By Jonathan Blake
BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, New York

Chris Brown has publicly apologised for attacking his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

In a two-minute video on his website, the R&B star said "I thought it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry".

He says he is seeking help and wants to live his life as a role model, saying: "I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again".

Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assault after he was arrested the night before the Grammy awards in February.

In the video Chris Brown refers to his assault as "the incident" and says "I am very sad and very ashamed of what I have done".

Seated, wearing an orange shirt and apparently reading from a script, he tells viewers that he has repeatedly apologized to Rihanna.

The 20 year old calls what he did "inexcusible" and asks for forgiveness from his fans.

Performance cancelled

Brown was arrested hours after he fought with his then-girlfriend Rihanna in a rented sports car after a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles.

Police records claim he tried to push the 21-year-old singer from the car and repeatedly hit her and choked her.

The pair had been due to perform at the Grammy awards but the appearance was cancelled.

In part of the video Chris Brown talks about growing up in a home where there was domestic violence.

"I saw first hand what uncontrolled rage can do," he says.

Acknowledging that he has "let a lot of people down" Brown tells how he has "done a lot of soul searching".

"I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again."

Since the attack Chris Brown has lost sponsorship deals, had his songs dropped by radio stations and faced criticism from other artists.

At the end of the video he says "I intend to live my life so that I am truly worthy of the term ‘role model’.

Chris Brown is expected to serve five years probation and perform six months of community service after he is sentenced next month. </p

R&B star Chris Brown apologises to Rihanna

R&B star Chris Brown has issued a public apology for beating up his former girlfriend, singer Rihanna.

Brown said he was “truly, truly sorry”, adding that what he did was unacceptable and that he had apologised to his victim “countless” times.

He is due to be sentenced on 5 August having pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna just hours before the pair were due to perform at the Grammy Awards in February.

The attack left Rihanna with heavy bruising and a “mouthful of blood” according to police reports. But Brown is expected to avoid jail when he is sentenced, with a recommendation of six months of community service and probation. Brown was arrested on 8 February, hours after a party in Los Angeles.

According to an affidavit filed by an LA detective, the attack happened in a car when the Umbrella singer checked Brown’s mobile phone and found a text message from another woman.

Detective De Shon Andrews wrote that Brown attempted to push Rihanna out of the vehicle before punching her repeatedly. He also bit her ear, the affidavit stated. He then allegedly threatened to kill her when she pretended to phone her assistant to get police help.

Brown is also alleged to have tried to choke Rihanna.

Following the attack, pictures showing Rihanna’s beaten and swollen face were leaked on to the internet. It led to a spectacular fall from grace for Brown, who had been noted for his clean-cut image.

During a two-minute video on his website, the singer said his lawyer had advised him not to comment on the issue, but he felt compelled to apologise directly to fans.

He said: “I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can’t. I have told Rihanna countless times and I am telling you today that I am truly, truly sorry. What I did was unacceptable – 100%. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me.”

Brown added: “I have let a lot of people down I realise that. Nobody is more disappointed in me than I am.”
