Chris Brown has officially apologized for assaulting his former girlfriend, Rihanna. Brown was convicted of assault and making criminal threats after pleading guilty to the February 8 attack. Brown officially apologized to Rihanna as well as the public through a YouTube video. Brown said the following about how the ordeal has changed him:
"I think just being -- I would say ridiculed, but just criticized and -- and scrutinized by a lot of people. And just being able to see who I am as a person, it just shaped me to be a more stronger and -- better young, black male," (via ABC News)
Chris Brown may be apologizing, but the fact of his action still remains. In light of what he did, it seems much more likely that public scrutiny is what caused his apology as opposed to genuine sincerity. So what is the message that role-model Chris Brown is trying to convey? That we are responsible only for what the tabloids write about… nice try Mr. Brown.
