Chris Brown publicly apologizes to Rihanna (VIDEO)

July 20th, 2009 // 65 Comments

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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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?!

    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)

    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!

    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!

    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

    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!!!!!!!!!!

    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

    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.

    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.

    #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!

    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.

    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 :)
