What isn't being mentioned here is Rihanna's own violence from that night. She initiated this attack by striking him with her high heels as he was driving. Why is this jealous rage not being mentioned here? NCFM: Rihanna Needs To Come Clean About Her Violence Too! http://wadvpress.org/?p=416 This needs to be debated. WADVPress http://wadvpress.org

The whole situation is a shame. Whenever something like this happens in the public spotlight with stars, people seem to forget how common this experience is. It happens every day to many, many people. The problem Chris has is that he was sold as a clean image. He was in opposition to the African American stereotype of the "thug". He was cool without any of the negatives. This experience destroyed this image, fairly or not. I'm sure both people in the situation were to blame. That is the way it always is. Perhaps Chris could have took steps to calm down. Perhaps Rihanna or Chris could have backed off and seen this coming and diffused the situation. But all that is irrelevant now. It happened. In my opinion, Chris did the right thing almost the entire time. You couldn't have asked for better. Although he fled at first (can you blame him?), he did turn himself in, admitted everything that was not a personal affair publicly, and plead guilty for a crime that he knew he had committed. If only all guilty people could do the same! It took uncommon bravery to do what he did, and that SHOULD bring him great credit with the public.

Chris Brown DID give interviews BUT did NOT provide details. Largely because they would have included details which would have incriminated her whom he did love. If he bit her finger that means that she WAS indeed fighting him or else he would not have been able to bite them. In addition, if she was in the headlock her hands would have been under his arms trying to remove it from around her neck (it is survival). Her "details" are filled with lies and half truths. The only thing that she truthfully stated was that she "resented Chris Brown". Also, if she had her fans in mind at all her new album would not be called "russian roulette" nor would it be "R" rated. Whilst, Chris Brown has already stated that his actions were regretful and wrong, Rihanna has refused to acknowledge what she did and remains in denial about her own abusive ways. I have never had jealousy issues in a relationship nor have I ever wanted to make a man love me. He either wants this or that; He is free to leave so long as he never wants to come back. Rihanna needs to get a reality check AND some counseling so that she doesn't carry her jealous, vengeful, scrapping ways into the next one. NOBODY wants to be hit in a relationship. NOT the MAN; NOT the WOMAN. I don't blame her for being beaten. I blame BOTH of them for not know that it was wrong to HIT EACH OTHER after seeing0 it in the lives of their parents. I only APPLAUD CHRIS BROWN for acknowledging the truth and accepting responsibility. WHAT ELSE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT? It is the VERY thing that Rihanna has not done! Thanks for telling the truth Chris Brown.

keep your head up chris, rihanna admit that there are two sides to every problem and admit the part you played in it. or are you scared to start losing endorsement deals like chris if you do, or are you scared that you will be looked at differently and be bashed like chris if you do? or have your career shifted if you do? is that why you only owned up to not letting the txt message go? while chris is not only owning up to his mistakes, still not pointing the finger like it is your fault, respecting your wishes, and fighting to keep his career from nose diving. i am sure there is more to the story and you just aren;t telling or should i say admitting to exactly what happened or has been happening to lead up to that point. be a woman own up he did. as far as the interview with Chris Brown that sway did very nice and respectable it was. but how about you reporters grow enough balls to have a rihanna interview and ask her all the right questions to get her to open up and tell the whole truth. speak to her people if you have to ( the ones who claim they were there) talk about her anger problems and her jealousy and her obsessiveness that she admitted to having on diane sawyer? dig deeper ask questions that will attack her character cause i know she isn;t innocent and that is the role she seems to play in all her interviews. and she tends to go back to her bloodied face. Everyone has attacked Chris enough and what people forget is that he is human no matter famous or not he is still human and so is ri ri. He is also only one part of a problem that involves two people where are all the interview on the second person involved? if you are going to keep talking about it why not put her on blast and leave chris be? domestic violence is wrong no matter where it comes from but how about when you are talking about how many women are in DV situations you also read the statistics for how many men suffer at the hands of women?? i don;t believe you have done that or anybody has. it is about taking responsibility for your action and i think chris has proved that he can do that, it is about time you leave him alone and put rihanna on blast if she can handle it?????

This was hard for me because I was in an abusive relationship. I was in shock when I heard it. I am still going through emotional changes about it. However, I am happy that Chris is taking the necessary steps to improve himself and striving not to make the same mistake.

I think it was a respectful interview with Chris without condoning any of his behavior. I definitely feel he has a long road ahead ...probably longer than sometimes he may realize. This experience…if he allows it WILL make him a better person. The ole Proverb is true…you do reap what you sow. Many attach that with consequences for bad actions but the opposite is true as well. All the good Chris has done in the past as well as what he continues to do is NOT erasable and does NOT go unnoticed. So he can continue to be proud of himself for that. I hope he and Rihanna can come to a place where they are able to look back at their relationship and smile from the happiness and passion they shared and become better people from the immaturity and negativity they both participated in. Chris’s lesson? I think understanding the power he as a man holds can be more productive when he uses self-control. Rihanna’s lesson? Patience, probably with herself and her expectations of others. They are beautiful young people and I wish them the best!!
