" Oh hey there. Almost moved on from the time that Chris Brown violently assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna? Not still seething with rage that he was allowed to perform at the Grammys just a few years after that? Content pretending that Chris Brown simply doesn&amp;#039;t exist, so you don&amp;#039;t have to deal with a world that continues to reward a man that shows very little remorse for doing something truly awful? Well Chris Brown is here to shatter all of that. Shatter it to pieces. Because he&amp;#039;s bringing it all up again in a new documentary called Welcome to My Life. But don&amp;#039;t get your hopes up just yet. Chris Brown isn&amp;#039;t using his documentary as the perfect opportunity to reflect on his wrongdoings and share his journey of recovery and personal development. Of course not. That would be entirely out of character.\u00A0 Nope. He wants to talk about how much assaulting Rihanna impacted HIS life.\u00A0 That&amp;#039;s right. No apology. No &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ve been through a lot of therapy to work out\u00A0why\u00A0I felt the need to violently attack a woman I claimed to love.&amp;#039; Just &amp;#039;hey guys, listen to all the sad stuff that happened to me after I beat up Rihanna.&amp;#039;        &amp;quot;I felt like a fucking monster,&amp;quot; Chris says in the new trailer for the documentary.\u00A0&amp;quot;I was thinking about suicide and everything else. I wasn&amp;#039;t sleeping, I wasn&amp;#039;t eating. I was just getting high.&amp;quot; He goes on to describe the emotional toll of &amp;quot;going from being on top of the world, number one songs, being kind of like America&amp;#039;s sweetheart to being public enemy number one&amp;quot; before his mum pops up to say that the Rihanna incident as the &amp;quot;worst day of [her] life.&amp;quot; Now, to be clear, we don&amp;#039;t want to disregard Chris&amp;#039; troubles. It&amp;#039;s awful that he was contemplating suicide. He was clearly in a very, very dark place and we hope he got the help that he needed.\u00A0  It just seems a bit ridiculous that Chris is now getting a documentary to discuss how terrible it was to have a temporary blip in his career (and we do mean temporary. He&amp;#039;s still mega successful and rich) without using the film as a chance to reiterate just how sorry he is (or should be) for the actions that led him to that place - and led Rihanna to a much, much worse place that she didn&amp;#039;t deserve in any way, shape, or form.\u00A0 Should Chris expect sympathy for the worst day of his and his mum&amp;#039;s life? Erm, probably not. It definitely wasn&amp;#039;t the best day of Rihanna&amp;#039;s life, either. And yet she&amp;#039;s not making a documentary all about it and lamenting the impact it had on album sales.\u00A0 Thoughts on all of this?
