CNN finally aired their big Larry King/Chris Brown interview on Wednesday night and let’s just say it left a lot to be desired. If you follow CONCRETELOOP on Twitter than you probably caught us re-tweeting all your comments about the interview last night.
The main cohesive question of the night was “Where was Chris Brown’s media trainer at when they prepped for this interview?” Here are a few recaps we tweeted about while watching the interview:
During the interview, Chris says he doesn’t remember the incident. But he released a statement earlier this week dismissing the claim.
Larry asked why it took 8 hours to turn himself in. Chris says he went to speak to his mother and made sure everything was right-he was scared
Chris says he knows he screwed up and it crosses his mind everyday.
Larry King: “Why do you think you were violent?” Chris Brown: “Just in relationships in general there is a chance you lose your temper..We’re young. No one taught us how 2 love each other, or how to control our emotions. There is a lot of stuff I wish I could change.”
Chris says he feels like he owes it to Rihanna not to talk about the incident during this interview.
LARRY KING just asked if drinking was involved and Chris was persistent about not talking about that night.
Chris Brown says he loves and is still in love with Rihanna and could see himself spending a lifetime with Rihanna..
Chris Brown says it’s hard not being able to contact/see Rihanna.
Chris compared his relationship with Rihanna to Romeo and Juliet.
Chris’ mom says Rihanna has no animosity towards her and still calls her “MOM”…
Chris’ mother Joyce is fighting back tears as Chris talks about the abuse he witnessed growing up.
Chris Brown says he believes the sentencing was FAIR
Chris admitted he got help for the apology video, but says the words came from his heart.
Chris Brown: “Me being 20, I’m not a man fully yet, I don’t know everything..”
i love you chris
The entire interview was a waste of time. No one learned anything new. Chris Brown seemed the least bit remorseful. Next……
#chrisbrownsbowtie has twitter poppin, lmao!
Oh and I want to say that Chris is a piece of shit, I didn’t believe a word that came out of his mouth. The whole thing was so fake, and them having his mom and his lawyer up their with him made it even more fake. I bet his mom and lawyer won’t be there when he’s trying to promote that new album. Both him and Rihanna are crazy, he’s crazy for doing it and acting like its whatever and Rihanna is crazy for still talking to him.
i really wish he didnt say he still loved rihanna and he could see himself with her…it just makes him too desperate
ill still support chris music wise
I watched it he looked so sad…people need to just leave him alone, and he needs to leave that heffa alone before he ends up getting in trouble, I always say if no one raises their hands or voices then there wouldn’t be no incidents happening, it’s not ALWAYS the case but in their case it is…there are past reports about her being violent against him as well, and she was mad clingy, I met him and her at his party last year in NY and she was acting mad stuck up and he was a sweetheart…I’m not even a fan of her’s I like some of her songs because the writers wrote them to be catchy but her as a person….no bueno….I don’t do arrogant people…I feel like you should show your apprectiation to the people who got you to where you are,and she straight ignored her fans that were saying they loved her….she, oddly enough, spoke to me tho…lol…smh…I AM NOT A HATER BEFORE ANYONE STARTS WITH THAT B.S. I just call it how I see it, I LOVE to see black people being successful, so that’s not an issue…but anyhow, everyone be blessed!
he’s only human people make mistakes he’s learning but i still don’t like his music but he can dance
I respect the fact that he didnt go into to detail about what happen that night, that is none of our business. He continues to take full responsibility for his actions that night. So he should be forgiven and he should be able to move on with his life.
the topic of domestic violence is not funny, not funny at all…yet the majority of that interview was pure comedy. Like dude said wow a million times. He had his lawyer step in a few times where he was about to sh*t on himself…and lol @ his mother saying Rihanna still calls her “MOM” really though? No hard feelings? I still like chris browns music and all but I will continue to not take sides since both sides aren’t really “OUT”. Oh and LMAO @ Larry King bringing up that UStream video w/ him and bow wow…I completely fell out of my chair at that very moment.
oh and I agree w/ CORY…twitter is goin in about that tie lol!
