When Chris Brown sees the infamous leaked photo of ex-girlfriend Rihanna with a bruised and battered face following his early-morning assault on her on February 8, he still can't believe it.
"When I look at it now, it's just like, wow, like, I can't — I can't believe that — that actually happened," Brown told CNN's Larry King in an interview slated to run on Wednesday night, his first since his arrest in February. Brown also claims in the interview that he cannot remember that night's violence, which police said included the then-19-year-old singer punching, biting and choking Rihanna.
Brown told King that he still loves Rihanna and that he's still in love with her, but the judge's stay-away order will keep him apart from the singer for the next five years. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22 in a deal that helped him avoid up to five years in jail, but includes five years of probation and six months of community labor service.
Brown said he realizes now that his violent actions have real-world consequences. "They want me to pick up trash, remove graffiti," he said, dubbing the judge's sentence as fair. "I'm a hard worker. It's something I'm willing to do."
Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, told King that he's grown to love the singer as a "son or a nephew," and that the sentence means Brown has to walk "the straight and narrow for five years."
So far, Brown appearsto have gotten off to a shaky start, as questions were raised last week on the day of his sentencing about whether his celebratory dancing at a Los Angeles nightclub may have been a violation of his probation (Peep This). A spokesperson for the Los Angeles District Attorney's office and one for the probation department said on Friday that they have not opened any investigation into whether a probation violation occurred.
