p p Chris Brown issued a statement on Sunday (February 15), a week after his alleged altercation with singer Rihanna. /ppWords cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired, the statement reads. 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. /ppMuch of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong, the statement continues. 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. /pp/pp /ppThe statement did not directly address the alleged altercation.