I agree that the interview was a waste of time. We didn’t learn anything new nor did Chris say anything to help others who may be in an abusive relationship. It was clear though that he needs some psychological help, as does Rihanna. He’s not good for her and she’s not good for him.
THIS WAS A JOB INTERVIEW, WITHOUT A BACKGROUND SEARCH AND CHRIS STARTS BRIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING….
damn, i tried to watch it on WSHH but after the first commercial break, the sound went off… fml -______-
Im Not Gonna Give You Guys A Big Essay About This…Im Just Gonna Say That I Dont Agree With EVERYTHING Said On Larry King,But What I WILL Say Is That We All Have Different Opinions And To Knock Someone Down About Their Own Is Time Consuming And Immature..Lets All Just Respect One Another (Including Chris And Rihanna) And Let Them Be…Only Time Will Tell Where Life Will Take Chris And Rihanna But Wish Them The Best…Only God Can Judge And I Dont See ANYBODY Walkin On Water…The Negativity Has To Stop..When Are African Americans Gonna Unify??? C’mon Yall…SMH
i’m pissed at him for wearing that bowtie. why look like a clown, chris? i mean seriously. the i’m in love with her shit was mad corny and he should have left it out. he’s gonna kick her ass again next year if they get back together… or she might get hi first this time. they need space and time to really just “be”… apart as well as away from this situation. since he wanna compare their lil love affair to romeo and juliet. well we all know how that ended. ri-ri needs some parental supervision anyway… these are KIDS… his momma should be advising him to stay away… but clearly she didn’t learn from her lil “situation”.
ok i’m just really mad about that damn BOWTIE! *slaps the dog SHHH outta chris
forgive me…
heehee
Never been a big fan of CB but I’m curious to see how his career will resume after this whole fiasco.
Angel pahleeze keep the background like this cause when you put up those album cover backgrounds and ads’ the page takes way too long to load on my iPhone! See now that it’s back to normal I had no problem commenting. …..Thanks and I love this site it’s soo classy current and “deco” (((Miami talk))) lol ….. And Chris” …..I don’t know what to say. But his mom did seem catty with Larry lol and that !!!crying!!! Noooo lol so so fake!!!
I wont judge him because I don’t want anyone to judge me. Especially when they don’t know all of the facts. He is still a young guy and will make mistakes (WE ALL HAVE), but as long as he learns from them and never does it again then I will support him. TEAM CB…
Lmaoooo boy that damm bow tie gots to go!!!! He looks sooo dum
and it didnt help that he sounded dumb to lol
and his mom fake crys is soo lame
with that said
this was a complete waste he said nuthing!!!
Believe it of not Chris Brown’s career will barely take a hit from this whole situation and people are making such a big deal over it. Its funny because his albums sales increased a week after the whole incident with Rihanna. Yep he was wrong but no one is too perfect that they can look down on someone else. I have nothing negative to say I wish him the best, he has to pay for his actions and we all do.
DID ANYON ELSE NOTICE THIS FOOL LAUGHING WHEN LARRY PLAYED BACK HIS “APOLOGY’” VIDEO?
HE IS SUCH A SELF CENTER LITTLE BOY ITS SICKENING. HE IS NOT REMORESELF, and WILL DO IT AGAIN.
CHRIS I HOPE THIS IS THE END OF YOUR CAREER BUDDY.
people who judge anyone without knowing nothing should never judge anyone…was he wrong yes he handled it wrong…no matter what happened but a one sided story is never a whole story…..oh p.s. f Jay-Z
I’m looking back at some of your comments, were alll watching the same interview???
this KID is unphased, unremorseful, relentless and lives on his own planet, the mother is WEAK and lets her son parade around town like an idiot
JAY Z IS KING!!!!
#2, my thoughts exactly.
