An apologetic Chris Brown responded to Rihanna’s “20/20” interview on Friday night (Dec. 4). He spoke about being in love for the first time, his videotaped message that caused an uproar on the Internet, domestic violence classes, and taking responsibility. He also showed off his sneaker collection to ABC News anchor Robin Roberts.
And despite her claiming otherwise, Chris says that Rihanna listened to his apology song “Changed Man” the day he wrote it and “cried when she first heard [it].”

@sarah, He dont need your forgiveness. Who the fuck are you? He was sentenced to 5 years probation (like many other young first time offenders who plead guilty). People like you have so many issues in their own life that instead of dealing with their own problems, they point out other peoples issues. Get a life.

what I dont get with this situation and what is going on with Tiger why people want to pass judgement on other, take care of the mess you have at home before you starting scrutinizing others, for me at the end of the day its all about brezzys music thats mostly what im interested in.

There is NO EXCUSE for lying at ALL in this situation and trying to mislead the public! Its NEVER okay to lie about sometjing this serious esepcially when its affecting peoples LIVES like she said.She was DEAD WRONG for lying and I have NO SYMPATHY for her. Im hear for the music. She is NO VICTIM and she is no role model. She is simply a model with a microphone!Another thing…If she could so EASILY lie about something as simple as rather or not she heard that song to protect her image just IMAGINE how much other stuff in that interview was a lie! She is a cold blodded liar and even if chris brown beat her near death its no reason to LIE about this to gain sympathy, or to gain a better image. Shes just as wrong as he is.At least Chris Brown is accepting and dealing with the fact he has a problem. Shes LYING and doing nothing but walking around taking pictures! PATHETIC!I HAVE THREE WORDS FOR YOU… “LISA LEFTEYE LOPEZ”Do you remember that? When Andre Rison beat her uo and she burned down his house? She went through a terrible domestic violence situation publically an had to go to jail, but it didnt hurt her career, it HELPED! Why? Because she was brutally honest about her problems. She told the whole truth. She didnt rehearse her interview then dress up like “Sharon Stone” and the public respected her and wished her well the group became BIGGER! Rihanna’s career is TANKING and its all KARMA because she LIED! She can keep convincing herself non-stop that what she did was right because she wants to be the face of DM and “help young girls”, but she cant help them by lying! Shes not trying to help or save anything when she lies, but her career, reputation and endorcement deals. Bottom Line…Stop lettin this chick blow smoke u yall azz!

Chris Brown Isnt Protecting Her By Keeping Quiet…
———————–
He’s keeping quiet cause there is NOTHING he can say that can fix what he did! The less he says, the better!
Let me explain..
If he did come out and say, Rihanna did this to me and that. You people are gonna get on the blogs and go.
“So it dont matter what she did, hes trying to make an excuse for beating her”
He’s in a lose-lose situation. Cause nothing at all justifys him beating her to the extint he did. So he cant say anything, but im sorry. If he said more, or anything else you people are going to pick it apart, the less the better.
Rihanna and her pr team. KNOW THAT! Thats the reason WHY they dressed her up like Sharon Stone so she could sit in their and flat out lie! You people are NOT making the connection.
Remember..
In the “Sharon Stone Film Basic Instinct” (Rihanna was mimikcking that scene in her interview, for the way she was dressed all the way down to how she was sitting in the seat!) Sharon Stone was LYING about not killing her husband. She was blufffing them, but she KNEW they couldnt prove it or stop it cause she was the widow.
Rihanna was channeling that. She was LYING about what happened between her and Chris Brown to help maintain her wholesome image. It makes HER look better to say “he blacked out and jumped on me and beat me” to make him look like a maniac and her like a complete victim with no problem.
If she would have admitted to being violent with him first, or in the past, or in past relationships it would have TAINTED her image. Chris Brown had to be the only aggressor. She wouldnt admit her part! Her people told her not to to maintain her image. She wasnt going to accept equal fault.And thats not because she cares about DM and wants to “help young girls” its cause she wants to maintain her image.
She knows chris brown cant go crazy and rebuttle like “oh…that b*tch lying, she hit me first, she gave me herpes, she did this and that, we were drunk ect ect… cause hes underaged, and he would have looked like hes trying to justify or defend himself and people woild get mad at him for that cause he cant justify what he did. AT ALL.
Rihanna and her people KNEW THAT and played that card and its DIRTY AND ROTTEN and I dont respect her. As a victim of DM, you people on here saying “i hope no one ever beats you guys” blah blah blah people are jealous of rihanna… no! I am a SURVIVOR of DM. Its serious and we need serious people!
Not liars and opportunist! Rihanna has serious problems with anger and shes a liar and a fraud and she needs to eb exposed! She doesnt not inspire, represent or speak for women like me! SHES A FRAUD and she needs to be exposed!

