Chris Brown breaks silence!

Wow, he beats up women and on top of that, can't speak english. What a sad little man...

I hate to break it to ya Chris, but your "real fans" are probably writing in from jail where you should be.

I think that, given the photos that leaked, his statement might be a bit more convincing if he even attempted to offer some evidence. He does not have the sterling sort of reputation that would predispose people to accept his statement without question.

Also, what fans could he possibly have left? Even in prison? He was famous for two seconds. If there weren't charges pending for horrendously assaulting a talented musician, everyone would have forgotten Chris Brown's generic uninspired music already.

Chris- Only monsters hit women.

Wow, he needs to work on his grammar. He will lose whatever fans he has left talking like a thug.

I used to be a big Chris Brown fan... I hope he's getting the therapy he needs.

By "Haters" do you mean people who dont condone domestic violence regardless of whether it's a celebrity or not?

Well, Today I found out I am a "Hater."
Hmmm. We learn something new everyday.

Ah yes, the old "they just been haters" explanation....well thought out on his part.

WTF? "Everybody that's haters, they just been haters"! Is this idiot for real? Mr. Brown you are a woman beater and if your fans stick with you through this, then they are just as messed up as you are! NEVER under any circumstances is it okay to do what you did. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you did and you should take full responsibility for what you did. I don't care who leaked what, you did what you did and that DOES NOT change the facts. OWN UP and GET HELP!

You is illiterate, fool.

I believe that people make mistakes and can reform themselves ... I still believe in you.. but you could have showed some class and responded more intelligently! You left room for speculation with that response.... not to bright are ya! Fact remains you did something wrong.... lets own up to that.... sounds like your haten on anyone who disagrees with violence against women.... what is your take on that Chris?

I agree with the above comment. Chris should be in jail for what he did. I wonder who the "real fans" are? Can they speak English as well as Chris?

"You ain't a monster?" Give me a break.

"Someone" said it all!!

What a LOSER ! Rihanna's way better off without YOU!! And you should be in jail for what you did to her – any joe on the street would have been locked up!

Well...beating up a woman until her face is nearly swollen without recognition is a pretty monstrous act. And I am hating that you took this opportunity to break your silence with unrepentant, disgusting and delusional self-promotion.

If you really want to make a comeback, try apologizing for what you did and the example you set to all the young people who look up to you. And, don't forget the anger management help.

i aint understand him..

Im not worried about Chris Brown, nor will i ever care he is just another so called "music artist" in a played out industry where everyone sounds the same. There is no justice that can level out domestic violence. i would like to say to chris brown that no matter what you say to the camera's today, tomorrow or a year from now those picturesof rihanna will always show you as a monster the fan whom are blind to the fact see you as nothing more than what you really are.

Wow.... maybe I wouldn't use monster to describe him but I definitely wouldn't say angel. Just like everyone else he has to take credit for the things that he has done whether its in court or on judgement day. His actions will catch up with him. If they haven't already.

Not a monster-is that what ALL abusers claim!!?? His next words were probably editted out–I ain't no monster–she just makes me do it when she don't.................... ABUSERS ARE ALL THE SAME.

Gutless creeps!!

He needs to learn to speak the language. So a wife beater and uneducated. Gee, who would have thought???

Even if he did do as the press is saying, he's young he made a mistake, get help and leave him alone, let him go on with his life. How many of you out there have skeletons in the closet? Quite a few, he knows what he did was wrong and no what is condoning that, but everyone deserves a second chance. Give it a break!

No, he's not a monster. He's a piece of garbage.

How about getting a college education? Hey, perhaps you can start with a high school education. At least take a course in English.

The only good thing he does is dance – and he's dancing his way around this. Unfortunately so many young kids still look up to him and that's just the way this mixed up world is right now. It doesn't matter that his English is horrible or he acts like he's from the 'hood. That's what the young kids go for.

OK. Here we are. Everyone against Chris. Did anyone stop to think that Rihana has issues and needs anger management....big tyme. Who's to say she didn't "beat herself up"? Guess no one has ever watch A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.

Yes the so-called diva needs mental help.....but I digress.
Still a Chris Brown.

He might not think he is a monster, but he is. Any man that hits another person, whom they are supposed to 'love' is a monster. He betrayed her by using her as a punching bag. He says he loved her, he is monster material! Case closed.

Someone, you hit the nail on the head. It is very frightening to think young people would look up to a "man" who is not only abusive, but who cannot speak properly. If speaking out against abuse makes me a "hater" then, I will gladly be a "hater".

I see with all the money he still speaks in Ebonic 101

I agree with "Someone" comment. He seems to be in a state of denial.

I personally believe he should keep his young mouth shut until after the courts reach a verdict. Then again when you are that young and uneducated, you're really not going to know any better. Can you blame him?

Doesn't he have a publicist who can speak for him, because his english is terrible. Maybe tomorrow when in court, have your publicist make a professional statement for you...that is what they get paid to do, especially when you are not in your right mind!!!

I am so happy that Rihanna left Chris. I can see in Rihanna eyes that she may still love him, but he does not deserve her. She will eventually get over him and find a wonderful, secure man who will love her like she deserves. Any other woman who dates Chris Brown must know that he is definitely not a catch. He needs a lot of counseling, and he owes Rihanna a huge apology and restitution.

It is truly unfortunate that for someone who makes so much money that he cannot afford to hire someone to teach him how to speak english. Maybe I should not have gone to school. I might be rich, too.

Wow, so impressive... He knows how to beat the crap out of a girl, but cant even speak proper English. Its not about "haters", its about having common sense. You dont hit girls. You sound like a 4 year old when you talk. Chris, you really should just shut up and be sorry.

yeah you are

of course he doesn't speak proper english and beats up women, just look at him

I would have to say that I agree with Chris Brown–he "ain't" a monster. He is a pathetic excuse for a man with anger and self control issues and an impression of himself that is way out of proportion to reality. Unfortunately, because of who is is some woman will be willing to hang around with him –look at OJ.

sounds like a fool

If justice is served he will spend time in jail hopefully getting anger management skills and I hope it will send a message to all he models behaviors for.......hitting women is not okay for whatever reason

I completely agree with "Someone", nice english there Chris. What's more shocking is that she's an even bigger loser for going back to him. Too bad, she's got some real talent but I certainly have no respect for her. Hollywood is a joke!

His real fans (& his boys) think what he did was just fine. He's just another thug.

You would be surprised, a lot of his female fans actually still support him. Its the whole superstar complex, they hated Rihanna for being with "Their Man" and have convinced themselves while its not alright to hit a woman like that, there must have been some reason. I have heard a very intelligent and attractive friend of mine (Electrical Engineer) explain that it isn't his fault and we shouldn't judge him.

He's not a monster, he's a child. Nothing he has done has displayed any decency or compassion because he is not a man, he is an immature, stuck up little boy. His early rise to fame was a gift and a curse, it gained him popularity and money, but spared him the trials that make one an adult. He's so far from a mature, responsible adult that he probably thinks he's the victim in this situation. A real man would have stepped up, apologized and accepted his punishment, 'C-Breezy', nope, he's yesterday's narcissistic child. At least his career is over, a classless woman beater like that doesn't deserve the accolades that he has previously garnered.

I still love you Chris and don't listening other people say about you. People alway look for the negative in people and not the postive. Every body in this wolrd makes mistake you just have to learn for your mistake. I no what you done is wrong but Rihanna have a big part in this situation. Keep praying and asked God to for give you because he is a forgiving God. I love you and going to keep you in my prayer.

So many times people assume it is the man who is only at fault. We should not judge the situation based on what the media has stated. Given that Rhianna seems to have maintained all her endorsement deals and Chris Brown has not it seems that some have chosen sides and formed an opinion which is ridiculous. Given the fact that the trial or whatever deal that may be struck has not been completed and the FACTS have not been made public one should not be forming an opinion of who is right and who is wrong. I am not saying that hitting anyone is OK what I am saying is that sometimes there is only so much a person can take and anger for whatever reasons rears its ugly head in many forms and one should not judge with out all the facts. Also the media and the public have a tendency of placing people in role model positions that should not be and then when they make a mistake the media cuts them up and spits the story out with out the true facts only two people know what happen and I highly doubt anyone else one else will find out the truth!

I can't believe anyone would back this creep by buying his (so called) music or any product he endorses.

He is a woman-beater. There is NOTHING lower.

O.J. anyone????

"He does not have the sterling sort of reputation that would predispose people to accept his statement without question."

Really? Can you name something else that he's done wrong? I can't think of it. No, no one is perfect or above the law – but come on people remember "innocent until proven guilty" ? We haven't heard evidence the first and people are already judging the guy. I feel for Rihanna, but she's not giving much explanation either – is SHE wrong too?

I think he should keep his mouth shut. Anyone that would do that to a woman needs to at least have some humility to be believable. He doesn't even seem to have that.

With all his talk about the "haters" it seems he is still really focused on himself. What about remorse for punching and biting a young woman? Wonder if he's learned ANYTHING at all?

I second someone!!!

When you're in jail get an education Chris. Something beyond the 6th grade level maybe.

I agree with his comment; he is not a monster.

He is an animal!!!!

The headline should read, "Insignificant Chris Brown breaks silence and comes across as a thoughtless Idiot".

Who cares? The public out there really needs to ponder what's important in life: Chris Brown – singing skills? English skills? Jon & Kate Plus Eight? I know, turn off the damn TV, get outside, hike, read, connect with people. Why not have some interest in your own life instead of watching others live theirs and make money off of it.

This can't be serious.
Who speaks like that?
Did has manager, lawyer and PR person all quit at once?
No wonder our boat is sinking like a brick....

Who knows what happened that day. Only god knows. Each story has two sides. Marion

Actually, any music lover would and could never forget about Chris Brown. You have to give credit where it is due regardless of PERSONAL choices he has made. The problem is no one can ever seperate the business from the personal. Chris Brown is human and this is not the first time a guy has beat a girl. Is it right of course not, under any circumstances, but don't crucify him like he invented domestic violence. Hope and pray he can get help to rectify his anger issues like the domestic violence system is suppose to do. Generic? Uninspired? You clearly have never listened to his music. Rihanna will accept his statement without question, who am I, you or ANYBODY ELSE to say different. Get your own lives if you aren't going to hear stories like this and look into ways of helping. How about volunteering at your local domestic violence shelter, get a little closer look at BOTH sides of domestic violence, I'm sure your comments will change.

Actually Chris Brown is right. He is not a monster. He is just an abusive man who wrongly thinks it is acceptable to physically harm a female. A monster is a fictional character protrayed in the movies that is intended to scare the audience. Chris Brown is far from scary..

This guy is joke. I truly hope that he just disappears from the music scene completely and people stop buying his stuff. He is a woman beating loser. He has no place being anyones role model.

im with CB. Rihanna is trying to make it like she didnt do anything. now look at her shes trying to hook up with any and everything she can find in LA. im no CB fan but i think he will be back.

I use to like that young man, now I will never watch or allow my children to watch anything he is in or on. He is a woman beater!!! he has the never to say haters, yes I am a hater and will alway be a hater of men who beat women!!!

He needs to spend less money on cars and more on getting an education. He sounds completely ignorant.

REALLY? You're right – you're not a monster. You're a monster in denial! One day you'll wake up. Apparently no time soon. Look in the mirror and see how much you resemble Ike and Bobby! Get help soon. Don't wait until you're flat broke.

