Chris Brown
has issued a statement explaining that an advance clip of his interview with Larry King, set to air on Wednesday night on CNN, has been taken out of context; he does, in fact, remember the domestic assault with pop star
Rihanna that led to him pleading guilty to assault earlier this year.
On Monday, CNN released clips on Brown’s interview on Larry King Live, in which the host can be heard asking Brown, “Do you remember doing it?” referring to the beating of his former girlfriend in the early hours of February 8, to which the crooner Brown is heard in the clip replying, “No.”
Early Tuesday, Brown stepped forward to clarify his remarks.
“There have been reports on the Internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight. That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one-hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times — and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said,” Brown says.
“The first four times — or how ever many times it was — I gave the same answer — which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time — or whatever it was — I just misspoke. I was asked, “Do you remember doing it?” and I said, ‘No,’” the statement reads.
“Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can’t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is…like anything I have ever done before,” he continues.
“As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can’t. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future. ”
He adds, “I feel like there’s no need to make any excuses. At all. I want to find out what really transpired as far as me that night. I just want to talk to [the counselor], someone who has dealt with this and has an expertise because I think it would be helpful for me to learn how to channel [the anger] and understand my feelings.”
Chris Brown’s Larry King Live interview airs in Wednesday night at 9 PM on CNN.
