(hmmm…..)
I am definitely going to be watching this Larry King interview tomorrow. But I hope all of Chris Brown’s responses are not this wishy washy.
UPDATE: Necole has more details about tomorrow’s sit-down…including Chris saying that he still loves Rihanna. Oh boy.
UPDATE 2: Chris Brown has released a statement about the clip posted above. He says that the clip was taken out of context and that he does remember the night of the domestic assault on Rihanna.
“There have been reports on the internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.
That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times — and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.
The first four times – or how ever many times it was – I gave the same answer — which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, “Do you remember doing it?” and I said, “No.”
Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can’t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.
As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can’t. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future.”

Lmao wth u mean u dnt remember he sounds like someone that got drunk and slept with someone. Thats the weakest answer I’ve ever heard ….did they even prepare him for this interview?

Lock this fool up in prison where he belongs, that’ll make him remember. Loser.

didnt you used to have to like, write a book or, contribute to society and human output somehow before you got invited to larry king? i could be wrong.
August 31st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
I GUESS HE’S SAYING IN THE END HE CAN’T BELIEVE HE DID WHAT HE DID…CHRIS IS YOUNG…YOUNG AND MADE A BIG STUPID MISTAKE
I WANT TO FORGIVE HIM AND SO I AM
AND I BELIEVE HE STILL LOVE RIH RIH…AND SHE STILL LOVES HIM. THEY NEED TO LEAVE EACH OTHER ALONE THOUGH…ITS FOR THE BEST

this fool needs to shut up.and that bow tie is ridiculous
August 31st, 2009 at 12:58 pm
nigga shut up….
August 31st, 2009 at 1:10 pm
I dont want to attack the victim LORD KNOWS THATS NOT WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO!
But….
Since this happened all I have heard from several people that sexy Rh-Rh might have thin lined herself(movie ref).. A lot of folk that are in the business said she wasn’t wrapped too tight… Now with that being said..
Chris coped out took the charge so he did it or wanted to avoid an ugly trial… I dont blame him for trying to save face but how much of it really didn’t happen? Sounds to me like they are saying she made this all up cracked her own head..
Believe none of what you hear and even less of what you see..
God Bless them both.. ready for this to end already!

here’s what’s up on the cnn site
http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/08/31/chris.brown.interview/index.html
so many people will be watching this.
August 31st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I’ma keep it 100%… He is THE WORST TYPE OF MINORITY MALE!!! Straight up and down… there is no such thing.. as “I don’t recall” Stand the fuck up as a MAN… he is reinforcing the sterotypes, he is suppose to represent so many people and this is what he does… I mean I don’t follow celeb. coonery but come the fuck on now… we are living in a time where we NEED to be acountable for our actions… this is a sorry excuse for a human being… This shows he must have done this before… I’m done… fuck it…
August 31st, 2009 at 3:58 pm
You know. These stars pay top dollar for P.R. reps, and they do a terrible job. It’s not like Larry King is throwing hardball questions at dude. And who dressed this guy. The bow tie is only flava if you getting drafted into the NBA, or in a Andre 3000 video.
August 31st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Wow…he doesnt recall??? Honestly…I think he’s just trying to protect himself and Rihanna. I think theres a few reasons he isnt talking, but I want to hear more.

yea its only 30 secs of it
but still why the hell wud ya ass go on the show
if youre not gonna talk about what happened the night u fucked her up
4real
thats the only reason they want u on the show
August 31st, 2009 at 8:15 pm
This interview is not a good luck so far but I’ll have to see the whole thing to really judge. We really won’t know how the people do until his next album comes out. It will be interesting to see if radio stations will ban him like they did Janet Jackson after the super bowl incident (We know Hot 97 won’t.) and what networks and shows will let him perform (MTV, BET, Good Morning America, Today etc.) without fear of a backlash. It’s a tightrope act really. He wasn’t big enough of a star for people to move on (like Michael, Britney) and even still they shut down big ones (Janet).
August 31st, 2009 at 8:16 pm
This fool said “like” ten times, “i dunn..” twenty times, and “i’m like..” thirty times in the course of 34 seconds. GO TO SCHOOL NEGRO. And what the hell is so interesting on that damn table?!?! He keeps looking down there! Sign of a LIAR. Look Larry in the eye while you make your excuses, you bastard. His mama should be ashamed to show her face, boy does she has a pair of balls on her!
August 31st, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Why are people still so pressed about this? Rihanna is drinking fine wine with Beyonce’s Lacefront Brusher and shooting spreads for Italian Vogue. Clearly, she’s moving on AND SHE’S THE ONE WHO GOT HER ASS WHOOPED! Why can’t everyone else get over it?! Can we start worrying about the women in our own communities who are being abused and are broke and hospitalized. They could probably use the attention rather than these kids!

