Hey Kids, I am NOT a role model.

We can't seem to keep up with all the Chris Brown/Rihanna beat down updates, as every minute passes there's something new. But this little nugget caught our eye:

Disgraced R&B star Chris Brown has made his first statement following his alleged beating of superstar girlfriend Rihanna - he posted an update on his private Facebook page reading: "You'll begin to see her true colors. Believe it!"

And it seems that the troubled singer has confirmed his split from the Barbadian beauty by changing his relationship status to 'single'.

Brown's comment appears to suggest Rihanna, 20, is partly to blame for the alleged attack which left her with heavy bruising, scratches and bite marks.

I would offer Chris Brown, 19, the same advice I often give my children: sometimes it's better to keep your mouth closed. This would serve him well. I honestly don't care what Rihanna's true colors are, because nothing could justify him hurting her, especially to the extent in which he did. Latest reports state it wasn't the "Umbrella" singer who called police, but a witness who heard her screaming and witnessed the brutal attack which left Rihanna bloodied and beaten. Also compounding the horror of this story is Rihanna alleging Chris choked her so severely she blacked out briefly. Homeboy has some anger issues to say the least, but to even hint that Rihanna played any part in his violent behavior is beyond the pale.

Another report in the NYPost points to previous displays of violent behavior from the R&B star.

"He did have a very mean streak. He was very spoiled. If he didn't get his way, he would fight a lot in school," said Donelle Hawkins, who raised the singing sensation from ages 5 to 12.

"When his mom and dad separated, he got so angry he ran out to the car and took my whole stack of CDs and threw them into the woods like Frisbees," he said.