Jay-Z is left-over Biggie sweet…..Enuff said
I never notice this before but Chris sounds so uneducated!?
Anyways
all I’m going to say is Micheal Jackson was the target of the media for the last 17 years
Now they found themselves a new black man to pick on- Chris brown
Chris your going to need Jesus
cause the media is going to start picking at everything and anything you do.
I dont get what “new infos” people expected? Seems to me like Rihanna moved on way quicker thanall of u guys did ! So to all the peeps acting concerned about domestic violence, do somethingwhen its happening around u!Acting all judgmental but when your neighbour gets slapped around you’re not the one dialin 911 , too busy twitering !
To answer u angel, what would his media coach train him on if he did not know what he was working with??? chris has never even been in such a situation, how can you prepare someone when you dont know how they will handle the pressure. this boy in that seat had to choose carefully every word he had to say as well as take the heat..some of you running your mouths would have collapsed afer the first minute..exprience is the best teacher and sometimes you have to throw people in the deep end to see how they survive..unfortunartely if you are short sighted u will not see that.its always about the bigger picture not the next outfit and this interview was done mainly for that purpose. it was also tell the media that he will never talk about regardless of how much they bring it up. This interview was never to give details and was not done to improve his image best believe that..imagine this mess after the six months when he was ready to restart his career..that would be the last nail in the coffin..when he comes back (which he will) there will be absolutely no room for failure in every sense..trust and beleive him and his team now know what to do are will be preparing him in the next six months.. dnt think for a minute they are reading your feedback..its the best free information they could have ever asked for.. Its all rosey in riri’s kitchen lets hope it last long!!
LMAO that Larry King wanted to know since Chris Brown and Rihanna are young, what could they possibly argue about, because their disagreements couldn’t have been more serious than “what lollipop are we gonna get tomorrow?”…..Larry is OFFICIALLY gangsta
Wow! That is all i can say. Chris brown speaks like he is an immigrant, are you not from the United States, did you not go to school here? Why did he even do this interview, if you are no going to gave all the details? Are you fucking stupid Chris? You know what happened just come out and say it, we all know it was not all your fault,Rihanna had some parts in what took place that night. I still like you as a musician but your career is done, you should have never done that interview, you just said goodbye to the little bite of career you did have, everyone knows your mother family memebers will lie for you to get you out shit, thats with anyones family…duhhhhhh! Now that you just finished your career, go back to school and learn how to speak English,it like you didnt know what was coming out of your mouth.(it was pure caca ummmkay) Good luck, your gonna need it.
I resent it when some people make excuses and say that Chris is young and that is why he beat Rihanna up.No, I think that he beat Rihanna up because that`s the kind of person that he is,he is the type of person that can`t control his temper,it has nothing to do with being young or old,I`m young,but that don`t make me want to beat a girl up,Chris needs to learn how to control his temper and for now,he should leave the females alone and concentrate on his music career ,get his self together and right with God before he gets into another relationship.
Chris Breezy did`nt do himself any favors last night.He did`nt help his self at all,all he did was evade questions,he came across as being unemotional and cold and as somebody who was trying to look out for their own self interest in rebuilding their career rather than as a person who is deeply sorry for the wrong that he did.
Can we please leave this boy alone now.. F**k!! Its done, its done and he’s sorry, he still loves her blah, blah, blah.. Surely as people we’ve got more to talk about and write about than this 20yr old boy who’s clearly made the biggest mistake in his life yet.. Domestic violence didn’t start or end with Chris and Rihanna’s incident.. She’s forgiven him and moved on so why can’t we.. Just leave the f**king boy alone, I’m so sick and tired of all this BS.. He’s a kid and still has a lot to learn so lets not judge..
Please can we just leave all this drama behind us now.. Leave the boy alone..
As a celebrity I should not pick up trash, let the non-celebrity criminals handle the trash. I’ll deal with people that think that the sun shines out of my ass.
