By now you’ve probably heard about Chris Brown’s latest emotional outburst at the BET Awards.
No, he didn’t beat anybody up this time but he did cry a lot and put on a really good show for the cameras and the audience. I don’t believe for a second that his tears were genuine or that this bad boy has gone good or that MJ’s song Man in the Mirror touched him so deeply at that exact moment that he couldn’t do anything other than cry. I will admit that an epiphany can occur at the most inauspicious time hell, I’ve had one break through moment while shopping for toilet paper at the grocery store!
Unfortunately I don’t believe that the 2010 BET Awards was one of those times for Mr.Chris Brown. Dude, knew that a lot of people would be watching and he wants his career back and he’s willing to do anything even cry to get it back..do I begrudge him that? No. He wants redemption and he should try everything he possible can to achieve it but we, the public, shouldn’t forget all the crying Rihanna probably did after Chris Brown smashed her face in and welcome Chris Brown back into our open arms. Forgive him if you can but in my book they are some mistakes you should pay a lifetime for and beating up your partner is one of them. I know I can’t forgive him but then again I’ve never claimed to be a forgive and forget kinda gal.
But Chris Brown does deserve an award for one of the best performances of the evening tears included.
Chris Brown has finally publicly apologized for beating up Rihanna.
In anew apology video Brownis seeking and asking for the public’s forgiveness and states that he has wanted to apologize for months but was advised not too by his attorney.
In a two minute statement Brown says, “I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses..and what I did was inexcusable. I’m very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done.”
In the end Brown tires to reassure us that he would never beat up another woman and that he wants to work to regain the title of role model. After the Rihanna incident, the title role model may remain elusive but I do hope for his sake and the sake of his future relationships, that he can earn the title of a recovered batterer.
