Chris Brown Continues His PR Push
Chris Brown claims he and Rihanna had a “sturdy, great” relationship.
The 20-year-old singer – who was recently sentenced to five years probation and six months community labor for assaulting his on/off girlfriend in February – insists he and Rihanna were very close before the incident.
He said in an interview with Larry King last night:
“Our relationship was pretty good. We had a pretty sturdy and great relationship.
“I'm not saying domestic violence is a part of relationships. We're both young, nobody taught us how to love one another. No one taught us a book on how to control our emotions, our anger.“I'm not trying to fall on the fact that I'm young. There's a lot of stuff I wish I could have changed that night.”
He was also reluctant to discuss the Miami holiday he and Rihanna took shortly after the event.
During the vacation – when the couple stayed at P. Diddy’s villa - Chris drew criticism as he was seen playing with friends and riding jet skis, leading some to argue he was not repentant.

He argued:
“It was sort of like a 'Romeo and Juliet' story, like both sides not wanting us to kind of have contact, so we just got away and just wanted to… That's the main reason I was photographed on a jet ski.
"I know I got a lot of flak from that, and other people were like, 'Well, why is he on a jet ski? Why is he just acting like there's no care in the world?' Because I was rekindling my relationship with my friend.
“We did get back to together at that time. I'm pretty sure we can always be friends, and I don't know about our relationship, but I just - I know definitely that we ended as friends.”
As part of his punishment, Chris will pick up trash and clean graffiti in Virginia.
He said:
“I feel like with what I'm capable of doing as far as influencing people, influencing kids, I could do a lot more to help the community other than picking up trash. I'm not saying it's something wrong... but there's a lot more that I could do, inside of our community.”
He is also barred from contacting the 21-year-old ‘Umbrella’ singer for the next five years, which he admits will be “hard and difficult, but fair”.

I watched to whole interview and I wasn't impressed one bit. He never maned up and confessed to what he did instead he kept dodging questions and tried to hide behind excuses like he's a just "kid" he doesn't know better and that no one's taught him how to love....ARE YOU KIDDING ME??! My daughter is 3 years old and she knowS not to hit people!! PLEASE- if you wanna go on national television SHOW that you're truly remorseful..

"Nobody taught us how to love one another. No one taught us a book on how to control our emotions, our anger."
I'm pretty sure love isn't smacking someone around. He can't seem to man up at all. I'm embarrassed to be from the same state as him.
'We were young and nobody taught us to love one another'?!?! WHAT? I grew up in an abusive household until I was 17, met a wonderful man at 19, we fell in love and have been together ever since. We got married and have out first baby on the way. We are happily together with a committed, stable love. NO ONE TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE EITHER. Get a better excuse. ASS.

Yeah, i agreee that "no one taught us how to love' statement is pretty lame! The more he talks....the more I can't stand him. So for all those people who said "we dont know the whole story, let's hear him out"....there you go! He's a Jerk!! ***annie***

He shouldn't even do interviews, he's just making it worse for himself. People's opinions are already formed and there's no going back. The only person he needs to make amends to is Rhianna.
He's not very articulate.

The PR isn't working for him, he's coming off looking like an idiot. Something tells me that it wasn't the first time their relationship had become violent.

I think that's because he probably is an idiot. He really is not a smart guy. Did he even graduate from high school? He can't put together a coherent thought. And what was he thinking with that outfit he wore...the baby blue sweater with the bow tie? He looked and sounded ridiculous. Even his lawyer couldn't save him.
The other side of this equation is that she was hitting him as well.It was abuse from both sides. Now she's done topless photos. I'd say bad choices.

WHAT A MAN!!... "I mean, that's relationships. I wouldn't say it's OK. I think, just in relationships in general, there's chances where you lose your temper or like arguments get heated or whatever the case may be. I'm not saying domestic violence is a part of relationships. I feel like that we're young. We're both young. So nobody taught us how to love one another. Nobody taught us a book on how to control our emotions or our anger. I'm not trying to fall on the fact that I'm young. I'm just saying it's a lot of stuff that I wish I could have changed that night." WHAT A FKING IDIOT--BLAME EVERYONE BUT YOURSELF--TOUGH GUY BEATING UP ON WOMEN. WHO PICKED YOUR OUTFIT, FARRAKAN??

He should shut up already. He's not convincing anyone. I'm so dissapointed with Rhianna for having taken him back. She has a right to make her own choices but she should consider the youth that looks up to her.

no one taught him how to love? good Lord, what a twit. does he think there are classes? lame excuses...

why would he even do an interview? he needs to take his punishment and deal with it. instead of making things better, it seems like he's making them worse. he's just reminding everyone of what he did.

I don't believe that he's sorry. He's sorry he got caught. It's too bad his songs are so darn catchy! I won't be buying his albums, that's for sure.
