Chris Brown Apologizes in Video to Rihanna (VIDEO)



Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Something just doesn't taste right about this Chris Brown apology. Maybe it's the 6 long months it took him to finally give it, maybe it's the teleprompter-y reading of a statement with a lot of lawyer-y segments in it, maybe it's the Star Trek ensemble he's wearing while he delivers it. I'm not sure. But my gut says he hasn't earned a return to the spotlight yet. I don't feel like Chris Brown ought to be banned from working forever, everyone deserves a chance at redemption. But this just feels a little too soon and too caclulated, IMO. If he apologizes and doesn't follow it up with a new album this winter, I'll be able to credit it a lot more.

Singer Chris Brown has finally addressed his assault on Rihanna in a Youtube Video. Brown, looking directly into camera [video below], spoke on the matter, saying, "Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility."

Brown indicated he would participate in interviews in the future. "I felt it was time for you to directly hear from me that I am sorry. I have tried to live my life in a way which can make those around me proud of me - and until recently, I think I was doing a pretty good job.

"I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again - but unfortunately I can't. I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses..."

This Bloodclot should not get off that easy. If Rihanna was family to me his light skinned ass would not be in the spot light this fast because i would have beat him near death. Your American men need to learn how to protect the lady in your life, not beat them but then again he is just a young boy living in a grown mans world. He's a punk ass!!!!!!!

For the above comments, lame or not, he gave an apology. Though what he done was wrong. Everyone deserves a second chance. If he was not sincere only him and god knows. We are not here to judge. We all have done things in our lives that we are not proud of. God will Judge him.

DIS LYING RASS HOLE. MEK A DID MY FAMILY AND SEE WHAT DO DOWN. CHRIS BROWN IS A RASS PUSSYHOLE HIM NEED FI GET SOME BLOODCLOT KICK AND BOX AND THEN SEE HOW IT FEEL..

Posted by: KRIS at July 21, 2009 8:40 AM

Who are we to judge? I BELIEVE he is sincere.Its not always easy to openly apologise and admit your actions were wrong.Chris needs to get his life back together.Forget about Rhianna completely cause she is a slut has been from the time she was going to school at Combermere.His actions were wrong and SHE HAD NO WRITE GOING THROUGH HIS PHONE!!!!!!

We as society put entertainers on pedestals and when they do something we feel we have the right to pass judgement. Their human and we all make bad decisions, mistakes and do things we are ashamed of. I'm not saying what Chris Brown did was right and I don't agree with domestic violence of any kind. According to the laws of the land he's went before the courts and received his punishment. As he stated he's apologized to Rhianna numerous times and now he wanted to apologize to his fans. He's trying to move on with his life and we are trying to press the pause button on his life and his career. This whole ordeal is too much there are entertainers that have taken a human life that gets forgiven and we support them. He's young and made a grave mistake. If God condemned us for everything we do none of us would be here today. He still has to answer for this on judgement day just like we do for all our bad decisions, mistakes and do things we are ashamed of. It's time to let this go and allow them to grow, learn and get on with their lives. As far as Chris Brown's career this shouldn't affect your decision on buying or playing his music he has a gift that I hope we will continue to support. They are both talented and I can't wait to see what music or movie they'll do next. As their fans we should let this go. Why are we carrying a grudge around for them Rhianna's dating and appear to be living fine. She's moved on whay can't we?

I believe its both of there fault. I was raised in family were my dad beat my mother, So i thought I could fight men and I did for a while. It takes forgiveness on both parts. And be careful who you judge!

Posted by: Mothers Love at July 21, 2009 12:11 PM

yes, he did wrong and at first I was angry like everyone else that he needed a beat down (as a bajan woman myself we don't stand for that shit)...but he is not the first to abuse a woman, and certainly not the last,unfortunately this is done everyday and entertainers are no exception ...it's only because they are entertainers they are in the spotlight as they are...who are we to judge...only god can judge him

Posted by: donna at July 21, 2009 12:24 PM

i feel like some people are being really mean to chris brown no im not syaing what he did was okay cause it wasnt but why should you judge and call him all kinds of names i think he should have a second chance if it was you would want a second chance and evryone to forgive you

Posted by: reshae at July 21, 2009 1:03 PM

I am sincerely praying for Chris Brown and Rihanna. He is a young wonderfully gifted talent. It will be our loss if he is not given another chance to entertain us. If this episode did not change his heart I don't know what will.

