Well he doesn't do a very fine job in changing people's perception of him as one. The more he talks, and the more he shies away from owning up to what he did, the more he does indeed appear to be a monster.
And I loooooovvvvveeeedddd the part of the interview where Rihanna watched his half-hearted, inarticulate apology and said what everyone with half a brain said all around the world. "It seems like he was reading from some sort of a prompter."
I think Rih-Rih conducted herself wonderfully throughout the interview. She was honest, concise, and mindful of the equally destructive role she played in all of that. I'm still not a fan of her as a musician but she definitely won some major cool points from me in the human department. Even if this was interview was staged for publicity and sympathy for her new album, I applaud her for executing it like a real star is supposed to. And not like some insincere, mush-mouthed, girl-beating, ghetto snipe like some other people we know.
So much for his career.
I was thrilled that she adressed that in the interview and called it what it was. Plain ignorance.
Anyone (male or female) who thinks it's okay for a guy nearly 6 feet, 200 pounds to violently attack a woman non-stop is ignorant. Simple as that, you're an ignorant ass fool and too many words shouldn't be wasted in your direction explaining to you why a man beating a girl half-to-death is wrong no matter what.
