Chris Brown FINALLY Apologizes For Beating Up Rihanna

brownfam062209x.jpg

In a new video, Chris Brown is finally apologizing for the brutal assault on Rihanna, which happened nearly 6 months ago. Though Chris seems genuinely remorseful in the clip, we're kind of wondering what took him so long to own up to his actions...

In the video, the R&B star says:

    "Hi, I'm Chris Brown. 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. Although I would do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I felt it was time you heard directly from me that I am sorry. I have tried to live my life in a way that would 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. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very ashamed of what I've done...

    "No one is more disappointed than in me than I am. As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence and I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage could do. I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again. As I sit here today, I can tell you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again, and I promise that. What I did was unacceptable, 100%. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please. I hope that others learn from my mistakes. I intend to live my life so that I am truly worthy of the term 'role model.' Thank you."

Do you think he seems sincere?



Too little too late?

TYPICAL BLACK GUY BEATING UP HIS GF/WIFE AND THEN EXPECTING TO BE LOOKED AT LIKE THE VICTIM! YOUR CARRER IS DEAD! DAMN IDIOT!



Posted by: Kimberly

Anon 2:12 you sound very stupid he is looking for remorse, his career is fine he is still making $ off of his music and rihanna's (he wrote her biggest hit Disturbia) Glad this can finally be over, now lets move on! We still support Larry King lets include on more!



Posted by: Brightchick

His second line answers the question of what took so long. And what he did isn't based on race, like some idiots would say. Domestic violence knows no color--idiots! While I don't condone what he did, I don't think it was without provocation. My mother always taught me that if you pass a lick, be prepared to take a lick. With that in mind, I keep my hands to myself. Maybe RiRi should have done the same. I don't believe for one minute that she is without fault, in fact, she has admitted it. Two young people mades mistakes, one more than the other. It's time to move on. Good luck to Chris. He still has a career ahead of him.

*he isnt looking for remorse

Chris B. is PATHETIC and NOT SORRY!! His SO CALLED APOLOGY is self-serving!! RIHANNA IS THE VICTIM!!! Chris B. is an ABUSER WOMAN BEATER and ALWAYS WILL BE!!!

This is NOT REMORSE!! Chris B. is still an IDIOT SCUMBAG DOUCHEBAG ABUSER PIG!!



Posted by: Sam

Well X17 he told you why he waited, his legal counsel told him he had to wait...if you pay lawyers, you should listen to them! This we said we wanted an apology, now we've got one so LETS MOVE ON PPL! Like Kimberly said, we still support Larry King, Sean Penn, and Josh Brolin, Chris Brown is only different in the fact that he actually apologized for his actions!

Translation: His career is tanking.

haha, you're pathetic chris brown.



Posted by: Eye Opener

Boy - I guess it'll remain to be seen on the their Lifetime movie who really provoked who?

But my bet is on the lady who used to beat her kid brother up with beer bottles!!! ;(

Chris should have been the one performing at the BET awards to honor
MJ!! Cuz Jay-Z is old and doesn't have what it takes anymore!

Good for you Chris for "mannin up" to your side of the farcas - bet the same can't be said about Mr. Jay-Z messing around on Bey and having out-of-wedlock children - abuse is abuse either way you take!!!

Chris - you will rise again! Good luck and blessings.

FUCKING IDIOT BELIEVERS MY ATTORNEYS? HOW IS IT BAD FOR YOU TO BE SORRY AND SAY IT TO THE PUBLIC? STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY EVERYTHING! HES A PIECE OF SHIT AND BETTER START SAVING HIS INCOME CUZ IT'S GOING TO START DRYING UP EVENTUALLY. ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CLAIM IT WONT AND THAT HES GOING TO BE GOOD AGAIN WATCH, NOBODY WILL GO WITH A GIRL BEATER. NOONE IN REAL LIFE WOULD GET A ERASE CARD AND NEITHER SHOULD HE! FUCKING GHETTO PIECE OF SHIT THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES YOU LOOK EVEN A TINY BIT CLEAN AND NOT CONTAMINATED WITH AIDS IS BECAUSE YOUR WELFARE ASS GOT YOUR HANDS ON MONEY.



Posted by: sarah

Posted by: Anonymous

Still not forgiving him. He beat a woman. How can I forgive him for that.



Posted by: reeizzy

wow why are people making this about race they both are young we all know she hit him and she should be making a video to about not hitting anyone she knew what buttons to push on him not saying that he should have hit her because i am not but every man has his breaking point and we all know she pushed him because he had another women on the side.....



