It doesn't change what happened, nor does it make it any less terrible, but a video has surfaced of a sincere Chris Brown apology to his fans and the public for the assault on Rihanna that took place back in February.
In a two-minute video, the R&B star says he is sad and ashamed of himself, and is not making any excuses for what he calls "unacceptable" behavior.
To his credit, most of Chris Brown's prepared, but classy remarks on the subject involve him needing to improve upon and repair his own character.
Brown opened the confessional by saying he wanted to publicly apologize much sooner, but held off under the advice of attorney Mark Geragos.
The singer, who pleaded guilty to assault last month, then tells his fans simply what says he's told Rihanna countless times since the incident:
"I am sorry."

I believe it was sincere... He wrote it, it probably was longer, but I'm sure his attorney edit it. Chris has done interviews in the past and is pretty intelligent. He hit it on the money, look forward to him working with different charities for domestic violence.
I've been except his apology no one is perfect, not even me and I am not famous. I have always wished him well.
Michael Phelps got a second chance, R kelly got a second chance, Bobby Brown got a second chance, know rap artist with a history of drug dealing including Jay z got a second chance, Kanye and his disrepsectful attitude and actions got a secon chance. Heck TI won an award in Jail
I've always believed this was a situation CB & Rhianna went through that escalated. CB is not woman beater and I do believe Rhianna initiated the matter. Don't make the outcome right or his actions, but no one should be putting their hands on anyone, includin Rhianna and I am a femal married with children wrong is wrong.

This was not a sincere apology, merely contrived by the labels. See what I mean:

I feel that eveyone makes mistakes. Some mistakes should not be made, but at least he trying to let everyone know that he is sorry for disrespectful and unmatured behavior. A man should never hit a woman..His mom should have taUGHT HIM THAT.hOWEVER i FEEL THAT HE IS TRYING TO CHANGE. He should have learned cus his fans are disappointed in his actions and to Chris Brown "Actions speak louder than words"

Wow.. it would of been way more sincere if he wasnt reading it off a damn cue card. Now watch he's gonna sell like 8 million albums which has a single on it about the incident...and half of the negative commenter's will buy it

I feel that everyone deserves another change. It's not up to us to judge him but pray that he gets the help he needs to change. None of us know what happened to cause the reaction. No one should put there hands on anyone in anger, male or female. Maybe they both should be going to anger management classes. He's talented and we should not hold back his career. Forgiveness is not up to us!!! God always gives us second chances.
