Chris Brown: I'm Trying to Become a Better Person



Chris Brown has come to terms with the fact that his public persona has never been the same after he assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009.

In MTV's This Is How I Made It, the 23-year-old singer opens up about why he no longer feels the need to continually apologize for his past behavior. "Having to get personal opinion back and having to gain personal success back. . . it's not all the way back, you know? But it's one of my most humbling experiences," Brown says. "I can't hate people for making judgment on me or making a decision of liking me or not liking me. All I can do is try to be better as a person, and I'm good with knowing everything isn't always going to be perfect."

The "Beautiful People" singer -- who has been dating both Rihanna, 24, and aspiring model Karrueche Tran, 23, on-and-off -- insists his true fans have always been loyal.

"The fan base that I have and the actual support is unreal to me. They've put me in a position to be able to help people and continue to do music and help my family, help my mom," explains Brown. "I just want my fans to be able to identify, whether it be the ones that maybe could of had everything or they maybe blew their chance and they failed and didn't know how to get back up."

Thus far, the Grammy winner has complied with the terms of his plea deal, which included community labor, five years' formal probation and domestic violence counseling.

Brown adds, "My story or my life or my legacy can hopefully show them that once you're down, that don't just mean you're down forever. You never let up. A lot of the negatives that we always go through, we're gonna have to get through that. It sounds crazy, but that's what makes us who we are."

Brown's This Is How I Made It episode airs Saturday, Nov. 3, at 12 p.m. EST on MTV.

ani_di_franco 2nd-Nov-2012 06:13 pm (UTC)
The only thing he "tried so hard and got so far" was the chair he threw out GMA's window.

cycle of abuser!!!!!

brzerkpenguin 2nd-Nov-2012 08:08 pm (UTC)
Yup - I cant count all the times my abusive ex said he wanted to be a better person over a 4 year period - it would last maybe a couple weeks or a month max - sometimes only a few days. Actually he just gave me this speech on Sunday! But I wont be going back this time.
waistinglines 2nd-Nov-2012 08:59 pm (UTC)
Aww, well I'm proud of you, op!
There is no need for women to keep going back to emotional and physical abusive relationships when it doesn't have to be that way.
