Chris Brown apologizes, pleads guilty
BY ANTHONY MCCARTNEY
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown publicly apologized Monday for the beating of Rihanna, saying in a two-minute video that he's still seeking help and wants to live his life as a role model.
Brown released the video on his Web site apologizing to fans and said he was sad and ashamed of his conduct. He also told viewers that he had repeatedly apologized to Rihanna.
Brown was arrested Feb. 8, hours after he fought with his then-girlfriend in a rented sports car after a pre-Grammy party. According to a police affidavit, Brown tried to push the 21-year-old Barbados-born singer from the car and repeatedly hit her and choked her.
He left the scene and later turned himself in to authorities during the Grammy
Awards, where he and Rihanna were slated to perform. He was later charged with assault likely to cause great bodily harm and making criminal threats. He pleaded guilty to the felony assault charge last month and faces sentencing Aug. 5.
He is slated to serve five years of probation and perform six months of community labor.
In the video, Brown calls the beating "the incident." He vows to conduct interviews and answer some questions about the beating, but said he wanted to speak directly to fans first.
"I felt it was time you that heard directly from me that I am sorry," he said on the video.
He calls his conduct "inexcusable" and says his mother — who has attended some of his court hearings — has taught him better. He mentions that he witnessed domestic violence growing up.
"I saw first hand 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."
Brown said on the video he wanted to speak out earlier, but was advised not to by his lawyer.
He acknowledged that the beating had hurt his reputation. Although he didn't mention it, Brown lost sponsorship deals, radio stations stopped playing his music and other artists condemned him after the attack.
Before the beating, Brown was considered a squeaky-clean R&B up-and-comer. He rose to prominence after the 2005 hit "Run It!" He was nominated for a Grammy for "No Air" with Jordin Sparks and named Billboard's top artist in 2008.
"I intend to live my life so that I am truly worthy of the term 'role model," Brown said at the video's conclusion.
