Chris Brown: 'I'm Not Perfect'
As Chris Brown gears up to face a judge once again on charges of assault and criminal threats, VIBE magazine takes a look at his rocky relationship with Rihanna -- and how Brown promised he'd never be abusive.
In a previously unpublished interview with VIBE from 2007, Brown detailed how growing up in a home with domestic violence affected him. "I promised myself, 'I'm not gonna be that dude.' I'm never gonna be that person that takes the argument that far," Chris declared.
The R&B singer, who enjoyed a spotless reputation before the incident with RiRi, added, "Being young, you always have to have a wholesome image -- but I'm not perfect."
Chris Bush, a former bodyguard to both Brown and Rihanna, told the magazine that he believes Brown was under an enormous amount of pressure. "He's under too many restraints. It's like caging a pit -- eventually he's gonna lash out." Bush also alleges that the photo of the battered "Umbrella" singer was leaked by one of the "leeches" in Brown's or Rihanna's camp.