So we're just supposed to take the word of someone who can't event speak proper English? Instead of calling everyone "haters", why doesn't he speak out against violence against women...right, I forgot, he's playing the "that never happened game".
Hate to break i to you Chris, but your fifteen minutes are up, although I would agree that you are no monster, how can you be?..you're not even a real man.

Wow, I am a hater because I dont like a guy who beat up a woman. What a fool. Can you be more dumb than this guy? Fools always eventually come out as fools. Wow, how can anyone with any education or half a brain still like this loser.

Poor role model.
Terrible English.
Should be incarcerated .
Should be required to take several anger management courses.
Boycott any concerts he appears in.
He obviously did not learn from his life experiences.
His mother must be ashamed of him.
Stop buying his music and stop attending his shows.
Support domestic violence groups.
Teach your daughter to not accept abuse.
Teach your son to not be an abuser.

well you sure "ain't" a MAN by any means.

Sounds like another wife beater refusing to accept responsibility for his actions. I'm sure his next words will be "she made me do it" His "fans" should send him a message by not buying any more of his music.

He is a loser

I feel sorry for this kid. all accounts of this night he was attacked first.
we are allowed to defend ourselves. do you teach your daughters to attack men when they are mad and do you teach your sons to let women beat them. he was driving a car when she went nuts according to her own statements about some text or some other woman. i guess if in her tantrum he wrecked the car and killed an innocent family that would be all his fault too. she should not have attacked him in a fit of anger and then cry victim. i say dont hit anyone if you are not prepared to be hit back.

ok well here are my thoughts yea chris should never have hit her if he did but most men dont just snap and whoop the crap out of a girl friend they have been with for a while so honestly i think the story is some what exaggerated

Chris Brown is right, he's not a monster, monster are fictional characters and Chris Brown's lack of respect for human beings and violence directed at women is very real. I suggest Cris Brown learn to read, wright and to speak proper English so he can attend counseling sessions that will enable him to recognize his weaknesses and once he has admitted that he is indeed a woman beater then it will make it easier for him to deal with his mental deficiencies and I am sure that his talents will sky rocket him into success for the right reasons. Also Bow Wow, well that speaks for itself. If nothing changes,Chris, nothing changes.

Unfortunately most abusers aren't monsters. At least they seem like normal every day people until you cross them. Then they cannot ever be trusted again. No one has the right to harm another person. I taught my children to walk away when someone angers them. That's what we all need to do.

Could someone PLEASE send this child BACK TO SCHOOL! He can't properly speak, let alone flow with a sentence that doesn't make him look like a complete un-edumicated, intellectually challenged imp.

“Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you all, I ain’t no monster.”

Should be

"Everyone who is/that is a hater, they are hating. .... I am not a monster/ I'm not a monster or I'm no monster".

Did this child not learn that a double negative makes a positive? So in the end.. He is a monster... I ain't no monster = I am a monster... in case if he never was corrected... Ain't is not a word.

And this is the future of our nation? Lord Jesus please help us all. All that fortune and I've seen poor people come from Africa that speak a more proper English than this imp.

so let's get this right...people are haters if they find what he has "alledgely" done heinous so that must make his "real fans" sheep and puppies...good choice in men Rhianna!

I'd probably love my fans too if they were stupid enough to support me after beating up a woman. Way to go Chris and set a great example for young african americans! Yo ain't no monster!

This man is in serious denial! What he did was monstrous. Until he can accept and admit that then he will never be rehabilitated.

Let's just say hypothetically Chris Brown had a daughter (God forbid). How would he feel if a man beat her like he did Rihanna?

Perhaps he could follow the lead of Malcolm X – learn to read and speak proper english while in prison

I hate to break it to Chris Brown, but yes, you are a monster. Little kids look up to you and since you aren't even apologizing for what you did, they think it is okay. As a public school teacher, I have to talk to kids about situations where they have said....'I'll Chris Brown you'....or "You'll get Rihanna'd'.

You are a monster because of what you did, but more so because of what you didn't do...which is take responsibility. Also, Peter Pan anger management do nott count.

It's sad that most of us work hard every day for our money and this punk beats his girlfriend and doesn't know proper English and is a multi-millionaire. Does anyone know if this loser even graduated from high school? If his comments are any indication, I would say no.

Chris, the fact of the matter is you beat on woman, not just Rhianna, I'd say you may not be a monster but you certaintly is not a saint. You should keep your mouth shut until you found out who your TRUE FANS REALLY ARE. Most pretty boys are either GAY OR NUTS, KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF AND MAN-UP and walk away. You ran to the church now stay in the Church and trust God to help you get better with your anger (stay off drugs and alcohol). It is not cool

He's young and needs serious counseling. Its as if he has no one guiding him in his walk. Where are his parents or other family memebers? Are they advising him? Or is he ignoring their probably wise advise to lay low?

He has poor public deportment and needs a spokesperson, where is his publicist? He may be talented, and even famous but this move is career suicide. Very, very, unwise Mr. Brown. I'm sorry for you.

Poor, poor, Chris!!! He shold be ashamed of himself, not being able to speak english. Any money he has left should be spent on College. It's never to late to go back. This is the perfect time for him to do so. Can't work on an album, it would be a waste of time since nobody will buy it.

He is the perfect example of what a man should NOT be like.

Domestic violence is about the abuser's need to control and the abuser's beliefs that say it is okay to use physical violence or other types of violence or intimidation to maintain that control when he feels his wife or girlfriend is doing something he doesn't like – when he perceives she is out of his control. He says he is not a monster, but he IS an abuser!

Put him in with BUBBA and see how tough he really is!

To Cate, Chris Brown is an excellent musician, you would know this if you listend to some of his songs. On the subject of him being a monster, come on Chris, admit you messed up and made a mistake, and move on. Everyone makes mistakes, you just have to admit to them and move on.

Give it a couple of months and a good hit song and everyone will forget all about this "Beating".

First, let's send him back to grammar school so he can learn English. Then, send his butt to jail where women beaters belong.

Chris is a poor example of a man. He does not deserve any kind of success. Does he think we are blind or what? I hope his career sinks to the gutter where he belongs!!!

You both need help, being young and attractive having money you never had makes you feel like you are on top of the world. If you was broke you'd kept your hands in your pocket. My words to you is not to allow fame destroy your integrity as a human being, and man. It is not cool to beat woman, for no reason. She is just as bad after finding out her background, two people with violent backgrounds should not be together spreading the cycle. I am not judging you, Chris, hoping you have learned a valuable lesson in life about woman. Not because you are afraid of losing money but because we all have to learn to love one another in respect. It is more respectful to move on and let her go.

Seems like someone needs to employ a damage-control specialist, as they are doing a very poor job on their own.

(I guess I'm just another "hater," pardon me if I don't think that beating up your girlfriend is cool.)

Of course someone who is disturbed enough to batter women is also disturbed enough to think that he is not a monster.

To be that violent at such a young age - scary and pitiful. Let's seem some remorse.

He is right about one thing – he ain't a monster, he's a criminal. He committed a crime. As a society we should hold him accountable for this heinous crime against women. No doubt, he is already guilty in my eyes.

Well Chris..........anyone who hits a woman, IS A MOUNSTER, AN ABUSER, AN IDIOT, A NO NAME MAN.

I am sorry for your girlfriend and if she is still your girlfriend, SHE IS ALSO STUPID and AN IDIOT for returning to you.

YOU HIT HER ONCE, YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN!! This statement is real.

You...........deserve no fans, no fame, no simpathy from anybody.

wow-very profound statement–is that the best he can do–he is rather sad person

Wow. He can't even own up to it. This is no man. This is a little child, and he will always be a little child.

Can we now stop talking about this pathetic person? It's obvious he isn't worth anything as a human being.

Read Chris Brown's story. Try to understand the abusive situation he grew up in. Try to understand the abusive person it made him become. Try to have compassion for both sides. Pray that both parties get the help they need. Approach the situation as if it were your daughter, then approach the situation as if it were your son. He is only 19. Try to have some compassion for people who can sometimes make horrible mistakes.

Actually Cate, Chris Brown has sold more records than Rihanna. He's just more or an "urban" artist than Rihanna. Also, just because he's black and got into some trouble doesn't mean his fan base is composed of jail birds. That's a racist comment or a very ignorant comment!

Another idiot making a lot of money based on little to no talent. If only the media could wise up and ignore these jerks. Real men, good men, don't beat up women. You've got a lot to learn and jail will be good for you.

Is this the same Chris Brown that stated back at age 16 that he would never date another celebrity? Wow, kids say the darndest things.

Sounds like he is not really aware of what he did, or he thinks it's not a big deal. With that attitude, Rihanna and any of his future girlfriends/wives/children will be beat up too.

chris brown – what a loser. too bad women always fall for the wrong guys, while nice single guys are shaking their head. it's unbelievable. men like chris brown is part of the reason that virginities are being sold to the highest bidder. sad.

“Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you all, I ain’t no monster.”

Wow...he really can't speak proper english nor take responsibility for what he has done can he? I guess he thinks because he had 15 mins of fame that he is above the law and that women are punching bags.

One word... LOSER!!!

I hope this menace to society goes to jail. He can't even eloquently speak his case, let alone realize the severity of what he did. I hope time in prison teaches him a little humility and respect.

I've seen the photo. Only a monster would do that to a woman.

All I have to say is pathetic...learn to respect women and learn to speak the English language.

What a loser! Hopefully, she's seen the light and realizes she can do much better and end up with a more mature, better looking and more talented man!...not a little boy trying to be a man!

Ok. The man turned himself in. Then he says "he ain't no monster." What the heck is he, then? A part time boogie man? Is he thinking, "at least I didn't kill her"? I'm sure there were other times, Chris Brown, when you turned maniac against your girlfriend and we just don't know about them. If Rihanna has any sense, she will stay the hell away from this MONSTER. For her, so far, NO good.

The headline is wrong, he said "I ain't no monster" which thanks to the double negative, means, "I am a monster."

Chris brown is not an abuser- I think in situations like this both people involved should both be equally treated the same, Rhianna must have done something to make Chris Brown mad, Which lead into a big conflict and then physical abuse so in this case both should be equally blamed and labled as abusers.

He is a sad little man.....

Chris Brown... Musician, Artist, D-Bag.

Sorry, I have to disagree. He's a sad little boy in desparate need of an education and character.

Actually, that's exactly what you are Chris Brown: a monster. You named it. Thou dost protest too much.

Chris Brown may not be a monster as in Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy, but I think I speak for most people in saying we still don't have any respect for him if he did anything similiar to what is being reported. His apparent lack of remorse makes it all the worse.

Its funny how they constantly use the word "allegedly", as if theres some chance that this is a mistake and someone else beat on Rihanna. Regardless, his "career" is most likely over anyway, but Im sure that 13 and 14 year old girls can find a new hero in someone a little better suited, like our new American Idol, Kris Allen, for example. "He aint a monster" either lol

Man, he seems really apologetic! This dude is a loser, and a world class a-hole.

He is obviously a person of limited intelligence – by his actions, his words, and his music

Adam,
So you're saying that women who are abused/beaten/killed deserve it because they MUST have instigated the "conflict"?

