According to RadarOnline.com, the R&B singer Chris Brown has angered women’s groups (again) by calling his abuse toward Rihanna a “mishap”.
Brown says he is ready to stop apologizing for his violent attack on Rihanna two years ago and move on from the “mishap,” but women’s groups aren’t ready to forgive and forget.
“I’m in a positive place,” said Brown, who last week leaked a graphic pic of his peen to boost album sales.
“I consider myself a grown-ass man. And at the end of the day, if I walk around apologizing to everybody, I’m gonna look like a damn fool,” Brown told Page Six magazine.
But women’s groups don’t believe Brown is a changed man:
In the Page Six interview, in Thursday’s edition of the New York Post, the 21-year-old singer revealed how many of his showbiz pals turned their backs on him after the incident.
“But you can’t blame people for how they want to be portrayed or if they don’t want to be associated with somebody who had a particular mishap,” he said.
Erin Matson, Acting Vice President of the National Organization of Women is disgusted that Brown would use such a word to describe an attack that left his then-girlfriend with serious swelling and bruising, a split lip, bloody nose and bite marks on her arms and fingers.
“It was not a mishap, this was a serious act of violence. No woman who has been assaulted would refer to it as a mishap, nor should anyone refer to it as such,” she told RadarOnline.com.
“What I am most concerned about is people who are hearing him say that he’s assaulted someone and that it’s not a big deal.”
