"It was like he gave her another blow, albeit one of a different kind," a source says of Rihanna's feeling toward public apology offered by Chris Brown earlier this week.

The YouTube video showing making public apology to fans and for assaulting her, which hit the web earlier last week, reportedly sends Rihanna to "total shock". Explaining the matter, a source tells Britain Now Magazine, "It was like he gave her another blow, albeit one of a different kind. All she knows is that it's in the news again and that's the one thing she didn't want. She's been trying to put it behind her and move on as fast as possible."

Rihanna and Chris, still according to the source, "spoke earlier last week and Chris made no mention of any public statement then. She wishes he'd given her at least a heads-up about it. But that's Chris, always thinking of himself first and forgetting how this would impact on her." Worse, Chris is claimed to tape the apologetic footage to save his career in music biz, which is decreasing, and regain the fans he lost.

On Monday, July 20, a video of Chris Brown issuing his apology for assaulting Rihanna during a heated argument back in early February surfaced. In it, the R 'n' B performer said, "I have told Rihanna countless times, and I'm telling you today that I am truly, truly sorry, and I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better ...... I have done a lot of soul-searching, and over the past several months I've talked with my minister and my mother, and I spent a lot of time trying to understand what happened and why. I have let a lot of people down, and I realize that."

"No one is more disappointed than in me than I am. As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence and I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage could do. I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again," he went on, adding "As I sit here today I can tell you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again, and I promise that. What I did was unacceptable, 100 percent. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please. I hope that others learn from my mistakes."

How contradicting can all of these people be he's shunned if he doesn't apologize and ridiculed when he does...How pathetic can some of these people be just shut up and live your own lives instead of wasting your days trying to follow someone else living theirs...regardless of the situation you all complain more than the people involved...dxmn...

why is she in shock? the video was posted on the 20th of july...now she says she is in shock? she knew of the video when it came out and nothing was said then... chris apologizing is the first step. now rihanna needs to speak up on it and then they can go from there.

people live Chris alone, what if he apologize, i thought that was a good thing. other celebrities do drugs, what do they do? nothing. this was his first offense and he was only 19,he deserves a second chance.

This clown is doing this to save his career. Anyone who thinks he's sorry is dumb and riding his jock.

This is so bogus. Who is the source? I don't believe for a second that Rihanna didn't know that was coming.
posted by Herby505 on Jul 31, 2009
Seriously, I also blame Rihanna because you know he hit her more than one time and she never dumped him, first time shame on him second time shame on her. It;s not like she doesn't have the means to leave him and after the whole thing happened she was still with him so you tell me who the stupid one is.

all the women who think Chris Brown doesn't owe an apology are the ones with such low self-esteem, they must have boyfriends of their own who smack them around and they think "well, I deserve it, since I made him mad". SICK
