Chris Brown is now talking about Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer. The singer, 20, released this statement through MTV: “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.” I guess I’m slightly confused here. Isn’t this the same guy that gave multiple interviews on the incident, including speaking with Larry King? I was thrown off after reading this statement because I don’t see how it is fair that Brown can speak to multiple networks and try to get his name somewhat cleared. From watching Rihanna’s interview, I saw how she was trying to get people to understand her actions immediately following the abuse. She let people know what she was thinking when she went back to Brown. And I don’t see anything wrong with that. She is a superstar, she has built an incredible empire, and she did turn off a lot of fans by choosing to go to Miami with Chris Brown just three weeks after he hit her. This was her chance to tell her story, and I thought her interview was great. I don’t agree with Brown saying that she should keep things to herself; when you are celebrity you just don’t have the luxury. It may be unfortunate, especially in such difficult situations, but it is also why the famous are so rich and can afford all the extravagants in their lives.