This arrogant prick pisses me off. DEATH PENALTY
I think Chris look fantastic on Larry King!!! My heart goes out to his mother and to him and even Rihanna. I respect him for not putting all her business out, but I wish he wasn’t trying to protect her at his own expense. He has suffered enough in my opinion and it is time to move for self. Anyway I wish Chris the best and I am looking forward to hearing his new CD. I pray it is a great success. I wish him success in all his future endeavors.
If you don`t wanna be judged ,don`t go on CNN,that`s all they do is judge people all day long,they even tell the viewers to email them or call in and give their judgements and opinions about Chris,why would he go on a cable station that has been judging and bashing him for months,and portrayed him as a thug and a symbol of domestic violence,it makes no sense
Okay First Of All I Just Wanna Say I Would Never EVER Condone Domestic Violence As I Grew Up With It For 10Yrs…But What I Do Wanna Say Is…People Say That What He Did Was Not A Mistake Which Annoys Me…Too Do This Once Can Be Classed As A Mistake, Okay It Shouldn’t Have Happened But U Cannot Control Ur Anger At Tymes…Now Especially From How Big This Has Become I Could Say Okay He Made A Mistake BUT U Cannot Call A Second Tyme A Mistake, Unless He Does This Again Or Youu Yourself R Ever In His Position U Cannot Say “This Wasn’t A Mistake Blah Blah” Cuz U Haven’t Been In That Situation…
Second Of All…Although He Didn’t Say Muchh Of What We Have Already Heard And It Did Basically Just Repeat Things We Have Already Heard I Respect The Fact That He Didn’t Go Into Detail And Why Should He, It’s Just As Much Rihanna’s Buisness As His So Why Should He Get Into It, No One Give A Ishh Bout None Famous People Dying From Domestic Violence So Why Just Cuz They R Famous Do People Feel It’s THERE Buisness To Know Every Detail, He Didn’t Beat Youu So It’s No One’s Buisness But There’s & There Families…The People That R In There Lives Day In Day Out…
Third Of All…I Feel Chris Has Learnt His Lesson And Will Continue To Keep Learning, People Forget He’s Still Only 20!! I Know At 20 Ur Not A Child But Ur Not Grown Either, These Two Are Still So Young & Still Have ALOT To Learn As Everyone There Age Does…As I Said At First I Am Never EVER Going To Condone Domestic Violence But I Will Stand For Someone Being Given A Second Chance When They Know They Have Done Wrong…I’ll Stand Up For Someone That Has The Ball’s Enough To Hold His Hands Up & Admit He’s Done Wrong…
But What We All Have To Remember Is That We Don’t Know These Two As PEOPLE & Don’t Know What Has Gone On Behind Closed Doors In The Past…
I Wish Both Of Them The Best Of Luck In The Future & Hope People Can Stop Judgin Such A Young Man & Woman As If Others Have Never Done Wrong…Love Is Crazy & They Had A Relationship Like Anybody Else Our Age…
xx
Chris doesn’t seem sincere in this interview, maybe he’s too nervous I dont know..
@ #30
LOL. Word.
I hate people saying he isn’t remorseful when he OBVIOUSLY is. Unless you want him to cry anytime her name is mentioned. But then I guess you’d complain about that.
I wasn’t expecting Chris to reveal anything new, that would be too much like playing with fire. What I didn’t expect was for him to get on national t.v. sounding so ignorant. I like him better with his mouth shut.
i’ve been one of those people who have said, chris is young, he made a mistake, lets move on but IMO chris brown needs to move on and let this thing go. that interview was completely unnecessary! nothing was accomplished, only made chris look like an idiot.
Chris Brown does not seem remorseful. He is a bit arrogant in my opinion. All that bs about not getting into thing because he respects Rihanna………where was that respect when he whipped her a$$! He and his mother should be concern that he drew a blank after such a violent encounter. He should be in therapy. I am the mother of 3 daughter and was rihanna my daughter he would remember something “my size 11 and up and through his guts”!
