Chris Brown Admits Apology Video Was a Mess

Remember that pathetic apology video that Chris Brown posted on YouTube? The one where he tried to convince his fans that he deeply regretted beating the crap out of Rihanna. People immediately speculated that Brown was reading from a teleprompter and doubted his sincerity. Well, Brown admits that it was a “mess.”

Chris told Robin Roberts, “I had three or four days of PR and people telling me, ‘OK, don’t say this or don’t say this because they’re gonna take it this way.’ So my head was not really giving me a chance to be me, it was me being me through other people. It was genuinely from me but it wasn’t projected correctly.”

Here’s a reminder –

Chris Brown Back In Court For Progress Report

Chris Brown has received an “extremely favorable” report from probation officials overseeing his felony assault case, a judge said.

Brown appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday (Nov. 19) to offer a judge his first progress report since being sentenced for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year. He talked and laughed with his lawyer before the hearing, which took less than 10 minutes.

The R&B singer is serving five years of probation and must attend domestic violence counseling and perform six months of community labor in Virginia.

Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, says Brown has already done 100 hours of community labor in Richmond, Va. Brown has also paid all of his court-ordered fees and fines.

Brown is due back in court for another progress report on Feb. 18.

Chris Brown Doesn’t Remember Beating Rihanna!

Chris Brown’s interview with Larry King is set to air this Wednesday, but a clip from the show has hit the net and, apparently, Brown doesn’t remember beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna!

Check out the clip and transcript below –

When asked what he thinks when he sees the police report –

“I just look at it like wow, like I’m in shock, because first of all, that’s not who I am as a person and that’s not who I promise I was gonna be. Like when I look at the police reports, or when I hear about the police reports, I don’t know what to think. I just don’t know what to think. It’s just like wow.”

When asked if he remembers beating Rihanna –

“No. It’s like, it’s crazy to me, I’m like wow.”

Unbelievable…

Chris Brown’s History Of Violence

Reports are revealing that the Chris Brown/Rihanna beating incident was not the first of its kind for Brown.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the first incident occurred while the couple was in Europe, engaging in a verbal dispute. Rihanna eventually slapped Brown, who then allegedly shoved Rihanna against a wall.

The second incident took place three weeks prior to Brown’s pre-Grammy assault on February 8th in Barbados. The couple was driving in a leased Range Rover when Brown and Rihanna got into an argument inside the car. Brown then exited the vehicle and broke the front driver side and passenger windows.

It sounds like both sides could use some therapy before the vicious cycle of physical abuse repeats itself.

Yesterday, Chris Brown was sentenced to 5 years probation and physical labor. He was also ordered to enroll into a 52-week domestic violence-counseling program in his home state of Virginia.

Chris Brown To Be Sentenced For Assault

Chris Brown has pleaded guilty and publicly apologized for beating Rihanna, but after Wednesday afternoon, plenty more hard work lies ahead.
The 20-year-old R&B singer is scheduled to be sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community labor. A judge has said she wants Brown, who will likely be allowed to serve his probation in his home state of Virginia, to do work that is comparable to graffiti removal or roadside cleanup.

The “Run It!” singer pleaded guilty in late June to felony assault before a preliminary hearing in which Rihanna was likely to testify.

The former couple never faced each other at that hearing. As Brown left through one door, Rihanna entered the courtroom from a private entrance.

Donald Etra, Rihanna’s attorney, said Tuesday that the 21-year-old singer would not appear in court for Brown’s sentencing. Etra said he would ask Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg to rescind a restraining order that keeps the pair from talking or meeting one another.

Etra said he would ask that it be replaced by an order that prohibits Brown from harassing, annoying or molesting Rihanna.

Brown said in a public apology video posted on his Web site July 20 that he had repeatedly apologized to Rihanna for the attack. He called his conduct “inexcusable” and pledged to do better.

“I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage can do,” he tells viewers. “I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again.”

Schnegg will consider a report by probation officials and has warned Brown that he will face substantial scrutiny. She told him in June that he’ll have to return to California every three months and attend domestic violence counseling.

Brown was arrested Feb. 8, hours after an early morning fight erupted between the singer and his then-girlfriend in a car in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood. A search warrant affidavit filed by police described the brutal attack, stating that Brown beat, choked and bit Rihanna and tried to push her out of the car.

The beating occurred hours before the pair were scheduled to appear at the Grammy Awards, and both have been forced to cancel several high-profile appearances since then.

Brown’s career has suffered, with radio stations refusing to play his music and sponsors dropping him.

CHRIS BROWN NOT GUILTY?!!?!!

It’s reported that Chris Brown is going to plead not guilty on Monday when he is expected in court in Los Angeles. It makes no sense…How can he even consider being not guilty? Do we need to e-mail him the picture taken of Rihanna after the altercation?

RIHANNA’S DAD SAYS SHE’S “BACK TO HERSELF AGAIN.”

After recently traveling to Hawaii, Los Angeles, and New York, Rihanna has most recently made her way to Barbados. On Monday Chris Brown is going to be arraigned in connection with the alleged altercation between the two back in February.

Ronald Fenty told People.com, “She’s home.” She flew to Barbados to help celebrate her grandparent’s 50th wedding anniversary.

“She is in good spirits, and she sounds great! She got in a couple hours ago. I will see her tomorrow.” Fenty also told US that he would probably be doing lunch while she’s home for the weekend. “Of course, I’m happy to have her home. Things are good with her. She is doing really, really well. She’s back to herself.”