Posted by: Anonymous

not race, but about acceptable and DEFINITELY NOT ACCEPTABLE! what a scripted reading the words as he goes faux apology. sad so sad



Posted by: Anonymous

the video is edited and staged.
Chris, we can see you're reading!!

What did Larry King do?



Posted by: the publicist extordaniare

he was foreced into it by his record label, managment and all the hangers on that make a livihood from this guy.....he just does what they say.......just typical publicist fodder to keep everyone's 15% coming in
if he didn't do it well......you've got another thing coming



Posted by: Lily

He should get a Razzie Award for that "apology".



Posted by: Anonymous

he said that he was told not to talk by his attorney...now would you talk if your attorney told you it was best not to



Posted by: Rose

Why are you ppl talking about his race it has nothing to do with the matter at hand DV is colorblind, you probably dont like him because his is black and you wouldnt have liked him if this hadnt happened...own up to that dont try to justify your hatred with DV your sullying a good cause!! To ANON 3:45 Larry king smacked around his wife in public in a resturant, the police were called, and he still has yet to make a public statement other than he had too much to drink...and ppl still love his pathetic ass! Staged, fake, and edited, or not at least this boy owned up to his wrong doing he obviously didnt have to if Larry King and Josh Brolin didnt!



Posted by: Rose

PS Jay-z smacked a girl the pics are on the internet google it, so I dont want to hear that good for Jay-z for standing up for her crap he is no better the only difference is that the girl he hit wasnt famous and media whoring (or whoring in general) every day!



Posted by: Anonymous

i didn't really seem sincere to me..it looked rehearsed and it seemed like he was reading it of of some cue card..but whatever...i would really love to see him get booed whenever he tries to hit the stage again..i think thats what he deserves and rihanna too..we shouldnt let her off too easily..



Posted by: Anonymous

rihanna and chris brown should both be booed of stage one day..it'll be chris's first time getting booed and rihanna's second time



Posted by: Robin

@ Rose I saw that video its on youtube that douche had the nerve to call it a prank...then he was all up in arms about rihtarda, Hyprocite, much?!



Posted by: Sarah

The people who are saying he is really sorry & he will not do it again are stupid. He beat the sh*it out of her it was sick and it doesnt matter what she done he shouldnt had touched her. He doesnt even mean it. He's reading something what someone has written for him that just pathetic. He looks like he is forcing himself to say sorry. He wants his career back and he will do anything to save it. But its ruined nobody will buy his albums or anything he is in. Only dumb people who think its ok for men to hit woman. Rihanna is no saint but she never deserved that. Maybe people will forgive you if you really meant it. BTW this is not about colour it happens in every race.



Posted by: CJ

For all of you who say you forgive chris brown and believe he is really sorry....then let me put it to you this way...

Would you still feel that way if it was you who got the crap beat out of them?

What if you had a daughter and he beat her up?

Yeah..I don't think you would be too forgiving then.

He's only sorry because he got caught. Imagine what else could have happened in the future had he not been caught. He's an immature little shit that thinks he can do things like that.

So don't say you forgive him just because he is a celebrity. Because if it was you or your daughter who was in rhianna's shoes then I doubt youd be so kind.



Posted by: Sarah

Eye opener 2:40 why the hell are you biggin him up 4 saying sorry? He's not a man he's a mouse thats why he has to pick on someone who is weaker than him. I wouldnt call it mannin up



Posted by: JAXON

When a person offers remorse and apology it is our job to offer forgiveness and inclusion again. He deserves a second chance. He's young and human with all the pressures fame brings. It's time to stop judging and offer him forgiveness.

However, if he does it again......then he's probably going to abuse women his whole life. Hopefully he's getting counceling to avoid that.



Posted by: Anonymous

He deserves for people to respect him and not think of him as a bad person because I don't think he is. He's young and he reacted to anger in a bad way I say he will learn from his mistake. I don't think he seems like the kind of guy who enjoys putting fear into woman.



Posted by: Jack

Black men have been beating their women since way before their leaders sold them to the west. Also the US only bought the most physically strong of the tribes. More muscle, less smarts. Until the black women make them stop they will continue to abuse them.



Posted by: Sarah

5:26 "I dont think he seems like the kind of guy who enjoys putting fear into woman" are you dumb? did you see the pics of rihanna? does that seem like a person whos not putting fear in woman. your comment is stupid. Think before you write he's not truely sorry you can just tell the way hes saying it. he doesnt mean it.

blah blah blah

Jack 5:41 its not about colour you fool.



Posted by: Nora

Sarah why so hostile, do you know him or something take a chill pill and come back when you cool off! That said why do you idiots keep talking about race someone above mentioned 3 white men that have been involved in DV cases that were also very brutal and they have been forgiven without apologies as far as I can tell!



