Blogxilla,

This interview is not just for the ladies, it's very instructive for the boys / men. It's probably the best Chris Brown interview I've seen to date. He seems to understand a bit more now than before.

I just wish that he would accept that although he and Rihanna were both trapped in a cycle of abuse from a childhood they didn't create for themselves, the fact is, he cannot tell her how to heal from the vicious beating he gave her. You can't reap all the benefits from being famous and yet not want to deal with the negative aspects as well, esp. when you put your love on front street.

Rihanna was in a daze she's just now coming out of; and although they were both present, they had different experiences and she is entitled to HER way of healing, which includes telling her story. I mean, come on...

Anyway, they both are in need of deep counseling (and I don't mean that in a negative way, they were both victims of domestic violence and trapped in a cycle of abuse by their parents) and I wish them the best.

I absolutely abhor men who hit women, but I do believe he was pushed too far - being controlled & manipulated by TWO older women

While it sucks that this situation is so public it can actually serve as a benefit to him in that the spotlight forces him to get help whereas if this situation had remained behind closed doors he would be less likely to get help

He's young and inexperienced which makes him malleable - he can turn this around if he takes it seriously enough and gets the help he needs - hopefully he'll have people in his corner who will focus on that instead of focusing on who can score more points with the public

I'm sick of people who suggest that he should sit down somewhere out of the spotlight. This is his profession, what he does for a living. If he's not fit to entertain because of what he did, is he fit to drop our fries or hold the pickles on our double cheeseburger??? What would we have him do to continue to support himself (and his family) if we take away his ability to practice his craft? SMDH

Not gonna watch the interview but I may buy his album, just because
