Now that he’s owned up in the court of law to his assault of former girlfriend Rihanna, it’s time for Chris Brown to beg for mercy in the court of public opinion. His first stop: CNN’s Larry King Live, where the singer sat down to talk candidly about the incident.
In the interview, set to air Wednesday night on CNN, Chris admits to Larry that he’s still in love with Rihanna and is now shocked at the hurt he inflicted on her last February during an argument while driving in his car — in fact, he says he has no memory of the incident.
“When I look at it now,” he says, speaking of the infamous police photo taken of Rihanna only minutes after the assault, “It’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.”
Of his hard labor sentence, Chris tells Larry, “everything comes with consequences. They want me to pick up trash remove graffiti… I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do.”
Chris’ mother, Joyce Hawkins is also there for the interview and says of her son, “Chris has never, ever been a violent person, ever.”
Joyce and Chris claim that her former husband was abusive. “I used to be scared to go to bed,” he recalls. “Nobody taught us how to love one another. Nobody taught us a book on how to — how to control our emotions or our anger.”
He adds, “I wish I could have changed that night.”
As for what’s next, Chris says, “I just need to prove to people I can be a role model… “That’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be.”
When asked about Rihanna dating other men, he admits, “I definitely would be affected by it, but, at the end of the day, I mean, we’re not together, so, if she’s happy, I’m cool… We’ll always be friends.”
They are both delusional!
“It’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.”
How about: I can’t believe I did that! How about his Mamma stepping up and realizing that her son HAS been violent.
It will happen again.
i love chris brown..
i mean yeahh it was riqht for him to put his hands on her but what did she do to make him react thats what i wanna no.
they are qoinq qet back together ..
i like rihanna to and his mother needs to realise that her son has a violent issue that needs to be fixed.
no one has a right to beat a woman like that. he didn’t have a scratch. you need to educate yourself. why do americans think it’s ok to beat women? you have a sick country
People are violent all over the globe not just in the US you idiot!!! And your country is sick…. jealous because your not an American!!!
i don’t see chris as a voilent person…some times we take action that we wish we never took. i guess u’ve learnt ur lessons. u can’t just wait for anybody to teach you how to control ur temper, you have to do that urself…..cos is your life. know u really hurt my girl rihanna…..i couldn’t imagine another man beside her….i wish u two will get back together again….i will be so glad to see u two together again.
Wow! Mom-WAKE UP! Denial is NOT supporting or helping your son! Tell him to get help!!! “No one taught us…..” Is it not a fact of society that you don’t beat on people, let alone girls? Give me a break! Did you see Rihanna’s face. And what about the other girl that came forward? Those responses from mom and Chris are a joke. He only takes about 50% of the responsibility when he makes excuses for how he was raised. Grow up and get help!
None of us know them! We seen a terrible side of Chris and I pray he never lays a hand on a woman in anything but tenderness. I believe in redemption. My father ONE TIME beat my mother terribly. He never laid another harsh hand on her or anyone again. He has only been the most loving, tender, protective husband and father ever since. That was 25 years ago! THANK GOD they are still happily married with children, grand children and great children blessed with a very close, highly respected, LOVING FAMILY! Don’t judge.
it was uncontrollable issues dat they both had….and no third person was invovle in their issues and so they had so mch defferences and difficulties of workin together!solution 2 ths was 4 chris 2 beat riri…wch made it so mch difficult 4 hmself…he mayb thot riri wil chnge her attitude bt no it lead 2 serious matters ….
Grr. I can’t stand his mom. She is so ugly!!!
your an ugly m0th3rf%cker
Tried of this story. They both need help. He was wrong, he pled guity , is doing his sentence and should be allowed to move on with his life. Rihanna has just as many issues that will keep the tabloids buzzing for years to come. She can’t sing and ya’ll only talk about her clothes. I can’t wait until she just goes away as well.