Adam, how can you say he is not an abuser?! True, they both are probably hotheaded kids, but he should have NEVER beat her like that. That was stupid because she's already back doing her Cover Girl commercials and he is .......where? I seriously hope she did leave him because she is much too young to start her life in an abusive relationship.

"I ain't no monster" is poor english but if you accept it as such, it means that he is a monster. If you ain't no monster then you are a monster. I am not a monster. Why don't you go back to school and gets yuzselfs an edubication.

Hes saying he isnt a monster, I just want him to prove it, prove the pictures wrong and the 911 call. Otherwise keep quiet. Hes lost all of his endorsements, and theres really no need at all for him to speak anymore. James Brown, Bobby Brown, and now Chris.

My last name is Brown too, its a sad cross to carry!

I don't get how having so many issues in the world right now the media has spend so much time and trouble on this case.
At the end of the day... Who really cares?

If Rihanna hadn't attacked Chris Brown, I would consider him to be despicable. However, Rihanna seems to have attacked him first, after she was angered by a text in his phone from another woman; because of this he hit back. If this is true, then I think that everyone should set aside this manifestation of our society's double standards. When an adult strikes another adult, he or she has to be prepared to accept the consequences, regardless of sex. For instance, if a small man struck a large man, I doubt many would sympathize with the small man the way many have with Rihanna in this case. Yet, because she is a woman, she's gained sympathy. No one can have it both ways: either all have fairness and equality under the law or the law becomes arbitrary.

Maybe he can take English classes after he finishes his anger management course. What a total thug.

Rhianna – do yourself a big favor and find a real man with class, integrity and intelligence.

Chris – use a dictionary if these words are too big for you to understand.

Adam – truly, are you nuts?
"Chris brown is not an abuser- I think in situations like this both people involved should both be equally treated the same, Rhianna must have done something to make Chris Brown mad, Which lead into a big conflict and then physical abuse so in this case both should be equally blamed and labled as abusers."
A classic sign of an abuser is not taking responsibility for your actions – "she made me do it". No one except Chris Brown is responsible for his actions, and if he beat her, his actions were criminal. No one will have the full story since we weren't there, all we will know is what the media storm shows us.

When you're wrong you’re wrong. What he should have said was that "...I have come face to face with the lower part of my nature, but I will do everything possible to reconnect to the better parts of me, please be patient with me I am only human..."

-not y'all are haters who the hell is advising this kid?

No, you are not a monster.
Utterly and completely retarded, but no monster.

“Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters"??? Who can he possibly be trying to convince wit' dem Ebonics? Just smile and try to look innocent, Chris. Don't speak, brutha'. Don't speak.

Oh, that's perfect Adam...."she must have done something to make him mad..." i.e. she deserved it. Sounds to me like you've been in that situation also Adam...and of course, she deserved it, right?

This mentality boggles the mind.

Hmmm,
He's young and made a mistake.
When I was 18, my girlfriend hit me while I was driving because I was done for the night.
I dropped her off at her house and drove home, never to see her again.
Funny, I was young and yet never felt the need to smack the crap out of a girl.

Chris doesn't deserve to apologize to the people, what he needs to do is apologize to Rihanna because no man on earth has the right to lay his hands on another woman. I strongly believe that he needs to be found guilty of the charges, and sit in a prison cell thinking about his actions.

PLEASE DON'T BUY HIS MUSIC, you are helping support this looser if you do, like my mom used to say "Money doesn't buy class".

Isn't this what all abusers say? Adam – are you really Chris Brown in disguise?

How about an apology to his fans for his behavior. He isn't admitting wrong doing which is his 1st step he needs to take to win back fan support. Not that he should be forgiven for his actions.

I don't think he should have said anything. Most of us are already convinced he is and this statement just reaffirms it. It's not a laughing matter and he should go to jail for a LONG LONG time...punk.

You go, Chris.. Tell us your story.. I think you are the victim here. Everyone was so ready to listen to Rihanna. Nobody gave you a chance to explain what happened.

I hope you have moved on. Find a woman who loves you and cares about your growth too. Selfish women like Rihanna will always get you in trouble. Find love and move on. Love your music. Keep singing.

"Chris Brown breaks silence!"

From how he speaks, he should've remained silent. Who on earth is advising him? Chris, the people you are surrounding yourself with only care about your money. I guarantee you that when the money runs out so will your friends. The only reason you're "breaking your silence" is because you have a album coming out. Do yourself a favor and take some time off and get major counselling and for goodness sake, PLEASE GO BACK TO SCHOOL. You are an embarrasment.

Chris, you flipped out!!! Own up to it!!! Get counseling. NOONE should hit/beat someone because they got p_____ off. I agree with several others about your "haters" talk. My God, use correct english. Quit talking like a retard. (No disrespect for those mentally challenged) I don't agree with jail time, but probabtion would be suitable, that and definately counseling. It will make you a better man. You owe Rihinna a "groveling" apology. Let her get on with her life, if you really love her and get the help you need.

Dude, Ms. Teen South Carolina thinks your beat down of the english language is worse than your beat down of Rhianna!

@ Disgusted -

Do you really think Rhianna "beat herself up"?? Wow. Now I'M "disgusted"! All of you who are grasping at any straw to try to defend Chris Brown, get over him AND yourselves. He hit a woman he claimed to love. End of story. Doesn't matter if she called him every name in the book, nosed into his business, nagged him, mocked him...whatever. He should've walked away before he hit her. Simple as that.

Adam...Really? I take it you think hitting women is OK? I pray that you aren't in a relationship and If so, I pray she leaves before it's too late.

Even thought it's not right to beat a women...I still believe there's two sides to an story...And this is an personal issue between a couple and should be handle by them and the authorities. The only reason people are talking about it because they're in the public eye. I don't believe he's a monster, I think he's young man that has made a mistake, which makes him just like everyone else, human.

Shame on you Chris Brown, your mom needs to have a serious talk with you. You have deep emotional problems

I believe that there is more to the story. Guys always get bad wraps. Rihanna probley did something to provoke Chris to do that.. No one knows the true story until court, so it's time yall just shut yall's mouth and worry about yall's own problems and relationships, because no relationship is perfect.

What a way to be a man.... beat up your girlfriend then state how you are not a monster. Give me a break.. he should be in jail or at least probation for his actions. But since he is rich and has contacts no charges have been taken... what crock.. if it was a normal guy he would be facing charges.

"Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you all, I ain’t a monster.”

Now in English – "Everyone that hates are haters. To all my real fans I love you. I am not a monster.
I just beat the crap out of woman and cannot speak English.

Chris,

How about doing something that will shock everyone. Something totally out of character for a woman beater.

Apologize!

Chris Brown you are an illiterate fool.... with tons of money to buy your way out of domestic violence charges. Get a clue and therapy for your anger issues.

Chris let your publicist speak for you. I am embarrassed for you and your grammar. Maybe you should look in the mirror because I think you are actually the "hater" yourself. No MAN or WOMAN should ever hit another human being. You need help, jail time and perhaps another couple years of english classes.

You hit a women, BAD. Try to say we are haters, BAD. But you in jail GOOD. Any QUESTIONS???????????? Call the local jail and check in. THEN, say you learned your lesson and don't do it again.

Actually, Chris Brown does not owe the public (that's all of us) an apology for his behavior. His apology should go to Rihanna...and Rihanna alone. There are always two sides to every story. Even though this is a matter between Chris and Rihanna (and the justice system), it will be interesting to see what the "other side" of the story is when the media entices both parties to speak publicly.

You can love some of his music but hate that he lost his temper. Separate the 2. Enjoy his talents. Listen to "Tell Me" and revel in rich harmonies that only black people can seem to master. Yeah the lyrics are simplistic and thugish but oh that music is masterfully put together. When the refrain slides in its like cool water on a parched throat in the middle of a desert. Why can't white people create stuff like this? Where would we be without black influence in popular music? We would be very poor musically, that's what. Thank God for talent like this.

Everybody makes mistakes. One of America's greatest strenghths is its ability to forgive. Let it happen. Life goes on.

And don't for a minute think that women are never partly responsible for violence. Yes its wrong and the instigator is mostly responsible. But not 100% responsible. Almost always the woman is nagging and like a thorn in your side. Its never 100% one side's fault. That is rarely discussed. But why don't women EVER seem to admit this? It NEVER happens. They NEVER take any responsiblity. Its time the world wakes up to reality from both sides. 10% responsiblity is very different from zero.

Chris – just focus on what you do so well and things will iron themselves out. We'll support you 100% when you return. Couldn't be soon enough.

I bet his family changed their names and moved out of town.

I guess I am a HATER....I also don't condone attacking a woman. I don't care what she said or did. Chris Brown, learn English. If you want to make a statement about something so important please sound like you at least went to elementary school. YOU ARE GUILTY and your lawyers should have told you not to say a word...wow you are a serious idiot.

What a shame. Is that it? Please young man, get it together, I mean really together, you're future will depend on it.

Chris Brown was at the Orlando Magic playoff game on Sunday night along with Usher. They zoomed in on him on the jumbo-tron and flashed his name. I've never heard 16,000 people erupt with such hostility before. He put his head down and they moved and Orlando police office to within about 6 feet of his courtside seat.

After what he did he deserves to go to jail and have bigger, nastier men make him their woman.

This guy is an idiot. Why do people even pay attention to him?

There is never an excuse to hit a woman... Not even if she is wrong....I ain't hating at all, but they gonna try to hang his behind..! Make an example... I don't think that's cool though. Everyone makes a mistake.. He's young...

SHUT YOUR IGNORANT MOUTH CHRIS!!!!

CHRIS BROWN = DUMB IDIOT

I think the media are the biggest hater's in the world. They don't know what happen so they are making assumption and upset, because he refuses to speak to them. You guys don’t know what happen, but are quick to judge. Yes he beat her, but what provoked it? A lot of you have been in the same situation, but it never gets reported. I never beat up a women before, but I also never been in a situation like Chris, a moving car, while my girlfriend is beating on me because of a text message. Yes Rhianna has a history of violence she said it herself. I like both artists they are great performers, I feel this is an issue they must workout amongst themselves. She went back to him right?

His comments are reflective of 2 things. First , there is the lack of education that stems from seeking fame and fortune above the ability to speak proper english (I ain't a monster). Secondly, the "haters" he is referring to are people who won't tolerate the degradation and abuse of women, a theme that is prominent in the rap culture today. Lastly, any "fans" he has left are waiting to be the cell mate of a woman-beating "celebrity"

Dude, you're a loser!!! Here's some advice...go back to school and learn proper English. Graduate from HS, go to college, and get a real job becuase you are history in the entertainment business. And while you're at it, go to anger management classes too. You're the scum under the scum – eeewww.

unbelievable..handy with his fists and the english language...

This is to Disgusted, Michele, and Adam – Why must it always be that when a woman (in the "spotlight" or not) is used as a punching bag it somehow comes back to being her fault for saying the wrong thing or looking the wrong way or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time? but ultimately the public says somehow it is her fault??? Try being on the other end of that fist or that choke hold or that slap. Then tell me that it was YOUR fault.

This is to Marc – To a point i see your point. She supposedly ripped the cell phone out of his hand after receiving a sexually explicit text message from another woman and threw the cell out of the car window. So yes your point is taken that she is not totally innocent...BUT that deserves to be slapped and punched in the face repeatedly till you need medical care??? I do not think so...but then again I guess I will be considered one of the "haters".

