Chris Brown releases statement, says he's 'sorry and saddened'
We've heard from Chris Brown's dad, former stepfather and even Kanye West, and now we finally hear from the source. Brown released a statement a week after his arrest, saying he is "sorry and saddened" and responded to the speculation surrounding the alleged assault on Rihanna the night before the Grammys.
"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," Brown said in a brief statement issued through publicist Michael Sitrick. "Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and-or reported in the media is wrong," he added.

I STILL LOVE YOU CHRIS BROWN NO MATTER WAT!
Chris Brown did hit Rihanna, I know that for a fact, but just because he hit her doesn't mean he's a horrible person. He is only a man people keep jumping to conclusions about what happen. She may have provoked him to hit her. Regardless of if ur a woman or man you should not ask for something you aren't ready to receive. That doesn't make up for his actions. No one should hit anyone EVER!!! He apologized and we should all stay out of their business. All we should do is pray that God does what's best. The media has blown this story out of proportion. They have the fans thinking it's terrible when it might just be bad. He's been through thing and needs family as well as professional counseling. But he needs to be told that with heart, not with people yelling at him. Besides what will he going to jail solve? It won't help him get better. It might only make it worse. We as fans and humans need to support and love the both of them and make them feel that our Lord will make everything OK!!!!!
wutever womanizer! That's not acceptable. I will never buy another concert ticket or cd of Chris (beatemdown) Brown. I have taken down all posters and performance memorabilia and tossed them. This world is too violent already. With a new black president and the smell of sweet change in the air, we should tooss out the rotten eggs (chris beatemdown brown). He's stinking up our American Dream.

I am a female and believe that a man should never under any circumstance put his hand on a woman. It is also wrong for a woman to hit a man. Rihanna and Chris are both very young and should both get our support. No one was there when this incident took place and therefore no one knows exactly what happened. There are always three sides to every story, his, hers and the truth. I don't feel that we should just throw Chris Brown under the bus. He made a mistake that he needs to be held accountable for and if Rihanna hit Chris, she should also be held accountable. I pray that they will both be ok. My hope is that they both come out of this better people. I am praying for both Rihanna and Chris
yay chris!!! i still love and support you. i am one of those ride or die fans and i know you can get through this.
Chris, I think you need some real Anger Management Counselling. Family and loved ones are great support but get some professional help too. Good luck!
You Fans have got to be kidding me. You think he's wonderful? You still love him? You are more pathetic than he is. Let's see how much you love a man who beats a woman - when it is you or your child or your mother. Stop drinking the "Hollywood Juice". What he did was wrong - NO MATTER WHAT! A real man DOES NOT HIT A WOMAN.