I love how people want to sitll jump down on him, when if put in the same situation would have done the same thing. He snapped and lost it and there was a reason for it, we just dont know it. So stop judging him because he did not break down every gory detail of that night. She still wants him and not because she was in a domestic violence situation. If any of you have ever been in a relationhip that got carried away what did you do the next moring? got screwed and kissed, same thing here, the only difference is that they are stars and people are mad cause they cant get deep into there business.. This should’ve been over the next week after it happen, but because someone wanted a story here we are again.. Rihanna is still not a victim and I stand on this when all is said and done people are going to beg him for forgiveness for dragging this out this long…
About him saying something about them pics, he should of said that, cause he was with the girl days after it happen!
Let it go. He apologized and he is remorseful. He has been sentenced for his crime. Let him start rebuilding his career and keep it moving.
THANK GOD I’M NOT A CELEBRITY….YOU CAN’T MAKE NO MISTAKES!!! PICTURE PERFECT OR WE HATE YOU TILL YOU DIE…THEN WE LOVE YOU AGAIN…MICHAEL JACKSON GOT LOTS OF LOVE AFTER HE DIED
DAMN SHAME…
The female fans who have been defending Chris Brown from the beginning of this situation make me want to vomit. It’s just really crazy how some females who would never actually have a chance with him are so quick to blame Rihanna saying she started it, when it doesn’t matter who started it Chris finished it. I’m sure they had an argument, and she might of hit him first or caused him to go over the edge but HE should of controlled his emotions, and females should support females that experienced anything like that no matter who the person who did it is. It’s appalling just because it’s CHRIS BROWN that he can do no wrong.
I’ve read comments before that even said things like “He can hit me, he’s so this and so that” makes yourself look low and that you have no respect for yourself, and shit like that. That is so wack and desperate.
Talent always prevails. He is very talented and his music will speak for itself. He is an entertainer and he doesn’t owe the public an explanation. His music is what he gives to the public. Everyone shows remorse differently. The incident happened over 5 months ago, so why do people expect him to act like it happened yesterday. He said that he and Rhianna ended as friends. So if the victim has come to terms with this, why can’t the pubic(the people who had absolutely nothing to do with this) move on!!!!
The only thing I didn’t like was that he didn’t own up to hitting her before. Everyone knows this wasn’t the first time he hit her.
Where is Rihanna in all of this? NOt saying Chris Brown was right but made him want to fuck her up like that.Shit you know those islands girls get buck. Dance Hall bitches don’t play.I think she should come forward I think she could care less she’s living the life of a princess.On his interview it was hilarious that nigga couldn’t even keep a straight face at his own video the I’m sorry one and the one with Bow Wow. Anybody that supports him is the same trick getting their ass beat by a nigga saying “he said this was the last time”
Cosign w/ # 46- I’m so glad I don’t have to live my life under a microscope.
I think Chris needs to see a speech therapist.
You all are the biggest hypocrites on this planet. Nobody is screaming about this with Tommy Lee and Sean Penn. And Chris was a foolish teen when this happened.
You are judging this guy on his inability to articulate the English language. He SAID he wanted to take accountability early on. DIDN’T YOU ALL SAY he waited too late to say “I’m Sorry.”
He tried to take accountability from DAY 1. Get over it! Let this dude rehabilitate, and move on with his career.
Also, I don’t think he owes anyone other than Rihanna and the people involved any explanation. I’m glad he didn’t go into detail about what happened that night, b/c it’s nobody’s business. We can look at the leaked photo of her battered face and see what happened. I am in no position to judge anybody and I hope they can all move forward.
He apologized, He said he made a mistake! He looked nervous and scared as hell, which is what he should be. Would it have been better if he just talked like he was some seasoned veteran criminal? Domestic Violence is WRONG!!! and if this happens again throw his ass in jail! But he was only 19 years old and he FUCKED up big time! Lets these 2 people be! Its not our freaken business! if your disgusted by what he did and dont want to support him , then big ups to you. I am hoping for his sake and her sake that they BOTH go into counseling, so this never happens to either one of them again in any relationship wether they are together or with other people.
