Chris Brown Opens Up About The Night He Punched Rihanna

Chris Brown is working on a new documentary about himself, called Chris Brown: Welcome to My Life.

CHRIS BROWN RECOUNTS ABOUT PUNCHING RIHANNA

The singer opened up about the night he punched his then-girlfriend Rihanna in the face in 2009, in a clip that was shared. “I still love Rihanna, but I’m just going to be honest – we would fight each other, she would hit me, I would hit her, but it was never ok,” he says in the clip. “It was always a point to where we talk about it like, ‘What the f–k are we doing?'” The 11-minute video was posted to Facebook, but has since been taken down.

Brown and Rihanna were arguing one night so badly that Brown punched the Barbadian singer, causing blood and bruises. Pictures emerged of the incident, which resulted in Brown on probation for five years and sentenced to six months community service. Apparently Brown had confessed that he slept with another woman he used to work with, and the relationship quickly deteriorated from there, leading to the incident after the pre-Grammys Clive Davis party.

“She hated me,” he said. “After that, I tried everything. She didn’t care, she just didn’t trust me after that. From there, it just went downhill because it would be fights, it would be verbal fights, physical fights as well… If I go on stage, I got a scratch on my face, and I’ve got to explain it, like ‘Oh I fell,’ or if you got a scar or a bruise, you got to put make up on. S**t, I’m not ever trying to put my hands on any female,” he said.

Recalling the events on that evening, Brown says the woman he was connected to approached the couple to say hello. The action really upset Rihanna and the pair decided to leave. “I look over at Rihanna and she’s bawling, she’s crying,” he said, before adding, “She got over it. She started drinking a little bit, we both was drinking a little bit. We was tipsy, laughing and then we left.”

Later that night, Brown claims that Rihanna saw a text from the same woman on his phone, and that started the fight. “I remember she tried to kick me, just like her beating s**t, but then I really hit her,” he described. “With a closed fist, like I punched her and it busted her lip. And when I saw it I was in shock, I was like, ‘F**k, why did I hit her like that?’ From there she’s spitting blood in my face and it enraged me even more.”

According to Brown’s story, they then pulled over and Rihanna faked like she threw the keys out the window. When Brown went out to fetch the, Rihanna yelled out her door, “Help, he’s trying to kill me.”

The singers rekindled their romance very briefly after the incident before calling it quits for good. He tells viewers, “I felt like a f–king monster,” after that night.