@Rihanna Needs To Be EXPOSED!, You took time out of your life to sit here and type ALL of that? How do you know Rihanna is lying? Were you there? Do you know how it feels to be beaten, and have the whole world talking about it? You can sit here all day and try to defend him but it isn’t going to change the situation at all.

@Giselle, LMFAooooo
You just proved my point! If you actually READ what I said you would see that you just repeated what I said!
Im NOT defending him! I said several times he was wrong! No one is defending chris for beating a woman! Thats wrong! Hes not even defedning himself! Why? Because of what you just said…It wont change the situation. All he can do is say hes sorry, Rihanna and sit back and lie to protect her image all day long, but she has to answer to a higher power for manipulating the situation and not being fair, or honest. No one is defending chris for the last time!He is wrong, he has admitted to being wrong. He has been punished and hes seeking help!
I am saying its NOT okay for for Rihanna to lie! And shes not lying to help DM. Shes lying to keep her cover girl deal and thats a lie and a fraud and it needs to be exposed!

I like Chris Brown. He’s only 20, he’s still got a lot to learn. I never ever would support physical abuse, but he is really still a kid in the end.
I hope they promote Crawl more, I think it’ll be a huge hit.

Honestly, i’m tired of hearing from both Rihanna and Chris Brown. I also find it pathetic that they both did interviews right before each had an album coming out. It’s like there both using what happened now to sell albums but neither of them were talking when they didn’t have albums to promote. I’m not “hating” on either of them, i’m just being real.

December 4th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
@Catie…
Chris Brown has done SEVERAL interviews and spoke out BEFORE he was promoting his album. He didnt just come out of nowhere and speak a week before his album dropped like Rihanna did. Big difference. Chris Brown has BEEN speaing about this for a year. Several times to the point where people are saying they are annoyed by him apologizing so much.
Rihanna is the person who went MIA and came a week before her album dropped with a rehearsed interview dressed like sharon stone in basic insticnt. Not Chris…We can at least give him that.

@Rihanna Needs To Be EXPOSED!, girl fail. rihanna’s interview was like 3 weeks before her album and she never once spoke about it. it was all about domestic abuse and helping girls
half of chris’s interview was his music video playing and promoting his new album. not to mention they moved his interview from next friday to this friday just in time for his album reelase on monday.
yeah, fail.

@rhe, but…he releassed public statements, public apologies and a larry king interview MONTHS prior to that. this is him repsonding to her interview she did RIGHT before her album dropped. Hes responding to HER. He wouldnt have this interview right before his album release if he wasnt resonding to her interview weeks before her album. prior to that rihanna said nothing and held her interview to promote her album. chris has done several interviews in several magazines all year PRIOR to his album promotion. rihanna didnt speak until she started promoting her flop.chris brown spoke several times BEFORE promotions.

He has not been talking about this for a year, the incident happened like 8 months ago, so talking about it for a year is impossible dear. Actually, he IS speaking out to promote his album. He BOMBED on the larry king interview and since then it’s been his lame attempt at damage control.
His young tweeny bopper fans love and adore him. You’re calling her out for saying she didn’t hear his song but you’re wanting everyone to forgive him for beating her?? I wonder what’s worse, her lying about not hearing his dumb song or his tweeny fans being so anxious to forgive him for beating her…..uh ok.
It kills you that she’s got her shit together more than him. He’s HORRIBLE at interviews, slurs his words, and to this day still sounds confused about what he did.

Rihanna has her sh*t together? wtf? lmfaooooo
Drunk in public all times, spreading herpes. Telling BOLD face LIES in interviews? NO! She doesnt have it together! She looks miseable everytime I see her like when she had on that red and black in the interview with sway. Its causes shes living a LIE. Anyone bold face lying like that and living with it is NOT okay. smfh Chris Brown is simply responding to her interview. People keep asking him about it cause they want him to go in detail, but he wont and he SHOULDNT!
Chris spoke MONTHS ago about this. He didnt wait a WEEK before his album dropped to speak for publicity like someone else. He HAS to speak to 20/20 now only to respond to HER! gtfoh

