Chris Brown's Half-Hearted "My Bad"

Feb. 15 2009, Published 12:48 p.m. ET
One week to the day after singer <a href="https://okmagazine.com/search/brown" target="_blank"><strong>Chris Brown</strong></a> was arrested for an alleged attack on his girlfriend <a href="https://okmagazine.com/search/rihanna" target="_blank"><strong>Rihanna</strong></a>, the 19-year-old finally came out from under whatever rock he was hiding to issue an apology of sorts.
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired," reads the statement released through Brown's rep. "I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person."
And while it may have been good for most people to just leave it at that, Chris — who doesn't exactly admit any guilt or explain his side of the events — goes on to defend himself against unspecified rumors and reports.
"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong," he claims. "While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."
