Chris Brown's statement

"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God."

Of course he'd want to keep it under wraps -- he's the guilty party. Funny that during his terrible Larry King interview, he "couldn't remember" much of anything that night but Rihanna sure remembered every detail.

I thought that her interview was good. She was really honest about certain things (like the meeting at Diddy's house, that her love for Chris didn't just stop immediately after it happened) and I like that she said she is a strong person -- it was something that happened to her, not something she did. While she shouldn't have to be responsible for all of the young girls out there, she's mature enough to understand that she is a role model whether she chooses to be or not. As she said, she doesn't want them to think that it's okay to return to an abusive relationship because superstar Rihanna stayed with Chris.

Those youtube videos of people blaming her were so shameful. Sadly, I'm sure those fools are bragging that their videos were aired on national television. Looking back on the general wishy-washy reaction from much of the music industry when this happened makes me kind of sick all over again.

When Diane showed her the video of him apologizing (I think one where he was wearing a red shirt) and she said it seemed as though he was reading from a teleprompter, I thought the same thing.

She did a very good interview, Chris Brown seems more like a strutting coward to me ...I wish he would just go away for a 1yr. His silly fans are saying Rihanna looks bitter, no they are just bitter because Rihanna has exposed him

Chris Brown is debuting his music video on the Wendy Williams show on Friday. What the hell, didn't Wendy denounce him and his actions on her show shortly after the incident occured? Seems like she's putting attention-getting for her show above her morals. I don't like her anyway but she shouldn't be promoting him if she claims to abhor his actions.

How is he "protecting" her by not detailing his own ABUSIVE behavior, Iam sick of people somehow making him a "hero" in this situation, He has more to lose by actually telling the truth and killing the "She hit Me" theory.

Singer Omarion hit up New York’s Power 105fm Morning Show with Ed Lover and Free this morning and discussed his upcoming projects and why he would NEVER get back with B2K among other things. Of course, with Omarion being a good friend of Chris Brown’s, he offered his thoughts on the Rihanna situation:

It’s one of those situations that I hope some positivity comes out of it because I think it’s so unfortunate and love will really make you do some crazy things.
Ed Lover: Since Breezy is your man, why do you think he is being so protective of [Rihanna] when it doesn’t seem to be reciprocated on the other side?
I think it’s because I know he understands what happened. That’s one thing that he told me “As a man, the situation that happened shouldn’t have happened so I’m not going to make excuses for it. I’m going to take responsibility and whatever it is, is whatever it is. Because I feel the way you feel.
Ed Lover: You told him “Tell Everbody your side of the story”?
Yea and he was like “Nah, I’m a man, I made that mistake and I’ll take that with stride”…and I respect that.
