> In a statement to MTV, Chris Brown said, "While I respect Rihanna's
> right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my
> position that all of the details should remain a private matter
> between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best."

> "I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for
> my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about
> me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar
> situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is
> always wrong. The rest I leave it to God."

> Chris Brown also told MTV correspondent Sway there was nothing that
> could be said by his former girlfriend that would make him nervous.

> Hmph. That's probably because she's already said everything that would
> make him nervous. Furthermore, while we realize Chris Brown has to
> attempt to rehab his image after beating his girlfriend all to hell,
> keeping the details of domestic abuse "private" or quiet or between
> the two parties involved is exactly NOT what victims should be doing.
> Domestic violence should be reported and we don't think Chris Brown's
> best move right now is to say that abuse is something that should
> remain "private."
