Chris Brown Releases Statement About Rihanna Incident
"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 writings under my name are frauds."
-- Chris Brown
What do you think about Chris' statement? Will we ever know what really happened? Do we have a right to? There are always three sides to a story right?
He is no role model and should damn well feel sorry and ashamed for what he has done..... He needs to go underground and out of the public eye until he sorts this out for himself... he needs ALOT of help..(and so does she... )
Rihanna is to blame too If he beat her before and she didnt leave at that time. What did she expect if she stayed with him. Beat me once, shame on you...beat me twice.....I'm a dummy for sticking around...period!
What did she expect? Well, probably (like most victims of domestic violence) that he would change. Your logic is way off base and comes from someone who has never been beaten by a man who she desperately hopes will change. Chris has likely done this before. I too can only wonder why she would have stuck around this long, but I've never been abused like this. You're obviously young...I'm sure you've got years ahead of you to change your mind.
Age has nothing to do with it! What do you mean I'm probably young. It doesn't matter whether I've been beaten by a man before, does that change anything? She SHOULD HAVE LEFT! You have one good chance to put your hands on me . If you stick around to see if he changes, the next time he beats you, you are to blame as well, not just him. Don't be stupid. Just because she hoped he would change doesnt mean she was right for staying with him.
Cass, you obviously have ALOT to learn. It's not that easy to just "leave" an abuser. There is much more than that in such a situation. It comes down to her enviorment, how she was raised, her self confidence, fear... you act like it is so simple when you really have no idea. Have a little compassion. And by saying she should have got up and left is just letting Chris off the hook. You didn't mention what a crime it is to beat a woman, and how it is NEVER acceptable or justified.
No one said it is easy, just because its not easy doesnt make it ok to stay. It's a crime to beat ANYONE! not just women. I know how hard it is...I was a victim of abuse, but guess what! I left, I didn't make excuses about it. I grew a pair and walked away. This man isnt even her husband. I could see if they were in a binding marriage, then I could see someone sticking it out and waiting for change, I wouldnt do it myself, but I could understand if someone did, but a boyfriend...oh no!, I understand she loves him and she has all of these feelings for him, but honey, SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT HIM, as soon as he put his hands on her. Do you know what she said to him when she stuck around the first time? she said. "You can beat me again, you can do something like this to me, and I will still stick around, please continue to disrespect me." Stop with the excuses about how hard it is.Yes...it's hard...Yes, you will cry yourself to sleep at night...Yes.......you will be hurting so bad without him....but NO.....It's not ok to stay...If you stay, you are to blame as well.....She's not a child, or a women who did not have a choice. She had a choice she chose to stay, and this is the result. They were both wrong, if he did this before and they were still together.
Noooooooooo. Your wrong. Your dead wrong. A binding marriage? Really? Come on, the piece of paper doesn't mean a thing. Most of the time the ability to leave has a lot to do with the intensity of the bond b/tw the 2 people. And most abusive relationships are intense. Also it's great that you could just leave, but maybe that had to do with the environment you were in, or the quality of support you would or did get from friends or family, or maybe you were raised to believe in your own worth, or myriad of other possible factors. But really? I find your comments COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE. If you were abused I don't think you would have the balls or the ignorance to sum up the reason for staying as missing the abuser later. There is probably a codependence issue on Rhianna's part, but your comments are still swill. They are simplistic and childish.
whatever...you speak for the weak.....I'm done.
Koodos to you. Some of these comments really irritated me. No one realizes that an abuser is a very manipulative complex person. I have just left an abusive relationship after almost thirteen years. It is a very hard thing to do. I was never in an abusive relationship before and my father did not beat my mother. I was a confident, strong, intelligent woman when we started dating. What most people do not realize is an abuser slowly chips away at their victims being and eventually it in some demented way the victim tends to blame theirself for the abuse. The abuser also finds ways to trap the victim by cutting them off from the world, telling the victim how everyone thinks it is the victim who is screwed up and even manipulating the victims family and friends into the little game the abuser plays as well. For example, everytime I have left my husband has manipulated my family into supporting him and leaving me in the cold, making me feel like at times the only way to have my family is to stay with him. He tells my children everything is my fault so they behave intensly and rebel against me. Some other ways the abuser keeps the victim in is by financial means, fear, threats, stalking, and more. The abuser is a sick person, but eventually the victim becomes a little ill theirselves. Have you not heard of crazy making situations. Also most abusers tend to have Dr Jeckle Mr Hyde personalit8ies and no person can compare to them when they are not abusive, there is no middle ground. The victim will tend to miss the good guy and then think well if he/she fixes this or that the good guy will come back if only the victim is good enough. There are days I still struggle and want to go back and fix everything. I am going through counseling so hopefully this time I will not go back and it is a fight to stay away. So before you judge maybe you should wake up and look around because it is not always as simple as people make. Onde again thanks NoWayChild
I don't know what words I would choose to use to apologize for "what transpired" but I sure as hell would try to do a better job than this. I hope his pastor has some pretty strong words and I hope God can change what is clearly deep down inside of him. If he has it in him to raise his hands (fists) to a woman then as far as I'm concerned he's beyond help.
I forgive him! Now he can go back to making beautiful misic, and that transexual Rihanna can stay in Barbados "Forever"

