CHRIS BROWN STILL LOVES RIHANNA


By Liz Hodgson - Posted on 02 September 2009

Singer Chris Brown has revealed he still loves Rihanna, six months after he beat her up.
And he has denied saying he could not remember the incident in which he left her with a bruised face and bloody lip.
Brown, 20, spoke out after a 30-second segment of an interview with talk show host Larry King was released in which he was asked if her remembered it and he said “no”.
But in a detailed statement to People magazine he said he “misspoke” and that his interview had been manipulated.
“There have been reports on the Internet that I didn't remember what happened that night with Rihanna,” he said. “I want to try and set things straight.
“That 30 seconds of the interview that they used of me was taken from a one-hour interview during which that same question was asked something like four or five times – and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.
“The first four times – or however 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.'
He went on: “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, nor is what happened like anything I have ever done before.
“As I have said several time 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.”
Last week Brown was sentenced to five years probation and six months community service after pleading guilty to felony assault.
He must also do a year-long domestic violence programme and stay at least 100 yards from Rihanna, 21, for five years.
In a separate interview Brown told People he is still in love with his ex.,
“I never fell out of love with her,” he said. “That just wouldn't go away.”
And he said that after the assault: I was distraught. I went to my mom on the same night and told her what happened and broke down.”
Rihanna has been in touch with Brown's mother, Joyce Hawkins, whom she calls 'Mom'.
Hawkins said: “I let her know that I was very, very baffled, what had happened, and apologised for my son, along with I'm so sorry what happened to you.
“And I didn't know what – I didn't know what else to say, and I gave her a hug and she hugged me as well.”
