Chris Brown has apologized for beating the living daylights out of pop singer Rihanna, in a new video that has just surfaced.

He says:

Hi, I’m Chris Brown. Since February my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though ever since the incident, I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. Although I will do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I felt it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry. I have tried to live my life in a way which that could make those around me, proud of me and until recently, I think I was doing a pretty good job.

I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again. But unfortunately I can’t. I cannot go into what happened and most importantly, I’m not gonna sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self control and what I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done. My mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that. I have told Rihanna countless times and I’m telling you today that I’m truly, truly sorry and that I wasn’t able to handle the situation both differently and better.

I recognize that I’ve truly been blessed. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family, wonderful friends and fans. God has been generous in giving me the ability, which has brought me fame and fortune. I have done a lot of soul searching over the past several months. I’ve talked with my minister and my mother and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand what happened and why. I have let a lot of people down and I realize that. And no one is more disappointed in me than I am.

As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence. And I saw first-hand what uncontrolled rage can do. I’ve sought and continue to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again.

And as I sit here today, I can tell you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again. And I promise that. What I did was unacceptable, one hundred percent. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me please. I hope that others learn from my mistake. I intend to live my life so that I’m truly worthy of the term role model. Thank you.
