shine today and really did nothing for him..the head head PR was on point and he was winning but rihanna will be burying him tonight hence my view that they should have waited…
now onto chris, i personally believe that if today is not a wake up call that he needs to pull up his socks, bring out the big guns he is a fucken idiot..this is no longer a silly childish game..his career is gonna be on a life support after this..if at all he was hanging on to some fairytale, it just got crashed today and hope he realises it..this is not childs play and time to grow the f*** up…anyone with a brain cell can clearly see that she is lying in the stuff i have seen so far..to be honest i have always been the one to say that this girl did not love him..she left his balls to fry for 9 months, what the hell was he expecting…sometimes i think he has to be one of the dummest f**** out coz he got played..the funny thing its was so damn transparent and the idiot could not see it..
ok, enough of the bashing coz i have to believe that amongst all this happening, someone in his team had to have a bigger plan going on hence that is why to date we have not seen his mugshot or heard his 911 call..now its time to bring those things out and bury this b**** in her lies..what he did was wrong but her not taking accountablity for her part is also wrong…bring out the guns breezy of seriously RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!! yet you are the one with talent..smh
I’m Sorry? Now can you please buy my album? LOL PITIFUL
Bottom line is, hes got a whole lot of growing to do and he got plenty time to do so..
Just hope he learns how to cope with the suppressed anger cus that’s what made him burst.
i am glad he whooped that a** that girl is arrogant and controlling. Why if you know the man is cheating do you continue to batter him. I would have just went home like nothing happened and dropped his a**.
I mean come on she knew he was cheating for a while and she went her stinkin island a** went off and started hitting on him whie he was driving. i’ve seen this all before
I don’t feel sorry for Rihanna AT ALL. If you put your hands on anyone expect to get hit.
Now if he just started whooping that a** and she did not touch him at all then i do.
no body care about Rihanna her new album is Devil Worship dont buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Brown CAN NOT and WILL NOT fully admit what he has done to the public. He says that he is sorry about the “situation”. If you closely listen to all of his interviews and written statements he will not associate himself with the act of physical abuse. I think that he is completely hypocritical when he says that he is sorry. This is a classic PR stunt. he says he is sorry but he will NEVER say that with in the same sentence as domestic violence, abuser etc. The public see him apologizing and he doesn’t fully associate himself with the crime he committed. People pay more attention to the apology then the action and his lack of accountability.
All of his actions after this incident do not show him being remorseful. He is in a position to help with charities and so forth on this issue but he would rather sit back and chill with his money. The fact of the matter is, he doesn’t have to do anything. People still want to work with him and people still buy his music. Why be remorseful when everyone around you doesn’t care or doesn’t need you to care. His life style has not changed and he has not grown up. After watching this interview it is just another insult to those that have been in abusive relationships and to the fans that have been following this “situation”.
For everyone that thinks Rihanna is to blame and that Chris needs to be left alone needs a wake up call. Rihanna is a victim and no matter what happened between them it should have NEVER escalated to Chris beating her so severely. Chris Brown will be left alone when he finally accepts what he has done and doesn’t sugar coat it so that he isn’t associated with it anymore.
all u triflin ass bruthas are raised by ya deadbeat daddies to beat women. yall don’t deserve no damn respect unless u have earned it and women don’t deserve to get battered by u period! yall think u deserve to walk on a golden pedestal? wipe ya asses 1st cause ur s*** stank!
Ahrrgg.. This just neeeds to be over with !
To Christina: THANK YOUUUU! I cannot have said it any better. Its so irritating when people say things like “Oh, he made a mistake. Dont judge him.” ” Leave him alone. She brought it on…” “She deserved it.” “I support Chris Brown. He’s apologized!” F*** that!!!!
I have also noticed that he doesnt fulllly take responsibility for the abuse he put on her. It’s always “the situation”. Tell it like it is, Chris!!!!! You beat her and more than likely he would’ve done it again had it not been publicized. And EVEN if she did “instigate” it, it still does not give him the right to hurt a woman. It’s cowardly.
And to those who SUPPORT him…would you support someone (celebrity or not) that did that to you, your mother, your sister, cousin, aunt…etc? I think not. Domestic violence is such a big problem in our world. People that think that what was done is forgiveable…wow. You are a sad, ignorant, human being.
There. That was my 2 cent.
I dont think that he is totally honest with himself,or anybody else.He grew up around violence,and that is what he learned;so i believe that when he gets put back in the situation that he was in with Rihanna with another woman that he will respond in the same way.I am certain that we will hear of another domestic violence situation that involves Chris Brown,and the unlucky woman that ends up with this loser.
seriously though.. stuff happens. i’m not defending what chris did because we all agree that he was so wrong, but it’s time to let him deal and heal. rihanna wasn’t the only one hurt in this situation. i agree with the notion that there was more to the story than has been told..there has to be. but there are worse things that happen on a daily basis in a “normal persons” every day life..he’s human.. HUMAN!!! so he will make a mistake or two, some bigger than others. but NO MAN is to judge God’s child.. because at the end of the day.. chris brown is still a child of God.and if God can forive him..there’s no freakin reason why people should continue to carry on this way..ugh.. let it go.. let chris be..
and for those of you who feel it’s wrong to defend him.. omg get a life!!!! women everyday complain and complain about NOT being equal.. well, don’t get upset if i get in a dudes face and he tips your ass.. that’s the “real world”. eff the rest of the foolishness yall are keepin up..
