Celebrity Justice
Chris Brown: So Sorry

Chris BrownIt only took Chris Brown a week since we broke the story of his alleged beatdown of Rihanna to release a statement... but here it is.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds."

A spokesperson for Rihanna declined to comment.

61. 27!
I am not a disgrace. I'm just saying rihanna needs to speak up. what he did was wrong. But the both play a role not just Chris Brown.

62. B.S. Complete & utter b.s. to make him seem more innocent & cover up his tracks.

To Tamara:

it's people like you that think it's OKAY to beat women b/c they had it coming. that makes me sick.

63. there is one good thing i can say about mr. brown, he has one hell of a writing team. he totally needs the guidance of a pastor because he needs to find jesus. he needs to go to jail just like the rest of the woman beaters. GROW UP CHRIS YOU ARE A CHILD THAT THREW A FIT AND NOW YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

65. "... over what transpired." Do people really talk this way? Since one of transpire's meanings is *to leak out* Brown might have chosen his words more carefully. This statement sounds self-serving -- no sense of remorse, sorrow, or sadness here.

66. why would anyone defend him. Strange people who do. They must be either abusers themselves or have and or being abused now. Also the Police have made statements about this which make it clear that Chris did the beatings and stated the injuries on RiRi. It's just a matter of what charges now. Let me make this clear to all those who doubt, YOU DO NOT BEAT A WOMAN! No matter what or how she "pravokes"....ever! No excuse, period, end of subject!

67. If Chris were innocent, no attorney would stop him from saying so publicly. In fact, if he were innocent, and said as much publicly, it would help his case tremendously. So we must conclude that Chris is guilty of beating Rihanna, and that his attorney is anticipating fashioning a plea bargain agreement for him. If I were accused of doing things I had not done, I would come forth and say so. He did something criminal to Rihanna, we just don't know which of the abuse details are true.

68. Yo, Big Man - CB..

69. Okay when they show pictures of her maybe I would change my mind. But knowing how the media is the would do anything to get a story. You never know he could have been defending himself or something. So unless you have proof that he beat her and stuff and not this he said she said BS don't go saying Chris is guilty. I'm not defending him I'm just saying. But overall its a terrible story true or not true. I wish Rihanna the best and even Chris.

70. What about Rihanna?? He's sorry about what happened but he didn't seem sincere in his apologies directly to Rihanna. I'm happy that he's opening up about this situation but he should get real help. A pastor cannot help him solely. I can't believe he beat Rihanna up. She was his first real serious relationship. I guess he couldn't handle a breakup after he got caught CHEATING.

71. PEOPLE IM NOT SAYING WHAT CHRIS BROWN DID WAS OKAY! NEVER WOULD I THINK THAT. OF COURSE YOU DON'T EVER RAISE YOUR HAND TO A WOMAN. I'M NOT TRYING TO COVER UP HIS TRACKS. IM NOT TRYING TO SAY HE IS INNOCENT AND RIHANNA IS GUILTY. DONT SAY I'M PATHETIC. THEY BOTH HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. THATS ALL IM SAYING!

72. I truly think Rhianna is hurt worse than they are letting us on to. Normally you get in a fight or accident, you go to the ER and they send you home in a few hours. This poor girl has had to cancel shows and other events for the coming month!! That's a long time in the entertainment world. It really sounds like the rumours of the broken jaw/eye socket could be true.

73. Chris Brown is a vicious, violent thug. Good thing she's rid of him. His career will NEVER be the same.

74. Some of you people are so moronic that its besides comprehension. He is apologizing thus acknowledging that he beat RiRi down. His pops was saying how remorseful he was, thus once again acknowledging that he beat RIRi down. The police report says he beat her. They have a witness who observed/heard the beatdown and called 911. RiRi had marks, bruises, and bites which were photographed. There is no question that he beat her down. Why he did it, we don't know, but does it really matter? THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT HE DID. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS NEVER OK AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE MINIMIZED. IF HE GETS A SLAP ON THE WRIST THIS PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR WILL CONTINUE AND POSSIBLY ESCALATE. ALL THE DUMBASSES SAYING HE PROVOKED HER NEED TO GO BACK TO KINDERGARTED AND LEARN THAT HITTING ANOTHER PERSON IS NEVER OK. HE SHOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY, BUT HE DIDNT. NOW MOST OF YOUR FANS (WITH A BRAIN/SELF RESPECT) WILL WALK AWAY. HE NEEDS REHABILITATION. . . .IN JAIL.