Chris Brown did more damage than anything. The best thing he could have done through this entire ordeal was just to lay low, do his community service and re-surface three or four years from now when all of this has blown over.
The only thing he is trying to do is salvage his career. This interview was horrible.
Attn stans
Attn stans
Chris Brown professed his undying love for iconic Rihanna. Get over it.
The words straight from his mouth…
Yes, I love her
Yes, I am IN LOVE with her
Cory, you really make me sick! You guys who judge other men are ridiculous! Y’all are quick to call a man gay if he is sensitive or quick to bash on him for hitting a woman. I wonder what you think of T.I. for cheating on his “fiance” so many times, Snoop Dogg for cheating on his wife all the time, and Lil Wayne for having all of those baby mamas. None of them respect their women and degrade them and I don’t hear no man bashing them! You are a loser and very immature. Just because you wouldn’t hit a girl, even if she attached you, doesn’t mean that makes you any better than a man who would. Now we don’t know what Rihanna did, but she admitted to throwing a damn bottle and fighting her brothers when she was a teen so I’m pretty sure she put her hands on him first. I’m sure you’re no Angel yourself. I would like to know what skeletons you have in your closet!
Anyway, Chris really pissed me off with this interview; he shouldn’t have done it. Now people won’t live it down. It was a waste of time and he did come of as being kinda uneducated. I am not a fan of Chris Brown music, I couldn’t stand hearing him on the radio before this, but I’m just hear to support him for now because he made a mistake and I’m tired of people comitting sins but thinking that just because their sin isn’t “as bad” as another, they have room to talk. You have pre marital sex, babys born out of wed lock, drug usage (includes weed) getting drunk, cheating on your wife…. ALLL OF YOU have comitted these things and still think you have room to talk when in reality, you have no room to judge. Everyone needs to get over it.
Okay…soooooo where to begin. I’m tired of everyone saying that he isn’t remorseful, in the interview. IT’S BEEN 6 MTHS AGO….WTF???…Is he suppose to breakdown and cry about it during the interview??? He’s probably cried all that he can cry. Right now he’s just looking to get over and move on to the next chapter in his life. I wish him the best of luck!!! I hope he’s learned from this experience
I didn’t feel good or bad about the interview, as I always felt, there was no need for him to do it in the first place. An interview is the LAST thing you want to do [when you were wrong] in a situation like this, and I have no idea who put him up to it or who thought it would be a good idea. At this point what is there left to speak about? He’d be a fool to sit and tell what happened blow by blow, and I don’t think he would even if he didn’t want to out of respect for her. I felt sorry for him because he seemed nervous; it came off forced and a bit rehearsed. He has nothing to explain or to prove at this point. Everything was put out there–from police leaks of the photo to her accounts to the police of what went on–and he was punished for it. People want him to give an account of what happened, for what? To hear him say it himself? We all know what happened.
I don’t know what level people want him to attain to show how ‘remorseful’ or ‘sorry’ he is, but I think he’s gone through enough as it is having to live with something like this in the public eye and with such scrutiny. We’re all people, and I’m sure anyone on here has f*cked up once in their life to the point where it was a mistake that everyone immediate to you was aware them. It’s an embarrassing and horrible feeling. Now take that a million fold when you’re a celebrity. That definitely takes strength because I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But with respect to Rihanna, I’m really just concerned about her violations as a domestic abuse victim, and why, or better yet when her people are going to step up to the plate and start filing suits against the LAPD and TMZ because leaking that photo was totally in the wrong. Her rights as a young woman were violated twice in this situation and the ‘she just wants it to go away’ response they keep giving is quite sad to me…
@ 57
What was so wrong about what Cory wrote? As a female, I agree.