good point as always, Fury….and extra credit for the flourish lol
August 31st, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I am so glad Miss Info posted CBs new statement clearing things up. I told everybody all day that I didnt think that was the entire clip and that it does not do him or Rihanna any good to discuss what happened that night in the car. So all you nailing him to the cross again need to be glad God never nailed you for your SINS! So he does remember BUT out of respect for her he isnt going to go into the details.
August 31st, 2009 at 10:20 pm
its tru cris aint goin into details he dont want people in his bizzness even doe he noes da truth if he was 2 say it people will really crucify him. and say oh so rihanna is crazy now? your blamin it on her
August 31st, 2009 at 10:34 pm
wait u no wat cris wasnt thinkin in da interview it happend 2 mi b4 he was chokin
August 31st, 2009 at 10:52 pm
True story!!!
August 31st, 2009 at 11:31 pm
@Miss Info…thanks for placing this statement on your site and updating the ppl..CNN was wrong for placing this small clip that caused such a uproar today….they only care about the ratings…but I hope this shows Chris to shut up about it and move on and focus on your future…these interviews will not change anything and like someone said earlier if he’s not going to be a least semi-detailed what happenend don’t waste your time focus on the music and God be them both…I do believe that Chris will come back from this but he needs to lay low for about a year or so and than easy back out there….I also believe ppl in the industry knows the deal and still don’t mine working with Chris which is a good thing…
September 1st, 2009 at 2:10 am
look at his new statement now. he was aksed the same question mutliple times and his lawyer must have prepared him before the interview because he stuck to the script…but he slipped up and told the truth of what he felt, and yet people are still slinging it at this kid. the fact of the matter is his new statement isn’t that much different from what he’s already said. i want this kid to shut up and prove himself and own his actions and punishment like how he’s saying and be a role model. it’s easy to make absolute promises like i’m never going to be like this this that, and then you do it and break the promise. this kid sounds guilty and the way he’s acting just screams for some counselling. i don’t understand him though because trying to learn how to understand yourself and your emotions is something necessary. he’s saying no one teaches you x x & x, which is true but this is no time for excuses. so he’s aplogized many many many times. i don’t really care about that. i’m all about actions so i want him to prove himself. goodluck to him.
and that interview wasn’t edited down enough to misconstrue what he actually said. i’m sure people took what cnn posted on their website and ran with it without getting any context at all…but i’m not going to blame the media for my thoughts.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:11 am
lol. yeah. but i think it’s also to get the lawyer and the moms talking too.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:12 am
i don’t understand why janet got banned.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:13 am
lmfao. did you really count?
September 1st, 2009 at 2:15 am
lol. good comment but you’re assuming that “out of respect for her he’s not going into the details”…what if it was out of respect for being human and understanding what happened…or more like my lawyer told me i can say this this this and not that because we are trying ever so hard to save face in the public and keep my career from deflating. they shouldn’t try so hard. chris brown fans have already signed up for life. they are amazing people.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:18 am
cnn does this all the time. it’s nothing new. they’ve already fallen so much i doubt they care. i’m sure they got a lot of clicks and eyeballs today and that’s what they care about.
the kid needs to shut up and start prving himself and owning his actions like how he’s preaching.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:26 pm
true indeed. Everyone that commented before the update sounded like they wanted to crucify Chris Brown. Talk about being reprogrammed by a 30 sec edited clip….wow!
And they say, “the media is just entertainment, it doesn’t have an influence on peoples actions/reactions”
This is a perfect example of how fans and the media can build you up just so they can knock you down.
My prediction, this won’t be the last time Rhianna is caught up in another “DomV” situation. Everyone is so focused on Chris Brown needing help, when everyone should really be focusing on why did it happen in the first place and what role did Rhianna truly play. No one in their right mind can say Rhianna comes off as being a passive woman.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:31 pm
lol cb stans are in here deep especially mertz hes a women beater end of story
The only folks saying rihanna hit him are his stans.
Stop assuming and insinuating that she did something unless theres evidence.
and there isnt any so stfu
Who would take a felony charge to protect someone? No one
He did it so stop the bullshit excuses.
