Chris Brown: No public apology needed!

Chris Brown is a talented young man and I just don't understand why he felt he had to beg his fans for forgiveness. He is no different than any other man or celebrity, who has been guilty of domestic violence. Right after the incident between Chris and Rihann they were together, but in my opinion the media is what caused a permanent wedge between the two. The only person he owes and apology to is Rihanna, and the only person he can blame and get help for is himself-not his fans. He admitted his faults and apologized several times already. I believe no celebrity actions should be looked at no differently than any other human being. The only difference between a celebrity and me is their career and financial status; therefore, I will not allow what Chris did in his personal life affect the waly I feel about his talents. He made a mistake. He let his emotions get the best of him and for that he will suffer the consequences, but does he have to be punished mentally as well? He's already been through that enough as a child!
