Official Chris Brown Statement: Seeking Counseling, Apology

Still don't want to get too deep into this without all the facts coming out, but I'm not sure going to family and friends really counts as "counseling"? That's kinda like saying "I just checked into rehab, at my cousin's house."

Chris Brown’s publicist Michael Sitrick has finally released a statement from Brown, in relation to the alleged incident that occurred Feb. 8 between Brown and his girlfriend, R&B star Rihanna.

Brown has hired PR firm Sitrick And Company, Inc. who specializes in crises management, to issue the statement, where Brown says that he is "sorry and saddened" by what occurred and that he is seeking counseling from family and friends.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired," the statement from the 19-year-old R&B star read. "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. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. 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."

Also note, Chris Brown doesn't take any responsibility or admit to doing anything, he talks about things that "transpired,/i>" not anything he did. But again, not drawing any particular conclusions at this point.
