Jul 20 2009Chris Brown publicly apologizes to Rihanna (VIDEO)
In an Internet video released today, Chris Brown has finally made a public apology for the February 8 beating of Rihanna prior to the Grammys. In the two minute, scripted as all hell apology, Chris states his lawyers advised him against speaking at all about the incident despite his deepest wishes to do so. He then goes on to reiterate he's seeking counseling, speaking to his minister and digging up the bones of Gandhi which he'll consume in a protein shake thus lowering his unquenchable thirst for violence. Okay, maybe that last part didn't happen, but would it hurt? Sleep on it.

after that Paranoid Music Video I bet he's regretting everything.

No one really asked me but - I think Charlie Brown would have handled this situation much better.
He could have pick up some cheap psychiatric help from Lucy, and then maybe bought Rhianna a new beagle, and , as a personal touch - a new umbrella.
Presto. Chango. Relationshipo.

Screw 'im. Rihanna needs to take up Krav Maga and thump his ass. Or get Jay Z to.

Too late for all that bullshit!

Rihannas an attention seeking ho. Being seen out in NYC every day isn't doing her any favors. Meanwhile, go to hip hop and black blogs and everyones back on Chris' side again.
Except here, but you faggots never bought his music anyway.

Binky,
I think that is the best senario anyone has come up with so far! BRAVO, MY FRIEND,BRAVO
(golf clap)

You know it's a twat thing to do and Rhianna should definatley have split with him but i really don't give a shit

Maybe a PRIVATE apology to Rihanna would have meant something.
But this widely-advertised press release is just more grandstanding by Chris Brown. He is trying to change his image from a woman-beating thug to a warm and fuzzy nice guy. Never gonna happen.
Sorry, beating Rihanna in the face when she found out that Chris was planning on cheating on her later that night with some slut, and then leaving her sobbing by the side of the road still won't wash.

I think the big issue here is why is Chris Brown taking a break from his leisure cruise omelet chef duties to make this video?
I mean seriously - what's with that shirt, and where's his matching chef's hat?

Dude doesn't even look at the camera. Who is he apologizing to the script?
17. kim - July 20, 2009 7:10 PM
We will see. Hopefully it is for reals.
18. Tom K - July 20, 2009 7:20 PM
A little too late for an apology. I'm suprised he can read. Why the fuck is he wearing a shirt from Michael Jackson's closet?!
He is such a fucking douche bag!
19. G&T - July 20, 2009 7:26 PM
Please tell me this was intended to reactivate sales in the 7 to 11 year old female demographic group!
But on a bright note, after watching this we can all rest assured he won't be getting any hollywood offers... Thank you Charlie Brown (or whatever)
20. Noelle - July 20, 2009 8:07 PM
Could he have sounded any more phony... what an ass, if he was really sorry maybe oh I don't know, privately apologize to Rhianna... why's he apologizing to us, he didn't beat my ass... he didn't beat your ass. Wrong fucking people to be apologizing to. What a jack ass!
21. SilentSiren - July 20, 2009 8:11 PM
i still think this was fake. plus, i saw the oprah special, he's not cured and he's not remorseful. Well this was an apology to his fans anyway, and i was never a fan so its not for me. But i still think its fake!
22. dude_on - July 20, 2009 8:14 PM
Dude is in denial about how this issue will be attached to him for the remainder of his life. In 10 years he will be a taller Gary Coleman. Think bowling alley and tasers
23. kiddy - July 20, 2009 8:52 PM
The Great Cockmaster...LMAO, I was thinking the same thing.
24. HOTTIE - July 20, 2009 9:11 PM
I think Chris Brown was wrong for putting his hands on a female.I do think that his apology is sincere.There's is no need to keep putting him down because everyone make mistakes...you just have to learn from it and never let it happen again.I don't know why people is making a biigggg issue about this because he' s not the first guy that has hit a female and he will not be that last.Some of the people that's running their mouths have been in a situation like this or is one now,but no one knows about.You got to learn to forgive in order to be forgiven!!!!!!!!!!
25. anonymous - July 20, 2009 10:20 PM
That was so nauseating, I couldn't get through the whole thing...shameful.
26. Björn - July 20, 2009 10:45 PM
Blah.. blah..

