Chris Brown has publicly apologised for his beating of Rihanna.
Brown has released a two-minute video on his website apologising to fans and saying he is sad and ashamed of his conduct. He also says on the video that he has repeatedly apologised to Rihanna.
Brown was arrested on February 8 and later charged with assault likely to cause great bodily harm. He pleaded guilty to the assault charge last month and faces sentencing on August 5.
He is slated to serve five years of probation and perform six months of community labour.
Brown says on the video he wanted to speak out earlier, but was advised not to by his lawyer.
The 20-year-old calls his actions "unacceptable."
