It's the moment that many of his fans have been waiting for. Chris Brown has released a video publicly apologizing to his former girlfriend Rihanna. Back in June, Chris plead guilty to one count of felony assault, stemming from the February incident where an argument between the former couple turned physical.

"I thought it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry," Chris Brown said in the video. "I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately, I can't. I can not go into what happened and most importantly, I'm not gonna sit here and make any excuses."

Chris says that he wanted to apologize since the incident but his lawyers had advised him not to speak on it. Brown was arrested on Feb. 8 and charged with felony assault. He will be sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community service which he will serve in Virginia. His official sentence is scheduled for August 5. "I'm not gonna sit here and make any excuses," he continued. "I am very sad and very ashamed of what I have done."

Though Brown was ordered not to speak to Rihanna or to be within 50 yards of the pop singer (except at industry events where it is 10 yards), Brown made it clear in the video that prior to the last court hearing he and Rihanna were on some sort of speaking terms. "I have told Rihanna countless times and I am telling you today that I am truly truly sorry that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better," Brown admitted. "I have let a lot of people down and I realize that, and no one is more disappointed in me than I am."

Brown says that he has sought help and is continuing to seek help. Also, look forward to hearing more from Chris on this situation. In the video, he says he will do some interviews and answer some questions in the future.
