More than a week after the alleged altercation between Rihanna and Chris Brown, he has come out with the first public announcement about the situation.
The alleged altercation had taken place shortly after midnight on February 8. Police were called to a dispute in Los Angeles' Hancock Park neighbourhood, where a couple had been fighting in a rented Lamborghini. The female victim identified in numerous reports as Rihanna received hospital treatment for her injuries. Chris voluntarily surrendered himself to police later that day. He was then released on $50,000 bail and will appear in court on 5 March if authorities press formal charges.
But in his statement he has neither confirmed nor denied any reports; "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counselling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."