Hopefully Rihanna learned her lesson as well--be a lady Rihanna, you have everything it takes.

WHO GIVES A SHIT !!!

Posted by: r at July 21, 2009 2:03 PM

Hey..um I think if he's truly sorry he should be forgiven, everyone makes mistakes, some worse than others so i think we should give him a break though what he did was wrong.

Posted by: Ursulaa at July 21, 2009 2:06 PM

I feel like dude really has come to terms with what he has done and he is being an adult about the situation. I feel his apology was sincere and I hope that he is able to come back on the scene and continue giving his fans what they want. As a few above readers have mentioned celebrities are judged harder than individuals that are not, and I feel that people should realize that before they are celebs they are human first and very much capable of making mistakes. Chris Breezy keep your head up let w God make a way.

Posted by: Hannah at July 21, 2009 2:20 PM

The only problem with this apology is that he keeps saying "I am sorry for what i did" and "sorry for what happened in February". It would be better if he would just say the words..."I am sorry for ASSAULTING Riahanna" just come out with it already.

Plus he seemed a bit egotistical the way he's all like..."yah i've been so blessed with fame and riches and i should know better..." but then again...if Chris read this he'd be like in his head "whatever!!! you don't KNOW me...don't judge me...only God can..." blah blah blah...

Posted by: Brian at July 21, 2009 3:20 PM

It was a good apololgy, I mean he said everything strait out. And apologized...But I still think he should go to prison for attacking Rihanna. And one more thing OOPS there goes his Disney Contract!!!
P.S.
It sometimes looks like hes hesitating...

Chris, I commend you for stepping up and taking responsibility for your actions. It is honorable for you to sincerely apolgize. We all make mistakes and no one is perfect. I pray that you learned an important lesson from this and take the lesson and put it to something positive. You could serve as a wonderful spokesperson to the young people on domestic violence to tell them what not to do. I know people have ridiculed you and judged you, but hold your head up and keep on doing your best. God is definitely not through with you. You know, I feel that instead of the celebrity men who say that they serve as role models criticize you, they should try to help you if they don't do the same thing. I am from the old school and I do believe the african proverb, it takes a village to raise a child. We are all going to fall, but we should learn to not kick each when we are down. I have really been praying for you as I have two adult sons myself, and I pray for your prosperity and that you grow into the MAN that GOD wants you to be, not the world. Be Blessed.

Forget that Island Foreigner. That girl deserved that slap in the face, she is not all innocent either. IM WITH YOU CHRIS BROWN!!!!! You should have not have said sorry!!!!!

Posted by: laquisha at July 21, 2009 4:19 PM

It doesn't matter what anyone feels or thinks about him.God will be his final judge and knows if he is true or not.Some of you people should go to school and learn how to talk and spell.You sound really stupid.

Posted by: Edward at July 21, 2009 8:28 PM

Hi my guy Chriss, i just wonna tell u , u dont have to apologize to anybody, u are a man, a woman deserves a good beating cuz sometimes and almost time they misbehave, sometimes i wounder why God created them, one piece of advice, come to africa, a lot of flashy and homely girls will love u and serve more as a husband, not in white man country women mess up.

Posted by: tony at July 21, 2009 10:04 PM

It takes a man to apologize. Even though one may apologize for his/her mistakes it takes time for the victim to truly accept that apology and then forgive. Christ continue to forgives us from our many mistakes made and I think Rihanna should forgive him for the sake of Christ. Should she revisit the relationship that's a decision for her to make. I would thus say, I do not think it's the time for that. Everyone has to live with the consequences of decisions we make; good or bad.

Posted by: kirt at July 21, 2009 10:16 PM

Who wrote this state of the Brown's nation speech?

If this is an apology from the heart, why did he read it off a teleprompter?