The choice of photos to every post related to this subject is ridiculous. Always "saddened frowned whatever" photos of Chris or Rihanna.
3 sides to the story? Which side explains HER bruises and the fact that he had none???? DUMB STATEMENT

We still have no idea what happened. Honestly, I don't know if I want to know. I can't imagine having the whole world know your ugliest flaws as a human. I hope this doesn't get spun into a big PR circus. The "spin" always makes me sick.
Vera means three sides to every story, his, hers and the truth. The only people that really know what happened and why are Chris And RiRi. The rest is speculation; I want to move on from this story, but I have a feeling is going to take over this summer.

Isn't it funny that people start to run to God and to use God when they're in trouble? What kind of relationship is that?
Visit my fashion blog!
He will FOREVER be known as the kid who hits women. And he deserves that.
Too little, too late.
Well I, for one, am pleased with how this is turning out - so far. Shouldn't every woman beater lose as much as he has so far (reputation, respect, income, etc.). I don't know if it's too harsh, but if every man who ever beat up on his woman was held as accountable as he is being so far, maybe more men would think twice before going over the edge. I feel sorry for RiRi for what she's going through, but hopefully the media coverage will not allow him a second (third, fourth or whatever this is) chance. Maybe it will force her to move the hell on with her life.

with God all things are always possible...but just because someone is forgiven doesn't excuse or erase the consequences of really bad choices. recompense would be the operative word.
It's too bad Chris didn't think of God, or his pastor, or his mom when he chose to raise his fists and beat.
AMEN !!! (but we don't know what really happened)
No, we don't have the blow by blow account but I think for the most part we've got a good understanding. Too bad God (pastor, mom, etc) wasn't lurking in the glove box to stop him from what he did.
I wonder what he considers his biggest loss to be from all of this...
He apologized for 'what transpired.' How very vague of him.
Who really knows what happened? I think what he did was wrong, but there is always another side to the story. Rhianna could have been abusive too. Who knows, let's wait and hear all the evidence.

I always wonder why people call on God when they get themselves into a mess. It's not just him, it is all these public figures who pull that card--especially the politicians. I mean, why didn't God show up before? Where was he when you were doing the things you shouldn't have been doing? I don't think I will ever understand that. I don't know what all happened but they seem to have had a volatile relationship; and I hope they go their separate ways. If not, this will surely happen again. It always does. And to the person who called Rihanna a transexual: Grow up. Simple as that, just grow up. It is not as hard as some people think.
This whole thing is so awful. I agree with "anonymous" --if only every domestic abuser was held so accountable. At the same time, I wonder why America feels deserving of an apology, or statement. And would anything he had said made a difference? His apology should be to Rihanna, and honestly I'm kind of surprised he made a statement at all considering the potential legal ramifications.
One thing is sure : his carrier is over!!!
I feel bad 4 him, I know its a terrible feeling when you do something wrong and you know it cant be undone! hell I bet everyone who reads this has had that feeling before because we have all done or said something in our lifetime that we wished we could undo. and 2 all that wonder why people run to God when they are in trouble???? who better to go to when things are spinning out of control but God??? I hope both of them will come out of this better people, stronger people, best to them both, they both are in need of healing.