Posted by: Anonymous

I am very sorry...what happen-e-d is regret..regrett-a...[umm, what's that say??]. Chis, if you want people to buy your apology stop reading and speak from the heart.



Posted by: Anonymous

why are all you ppl sayong speak from the heart it is very common practice to read an apology that you have written while on camera. It is also very common to recieve help written one to avoid grammmatical errors. Kobe Bryant read from a telapromter during his press conference. At least he did it and on camera!



Posted by: Anonymous

If blacks made the laws in this country the first law they would revoke is the one that says beating your wife/girlfriend is a crime. The 2nd one would be running out on your children is a crime.



Posted by: Anonymous

nice job reading from the script looser! you're over and out



Posted by: Anonymous

He looks high in the video. He should have apologized after he did it. It does not seem believable now. It seems like a desperate attempt because things aren't workingout for him. People aren't embrassing him like he thought. On top of that, he runs out and gets a chain that reads "oops." who does that? What a moron.



Posted by: Anonymous

Prisons are full of men who wish they "had the chance to live those few moments again"...but alas, they do not. Life doesn't work like that. The damage is done. Chris is on the right track though..and in time, and with quite a bit of growing up, he may truly realize the magnitude his behavior had on someone else's life. Good luck, Chris.



Posted by: Anonymous

how insincere.. just reading his acting script



Posted by: anonymous

eyes-not directly to the camera. so i guess this all staged. damn it! i hope he could be much sincere.



Posted by: maritza

He looks sincere to me, he made a big mistake and regrets it. He grew up seeing all that violence and rage, he'll think twice before doing the same mistake again.
Chris is a talented young man and deserves another chance.



Posted by: Anonymous

Look domestic violence has nothing to do with being black so cut that shit out. If he did apoligize right after u guys probably wouldnt have listened because u would be too angry. many men dont get charged when they beat on their wives/gf's many are always forgiven even let off the hook by judges .i'm proud of him for taking this situation on and taking responsibility. and to this day they still hav no real proof of him hitting her except by rihanna's word. only time will tell and admitting his wrong is the first step down the long road to rebuilding himself and his career.

Posted by: HATERS DIE!

You know a very fameous person once said: "Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone..." While I am 100% sure every know it all on here is a sinner ( no one is with out sin ) No one has any right to judge him. He allowed his emotions to get the better of him. He IS owning up to it. and trying to move on. His career is FAR from over. He already has a new endorsement for Z-iced Watches... so if one company is willing to hire him.. others will follow. you all want to dump on him when there are A-lister actors working in Hollywood now who beat their wives on a dialy basis.. like Josh Brollin, Sean Penn, Eric roberts, Ect Ect Ect.. and YET you all will go and pay good money to see these people act. I'll give Chris my money and allow him to move on with his life. And besides that I am pretty sure that all you Chris Brown haters are the very same ones who just loved picking on Michael Jackson.. It must make you all feel real good to destroy another humanbeing.. Shame on you all. And F.Y.I. Miss Fenty did infact say she was beating on him first and that SHE had done it several times before... So maybe you all should shut up and mind your own business... After All Im sure if we investigated each and every one of you.. We would find Women beaters, Men beaters, child molesters, and rapists.. so shut up before your dirt hits the fan... you dont have the money to get a good lawyer either. And as for judging this young man... Thats GODS place and NOT ours. Chris Brown you need no forgiveness from me. But I do accept your apology... Now show all the haters and shut em up!!



Posted by: A little Advise

Even Michael Jackson read from a teleprompter in reguards to his court case and he was found innocent and you idiots STILL bash that poor man. So he read it. Whooptee doo! Those are his words. He didnt speak in ebonics either he was saying what he wanted to say exactly how he wanted to say it. We have YET to see Lrry King, J.Z., Eric Roberts, Sean Penn, Josh Brollin, Terrence Howard even apologis for their hiting women... Oh I forgot they are super stars and dont have to apologise right... Well at least Chris Brown did it and NO it was NOT a prank so STOP with that LIE!! and he had the GUTS to take FULL responsibility on camera for HIS actions... Why dont all you idiot haterz just get a life and stop hating on this kid.. honestly there are more important things in this world then hating on a youngman for making an effort. you all bashed him for his statement and apology back in March and you all are the same road kill idiots doing it now... Get off the pavement and move on already.. you haterz are the REAL losers!!



Posted by: Anonymous

I think Riri deserved it, who would beat someone up for no reason...I am on nobodys side but God if she didnt deserve it she wouldnt get what she did....Thats what happens when ur being such a "diva" bijatchhh :-D
