Chris Brown: ‘Rihanna Assault is a Private Matter’

Chris BrownCHRIS Brown isn’t too happy that Rihanna’s speaking out about her beating.

The Run It hitmaker — who left the Umbrella singer battered and bruised earlier this year — says details of the altercation should remain private.

“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us,” Brown said in a statement to MTV.

“I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions.

“At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”

In a 20/20 interview that aired Friday, Rihanna said Brown was “blank” and “blacked out” during the assault.

“It wasn’t the same person that says I love you. It was not those … eyes,” she said. “He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank… He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.”
