Here’s how the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting it:

While stating he was “sorry and saddened … over what transpired,” Brown did not declare any remorse or give any details about the couple’s Feb. 8 confrontation.

”All of us, including Rihanna, don’t understand how he can say he’s sorry on the one hand, but still … does not admit any guilt,” said the source, adding, “He should have expressed more contrition.”

In Los Angeles, a close Rihanna associate — in daily contact with her — told this column Monday the entertainer is ”royally pissed off” by what Rihanna calls Brown’s ”cavalier and arrogant statement.”