I dont like chris brown !! his interview is too bad humm he is really bad boy !!! maybe rihanna liar ok but its so hard for her this situation and now she never wants come back with this monster so Rihanna was really brave and courageous during her interview. We all support her. I wanted to tell you I think it’s shameful that on the twitters, the family of chris brown insults rihanna with no reason with awful videos and comments. It’s not respectful, whereas nobody did that to rihanna’s side not family and friend of rihanna insult chris brown befor so it’s not respectful for riri :( I think that it’s really shocking and humiliating. I find it normal to warn you……it’s very bad
we all believe in her, she is a great artist and she is so strong bye :D A lot of people do not have the maturity level to see how courageous she was for speaking out in her new interview. Applaud her! and yes rihanna is really more famous than chris brown but everybody said that ;)

people need to let it go , but since you can’t i guess we are back to the drawing board. so what if riri lied so dam what??? if some sucker who i even thought loved me jumped me because i would not get off his azz for cheating on me and its thesame bytch that i have been after yo butt before about and since you got caught you are going to go psyco on me beat me in my face, bang my head aganist the car window and bite my arm and hands like a dog biting on a dam bone, you bet yo sweet azz i would sing like a mocking bird and beside that cb be glad that it was riri and not some of the girls in my family because even if it was me i would have played like i was out, after the beating took my private key that i would have had made and when you took off running like a scared rabbit i would have overtaken yo azz and ran you down and riri even talked and spoke of the love she had for this fellow she even talked good about this mofo’s azz now thats something and people are the ones who was not there and they are biting riri all over the net because they loves cb funky drawers and thats cool hate on riri all you dam well please because see she know very well now that cb is a biter and a looser and he tried every trick in the book to try and give riri a bad name while this was going on and riri would have been smart to sue his azz for slander but riri is moving on with her life and every one hopes that he will do the same she has said that she will talk but she restricts any questions about cb she says she will not answere them i guess cb would have lied and said that riri caused hr own death if she had losed her life in the hulk aganist princess riri. cb needs to work on his career and stop trying to go behind riri to gma to talk why haven’t riri went on larry king??? riri is on about her business and she is happy to have her life back and psyco brown had better learn how to “”LIVE HIS LIFE”" and he have got a chance but let him keep yapping and flapping his gums and LET HIM KEEP SENDING HIS GANG OF SLIME THROWER AT RIRI BECAUSE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND SLANDER IS A CRIME ALSO CB AND THE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU AND RIRI!!!!leave riri along you have kicked rihanna fenty enough let it go!!!!!

December 7th, 2009 at 8:30 am
It’s so obvious that Rihanna just said she didn’t hear it cause she was trying to save face. She was just trying to act like she doesn’t think about him at all.
I mean what reason would he have to lie!? I believe she was the first person he let hear the song and she probably did cry. It’s not even that big a deal any way. It’s normal for someone to get emotional hearing a song about them.
[Reply]
December 9th, 2009 at 9:15 am
CB is a kid that made a mistake, get over it b/c we all do things that we may one day regret. Just b/c he hit her DOESN’T MAKE HIM A LIAR, however, Rhianna saying that she did not hear the song, when she clearly did DOES MAKE HER A LIAR. Again, if she would like lie about something as simple as such, who knows what else she has lied about. No one was there but those two and no can say what happened but those two, but when you look at it, CB did come right out admit to it, apologize for it, and take the consequences. Celebs have personal problems, but their only obligation to the public is to do their jobs which is entertain us. I have NEVER been a fan of either, but I recognize true talent when I see. Chris is truely a gifted young man who deserves to be in this game, Rhianna…not so much, well, actually, not at all. The dude made his mistake, repented, and suffered the consequences…IT’S OVER.
BTW, If you’re tired of it, just stop watching the interviews, reading the blogs about it and STOP commenting. If you turn away then you won’t even care that it’s there. Good Day People

First of all whoever said that rihanna is more famous than chris brown is a lie!! I don’t know where you get that from but anyway I agree they are 2 people. If it was someone that wasn’t famous it will not b that big of a deal. True she got on that interview and lied. To be honest, i didn’t believe everything she said. first of all, they are famous, everything is out especially this incident what i mean by that is how could she not hear that song and it was out all over the world lol she’s a liar and she was saying stuff and in the interview on 20/20 she said he had so much to lose. who was she talking about herself? I hope not because she really isn’t all that lol I really believe she did something to provoke him. It still doesn’t make it right, but I’m pretty sure that she didn’t just say a couple of words and he beat her up like that lol maybe she deserved it but I’m not defending him either and I’m not saying that its right either but she’s the one who walks around smiling and stuff and she really is the one who is trying to act all innocent and she did use that interview to sell albums so people can feel sorry for her well I don’t feel sorry for her at all! lmao He came out with plenty of interviews b4 she did. Of course everyone wants to know the juicy details. He doesn’t have to explain anything that he doesn’t want to. He probably wants to badly but legal party probably doesn’t want him to speak out. It doesn’t matter though but the only way I would feel sorry for her is if he did it 4 no reason at all
