(Newser) – Chris Brown breaks the silence on his alleged assault on Rihanna with a YouTube confessional posted today, E! reports. “I felt it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry,” the singer said, explaining that he had remained silent since the February incident on the advice of his attorney.

“I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can’t,” Brown said. “What I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very ashamed at what I’ve done. My mother and my spiritual leaders taught me better than that. No one is more disappointed in me than I am.”

Said too little, and way too late. Go away and live your life far from humans. Any person who buys any product you produce is nuts. Of course you could record songs such as "It Only Hurts for a Little While," "I've Got a Crush on You," "Don't Blame Me," "Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar," "I'm Bad," and "I've Got to Be Me." I hope TMZ never shows your face again--you pathetic loser.
