Chris Brown opens up about the night he assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna in a new documentary titled Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life. The R&B megastar explains he met her for the first time when he was 15 years old backstage at a New York concert and that their relationship soon blossomed into a “fairytale.”
Two years later, the fairytale came to a screeching halt when Brown confessed he’d had sex with a particular woman before they were together, losing RiRi’s trust. “From there it went downhill,” Brown said.
On February 8, 2009, he says a fight between the couple broke out in his Lamborghini after she went through his text messages and found a message from someone he was involved with in the past. Brown claims the Barbados-born singer said she hated him and began to hit him.
“I remember she tried to kick me, but then I really hit her, with a closed fist, like I punched her,” Brown said. “I busted her lip. When I saw it, I was in shock. I was like, ‘Fuck, why the hell did I hit her?’ From there, she just spit in my face … like spit blood in my face and it enraged me even more. It was a real on fight in the car.”
Brown said he tried to calm things down, but she was trying to throw his cell phone out of the car window. “She grabbed my neck and when she do that, I actually bite her arm as I’m driving,” he continued. “It’s just like a petty fight.”
Towards the end of the interview, he explains they were both in tears as he swore to her he was telling the truth. After taking his keys, she got out of the car and screamed, “He’s trying to kill me.”
The rest is history. Brown was convicted for felony assault soon after the incident and sentenced to five years probation. The photo of Rihanna’s injuries has been widely circulated over the years, something Brown still has difficulties seeing.
“That’s not me, bro,” he says. “I hate it to this day. That’s going to haunt me forever.”

No excuses to ever punch a woman.
That’s sexist. So you think women are weak and inferior?
“That’s not me”? How many times you’ve been arrested or sued for losing your temper and hitting?
I been saying RiRi started it.
They were both in tears. lol CB is a b*tch. Let’s C the scars she put on him though.
CB seems to be a psycho, but it is true that some relationships just are lit, and if you’re smart, you have to get away from those people as soon as possible. Some people just can push your buttons in a way that you would never react with anybody else. He does seem to be tripping though because he’s had problems past just with her.
classy!
Why you recounting it 10 yrs later tho? This the type of shit you keep to yourself or you just tell your inner circle for closure or atleast save it for a book when you’re broke.
there was always two sides to this story as there are with every story. Her side was played up to for attention and publicity but it’s still a shame what happened. Chris should’ve just removed himself from the situation if she was acting up. As in pulled the car over, got out and walked away. He should’ve known she had issues when she got mad at him when he told her he cut a chick she didn’t like BEFORE they got together (WARNING SIGN). But no, ego got in the way and the rest is history. Pretty sad on both accounts. I guess it worked out in the end, Rihanna’s career sky-rocketed and he was able to bounce back.
“Her side was played up to for attention and publicity” – Victimhood is lucrative.
This is pretty much what everybody thought happened when it first happened, so wtf you talking about? Everybody said it was over his 40 year old manager or some shit, and that came out right after this happened. Still no excuse to swell her face up. Put her ass out the car. We all been with a girl acting crazy, so no excuse for that shit, not to mention he has more incidents since then.
I guess those 2 bitchiz. still love each other. Yep yep.
And this is why Jay Z is the man!
Once a women spits on you the gloves might come off. But imagine she spit blood in your face, what would you do?
That wouldnt happen because i wouldnt have punched her in the first place. I wouldve taken her home and ate the booty
what if she shit in your eye
It will haunt you forever. Take a deep breath, remove her from your car.
damn it snitch cb nearly killed dat rnb bitch. goddman fuck the pussy.
Basically Rihanna is crazy as fuck and started this whole thing by attacking him then spitting on him….Instead of explaining the story to the media, she rode the wave and acted like victim to boost her career….
The supposition here is that we expect women to act emotionally hostile and therefore deem it acceptable. This is pretty sad. It’s funny how people who say “just walk away” seem to not understand what it’s like to be a victim of unwarranted assault. When you put someone in that fight or flight mode, it’s much less a choice and more so a physiological reaction to danger.
If a crazy woman starts attacking you you can’t just sit there.maybe he used to much force, but Rihanna was wrong to and should have be charged for assault. Rihanna is those unstable chiks.. avoid them.
Women shouldn’t be allowed to get away with assault either.
Odd to say, “That’s not me bro” when actually, it one hundred percent totally is ya c(‘)nt!
it should haunt him forever. Sheesh.
