Chris Brown: Some Things Are Just Private

Fri., Nov. 6, 2009 6:20 PM PST by

ABC snagged Rihanna, leaving MTV... with Chris Brown.

But the network and the fallen R&B star made the most of the opportunity tonight with a half-hour special that gave Brown a chance to reflect even more upon his endlessly reflected-upon crime.

Brown's position has been to not discuss what exactly happened the night he assaulted his then-girlfriend, turning him into a pariah before the sun had risen the next day.

But Rihanna did go into detail about the attack, however, and MTV gave Brown the opportunity to respond to what Rihanna was dishing out to Diane Sawyer.

"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8th, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he said in a statement to MTV after his initial sit-down.

Yeah, probably shouldn't have let the police get involved then...
