Chris Brown Denies Not Remembering Rihanna Incident

During a recent interview with Larry King, Chris Brown was asked if he remembered what happened during his attack on Rihanna and he answered, "no." The clip of that piece of the interview was all over the Internet on Monday and now Brown and his handlers are trying to clarify that his response was taken out of context and that he had repeatedly avoided speaking about any details of that fateful night when questioned during the interview.

Instead, Brown claims that he simply misspoke when making another attempt to deflect the same question. Brown made an official statement to People magazine on Monday and this is the gist of that statement: "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."

But if you watch the clip, it's clear that Brown isn't really sure what he's saying and Larry King does ask him a second time if he remembers - and Brown responds with a non-answer. His handlers definitely drilled into him the idea that he shouldn't go into any detail about the event, but Larry's not exactly going to stick to the script, intentionally or not. And whoever thought it was a good idea to have Brown in a bow tie for the interview seems to have lost touch with reality a bit. Why the bow tie? Keep the sweater and the shirt, but the bow tie is downright ridiculous and makes it look like he's "trying" to look pathetic.