I find a lot of the "celebrity" BS that is going on a little pathetic myself. We dont see everyday people being swooned over for beating their loved ones, or for making their dogs fight to the death (ie Michael Vick, DMX) or for every little indiscretion that is commited. But let it be a person in the spotlight and all the cockroaches come from every little crack in the wall to say "poor Chris Brown...he aint a monster"... well to be honest with what society accepts now...he probably isnt.

Let's quit focusing on his career and focus on getting out young people an education (ie “Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you all, I ain’t a monster.”) and focus on getting the anger management that he so well needs and deserves. Will this change him??? It's doubtful...once they feel the power of hitting and hurting...they WILL do it again. Proven Fact.

it's bad that he beat up the girl BUT how does that affect anyone that has commented??????? People take celebrities so serious.....They're here to entertain, so let them entertain, and you worry about your own life and let them worry about theirs

Chris, you should keep your mouth shut until this whole thing blows over and when you decide to talk, say something that shows taht even if you are not a 'monster' you are at the least remorseful for what you did. Oh and by the way make sure it is grammatically right!!!!

I mean I dont condone Chris Brown for hitting a female, that should NEVER NEVER happen, but we all dont know the REAL story on what happen, and Rihanna may not be as innocent as what everyone sees her as, We all should keep an open eye as to what cause the effect to add to the resolution.

He is such a an immature loser. Shame on him!

Really? Not a monster? Then what kind of person beats someone they profess to love beyond recognition?

And, really, to other commenters...let's blame the victim some more, shall we? Since that makes it okay to beat someone to a bloody pulp. She must have 'deserved' it. :/ Sad.

Chris Brown you are a true LOSER. You have no real fans left. Under no circumstance at all does anyone have the right to beat a woman. Just because you are a star we should still like you. Your career is DEAD!

I am greatgrand mother, and yes we hate what happened with Chris brown and his ex girlfriend, but you the news media are being unfair and hypocritical. so what if he's on youtube. T.i the rapper got saught with illegal firearms or trying to purchase them and was given a reality show "Count Down To Lockdown" Bebe Winans was accased of assaulting his ex wife two weeks after the chris brown saga, nothing was said James brown was constantly in the news for assaulting a female and was still glorifed. to compare chris brown with o.j simpson was cruel and heartless.O.j simpson was found not gulity and poor old ruthless america couldnt except it. A.j hammer, jane velez and other news commentators should keep thier personal opinions to themselves and let the courts handle this. Chris and Rihanna need our help and you AJ hammer dont havr to tell anyone whether they should buy his cd, be careful people while trying to destroy this young man you may destroy yourselves. there is a supreme power somewhere that we may all have to answer to one day and it is not oprah.

Wow! As an African-American high school English teacher, I"m thoroughly embarassed and mortified for Mr. Brown. You brutalized a beautiful young woman, and you break your silence on the matter using borderline illiterate remarks to defend yourself. Actions speak louder than words, but in this case your words (or lack of) are speaking rather loudly.

I think after all that happened to Rihanna, he had nothing to say because it was all his falt. He doesn't want to lose his fans for his actions. Honestly, it's sad how the only thing he said was that he ain't a monster. What kind of statement is that? Comes to show you the type of education this man has.

I dont agree with what was done but for the statement that "his real fans are writing from jail" is a completely idiotic statement and before you or anyone else commment on the story you should think of how dumb you will sound. And then look into who his fans are like my 11 year old daughter and the rest of her elementary school and teach them on what Abuse is and how to handle it like Rihanna has done.

The sad issue in the aftermath of this is the P.R. (Public Relations). They got what they wanted: everyone is talking about Chris Brown, and opining and arguing over Rhianna's involvement and how much she should be blamed for. Bottom line is noone ever deserves that kind of treatment, to be beaten and humiliated–but the blogs, emails, news stories, etc. that have followed a less than articulate comment, have basically enlivened and emphasized his name and status because he is once again on the lips of fans, both past and present. I personally hope they can both heal, learn from the experience (including legal ramifications), and then able to move on with their lives.

I really feel what people are saying about him beating up on that girl, but like someone wrote earlier, what everyone is going on is what they heard and I personnly read that she was the one who got all upset about his text. Who's to say she didn't hit that man and didn;t think he was going to defend himself, thinkin she might put her nails in his eyes or something, she obviously needs some kind of anger mngt or theropy for wantin to read that man's text's anyway and them to go off on him like that.

True she looked real bad and he maybe didn't have to go off like that, but what would you do if someone hit you b/c of something they didn't like, you would defend yourself.
She might have had all this set up, b/c she isn;t pressing charges or anything like that and if I was threatened by having my life taken then I would do everything possible to keep that person away from me, even if I did love him and meant jail time. Not lets just get this over with.

There's two sides of every story, and he had a right to hit that girl if he was being hit himself.
she needs to learn who to put her hands on.

Big up ya head, Chris.... give us and Rhianna a comeback to not forget.

It's funny that everyone on here has something ignorant to say about Chris Brown. YES, he has fans. Why would he not still have fans, little brain people. When has a celebrity of any race, genre, age lost a fan due to his/her legal troubles.

As far as CB hitting females, I am a woman and I will say this. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CAR. I am not blaming Rihanna for anything, but no one knows who hit who or how the altercation began. I guess if the media told you a brown cow was spotted jumping over the moon, it must be the truth. Stupid people.

And yes, I am fully aware of the pictures leaked to (of course the media). He shall have his day in court to defend these allegations and I guarantee he will get off much lighter than you ignorant people think he will.

Act like a hater, walk like a hater, talk like a hater, probably a hater.
Quack Quack...........

She never even told her version of the story so how do we know that she did not somehow provoke the fight?That is not to say he should have beat her up, but who really knows what really happened? Is the rumor true that they are back together? If they are a couple again I think they should give his money back. Nobody took Ike's money when he beat TinaTurner all those years,whats the difference?Let them work out their own problems

Actions speak louder than words Brownie Boy... MONSTER is what you have already demonstrated to us that you are!! You can't undo it – why don't you own up and get your sorry MONSTER a$$ into some anger management so you don't mess up any other people's lives (not including your's because you've already screwed that one beyond repair – plus we don't really care about your life anymore...monsters don't get the benefit of the doubt – and they don't get second chances to abuse, batter and beat ANYONE).

Take a FLYING LEAP BROWN!!!

It would be nice if he spoke English. But it doesn't matter. Chris is in need of some serious help!

I think Chris Brown needs to do some soul searching and reflect on his wrong doings. Staying in denial will not win back his fans. The only fans he has are men who agree that it is ok to beat a woman. I think Chris Brown should be ordered by the judge to get beaten in the face by a woman and then see how it feels to be treated like worthless trash!

Wow! You would think that after having this whole thing play out in the media Chris would have (at least) shown some sympathy. But that's the culture we live in. I think he hurt his credibility even more so today....Who are his PR people? Whoever they are, they need to be fired. And if that was HIS decision to come out in the media like that without even a prepared statement, then he is gonna learn some hard lessons in his life. It's truly sad....

Chris Brown thinks he is above the law. I know this because he got thrown out of the strip club I work for being 17 two years ago. It is never right to hit a woman, and he has no remorse. He needs to go to jail learn a hard lesson. I think this incident proves he lacked any worthy father figure in his life.

His ego -which is fragile, inflated and not tethered to tightly to his soul-clearly indicates his dismissive tone to behavior that is his and his alone. Chris -the only person who HATES you is YOU! I hate your thoughts in believing you need to dominate someone in order to make yourself feel big. I hate your decision-making process that is so skewed to allow you believe that ignorance is your best legal defense. I hate your actions that seem to be supported by some real bad "group-think". I hate the fact I have to feel this way about you, but I don't hate YOU. All this "playa hatin'" talk only tells me how insecure you are.

chris.....that's the best you got!!!!?

Rihanna might be to blame? Attacking him? I have been really upset with a woman, hit by a woman, and had a woman trying to push all my buttons to get me to explode...still at no time did I ever hit a woman! I'll keep her from hitting me but no way would I go on a slugfest like he did. So you people that say Rihanna should take some of the blame...are you crazy? Chris needs to man up and act like a man, both with not hitting women and admitting he was wrong.

he's a coward, because he was hitting someone 1/2 his strength, a n d now he sounds like an ignorant f o o l ......... how pathetic ........ he's pathetic ....... anyone who's with him now and in the future - their pathetic as well ..........

Fake Smile Hip Pop Corny Glossy No MMA Skill Havin' Girl Figting Same Dance Move Coward Bowlin'Ike Turner Country CHRIS CLOWN is a Fraud! He had a chance to make real statement for his "fans" but instead he's at the bowling alley with Bow Wow? Sad. Trust No One.

Now what?

The best thing that Chris Brown can do for himself is to say nothing more at all. He has shot himself in the foot. He need not now take that foot ,and put it into his mouth. I am sure his council did not advise him to do something so silly. Mr. Brown has set a bad example for all young men – his 15 minutes are up.

P U N K / W O O S

Soory that is what the boy is. Not yet a man. Sad the lady can stay with that, she too needs our hope.

N O O N E deserves to be hit. EVER..it is not complicated.

You AIN'T? What kind of talk is that? Don't you know how to speak English. I didn't like you before, and now that I know you never bothered to learn English, I like you even less. Guys who beat up on women ARE monsters. They are not fit to live among the rest of us. Go chill out somewhere with an English grammar book. It's disgusting. The government wants us to learn Spanish when so many of our own people can't even speak English. Actually, you're an embarrassment to us all.

So we cannot be considered real fans unless we condone him beating up women? Not that I was a fan in the first place. Whoever he dates next better reconsider because it seems obvious to me that he has no remorse and hasn't learned his lesson. This man has not hit his last woman.

Que dijo? Is he speaking another language? Perhaps his real fans understand what he is saying. His real fans probably won't be reading this article on CNN either.

Chris Brown is a good music artist but not much of a man, a real man never hits a woman, aint no excuses especially how bad he hurt her though people need to understand that this wasn't for nothing, he was hurt as any guy would have been cuz he thought she was cheating on him cuz of conspicuous text messages on her phone now admit it, alota people would be angry, so its not like he did it deliberately, he just lost it, still no excuse for what he did but someone has to take that into account.

gotta love a guy that beats on women like a punk, then tries to prove what a nice guy he is. Chris Brown is a pathetic coward, and nowhere near anything that resembles a man. He is a little child that knows a man would stomp him into the ground, so he beats women instead. I would bet my life that Rihanna isn't the first woman to get hit by Chris Brown, and will not be the last. I've never purchased a Chris Brown CD, mostly because I am a fan of real music, and couldn't sit through an entire song of his, let alone an entire album. The best part was when he beat up Rihanna, and then tried to make it seem like it was her fault. WHAT A PATHETIC LOSER!

From "Disgusted"......OK. Here we are. Everyone against Chris. Did anyone stop to think that Rihana has issues and needs anger management….big tyme. Who’s to say she didn’t “beat herself up”? Guess no one has ever watch A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.

Yes the so-called diva needs mental help…..but I digress.
Still a Chris Brown.

Are you kidding me??? Yes, I am sure we all should believe that this was all Rihanna and an issue of self abuse.......stop making excuses for this guy.

Secondly...Adam....I agree with one of the posters who suggested you have been in Chris' shoes before if you can actually JUSTIFY his behaviour.....just goes to show that this is an issue that is more prevalent than any of us would want to believe.

