Rihanna Says Chris Brown's Apology Doesn't Cut It

The star is "royally pissed off" by what she considers half-assed apology.

Love means never having to say you're sorry.

Or perhaps it means having to say you're sorry over and over again in the most remorseful and humbling manner humanly possible.

We tend to lean toward the latter interpretation of how love works. And apparently, so does Rihanna.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the singer is none too happy about Chris Brown's recent statement of apology in the aftermath of his alleged assault on her.

In case you missed it, the statement included a sort-of-apology ("Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired"), but also included a very obvious non-apology ("Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong").

And while Rihanna's camp has declined to officially comment on Brown's statement, a close friend of the entertainer's in her native Barbados (where she is currently recovering) tells the Chicago paper that: "All of us, including Rihanna, don't understand how he can say he's sorry on the one hand, but still ... not admit any guilt…he should have expressed more contrition."

Another friend and associate of hers in LA takes it further, saying that Rihanna is "royally pissed off" by Brown's "cavalier and arrogant statement."

Obviously, this is a very sensitive matter and, because neither we nor anyone else (besides Rihanna and Brown, it seems) knows the full story of what happened that fateful Sunday night, we can only end by saying that, half-assed apologies aside, we hope justice will be served and that Rihanna will recover fully.

They're both young enough to put this behind them and move on without having to ever look back. I wish them both the best.Sound unreasonable to me. He should be behind the bar.

Up until now before the apology she has had nothing to say. Now that he has apologized she doesn't like the apology? Get over it. It sounded like one to me. I would have been mad the whole time he hadn't released an apology. Maybe all the sghtings and reports I've seen were made up of her because she looks "recovered" to me. They were in the states of her getting tattoos, doing tattoos, partying with different guys, one time half naked with no shirt on and stars over her nipples and what looked like a jacket. Anyway, the whole situation has been simmered, done, digested and needs to be released and flushed. Life is full of trials and things way worse than what happened between them. It's so many people that forget that they're not perfect and have actually made mistakes it's all pitiful. Maybe he'll go to anger management and be a better person, maybe she'll find a man that'll never put his hands on her. Everybody lived to see another day and have hopefully learned from whatever mistakes were involved in the event. They're both young enough to put this behind them and move on without having to ever look back. I wish them both the best.

As a real man, my advice to Rihanna would be to press charges in this matter that "PUNK" needs to learn a lesson and the only way to achieve that would be to press charges!!!

When I took the law into my own hands in a matter regarding my son; I found out that because I am 245lbs with a 50 inch chest and 18 inch arms; I can not go around beating people up, so when they pressed charges on me; for beating up the man who was messing with my son I learned in anger management to control the anger and I am a better person now and I know how to deal with situations when that situation becomes heated.

P.S. The jail time and the fine was another great way for me to control my self and it taught me to act in a civil manner when confronted!
