Chris Brown Talks About His 'Deepest Regret' and Rihanna's Forgiveness

From Zimbio

Whether you're anti-Chris Brown (because domestic abuse makes you sick) or pro-Chris Brown (because you buy the redemption story and love his music), there seems to be no stopping his rekindled romance with Rihanna, the woman he savagely assaulted in 2009. 

At least now, Brown is man enough to address what he calls his "greatest regret" after years of a having what seemed like a blasé attitude about the incident. 

Brown spoke with the U.K.'s Mirror magazine candidly about repairing the damage done that infamous night and winning Rihanna back. "Sometimes, you know, you fight with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals," he said. "That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake."

While just about everyone who knows Brown's history with Rihanna has an opinion on their relationship, it's ultimately up to Rihanna and Rihanna alone to decide if he's worthy of a second chance. For now, it appears she's willing to give him a shot.  

"It's different now," she explains. "We don't have those types of arguments any more. We talk about [stuff]. We value each other. For a long time he was really angry ... there's so many reasons why I ever reconsidered having him in my life. He's not the monster everyone thinks. He's a good person. He has a fantastic heart. He's giving and loving. And he's fun to be around. That's what I love about him — he always makes me laugh." 

Brown puts it in simpler terms: "She loves me — what can I say? I'm forgiven... But, yes, I worked hard for it. I’ve learned a lot since that night and I’ve grown up. I was very young and I took a lot of stuff, fame, for granted.
