It's a good thing Chris Brown's restraining order doesn't extend to cyberspace: The R&B singer Sunday Tweeted "IM SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT," linking to a YouTube video entitled The Way We Used To Be, showing him and ex-girlfriend Rihanna in better times.
Then, the admitted-woman beater dispensed advice for his fanbase, Tweeting: "FOR THE FELLAS: showing emotion doesn't make u weak... BEING HONEST MAKES U STRONG."
Brown, who begins a "fan appreciation" tour Nov. 14, has repeatedly expressed remorse and sorrow over the career-impacting incident in his efforts to win back the public following his brutal beating of the Umbrella singer Feb. 8 in Hancock Park, California. He was sentenced to five years' probation and ordered to do 180 days of community labor as a part of the plea deal he made in June for assaulting the Barbadian superstar; a restraining order issued to Brown orders the Forever singer to keep his distance from her for five years.
