Chris Brown's father came to the defense of his son today, saying the singer is "very remorseful," People reports. "He's reflecting on this situation... and he wants to make sure" that Rihanna is "okay," said Clinton Brown, 44, a corrections officer who lives near Tappahannock, Va. He said Chris is at home, but gave no details: "Let's just say he's home," Clinton said.

"If you are on his side, you are on his side," he added. "Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonize him instantaneously." Clinton called Chris "the light of my life" and said that, as a teen, the singer still has to mature. "He's going to take from this situation and learn from it," he said. (More Chris Brown stories.)
