Chris Brown to Share his Side of the Story

We all know there are two sides to every story. And since Ms. R. was all up on 20/20 telling her side to Diane Sawyer (and the rest of us) it's only fair that Chris gets to speak, too. I hope he owns up to his actions. Yes it takes two to tango but Ms. R was definitely the victim in this situation. Chris I wish you the best and know you are growing (and hopefully changing) but you, my man, were wrong wrong wrong. I'll be tuning in to 20/20 on December 11th to hear what he has to say for himself. Let's just hope he is more sincere than he was on Larry King!

R&B star Chris Brown to be interviewed on '20/20'

Nov. 27, 2009, 4:47 PM EST

NEW YORK (AP) -- ABC says Chris Brown will appear on its "20/20" newsmagazine Dec. 11.

In what's billed as an in-depth interview, the singer will discuss his assault of ex-girlfriend and recording superstar Rihanna in February. He is on probation for the beating.

Robin Roberts, anchor of ABC's "Good Morning America," conducts the interview. It was taped last weekend.

ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says clips may also air on "Good Morning America." He says Brown will not perform live.

Brown is scheduled to release his album "Graffiti" on Dec. 8. He has previously spoken about the attack on MTV News and "Larry King Live."

Rihanna was interviewed this month by ABC's Diane Sawyer.

Rihanna Speaks Out to Diane Sawyer, ABC EXCLUSIVE - ABC News

Some say it's because she has an album to promote. Some say it's because she wanted to finally have her say about the situation. Well, whatever the reason Rihanna has finally broken her silence about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Chris Brown. The interview with ABC's Diane sawyer has sparked a lot of controversy. I personally think she was very brave and elegant and was surprised that she admitted she finally left due to her social responsibility--realizing that she might be putting the lives of other young, abused women in jeopardy if she sent the message that it was okay to stay. So for that, I don't care if she finally chose to speak out in an effort to promote her album. After all, with the release of her album and the accompanying public appearances people were bound to ask about it so it seems smart to me to just get it over with already. What is important and impressive is that she realizes the power of her platform and seems to be stepping up to the plate by being a responsible celebrity. Now, hopefully, young women who find themselves in abusive relationships have a point of reference: hopefully they will not be afraid to ask for help; hopefully they will take a clue from Rihanna and wall the hell away!! Abuse to women is a monumental problem in our society and now it seems it has a new spokesperson. God does work in mysterious ways.

Check out the interview below (if you haven't already) and let me know what you think.
