Chris Brown Breaks His Silence About Rihanna Incident
Chris Brown says he is seeking counseling from loved ones and family members, one week after an alleged attack against his girlfriend, singer Rihanna.
“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.”
The 19-year-old R&B singer issued a brief statement today through publicist Michael Sitrick. In it, Brown also says many of the reports about the incident are incorrect, although he doesn’t provide further details.
“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.”
Screengrabs of a fake Facebook page circulated online late last week, but was quickly determined to be a hoax.
Brown turned himself in on Feb. 8 and was booked on suspicion of making a criminal treath, but no charges have been filed yet. He is free on $50,000 bail while the case is being investigated.
On Friday, Brown’s father said his son is at home and “very remorseful” over what happened. Rihanna is now at home in Barbados recuperating.

I will pray for the both of them. I just hope people will stop feeding negative stories about what happened. It wasn’t right what happened, but it’s not right to condemn him like the media has been doing. We are all human and no one is above mistakes. We all go through things like this in our lives, but the only difference is that we’re not in the spotlight like they are… So please, just let everything die down and consider people’s feelings before trying to damage their reputation and lives.

Oh please! We do not “all go through things like this in our lives!” We live in a sick world where celebrities get away with any and everything. People who are standing up for Chris Brown in any way have something seriously wrong with them. Since when did it become okay to physically abuse someone?? In my opinion that is something that is unforgivable. He just needs to go away now because his reputation is ruined and we do not need to let physical abuse become something that is acceptable.

there is no excuse for his actions and to defend them is unconscionable. He did the damage to his reputation and career, nobody else.
