Chris Brown: The Interview with MTV NEWS Video + His Response to Rihanna’s 20/20 Interview
Nov 6th
Each year over one million young women are victims of domestic violence. Chris Brown sat down with Sway and MTV News on Monday in an interview to discuss how Chris has changed since the February incident with Rihanna. Another attempt from CB’s camp to do damage control to counter act Rihanna’s side of the story which aired tonight on 20/20.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
Chris refused to give his account of the incident with Rihanna and released this statement in response to the previews of her 20/20 interview:
Sphere: Related ContentWhile I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of Feb. 8th 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 To Speak, Again: “Chris Brown: The Interview” on MTV
Nov 5th
I’m not sure what to think of Chris Brown’s a.k.a. Crazy Eyes latest move. Is it Utterly Frustrating or Strangely Ironic that on the same night of Rihanna’s 20/20 interview Chris Brown has scheduled yet another interview (He has previously talked to Larry King, Angie Martinez) with MTV? The latest interview is set to air tomorrow night at 6pm on MTV, conveniently 4 hours before Rihanna’s airs at 10p.m. on ABC.
Seriously? The way I see it Chris had his turn to speak and now with all the media attention given to Rihanna’s revealing and exclusive interview now he wants yet ANOTHER chance to speak about “that night”. In the illustrious words of–well, myself–I can’t. I cannot. I refuse to believe this was a sincere effort at letting fans know what happen and about CB’s progress since the incident. Rather, his people that are #failures at strengthening his tattered image and are using this MTV interview as an opportunity to get his word out before hers.
I can’t.
I cannot.
I refuse.

Nov 5th
After months of silence, Rihanna is finally deciding to speak out about her involvement with Chris Brown and the night before the Grammy’s when Chris assaulted her. Good Morning America, previewed Rihanna’s “20/20″ interview that will air this Friday, Nov. 6. at 10 p.m. E.T. Here is what aired:
Rihanna tearfully spoke about the impact her decisions have on girls that may be in similar situations:
“When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result into some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them “Go Back”. Even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say that their boyfriend won’t. Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls. And these are young girls. I just didn’t know how much of an impact I had on these girls lives until that happened. It was a wake up call for me big time especially after I took myself out of that situation. I will say that to any young girl going through domestic violence. Don’t react off of love. F love. Come out of the situation and look at it third person for what it really is and then make your decision because love is so blind.”
Amen,
