" \r\nChris Brown&amp;#xA0;is backtracking on his statement that he doesn&amp;apos;t remember beating ex girlfriend&amp;#xA0;Rihanna.\r\nIn his first interview since his Feb. 8 arrest for the incident, Brown (who pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22) told&amp;#xA0;Larry King&amp;#xA0;he &amp;quot;can&amp;apos;t believe...that actually happened.&amp;quot;\r\nBut late Monday night, Brown, 20, released a statement to &amp;quot;try and set things straight.&amp;quot;\r\nHe says: &amp;quot;There have been reports on the Internet that I didn&amp;apos;t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.\r\n&amp;quot;That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like four or five times -- and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The first four times &amp;#x2013; or how ever many times it was - I gave the same answer -- which was that I didn&amp;apos;t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn&amp;apos;t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time &amp;#x2013; or whatever it was &amp;#x2013; I just misspoke. I was asked, &amp;apos;Do you remember doing it?&amp;apos; and I said, &amp;apos;No.&amp;apos;\r\n&amp;quot;Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can&amp;apos;t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can&amp;apos;t. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