Regardless, step one, he has to accept responsibility for his actions rather than trying to plead his innocence and have us believe that what he did was not horribly wrong and criminal.

I like Chris Brown as a performer. Period.

WTH!!! With these women who are taking up for him!
It's even more disturbing than the stupid things he said!
Idiot women.

hey, youz all is funny. gess i don has ta say nuttin. thanks for the laughs bloggers. thanks for giving your self a name, chris...monster who still can't take responsibility.

I wish to God that people would leave Chris Brown alone. So he hit Rihanna: BIG DEAL!!! Women get abused all the freaking time, and no one ever carries on and on like they are doing now. Give it a rest. people that are telling every one to not buy chris's cd, yall are idiots. you can tell the whole world not to purchase his cds, they are going to still do it. HIS FANS WILL STAND BESIDE HIM WHETHER HE IS GUILTY OR NOT. I remember when R. Kelly was put on trial for peeing on a little girl, and no one was saying anything then, heck, he was even found not guilty, came out with another cd and people bought it. if everyone on here is so upset that he hit rihanna and you think its wrong that he hit her because she is a girl, then start a domestic violence campaign in your city to show that you care for all women of domestic violence. Stop trying to bring chris down. he made a mistake get over it and grow up.

"I ain't . . . then exactly WHAT are you??? I am not a fan and do not own anything you have ever done, and until you admit just what it is you ARE, then what you will conitnue to be is GUILTY!!!

Prison? I'm all for the LA Boxing club challenge. Let's re-enact what the police report said happened, only Mr. Brown is in Rihanna's postion this time and a UFC fighter plays Mr. Brown. Furthermore, we'll broadcast it live on every channel that wants to carry it–LIVE. Let's see if anyone has feels sorry for the little wuss after that...

Uhhhh... Chris. I hate to break it to you, and be one of those "haters" you're talking about, but you are TOTALLY a monster. Just a rich, spoiled, monster.

Any man who beats a woman is a monster. Bottom line. I saw the pictures. That was not one "slip up" punch. He beat the living crap out of her. Anyone making excuses for him needs therapy. It is NEVER OK.

I have his CD, but I will never listen to it again. The song lyrics don't seem genuine anymore. I can't believe a word out of his mouth. I don't think he even speaks that way (his statement) naturally. I think it is all some facade to make him feel cool. It doesn't work. He just seems dumb and uneducated.

Being smart, nice and funny is cool. I hope people realize that one day. Being famous doesn't mean anything if you're not a decent person.

Mr. Brown has claimed in the past that he witnessed his mother being abused. If his mother was indeed a victim of domestic violence he was predisposed to becoming an abuser; HOWEVER, this does not excuse his acts on the young lady in question. This foul creature masquerading as a human should be treated like any other person who abuses another. He should be charged to the fullest for his alleged crimes. As a society, our first step should be taking the word "domestic" out of domestic violence. Violence is violence, no matter your relation to the other person. All abusers should be treated equally and as what they are...Criminals!

Adam, you have the same "logic" as abusers. Saying "she must have made him mad". That is scary.

Rihanna is NOT with him anymore. And hasn't been since he beat her. She has the support of her family, and people shouldn't be calling her names like idiot, and stupid. You have no clue whether she has had her life threatened or what.
Chris Brown is a narcissistic, immature, piece of trash. I'm glad others have the same sentiments. He needs to go to jail for this, beating a woman is unacceptable. Just because he's a celebrity, doesn't mean he can be violent and break the law.

I took a sociology class in university on domestic violence. We learned of some pretty shocking cases. One where the husband would tie his wife up during the day while at work and take the phone with him. He threatened to kill her if she ever tried to escape or contact anyone. Domestic violence is serious business folks, and can be complicated. it's not always easy for victims to just walk away.

He's immature..he's still young and needs to grow up a little more.

He should have kept his dang mouth shut. But how ironic is it that people are so down on Chris Brown but R Kelly had nothing but support from the public for having sex with underaged girls in videos!! Mind you, I don't condone either ones behavior but what I see is that a "man" who commits a sex crime against a young girl gets more props. How screwed up is that???!!

Well, I "ain't believin" it for one second that this dude has remorse for what he did to the poor girl. He rather make sure his fans "ain't lookin" at him as some sort of monster.

The fact remains... this guy, or ANY guy for that matter who beats up a woman IS a monster. PERIOD.

This Chris Brown dude better get with the program and fess up to how wrong he really was for doing what he did, instead of being so concerned about how his fans view him. What he did to Rihanna was so visually bad, that his fans should turn away until he gives one of the most heartfelt, sincere apologies he could give.

Any man who beats a woman, is a digusting individual. I do hope Chris Brown pays the price.

i take that back. but he should have a fair trial

We are all sinners in this world. People make mistakes. Only God can judge you.

alright just because he made one mistake doesn't mean he's a monster. i've been beaten before more then once & thats not okay. it was once, and it should be over with. rihanna's done with it and moved on to kayne. so this incident should be put behind everyone. not saying it shouldnt be remembered im jst saying its stupid we drag it out. and they even started playing him back on rados so eeryone hope off.

I guess I am among the ranks of people who found that they are "haters." I am a mother, a sister, a friend, and an aunt who has seen far too many women abused by men who come up with any amount of excuses for what they do.

I am teaching my daughters that if a man EVER lifts a hand to hit them for any reason they are not to walk but run as far away as possible from them. There is no excuse, no reason that can be given for beating a woman.

Chris Brown your music is banned in my home, on tv, or on the radio. We threw out the CD's that we had with your music on them. I have explained to my ten year old son why what you did is wrong and I will not glamourous you or your music or whatever message you think you have to be voice anywhere in my home. All it took was one photo of Rhianna's bruised and battered face for my son to understand.

There are many good reasons to hurl abuse at Chris Brown. The heinous nature of the attack that caused charges to be leveled against him are widely publicized. Furthermore, his new internet video demonstrates neither recognition nor remorse throughout its generally blase presentation.
I haven't scratched the surface of my contempt for men who abuse women, but let me cut to the chase: why on earth are people criticizing his grammar and syntax?

I've instructed in English departments at university level; in my private life, however, I still make frequent use of phrases such as 'y'all' or 'ain't'. The practice can be labeled cultural patois, regional vernacular, or simply slang. It does not constitute a reason to condemn someone.

Especially when more valid reasons abound. An attack on his style of speech seems as relevant as criticism of his choice of footwear. In the case of the video statement the problem is what he says and fails to say, not in how he says it. To become embroiled in petty attacks on how he expresses himself threatens to diminish the real issue here: the horror of domestic abuse.

I think Chris is a very young gifted performer but that could never excuse abusing a woman. The fact that he doesn't realize what he's done wrong and seems to be unapologetic about it makes him a very dangerous risk to anyone who dates him or makes him angry. He's not going to get help if he doesn't realize that he has a problem. It's a shame because he was in the middle of a brilliant career. I hope someday he'll figure all this out and get the help he obviously needs.

Kinda late in the game. He is saying this stuff NOW after being charged? Badly timed and badly advised. I hope he is attending therapy. This kid needs it.

What a fool. Still does not get that he beat a woman no matter what the circumstances. I hope he gets a long time in a cell to think about what he has done.

Unacceptable on so many levels .

I feel sorry for this kid; he's obviously been raised in a home without adequate love and supervision. Nevertheless, he's an adult and needs to be taught a lesson that his mother/father/grandparents/teachers should have taught him as a child: walk away from a physical confrontation.

p.s. to all of you who are going to respond to my post by saying that this is not his parents fault, I say, baloney! I am a young mother and know that loving a child involves more than just saying "I love you" and giving your kid the video game he/she wants. It involves setting limits and teaching children how to deal with challenges through your own example.

Most monsters deny that they are, so why would he think any different of himself after beating a girl.....

Chris learn proper english its not "I aint a monster" its "I isn't no monster".

Just another ploy to keep an innocent black man down!

What a sad statement indeed. If this is the best that Chris can muster then he is going to sink himself in court. Then again he will probably get off like OJ and Robert Blake, but eventually he will do this or something else and will wind up where he belongs which is PRISON.
Maybe then he will see how bad he is . I personally will not allow my daughters to play any of his music in my house, or purchase any of his crap. I hope he winds up broke and on the streets. With his great command of Ebonics he could be a great car wash attendant.

See what the Media does? This young man, very young man, made a horrible mistake and now he is paying dearly for it. As I read everyone's comments I am sadden that half of you are ready to string him up and hang him, or stone him, or how about behead him!! I am not condoning his behavior, however, this young man is just that, a young man. People are so quick to judge. There are three sides to every story; his, hers, and the TRUTH! Is he supposed to forever have this over his head, for the rest of his life. Come on you all. I'm sure he is paying dearly right now. Oh, and btw, he is not the only so-called role model that young folks listen too. There are so many others out there. He didn't invent "women beater". Pray for this young man that he receives the help that is needed. Pray for Rihanna too that she also gets help. Her self esteem must be mighty low right now. We need to show a little compassion for both these two young people and pray that Chris has learn a costly, valuable, lesson in all of this.

I actually thought that this kid could speak English!!!!! – Did he even make it to Grade School? – What a dissapointment??? – And to know that my 10 year old use to get so excited when he would hear his song on the radio.

Go to school and better yourself......It is never too late to learn.

Most of his fans are a group of easily influenced young adults. I am a mother of a 13 year old, and I find his actions to be not only disgusting but unacceptable and he should now use his fame to speak out against violence against women.

There is NO EXCUSE for hitting women. NONE!

I used to really like his music a lot, I always thought of him as a very talented person, sadly, I have no respect for him anymore...

CHRIS BROWN, YOUR CAREER IS SOOOOO OVER!!!

Take responsibility for your actions like an adult! He may be young, but he is old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. First, he beats a female. Then, he insults her by blatantly lying about it. He needs therapy and an education.

It's the friggin MUSIC!!!! It turns people into MONSTERS!!!!!

No lie.

His actions can't be justified. What he did was wrong. Until I see a picture of HIS face bruised and beaten, I won't believe justice has been served. My cousin was 5 mon. pregnant and was beaten up. She looked just as bad if not worse than that picture of Rhianna AND she was pregnant. She had stitches, staples, bruises, and cuts. The abuser plea bargained. He got 2 days for beating her and 5 days for breaking the no-contact order. Also had to take a Batterer's Education Program. Justice wasn't served in that case either. Someday Chris and my cousin's abuser will get what's coming to them. Have fun meeting your maker boys. (My grammar isn't perfect, but geesh, come on Chris!)

You should have continued maintaining a low profile. I can’t believe your response, as far as your concern your atrocious actions towards Rhianna was justified. I can’t believe having witnessed domestic violence growing up that you would turn around and inflict the same, if not worse, abuse on someone’s daughter. I must strongly disagree with you, only a monster is capable of conducting his/herself in this manner. I wasn’t there in the car with you or Rhianna (don’t know the full story), but I don’t need to know the step by step of what transpired in the car to tell you this type of abuse is not condoned. God forbid you should find yourself in a situation that has the potential of escalating to the next level, you WALK AWAY!

Wow, could someone please translate that into English for me?

Why are they showing all the negative comments on Chris Brown. I'm not saying he's right on what he did he is wrong for putting his hand on the young lady. Give him a chance stop making it seem like he's a career criminal.....I pray for him and rihanna.

