MYFOXNY.COM - Chris Brown has apologized to fans for his beating of Rihanna, in a way typical of all celebrity news these days: on the Internet.
TMZ posted a two-minute video recorded by Brown, later published on his Web site and YouTube channel Monday apologizing to fans and saying he is sad and ashamed of his conduct.
In the video, Brown says he has repeatedly apologized to Rihanna and has consulted with his mother and minister to explore the reasons for what happened and why he committed "unacceptable" behavior.
He said his lawyers advised against speaking out. Indeed, in the video apology he doesn't mention specifics and doesn't directly admit anything, but says he will not offer excuses.
Police arrested Brown back on Feb. 8 after he and Rihanna had left a Grammy Awards preparty. Authorities later charged him with assault likely to cause great bodily harm. He pleaded guilty to the assault charge in June and faces sentencing on Aug. 5.
Brown is set to serve five years of probation and perform six months of community labor, according to reports.
