And I thought it was just me that thought it was odd that Brown plead 'Not Guilty' to the felony charges in the Rihanna incident. Well, it looks like her father is just as confused as I am.
Rihanna's father is trying to figure out why Chris Brown would plead not guilty to charges of beating his daughter when he's said nothing so far to deny it.
"So what happened? Somebody else did this to Rihanna then?" Ronald Fenty told Us Weekly, adding that Brown needs to take responsibility for his actions and "stop being in denial" about injuring his daughter.
"If he's not guilty, who did it? He should say 'guilty' and let the court be leaning into him and try himself to the mercy of the court, see if he gets a fine," Fenty added. "Now he's going to go beyond that and it could go longer, it can be even worse. It can be worse for him in the long run."
On Monday, Brown entered a not guilty plea on both of his felony charges of assault and making criminal threats to Rihanna. The move, according to legal experts, is simply a means to a possible plea deal in the works. But Mr. Fenty believes Brown should own up to his actions.
"I don't want his career to be damaged -- it's damaged already. I think he's a talented guy, but everybody should have to pay," he said. "When you do the crime, you do the time. I don't want to see him locked up for a long time -- I just want him to acknowledge and get some help."
Rihanna's lawyer said she would be pleased "if [the case] were over quickly," TMZ reported. A plea bargain would allow Rihanna to avoid having to testify.
Brown is due back in court on April 29.