He of you who is "without" sin..........let "him" cast the first stone. Bottom line people. This young man made a terrible, terrible mistake. and I hope justice is served QUICKLY. But some of us really have to slow down just a little bit. I have an older sister that "escaped" a relationship that was extremely violent. But I learned I have a choice. I can hate this guy and plot to take him out. Or I can forgive him like my sister did. Unforgiveness is a fitlhy rat. But when you don't forgive it's like drinking rat poison and waiting for the rat to die! God bless!

All of this anti-abuse sentiment is good. However Brown is just an immature child. His record company will continue to reward and endorse his behavior. We need to hold his record company and the music industry accountable if they continue to endorse such behavior. If he sells no records... then they will be forced to examine what we will and will not tolerate.

Adam, it is illegal for someone to use violence against someone else, as Chris Brown did. It sounds like you're trying to take the point of attention off of the fact that Chris Brown has no respect for women. Clearly by his grammar you can tell that he knows the only chance he has is to appeal to basically anybody that likes his music. He might have well said "I make good music, so there's no way I have a problem."

I think there is more to the story than he or she is telling or will tell.

i feel; bad for u.i really am a big fan of yurs.i d care wat these ppl say.i still ♥ u

noooooooooootttttt

He's such a loser. She needs to leave him. She can do better for herself. I used to be a fan, but after he went on Tyra talking about how his mom was abused, I can't stand looking at him after what he did to Rhianna. I know he's going to get off easy – unfortunately, it's an L.A. Celebrity Justice system.

The best thing Chris Brown could do is go back to school, get his GED and then go on to community college. At least then he might be able to sound a teensy bit eloquent. Move on girl.

Young man go back to school take a few english courses, enroll in an anger management program, seek therapy, go to church no even better develope a realationship with Christ! You are an embarrassment to manhood!

To Adam, Michelle and all the other Chris Brown apologists out there, if I understand you correctly (1) Rihanna brought it upon herself because she was jealous/threw the first punch/did *something to set him off; and/or (2) he should be left alone because he's just a kid who made a mistake. I gather you also approve of the Taliban stoning girls who are raped because "they brought it unto themselves by wearing western clothes/smiling at unknown men/walking unchaperoned/etc." Go ahead. Blame the victim. I wonder how you'd feel if it were you or a loved one.

As to his being young and foolish (or immature and ignorant), hitting a weaker person (male or female) until their face is bloodied and swollen is not a "mistake" – it's a crime. And he should own up to it and get help. Too many women and children have been killed by their abusers. How many more must die before ALL of us realize it is NOT okay to abuse the weak or different?

Why cant people realize that he cannot talk about what happen that night because he is in a ongoing trial. You can tell by the video that he wants to say alot more but he cannot. Everyone deserves a second chance, people make mistakes and make bad calls. But thats life hopely he will learn from this and be able to move forward. People always say what if rihanna was your sister or mother, but what if chris brown was your son or your brother. Would you want people to treat him the same, people who dont even know the real story judging your family off of rumors and speculation. If you are not God than you cannot judge.

dude u hit a woman, really kinda beat her #$@, thats definition for monster. your fault, not hating, i hate that u did that and set an example for young folks coming behind you

He says he isn't a monster but he didn't man up to his mistake and tried to get out of his car and run. Next if your goin to apologize to your fans you atleast owe them and the general public a formal apology, not some home video cam with improper english. In the end, mr. brown will have to apologize formally and fess up to his wrong doings because his fans or anyone for that matter wont forgive him

hey someone,

your the hater, he is talking about.. and thats in your heart, so I guess thats were you should be with the haters

I work at a skating rink, and i've boycotted his music since this incident. If only the other DJs would do the same!

You gotta be kidding me. This boy is an idiot. We all know what you did. You beat the crap outta her face! You could've manned up and said, "I made a mistake, I was wrong, I am sorry. I plan on getting help for my behaviors"...but no, instead you get all the stupid teeny boppers to harass Rhianna..the victim of your physical assault then put out nude pictures of her. You have no class, no cojones and if you were just some 21 year old punk on the street... you would have spent time in jail. If I am a HATER.. so be it. I will HATE any behavior that rationalizes violence against a woman. MAN UP.

yo jayz......he is still walkin, and...uhmm...kinda talkin.

I used to be a fan. I really thought he is seeking counseling, etc. so I was still open to hear his music. Not anymore...

as an artist hes very creative charming and talented...
yet he:
1placed his hands on a women, (period)
2denyes its event and given charges
3and can only say hes sorry sadenned ????@_@
he should of jus piked up the little dignity he had & apologized before tmz exposed him of his hot temper
i gess she took his phone n read a text from another girl n wudnt give it back .....
then he tryed to get it bak hit her n she replied im not your mother
referring to chris' past domestic violence between his parents
she wasnt right to say that but he had no right to hit her nither

You make me ill. Under NO circumstances should a man ever raise his hands to a woman. You really did a number on Rhianna. Did that make you feel more of a man or a monster?. You are no man though I doubt this statement very much, so I would guess you are some twisted monster."No more and alot less". Grow up before you find yourself in jail with a few of you home boys. And, learn ro speak english! You are a poor excuse of whatever you are, does LOSER ring a bell? Ans clueless?

"chauncey May 27th, 2009 5:00 pm ET

I still love you Chris and don’t listening other people say about you. People alway look for the negative in people and not the postive. Every body in this wolrd makes mistake you just have to learn for your mistake. I no what you done is wrong but Rihanna have a big part in this situation. Keep praying and asked God to for give you because he is a forgiving God. I love you and going to keep you in my prayer"

amazing, you managed to butcher the English language even more than CB did. I'm impressed

Dear Chris Brown;
Guess how many women won't buy your records anymore.

Everyone else is a bunch of haters?! He has "true fans". There is photographic evidence of Rhianna leaving his car beaten. Did she kick the crap out of herself or was it the door that hit her repeatedly? Gotta love the sociopathic behavior and false denial. His actions say it all. I hope karma beats Chris Brown beyond recognition.

I am very impressed with the comments that have been posted thus far (not that it really matters). Any man that hits a woman is a monster. Chris Brown's "real fans" are either too young or just too stupid to understand the situation. Brown deserves to be in jail where he belongs.
Oh yeah, and he's an idiot (just thought I'd throw that in there too).

He will blame white people, somehow, as they all do for beating his girlfriend. Probably George Bush as Kayne did. Black people always blame white people for all of their problems. They were raised to beat their women.

without pro tools and backup musicians and producers you wouldn't have a career, your no musician, not much of a human being either, i was really angry when I first heard about this and saw the damage you did, now I'm disgusted! man up punk

Chris – I'd try to say this more eloquently, but I know you wouldn't be able to comprehend – so I'll say it simply, in language you may be familiar with: you're stupid. The message you sent out shows how immature and how completely incompetent of being a "man" you are. Try growing up a little, and take some responsibility for the things you've done.

Adam – nice try?

Why did it take chris brown so long to speak up? And when he did there was no remorse no apologies he just called the public a hater. Which just made things WORST !!!!! if this had happened to an ordinary person he would have been in JAIL money buys anything or anyone he should be put somewhere if he did it once trust me he'll do it again and the next time she might not be so lucky..... Maybe chris was high when he posted the video no one in their right mind would incriminate themselves like that and his trial hasn't even started he's either deaf dumb high or just plain old stupid or maybe a combination of all

Please guys and ladies just take it easy cuz we are just humans and you even what the next person behind has in his/her own cupboard.Please chris and rihana should get back together and settle their rift cus de main reason why dis is carrying so much wave is because they are both celebrities

I always believed in Chris. I do not condone hitting but I think that there is two sides of a story. I know he will bounce back. I think it is a good thing that they broke up.
God bless.

Chris Brown Trying to lay the smack down on a girl. What a fool. If she started he should have just dropped her off and move on. Hope she dont return to him like most abused girls do, and up worse!. O.J.

He is wrong for what he did, and by no means is it justified. But what would make someone do what he did?

"I ain't a monster, I'm just bad at grammar..."

hiz mudder shuld be proude. what an idiot!!!!!!

Firs off people He is only 21. cut the man some slack!

I find it more funny that the vast majority of the people who are tearing Chris Brown up because he doesn't speak "Proper" English, couldn't spell to save their lives and/or have the grammar of a 3rd grader. And who are you to rip this guy up when you can't grasp the language yourself? "Your" and "You're," "To" and "Too," "There" and "Their."

Hate him for hitting a woman. Don't diss the way he speaks the language if YOU can't even write it. Chiggety Check yoself before you wreck yoself. So to speak.

wow... how is it that someone that can't even speak correctly but can make millions, beat his girlfriend and still think he is alright? It's a sign of just how wrong society has gone and how pathetic the majority of people are these days. The human race is doomed as is the planet. Good times.

Some of you can't spell. A lot of you are also hypocrites. If everyone you knew started hating you because you made a bad mistake, you would be distraught. If he did it, he should receive his punishment. You are not judge nor jury. I imagine many of you would be throwing stones if you could. Examine yourself then speak. There are things we have all done that are wrong. You all being hypocrites is worse because you are lying to yourself. We all know what he did. Air some of your skeletons in your local paper then see how your friends and the general public react. A lot of this "love a person when they are up, hate them when they are down attitude is pervasive in society.

Chris Brown doesnt realize he's lost alot of fans because of his actions. Radio stations don't even play his music anymore and hes trying to make a comeback? good luck mr. brown. other artists don't even respect him. he should apologize to rhianna. at least man up alittle bit

I use to always listen to his music all of the time... until this incident. now when i when i hear his music i think of a woman beater. I heard he came from a broken home or abusive. So have I. I take pride that i am nothing like what i was raised in. I deleted any of his songs and refuse to listen to any of it. i was a really big fan. i guess i am now a hater... I am proud of that. He is a beater. Is he proud of that? and Bow wow? talk about.... Where are they now?

A sentence recommendation for Chris Brown's prosecutors: Staple cute little floppy dog ears to that ignorant head, and give him to Michael Vick.

Chris.... “Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you all, I ain’t a monster.”

Why for you be talk like that??? Haaaaaaaaaaaaa

Man, this guy is just a disgrace...His time is over!

Can someone explain to me, if he was brought up by his mother, how is she and the family paster helping him? Obviously she didn't get it right the first time and the courts should make him take mandatory therapy with a licensed therapist. He does not show any regret and not showing that he is working on the problem.

How does a 19 year old get to rent a car?? 'Normal" people can't rent until 25, shows that there are different laws and rules if you are rich and famous, please let's get him poorer, don't buy anything of his and become famous for going to jail to pay for his crimes.....some role model for his generation.....girls please, please ALWAYS press charges and get these jerks off the street, teach boys/men to respect the greatest gift in their lives....women

Even though the facts are not known, there is no escaping the fact that Mr. Brown was abusive. Some remorse would have helped or please just be quiet.

Yo, YO, I Ain't No Monster iought! Let me Axe you Sumthin? Use Thinx itz Kool to hit Women? If Use Don't, thens Use just a Hater!

ANY man that hits a woman IS a monster...PERIOD. And if he did it once he will most certainly do it again.

