Chris Brown's "apology" wasn't even that. More than anything, it was a PR response, which is appalling. I understand that his team's goal is to keep his career afloat, although in this case, it's a lose-lose situation for him. Letting out a timid PR response makes him look like trash, but outright admitting what he did and apologizing would prove it was his fault, and he and his team probably aren't ready to take that career risk. Ideally, he'd send a serious apology to Rihanna in private, but I doubt that's happened either.

It's sickening to see parts of the public support him, especially after Rihanna's photo surfaced. She did something to him, and that makes it her fault? Even if she did do something to him, I don't see him in a hospital with bruises, so it's hardly an applicable statement. It's like saying women who wear mini-skirts and tight shirts are asking to be raped, so it's their fault if that happens. I can't believe some of the ridiculousness that goes on in this world. Are men not adults who can be held responsible for their actions?
