Chris Brown finally speaks

After more than a week and a silence that did nothing to dull the rumours, Chris Brown finally releases a statement about the Rihanna incident...

However in the statement he didn't mention Rihanna or the alleged violence that took place last Saturday, instead he said,

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."

What do you think - was this heartfelt or is he simply bowing to media pressure?