its so sad ur not allowed to make mistakes in hollywood....i noticed how a lot of fans are quick to turn on him and dont even know the situation hopefully he is able to get the help he needs ( as well as rihanna)
beating a woman isnt a "mistake". Its an action. Hes a prick whose career NEEDS to be over. And hopefully the fact that its being played out in the media will keep Riri from going back. What great role models for the kids that love them.
This is lame. I think he's going to do whatever it takes to get out of this mess without actually and explicitly owning up to his actions. What transpired is that homeboy is a domineering asshole who got caught beating on a woman. He just needs to say it... not that it matters at this point. I hope his career is beyond repair. By the way missy915... he didn't make a mistake. He punched someone repeatedly and then strangled her. The amount of time and effort it takes to strangle someone unconscious is huge. Do some research on it. It was not a mistake it sustained rage and anger at someone who could not defend themselves.

oh i see you where in the car with both of them....
yes he did make a terrible mistake and no i dont think this is the first he has done it,and whats worse is that rihanna still stayed with him... i do think his career is basically "over" as of now...i think you forgot that "EVERYONE" is human

Sure, everyone is human... But not everyone beats their significant other. I don't feel sorry for him at all. I hope he gets counseling, and spiritual help, or whatever he needs, in order not to do this again. HOWEVER... I don't care if his career fails, or if he's embarrassed to show his face in public again. He has it coming. You can't do something like this and not expect severe consequences. God forgives... but people aren't going to let something like this go.
No....no, actually I didn't forget that everyone is human. People do make mistakes. I made the mistake today of picking up 2% milk instead of skim. It sucked. I will say that throughout my life I have made many mistakes. But I have never mistakenly beat the shit out of someone. Also, and this one should make you think, when my son got caught driving drunk I told him the only way to get right with me was to go to court and plead guilty. If he did that, I'd support him in any way I could. But he had to specifically ask the judge to NOT be lenient with him. He had to own up to his mistakes and take what was coming to him. I love him too much to allow him to become a valueless, unguided, selfish fool. If there are any fans of Chris Brown that want the BEST for him--- not the easiest--- THE BEST, they'll want to see his tail in jail. Being good person and responsible sucks sometimes. But it's worth the sacrifice.

kiki, I totally agree with you, I thought the same thing (about God).... I just hope Rihanna does stay away from him. Obviously he isn't intelligent enough to use words when he's angry, he uses his fists. Why would you want to spend time with such an idiot! ..........Gisela, your profile picture has made my day ;-) LOL!

Don't you love it when someone apologizes for their actions but then takes it all back by saying something stupid like -- I can't discuss what really happened because of legal issues. Its almost like he's apologizing for beating a girl up but turning around and saying she had it coming. Grrrrrr~

100% damage control. Too bad he didn't have a think before he struck out at Rianna.losethatgirl blog
God? They try to make it sound like they are christian. Christians do not make sexually explicit videos or act in any of the way young hollywood is acting. Miley Cyrus is the biggest offender. How can she claim to be christian and pose in those sexually provocative pics at age, what? 14? It's just awful how celebrities uses God's name in vain for their own image and gain. May God have mercy on them.
I'm saddened too. I'm saddened that everytime some pig finds themselves waist deep they wanna bring God into it. So Gross. Like people are that stupid. God isn't a go to phrase when your trying to get out of trouble, and if he has any sense of biblical teaching he'd know that forgiveness and God's help comes after genuine repentance and awknowlegement of the wrongs you've done. What a boob.

we don't exactly know the extent of the whole story...but IF he did hit her or abuse her in any way, he should've known better--there's just NO excuse in hitting someone, ESPECIALLY a woman. he's just sorry that he got caught and now he has to pay for what he did.

Wonder what would everyone be saying if it was Rihanna that attacked Chris????
If she beat him, strangled him unconscious, and abandoned him on the side of the road, I'd hope people would be just as outraged and think she was psycho too. But the point is SHE didn't. He did. So people think he's psycho and they're outraged by it. See how that works?
First of all, those are his publicists words, not his! I doubt he could put two coherent sentences together! Number two, why do people always find religion when the shit hits the fan??
This is bull! He needs serious therapy and she need to stay FAR AWAY from him!
