LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Chris Brown is speaking out after ex-girlfriend Rihanna's explosive interview with Diane Sawyer for "Good Morning America" and "20/20."
"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," the singer said in a statement to MTV News. "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."

In her interview, which aired in full on Friday, Rihanna discussed in detail her assault by Chris, telling Diane, "He had no soul in his eyes, just blank."
"I was battered. I was bleeding. I was swollen in my face," she continued. "There's nothing you can do or say to make somebody do that to you. That's just on them."

However, Rihanna said she still cared for Chris, and wished him the best.
"I'm concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career and have a great life, and grow up," she said.

MS MSpeaks a lot for Chris maintain his silence of privacy. They both know the true facts. There is a more educational learning way to show their fans how not to do what they did. The time for pointing fingers is over with. Seems Rihanna is milking the situation (I hear she has a new cd coming out). Make UR FANS proud Rihanna tell them how U coped, what self esteem classes U took, what U learned.report abuseposted November 10, 2009 6:57 PM PST

MS MThey should speak out together & tell their fans "Although we are no longer involved romantically, we remain friends & wish each other well. This sad situation snowballed out of control so fast. We are here now, together, to share what we have learned" Life is about learning & mistakes are part of it but it is the SOLUTIONS we apply that matter.