Hummm, I am so torn right now. I love this guy for his music. However, speaking from someone who was in an abusive relationship there is never a time to put your hands on another person period. Be it male or female. I am disappointed in the fact that he comes off sounding so "hood" like that's what's hot in the streets right now. He should be more focused on saving his "career" as opposed to making "Free Chris Brown" tapes. The saddest part of this whole ordeal is that my son (8) looked up to him so much. He wanted to dance and sing just like him and now he can't stand to look at him because of what he did. How freakin' sad...I think fans would respect him more if he came out like the "man" he is and took responsibility for his actions. But let me guess admitting fault isn't gangsta right...

This scum bag punk needs a beaten which no doubt he will get in prison, I can't wait to read that....yipppee

As a witness to domestic violence growing up, the only thing I can say is "yes" i HATE the abuser and have some resentment for the abused. To be abused and to take back the abuser over and over is crazy and doesnt set a good example to ANYONE. Both of the young adults have people looking up to them. Yes Chris, I am a hater. I hate abuser. And as for Rhianna, I feel pity for you. There is no way that this is the first beating. It usually just starts with a punch or a slap and escalates from that. It doesnt just begin with a ultimate fight experience. Therefore, who knows how many times he has actually "hit you" and you just keep going back. This should be considedered a lesson learned. Get rid of him, get some therapy and get back to your music making. Set an example for people, women who have been abused by the ones who "love" them. Even though I was raised in a house full of domestic violence, I know that love doesnt cause bruises and black eyes.

All of you who left the statements about the way he talks...how could you? You all have no right to bash him, the way he speaks or anything else. The way you all are talking about him you are no better than him. I do not condone domestic abuse but I do trust that everyone makes mistakes and deserves at least a second chance. Rih Rih has moved on and you see her on every internet blog site magazine and Chris has been sitting back trying to stay out of the eyes of people like you. I dare all of you to cast judgement on anyone. You have no right at all no matter how you feel to judge that is not in your power. I for one will still buy his music and go to his shows. Think about it why should he apologize if he really feels he did nothing wrong. Where any of you in the car that night? All of you are thinking one sided like well I think the picture I saw was real and I think they said he has done it in the past....DUH even Rih Rih has not come out to say it was true. Please get over this and focus on the positive instead of negative. Give him a break let the judge; judge him that is what he gets paid to do. Didn't someone give you a break before?

I agree with Chris Brown if you like him then you like him now . It is always two sides to a story.

Wow! Bow Wow and Chris Brown are such thugs. Nice job trying to keep it real. Thug life. Just plain pathetic.

I'm certainly not supporting Chris Brown. However, I'm shocked at how many people are posting about him and his music when it's clear they have no idea who he is or what his music actually sounds like. It's disgusting how much implied racism is hidden in plain sight within these posts.

This is just another unfortunate example of some young idiot who can sing and is thrust into fame regardless of the fact that they are a moron. Then when their true colors come out they want to hide behind their fame and fortune and sadly it works quite often. Its just another example of how in todays society if you have the cash you can buy your way out of anything. Plus you still have this stereotype in urban music that its the guy who is doing drugs and selling guns or prostetuting women that is the "real man". Is it any wonder that he did what he did?

"When an adult strikes another adult, he or she has to be prepared to accept the consequences, regardless of sex. For instance, if a small man struck a large man, I doubt many would sympathize with the small man the way many have with Rihanna in this case."

Actually, they would. There is a huge from between bruises on your girlfriends wrists because you restrained her from attacking you. There is a huge difference from slapping another adult back when they slap you.

There is NEVER an excuse to beat the living crap out of someone like we saw in those pictures. Putting someone in a headlock and beating them until he OR she is unrecognizable is not acceptable behavior in any circumstances.

In other words, if it was a fair fight, I'd like to see the pictures of his injuries.

For all of you who are placing some blame on Rhianna, maybe you are correct. For you who are saying "hey, he made a mistake"...look at the pictures. He didnt just punch her once and then realized what he was doing and stop. He beat the hell out of her over an extended period of time. He repeatedly punched her and then choked her to where she was almost unrecognizable. This was not an "oh my gosh i hit you and I am so sorry" situation. If you read the police report he pretty much wanted to kill her. Anyone with that much rage needs help and a prison sentence.

And Chris, LEARN TO TALK! The ebonics is sooo annoying.

Signed,
A Hater

Holy Smokes! Go back to school, dude!

I agree with many of the posts. He can sing and so someone snatched him up and promised stardom. Where are the folks in his life that are suppose to remind him of education, values? I'm sure the stardom was inticing to his caregiver/s as well but there are others that influence a child. Neighbors, Teachers, Grandparents, Church Members. Where were they?

And don't even get me started on the example Rihanna his setting. Hopefully she'll emerge wiser but only time will tell.

Jacquelyn are you nuts? You can't possibly blame Rihanna for the beating she took. Yeah, she may have been mad, and she may have even hit him first, but did you see what he did to her? Did your mother not teach you that men should never hit women? Oh, that's right, he's not a man, just a narcissistic, uneducated little boy with too much money. He needs an education in more ways than one. This kid needs to be prosecuted, jailed, and hopefully taught to speak, and control his mad impulses.

JR: if it is in plain sight, how can it be hidden? if the glove fits –

Is it my fault that certain individuals live up to a stereotype? Of course, it will always be the white person's fault – no matter what. It appears that african-americans are exempt from having manners and speaking proper english and taking responsibility for their actions- all because of something whitey did – who is the racist?

Every comment that I have read is very judgemental. Chris Brown is a good entertainer and his career is not over. I do not condone domestic violence. I agree he needs counseling. He is a young man and he has a lot to learn, so I hope he really gets the help he needs but I do not believe his whole career should be over because of this particular incident. Oh and all you people commenting on his grammer and career .......................what are you doing with your life? how successful have you been.......................exactly!

chris brown is a loser. hopefull he will get the time needed to learn correct grammar in jail. that's where thugs like him belong and need to stay.

adam -- your viewpoints are not understandable. did you have a mother growing up?

a real man DOESNOT hit a woman

I can't believe anyone is blaming Rihanna- even if they were verbally fighting, even if she tried to hit him, decent men don't hit women. EVER. PERIOD. So Chris: yes, you ARE a monster, and a dirtbag. If someone beat your mother, sister, daughter, or YOU beyond recognition like Rihanna, you would feel the same. You should be in jail getting the same beatings you gave her.

I think the post was in bad taste because of the situation that he is in yet I think he is also frustrated. When he speaks of "haters" he is referring to the gossip sites that no matter what he is doing always comment, negative or positive. I suggest you jump over to http://www.bossip.com. What transpired between him & Rihanna is a serious matter and he must accept the consequences for his actions. I hope the classes he has taken helps him to get back on track ... I hope she learns from this incident... I pray they both get better. This is why ppl really need to think prior to recording themselves or taking pictures ... anyone can get it and put a spin on it then people take sides without knowing the the history or why. I know for a fact that everyone at some point has said something using incorrect grammar! Good Day People...

There ya go, Chris. Chauncey is still your biggest fan. He ain't no hater!

Chris,
Listen to yourself, you are WOMEN BEATER!!!! You are trying to excuse yourself for what you did,there is NO EXCUSE!!!!!

Anger problems in an ingornant person? who would've thought?
Haters? Wow. i mean i may just take offence that your a women beater; yeah just maybe.

If it true that he beat that girl? This guy needs to except responsibility for his actions. Nothing she did gave him the right to beat her. There should be a trial, and right after he should be sent to jail. This is a crime that most end. Every minute, hour or day in this country, some poor women is killed by a man. Ladies you have to start a movement, men won't. No more sex, no more dinners, etc., until we take this more serious. Mother's teach your sons how ladies should be treated.

Yes, Chris, you are a monster.

I refuse to listen to any Chris Brown songs anymore. I hope his career is finished. He needs to learn a lesson, and for once, celebrities need to be treated just like normal people when they screw up.

Chris needs to get off his high horse and celebrities such as Bow Wow, Usher, and Mike Tyson need to stop excusing what he did and saying that he didn't know better. He is an adult; he should understand the fact that abuse in any form is disgusting and not okay.

HI! chris

Yes I hear that you were probably provoked, but that is not an excuse to hit a woman. You should'a held back and maybe walked away. But I guess its late to do that now. I think you have some pyschological issues you have to confront and deal with.

Hope you get help and deal with your issues (@least what happened between you and Rhi.)

Hey I am a fan and still support you aight!!

Oh Lord, the "Everyone Is So Judgemental" comment....you've got to be kidding, success?........its a sad day when you equate success with beating a 'loved one', poor values & speech and a full bank account. I'd bet most of us here would consider our lives MUCH MORE successful than Chris 'on the wrong path' Brown. I hope he finds his way. He can recover but only the truth will set him free and he seems, from his own words, to be in denial about his part in this.

For clarification, the only blame I feel Rihanna holds is her actions afterwards to young girls everywhere. I so wish she'd come out and really put a face to domestic violence. It is so much more prevelant in young girls nowadays. What a shame.

You people fail to realize you are not GOD he is the only person that can judge Chris Brown, not you people.

You guys dont know the full story, you are only getting bits and pieces of it, you were not there only chris, rihanna, and GOD. And my mother has always told me ( believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see because what you see may not be what it looks)

Get a life and leave these people alone, they cant live their lives as human beings because they have money , and fame. If that was someone without money and fame you would never hear the story.

And i aint a monster either

ok any body that hits a woman for any other reason other than self defense is ridiculous! What is the problem with these celeb? They (chris brown) think they can just get away with anything (like beating rihanna)??!!! I dont care what statement he releases, he is a monster for that though everyone makes mistakes he still is 100% wrong for what he did! I could go on forever but bottomline chris brown you are a pathetic weak creature why dont you go hit 50 cent??? Oh thats right he would probably shoot you 9 times!

Chris Brown is wrong, however, I must say this. Many of you who have taken the time to write your comments on Chris Brown should take a hard look at the person in the mirror. Many of you typed worse comments than he said. I have also been in this type of situation as a young male. However I was the abused.

Our society is so quick to judge, I won't go so far as to say that she got what she deserved but in every confrontation something had to provoke it. I believe Rihanna did more than just get mad over a text message. Most women believe soley because they are women that it is exceptable for them to hit their significant other. Both of them need counseling on handling sensitive situations, and controlling their emotions.

Allow me to reinterate Chris Brown is wrong...However Rihanna is equally as wrong if she put her hands on him. Or thought just because they were dating she was intitled to go through his personal property. If at any time you feel that you are losing your cool it is on you to remove yourself from that situation.

Another O.J. waiting to happen. For me, it's too late. I will never buy another Chris Brown single or record. I think that America like to forvgive celebrities when they show to be sincere about being sorry for what they've done. Watching the video, I don't see that from Chris. He's a smart ass punk.

Not only does he sound like an idiot, beat his girlfriend.. he then blackmails her into getting back together with him for appearances?

Yeah seriously. Stellar guy.

In response to Good Sense, who I just caught out of the corner of my eye, I agree with you; whether its a man or a woman doing the abusing its wrong. There's no debate about that; if she did whatever she did with the text message or whatnot, however, it still doesn't deserve the beating she got. Nothing justifies physical violence, except self-defense.

Chris, go and enroll into college and start a real career.
Life is to short to live in video land. You only live once,
try and do the right things now. We get older sooner
than later. Read your bible and stay focus on God, not
man. Good luck and stay prayed up.

"Someone"...your post wasn't really english either.

