Chris Brown says he’s sorry for beating Rihanna

Chris Brown has finally released a statement on his beating of 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,” said Brown.

“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.”

A report earlier this week had Brown changing his Facebook status to single, and making a one line statement saying “You’ll begin to see her true colors. Believe it!”

Legal issues aside, we know people close to Brown have been trying to spin this against Rihanna. The only way for fans to hear Brown’s side of the story is for him to say it, and finally put an end to the speculation. It’s positive that he is apologizing, but there’s still a lot of questions left unanswered.