Thank God He's given Chris,and us, a 2nd chance and time to correct our behaviours, mine too. I hope the young man can put this behind him and mature into a man of integrity and grace. He seems to have a supportive and nurturing mother. I hope her love will help him through. Those cussing folk out there need to extend grace, not judgement on their brother. We all have fallen short of the mark.

Posted by: jt at July 22, 2009 12:06 AM

you people don't even know the whole story...rihanna started it all and if she didn't go batsh!t after she read his phone messages this would have never happened. she is way too controlling.

Posted by: come on at July 22, 2009 12:22 AM

Hey ppl, chill. We all make mistakes. Imagine you having your mistake splash on tv! It was UNACCEPTABLE what he did, but he can only move forward and work on each day. Calling him names doesnt solve anything. Ppl should never result to violence, but violence is a result of various factors. Violence comes from many areas in life, from tiredness to no food or home. Lets stop looking at the speck in a strangers eye and look at the log in our own...

Posted by: BlackPrincess at July 22, 2009 12:50 AM

Kate, Why don't you apply for a job with Chris and write his appology for him? You wan't him to use certain words which apparently he did not use. The guy said he is sorry, so let it be and go find something else to do. May God forgive both of them because they have not sin against man. Let them grow - they both kids.

Posted by: IDNoble at July 22, 2009 1:14 AM

To air is human and to forgive is divine.pls rihanna do not let ppls view be a
trouble to ur reconciliation,brown is the man for you hence he can apologise on video he still needs you.

Posted by: CHIBUZO at July 22, 2009 3:40 AM

Like my gee mr tony said, chriss u are wrong to apologise, she is just a woman and nothing more, if a woman is beating by a good man then she is not a good person, my guy chriss u are a good guy, come to africa, we have all sizes and shapes u will ever wanted in a woman, we africans we dont take shit from ill mannered ladies. may God bless u chriss.

Chris breezy, well we all make mistakes in life, so we shouldn't condemn or judge people when they make mistakes, but being a celebrity comes with certain amount of responsibility, chris is a proud arrogant cock sucking motherfucker,there's no escuse for what he did,he should have been more in control of d situation being a man.he should be banned 4rm entertaining, his career is nw officially dead, he is not sorry for what he did. Did he hit rihana cos he had "no air"

Posted by: david at August 3, 2009 6:48 PM

I believe that Chris Brown is truely sorry. But i do understand that Rihanna had atleast something coming for her for disrespecting his privacy but beating her wasn't the answer. I do not believe however that Chris Brown should be banned from entertaining as it is his career! Singing is his life.
The thing is is that everyone makes mistakes, no matter how big or small there's always a consiquence, Chris Brown is only around 20 years old making him not long out of his teens and he's already well into his career, he's leading an adult life and isn't much like any other people his age. I think the worst thing in all of this is the fact that the media has got involved, i know they are there to get the gossip to let the public know and people say they're famous - they know it's going to happen but how would we like it if after something had happened between yourself and a partner and it seemed everyone in the country or even abroad knew about it, would make everything worse. I know he's meant to be a role model and i believe he still is, after everything thats gone on and all thats been said about him he's still able to say in front of a camrea knowing that millions will watch and tel the world he was stupid. It takes guts and after doing something like what he did people would want to hide away and not show there face but Chris just wants to show thats not who he is and he was wrong to be like that!
I respect Chris Brown in so many ways.. he is still a role model to me as he's showed me what happens when these things happen.
Just leave him alone!

Posted by: Olivia at August 10, 2009 2:20 PM

I have spotted a mistake in my post above... Chris Brown SHOULDN'T be banned from his career in entertaining!

Posted by: Olivia at August 10, 2009 2:25 PM

try to be sorry men every one can make a mistake

Posted by: mutore david at August 18, 2009 10:14 AM

no matter what chris brown did you all should shut the fuck up and mind your own business and if you were chris brown you would want a second chance to replay that moment and really do it the right way.... so if you got anything else to say hit me up and we can deal with it.. all yall haters of chris brown need to shut up and go find somehing better to do and stop talking about him..... hi haters you see him bitches....bye haters
