Is somebody going to come to Rihanna’s rescue? I mean seriously? Her father chimed in on the incident and seemed kind of lukewarm. If she were my daughter there would be a serious “Brown Hunt” on. All of the other celebrities are too neutral (might hurt their careers) to take a stand. Please never ever let me be so tangled up in Hollywood or popular culture to speak my mind. I mean as a Bajan woman I’m personally offended. I say fry Chris Brown like chicken.

Singer Rihanna’s camp has declined to officially comment on Chris Brown’s apology statement, but sources say that the “Umbrella” crooner is “appalled” by Brown’s statement.

“All of us, including Rihanna, don’t understand how he can say he’s sorry on the one hand, but still… does not admit any guilt,” a Barbados pal of Rihanna tells the Chicago Sun-Times. “He should have expressed more contrition.”

After a week of negative press for Chris subsequent to the alleged abuse of Rihanna, Brown released a statement saying he was “sorry and saddened… over what transpired,” but did not go into detail about the altercation.

A source close to the Rihanna told the newspaper that RiRi is “royally pissed off” at what she calls Brown’s “cavalier and arrogant statement.”

Both singers are currently keeping a low profile. Chris is due in court March 5.