Mr. Brown,
So you love the people that think it's OK to beat a women. I never thought I'd go from being a real fan to a hater and be proud of it. But in this case I am. Be a real man and be responsible for your actions and get help. OH WAIT real men don't beat women....

Just because you are famous means that you can do whatever you feel like. Your income dependes on us.
I will see you in a corner asking for money, you do not have any education, and everything you do here, you will pay it here.

People will judge you based upon your behavior. After all, it is what you show to the world that speaks to your character. The way in which Chris Brown beat Rihanna and his seemingly lack of remorse is what I believe most people are reacting to. It is as though he dosen't get what people are concerned about. People who are abusers, don't cure themselves and he needs help. So for those of you who say people shouldn't judge him, then you are being naive.

And as for the "skeltons in one's closet" which one writer spoke to, if they are in the closet, then that is where they should stay, it when you bring them out, that the problems start. Then you begin to show people who you really are. And that is unfortunately what Chris Brown did. Fame and celebrity carry with it the scrutiny of people into all areas of your life. I hope he does get help and his career can get back on track.

He assaults Rihanna, then the English language...

I iz bein a hater, cuz you beatz up on womenz

guess his mother didnt do a very good job raising him otherwise he wouldnt have turned out like that or maybe he was so used to it in his own household growing up as a child that is just the norm to hit girls

Innocent until proven guilty...............does anybody remember that? Let's not judge and assume anything. Judge off facts and all of the facts haven't been brought to the table..........The kid makes a mistake and will crucify him without knowing ALL I mean all of the facts. I was reading what people were saying on the blog WOW I guess it is a perfect world and all of the angels just voice strong opinions and seems to be very racist...One day everyone will grow up and have an open mind..........until then I guess keep talking out of the side of your neck!

Chris:

#1: Shut up

#2: That's not music; that's noise.....

How much did you drink before making that statement? It is never okay to hit a female. If you want crossover appeal, you have to lose the thugish behavior and the bad grammar. p.s. Fire your publicist and put on a gag. You need it.

Pathetic

Chris,

Its unfortunate that Ryanna doesn't have a brother etc because if a man put his hands on my sister, I'd put mine on him .....dude, "men"don't hit women....this wasn't your 1st time, it's the 1st time you were caught. Get help man, it's not cool......but on other hand, you are a product of the hip-hop culture....your stunt was a "rites of passage" for the industry!

What if he is telling the truth? Have pictures ever been wrong or doctored? Have words ever been minced of flat out lies? I think many of you that are quick to judge are the fools who do not know all fo the facts. Good thing you are the people posting on these boards and not doing anything significant!

Poor Chris, l have never heard one of his songs, watched one of his videos or anything from him, after all; that kind of sissy-rap or hippy-hop he does is a dime a dozen. He´s got to have some connections or whatever, he is no big special talent.
Rihanna, the new Whitney Houston? Not even, Houston at least used to have a real, trend-setting voice when she was Rihanna´s age, not only looks. This man-boy is not a monster, he is a plain idiot, victim of his own crap, how can you throw punches at someone´s face, let alone a woman, your girlfriend, and hide your hands and pretend you didn´t do it? How can you achieve certain level of fame, be aware that you do have fans, as deranged and ignorant as chauncey here, who will look up to you in whatever way, even if good ole chauncey here and some others actually defending this idiot just do it because he makes them horny or whatever? How can this manicured, made-up, shaven-forehead, eyebrow plucker piece of imbecil call anyone a hater when he has done such hateful things as to beat up his own girlfriend? l hope he gets fined big time and spends enough time in jail to be treated just the way he treated his lady. Those inmates are not monsters either, they are lovers, not fighters...

Dearest Chris,

Who learned you to spoke?

I hope you didn't release this new track hoping for sympathy from the court. The judge(and jury) will no doubt possess a vocabulary for which you will need a translator. S/he will also have critical reasoning skills that will leave your head spinning into oblivion until you pass out from exhaustion.

Sincerely,
Your Public

It doesn't matter. Just the way he talks shows he is an ignoramus with too much time and money on his too young hands. Too young and dumb.

Ike and Tina Turner. The difference between Rhianna and Tina is that Rhianna didn't remain in the relationship as long as Tina did.

Ike's career wasn't the same after Tina left him and I believe the same is going to happen or has already happened to Chris Brown.

You can never give a good enough excuse for abusing a woman.

I believe you should be trying to apologize and come up with a foundation for battered women to help them get out of the situation that you put Rhianna through.

Ain't is not in the vocabulary. If you did as good in school as you say you did, then there is no need for the word ain't when your trying to address the American public. Please, in the future use proper grammar.

You've became the person that you hate – your step-father.

Luke 6: 37 – 38:
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

You need to deal with this issue.

I have no respect for a man who beats on a woman and then says he isn't a "monster", you're right, he is worse than a monster. Scum of the earth.

haha cause everybody here was in the limo with them and knows exactly what happened. I don't care what either of them do but let the police work and what not be delt with by the others

"all the haters"......really?
your a grown man & you hit a woman
you don't deserve respect
period

Oh Chris I am so disapointed in you...
First of all you beat up your girlfriend who you say you "love" then you can't even admit to your mistakes. (Shakes head) And to think I bought one of your cd's! Blah..Get some counseling and learn proper grammar. JERK!

Here are my thoughts about some of the comments posted.
1) "Chris's mom didn't do a good job." What about Rihanna's parents? I guess they raised her to beat up fellow human beings and sleep around with men. Did anyone see the naked Rihanna pics on the net this week? Yeah, her parents did a great job raising her.
2) And how can someone comment that he has never heard a Chris Brown song and in the same sentence, comment that he is talentless?
3)There are alot of you who are calling him uneducated, yet, alot of you have comments with misspelled words, incorrect punctuation and grammar. I know my English isn't perfect. Is yours?
4) If you don't like Chris Brown's music, then you just don't. Do we really care?
5) Contrary to what someone wrote, Chris has cross over appeal. Believe me, he didn't sell more records than Rihanna without crossing over.
6) I really believe that since O.J. was found innocent oh so many years ago, every black male who is suspected of doing something wrong will be crucified by society as payback.
7) Chris was wrong for hitting Rihanna back. He should have walked away. But if they were in a car, how would he have been able to walk away?
If he is guilty, then let him pay for his crime. I bet you one thing. Rihanna will think twice about putting her hands on anyone else again. Unless, she too has an anger problem.
9) They WERE and STILL are immature, young adults trying to act grown up.
10) I just pray for the truth to come out.

Mr. Brown you really need a reality check. You also need lots of help. An last but not least you need to go back to school. But you're right about one thing you are not a monster but a piece of trash. Shame on you. Rihanna set an example go to court,don't let this happen to another person. PLEASE!!!

I am not defending Chris Brown in any way. He obviously has some very serious issues. It is absolutely cowardly and unacceptable that he physically battered his girlfriend. And to try and minimize it with that moronic excuse "I'm not a monster" is completely asinine. However, his ebonics is part of the "artistic and entertainment" style of the video he put out. The reporter quoted it out of the context of the video piece. The real atrocity if that he put out an "entertainment" video to defend himself instead of a sincere honest apology. He is a young man, let's hope he gets some serious life changing help and he grows the hell up.

OBVIOUSLY SHE MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO PROVOKE HIM TO DO WHAT HE DID.. SOMETIMES MEN CAN BE THE VICTIM TOO .. ITS NOT AN EXCUSE BUT A REASON.. NOBODY SHOULD EVER HIT ANYONE MALE OR FEMALE.. NOW A DAYS YOU SEE WOMAN GET BRAVE AND WANT TO GET IN MENS FACES AND THE UNFORTUNANTE HAPPENS. MAYBE THESE TYPE OF WOMAN SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY DO AND CHANGE THERE BAD ADDITUDES.

In no way shape or form do I condone the allegations against Chris Brown. However, we as a public really need to stop being so judgemental. This is not the first or last domestic violence case. Unfortunately, there are many cases everyday of men (yes, I said it!)and women being abused by their partner either verbally or physically. The reality is that most people know or have known someone that has been through this traumatic experience, if they themselves have not. The Chris and Rihanna incident only brought this issue into the spotlight again and allowed many celebrity and non-celebrity woment to come forward about their abusive past or present relationships. I agree that we should allow him a chance to receive counseling to help him better himself and become a man that is respectful of women and would not raise his hand to make a point. Rehabilitation is not far fetched and should not be ruled out. Rihanna also needs to receive counseling so that she won't end up in another situation resembling this again. I am far more concerned with the punishment of people like Drew Peterson who have hidden in the shadows and murdered their supposed "loved" ones, yet seem to be getting away with it. This is more of a news topic that deserves much outrage and judgement from the public that Chris and Rihanna. In the end if she goes back to him after they have both received help resolving their issues, we should respect that and let it go.

Monsters treat women like dirt...what you "ain't" is a man.
Time for court-appointed therapy and jail.

Has anyone thought about the fact that maybe She instigated it?? Maybe she assulted him and he retaliated in self defense.. No. Because you assume all women are the victims.

to "Go Waste your time some where else" A real man and a big person would have walked away. He would have had the power to call the police and shine the light on her actions. He chose to behave like and animal and it backfired. These are the consequences you suffer for being stupid. Lock his ass up. To hell with a second chance. Sometimes you only get 1. If this was my daughter, he would have been handled. His mother should have raised him but since he's feeding his whole family they have to back the b.s.! Violence is never a solution. Own up to what you did and take responsibility. You can teach yourself how to be a man since you never had one to teach you.

Susan,
Your opinion, as well as your poor grammar, proves that you "are" the fan base Mr. Brown is addressing. Who taught you that a cowardly excuse for a man has the right to abuse anyone ... much less a woman?

At the very least he should TRY to act like a man and admit what he did is wrong and that he is remoseful and is getting the help he needs. Instead he whines about haters being haters. That doesn't even make any sense! I can't think of a dumber way to break your silence. Chump!

Chris,

You are a coward! You disrespected and abused Rihanna. Your money and fame do not give you the power or privilege to break any laws!! True fans with values will not follow you because you are no longer respected! I am no longer your fan, there is so much talent in the entertainment field that are not violent and bad influence, you blew it! Shame on you! You deserve to be ignored, this is the 21st Century and woman are less likely to tolerate abuse. Rihanna should follow Tina Turner, she left Ike Turner and still succeeded! Show repentance and humility and maybe you can recover your career.

If it was 50 cent or Marshall Mathers that had beaten their girl up would all of you people have the same reaction or is it because this chris brown guy is really a mommas boy , He is as soft as candy floss and he sings sissy pop records..

Eminem has recorded numerous violent recordings about harming some of the women in his life Yet i bet most if not all of you purchased that garbage probably rate him as the so called best and have allowed him to still have a career.

the sad truth is that domestic violence occurs in a very large amount of relationships world wide and both men and women can be the aggressor. Some women do not know how to react to or treat a gentleman when one does come around these days because they actually like guys who can physically dominate them or keep them in "check".

its not fair that Chris brown didnt get jail time..
just becouse he is famus.
I hate Chris Brown.
and I hope people get theis eyes up and fire him from the records.
I hope hes not allowed to sing anymore!!!

you dont hit women Chris Brown.. YOU JUST DONT.
LOOOSER!!!!

chris dnt worry you will make it through LUV YOU!
