A portion of Chris Brown’s interview with CNN’s Larry King surfaced earlier today where the singer said he did not recall assaulting Rihanna.Here is a transcript:
On looking at the photo of Rihanna’s bruised face:
“When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.”
On Rihanna dating other men:
“I definitely would be affected by it, but, at the end of the day, I mean, we’re not together, so, if she’s happy, I’m cool. We’ll always be friends.”
On his sentence, including community service:
“Everything comes with consequences. They want me to pick up trash remove graffiti. I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do.”
On moving forward:
“I just need to prove to people I can be a role model. That’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be. I made a mistake and I — and it was just something I have to live up and own.”
Just moments ago the star release a statement clarify his comments about not remembering hitting Rihanna:
“There have been reports on the internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight. That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times — and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.
The first four times – or how ever many times it was – I gave the same answer — which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, “Do you remember doing it?” and I said, “No.”
Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can’t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.
As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can’t. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future. “

How many times does he have to say he’s sorry? Rihanna forgave him like a month after it happen, and we still haven’t gotten over it.