28. uhhhno - July 20, 2009 11:20 PM
the only reason he is apologizing is because he's hoping that he can get his career back on track again. NEWS FLASH-- not gonna happen!!! no one wants to work with him anymore. Carrie Underwood was rumored to be doing a song with him and the internet blew up with backlash against her so she was out of that deal in a days time.
# 22.. you're right, he's in denial
# 24.. it's a big deal because a lot of kids looked up to him and saw him as a role model. if we all look past it, won't that excuse his behavior? and there's no excuse for that sort of behavior.
#13, 14 &15 .. i can't stop laughing!!! too funny. what a douche to wear a shirt like that
29. Paulina - July 20, 2009 11:54 PM
@ Binky: LOL. That's all I can say. Very clever.
30. terri lin - July 21, 2009 12:11 AM
anyone that hits a woman who is a man deserves to die. preying on the lesser of strength clearly represents a weak person in emotion.
31. Tracey - July 21, 2009 3:12 AM
Lastly, trust and believe there are strong women out there who are definitely stronger than men. So learn to not generalize your comments with your ignorance...The real Breezy Fans support you Chris. He has done which he should do to make his fans happy. Good luck Chris.
32. eric - July 21, 2009 3:15 AM
That's awesome, Chris. All you need to do now is publicly apologize for that shirt.
33. PlanesMistakenForStars - July 21, 2009 4:14 AM
Hey Chris...
Fuck.
Off.
34. Carol - July 21, 2009 4:38 AM
And the real "breezy" fans will probably still support you if you rape somebody. Probably even if it was a woman they were close. Fanatics these days. *shakes head*
35. Jan - July 21, 2009 6:10 AM
Ummm...that really was not an apology to Rihanna, it seemed more like a public apology. I am sure he is sorry about what happened, mostly because of the extent to which it has damaged his career. I hope he actually does learn from this incident.
36. maggielindia - July 21, 2009 6:13 AM
Wanna know where people go to snag a cougar, say, Just for future reference?
"Cougar Central"? "San Carlos" ? or "San Francisco"?
*** Agelover. c o m *** is the real place that is packed with them.
37. Kelly - July 21, 2009 7:38 AM
Oh, well luckily Chris Brown is consulting god and his minister to ensure that this never happens again, you know, the surefire way to handle an anger management problem.
38. Dread not - July 21, 2009 8:30 AM
As far as I'm concerned, Chris can move on. He didn't kill anybody. And if any future women want to hook up with him, it's their business. I never listened to his crap music, never will, though I've heard some of it. So it's no skin off my nose. Though, that's a promise that can't be made for his next special lady.
39. Hammertime - July 21, 2009 8:30 AM
It's too late to apologize...
40. Tom K - July 21, 2009 9:56 AM
Exactly #34. This "breezy" is retarded!!!!!
#31 Everything about what you wrote says dumb black ghetto "breezy" kill yourself. Your opinion does not matter you women are the type of people to stick around when your man has 5 other women pregnant and is doing drugs in front of your 2 yr old. Complete trash!
41. yo - July 21, 2009 10:38 AM
Is he a waiter in a chinese restaurant!!! ?
42. Darth - July 21, 2009 2:14 PM
Is he reading the news or somethin'?
43. Galtacticus - July 21, 2009 2:21 PM
Half a year has passed in the meanwhile.Is he always this fast?
44. Nero - July 21, 2009 2:27 PM
He lost a sweet pussy through all this.
45. Boogeyman King Dong - July 21, 2009 3:07 PM
You can lose money,friends and so on.But losing sweet pussy that's a hell of a lost!

He glossed over one thing - it wasn't an isolated incident, it had happened before. This is important as a one off is a bit different to on-going behavior. Hopefully all this has given him the kick up the ass he needs. He is tainted for me now though.

50. rudeboy - July 21, 2009 8:28 PM
LOL!! You people who are so quick to condemn and vilify Chris Brown.
#40 Everything about what you wrote clearly indicates that you're a uneducated white male, age 21 - 35, lives at home with his momma and I'm sure, you have no chance of getting shagged unless money is involved. You're a tosser and a first class sausage jockey mate. I'd like to apologize to all black females on Tom KKK's behalf, not all of us (white males) are this pathetic.
Most importantly people: Let he or she who is WITHOUT sin, cast the first stone.
Cheers :)

52. Caddy - July 22, 2009 1:27 PM
After you beat a woman, you'll always be a woman-beater.
He should have sincerely apologized to her personally....And that shirt is freaking whack just like his apology...
Forgive Me!!!! Buy My Music!!!!!!

56. mari - July 22, 2009 7:18 PM
he sucks dick. plain and fucking simple. he music -the garbage singles on the radio- has always sucked. shes an idiot for staying w/him after he kicked her ass the first time. the fucking moronic bitch who says "we're with you chris brown" deserves to get the shit beaten out of her by.... mr. chris brown. and the fag ass brit-#50 needs to shut the fuck up. dumb ass black motherfucker is famous, rich and has a ton of pull and still acts like a what..........? all i can say is, we're all behind you chris brown!! yay!!

usa! usa! usa! : D yee haw busch light aluminum lawn chair etc etc...
but seriously, if your truly british , born and bred, you cant possibly compare black english people and american black people.. are you fucking kidding me?! go visit some southern states for a few days and then report back wouldya? thanks. i mean, the fucking guy is reading his incredibly prepared statement like orlando jones does his magazine spiel in office space: "good evening sir my name is steve. i come from a rough area. i used to be addicted to crack but now i am off and trying to stay clean. that is why i am selling magazine subscriptions." i found a link for the audio. lmfao!! listen to it!!
60. NotBuyingIt - July 22, 2009 11:28 PM
That was the fakest "apology" I have ever seen!!!
It's just a pathetically desperate PR attempt for damage-control and is "too little, too late" !!!
This jerk actually refers to his brutal assault of that young girl merely as "the incident" and as "those few moments" and as "what happened" and as "what occured" (as if HIS actions were some 'cosmic' incident over which he had no personal control).
Unbelieveable!!
And who cares that he spoke with his "mommy" and his "priest" (or whatever) about what he did or that he 'grew up in a home where he saw domestic violence'?!
Oh boo hoo for him.
Give me a break !!
What a jerk!!
He'd better make another video where he begs that other jerk P-Diddy to adopt him!!!
As far as I'm concerned -- this loser's career is over.
He must be the secret love child of Ike Turner and / or Bobby Brown.
What a coward, a bully -- and a fool (if he thinks anyone believes this "apology" is real).
61. Brittney - July 23, 2009 4:16 PM
It was really nice of him to make this video.
But, sorry doesn't fully change the fact he abused his girlfriends, but it does make me liek him more.
62. Yooarel.com - July 26, 2009 2:01 AM
First of all, his ego is ridiculous. "Role model"? Even before the woman-beating he was nowhere near what any sane person would consider a "role model".
Secondly, in such an important piece of footage and such an important speech, fucker couldn't even say "ask" correctly. Are you kidding me? Is "ask" such a hard word to say for rappers and r&b singers? They say "ass" all the time! Just add a "k" onto it! For fuck's sake...
