Chris Brown Talks About Rihanna, Claims Violence Will 'Never Happen Again'

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 22nd 2009 10:41AM

Chris Brown sat down for his first radio interview since assaulting Rihanna in February and revealed he wants a second chance. "At the end of the day, I'm human. Of course you're gonna have your thoughts and opinions. I'm not gonna say they're wrong. But at the end of the day, it's not right to judge someone," Brown said on Hot 97's Angie Martinez Show in New York.

Throughout the interview, Brown discussed several topics including his love for Rihanna and why he's respecting her privacy.

"People make mistakes all the time. I'm learning from my mistakes every day and I regret it every second," Brown added.

The Martinez interview was only Brown's second media appearance since he pleaded guilty in June to assaulting Rihanna. His first was with Larry King shortly after his sentencing and revealed Brown was not ready to speak openly about the ordeal, deflecting a majority of the CNN host's questions.

But during the new radio interview, Brown opened up a little more. "Honestly, I would just like to get past it. At the end of the day, I'm sorry for what I did, whatever it is. Only me and shorty know what went down in the car, it's between us."

Listen to Chris Brown's interview:

He also promised his fans, "I won't let you down anymore. That was one of the most embarrassing things for me, because of my image and who I was as a young role model to a lot of kids. It was hard for me."

He revealed that Will Smith was one of the first people to reach out to him in February. "As a young black man myself, I need older black male role models to step in and kind of mold me - not people bashing me, 'cause that's not how you learn from mistakes," Brown said.

While there is still speculation of whether he'll ever get back with Rihanna, UK's The Sun claims Brown explained his recent attempt to woo his ex back via Twitter. "We've been friends since I was like 15, we got serious when I was like 17. Feelings are feelings and they don't go away overnight, especially if you sit down and are like, 'Look, I'm going to really be in this relationship with you, whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.' I really care about her," Brown said.

In his first communication with the public about the attack this summer, Brown told his fans how sorry he is about the beating incident. "I am very sad and very ashamed of what I have done... I've told Rihanna countless times and I am telling you all today that I am truly, truly sorry that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better. " he said.

TMZ

Back in April, Brown pleaded not guilty to both assault and criminal threat charges in court.

Brown's manager, Tina Davis, was named by TMZ as the woman behind the text message that sparked his alleged beating of Rihanna. She has since denied the claims, saying: "The rumors in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports."

Court documents revealed that the police report claims Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna in his car after she discovered a text message on his phone. According to the report, Brown smashed her head against the window, and then punched and bit her.

TMZ obtained a photo that appears to be singer Rihanna, taken shortly after Brown allegedly beat her following a pre-Grammy party. Police have said the woman had visible injuries, and that Brown was gone from the scene when they arrived.

Brown can be seen leaving the police station after being booked. According to police reports, he assaulted Rihanna in the car, and told her "I'm going to beat the s--- out of you when we get home." He also allegedly threatened to kill her after she told her assistant to call the police.

In their cover story, PEOPLE spoke with the father of Rihanna, who says he hopes his daughter is done with boyfriend Brown after his alleged assault. Shortly after, reports that Rihanna and Brown were back together in Miami emerged.

PEOPLE

Brown, seen a day before the alleged attack, released a statement on Feb. 15, which read in part, "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired."

Once a beater....always a beater

By deejay

right you are, "once a beater, always a beater"...once someone gives in to the urge to hit, to beat or to otherwise subjugate a partner, it is always there...I KNOW, and of course the beater is remorseful...but if you keep letting it happen you are enabling. I hope Rhianna will stay smart and NEVER trust him again. TOO many women are waking up dead because of guys like this. It is passed time to STOP THE VIOLENCE

Give Chris Brown a break

By Big AZZ MoFo

Just AOL even posting this (news?) article about a loser woman beater is an insult to all women. Now let me get back to the Rosie O'Donnell lesbo split. That's news!

By deedee

this is old news, people please let it go... it is not up to us to forgive him, it's up to Rhianna and she has, so I'm ready to hear some music from bothe of them... I love them both...

By tana green

That's what they all say.

Chris Brown is a loser! He's immature and has no clue as to how to treat a lady. He had a good thing and ruined it. The trust is gone and once that happens you can never get it back. Hopefully Rihanna won't fall for his "I'm sorry's". She could do so much better than him.

By edouard

I want to believe Chris Brown, Lord only knows, but I can never believe him! From what I have seen of him, his money gives him presence to do the things he would not do and because of it, his head has become big, as if to say, "I have money and I can do what I want'. No doubt, he is nice and likeable but a leopard cannot lose his spots!

By Brucelee

Chris Brown is not GodANDmeWE, so Chris is entitled to make mistakes too. Humans are unable to accept the truth that "Spirits" live in alcohol and do mostly bad things to humans. Don't believe it, watch the type of beat downs women put on men on Girlfights.

By brucelee

What's wrong of my comment of truth. Chris Brown was born after 1961, so Chris will fly when he dies too.

By skwagg

I do think people can change. It isnt once a beater always a beater. People can get help and get on the right track. To say it will happen again is really stupid. People in glass houses should not throw stones. I hope he has really changed and hope he can move on. Its not anyone's place to judge. There is only one judge and jury and he knows all the information that needs to be known. He will take care of it all!!!!!

By Chris

Yes, what he did was wrong. He made a big mistake. But I refuse to believe that he just hit Rihanna for some sick need for control.

Rihanna is no angel in this situation and I personally the relationship with mutually abusive. But because he was caught, she is obsolved of her part in an equally abusive relationship.

By robin

Any guilt on her part does not absolve him...ASSAULT IS ASSAULT...and without a mark on him...it was hardly a fair fight.

how come its always da dude fault when stuff like this happens what about what she did to prevoke him like most women usally do but i guess that dont matter huh???? not sayin that its cool to hit a woman but u must realize it aint like he just hauled of and hit her for nothin.....my folks always said if u act like a dude then u should get the same punishment as a dude...

Male or female makes no difference, if he did that to another guy IT IS STILL ASSAULT. In America we have a thing called free speech. I can call you and your mother every name in the book, insult you up and down, and vica versa...but physical violence is AGAINST THE LAW...and punishable....If she physically attacked him first it is self defense....that was obviously not the case! Open your mind and grow a brain

Still the same ol' script from poor little (yeah, right)Chris..."It was hard on ME" "Stop bashing on ME" and the one that takes the cake, the lame apology-like EXCUSE... "I'm sorry for what I did , whatever it is." Zero sincerity. This child's career is over.
