Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to felony assault (and given five years’ of probation as a result) and apologized to Rihanna personally (multiple times, says he).

He’s even professed regret in a YouTube video for the world to see.

But the disgraced R&B star still had something to say, because he sat down with Larry King on Wednesday at CNN’s Hollywood headquarters for his first interview since his arrest for beating Rihanna senseless on the eve of the Grammys.

Brown’s mother Joyce Hawkins was also there, as well as attorney Mark Geragos. A source says Brown’s mom got very emotional and cried during the interview.

Chris Brown’s interview will air Wednesday, September 2.

According to reports, the no-holds-barred chat featured Brown answering each and every question put to him. We don’t know yet what exactly was asked.

One can assume, though, that the star’s probation report, which indicated he got rough with Rihanna twice before the now-infamous assault, was a topic.

Brown was formally sentenced yesterday this week to five years’ probation, 52 weeks of domestic-violence counseling and 180 days of community labor.

He will complete that in his home state of Virginia.
