Usher Raymond has jumped into the Chris Brown and Rihanna assault debate — a clear week after his celebrity pals decided it was wiser to butt out than suffer their own backlash, the R&B singer pointed out that some may have found recent pictures of Brown sunning and Jet-skiing on holiday so soon after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend (‘Umbrella’ singer Rihanna) a little distasteful.
According to NecoleBitchie.com the singer had a video posted up where he made the comments, but as soon as he realised it was a PR booboo to comment negatively about a fellow celebrity he hastily took the clip down and issued a retraction.
Says the singer, according to NY Daily News:
“The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved.”

That’s one damn hawt picture of Usher!!!
He knows he meant what he said, it’s sad that he apologized. Preach it, Usher!
He so meant it, sucks he was forced to retract (it reads kinda forced).
[...] Usher was right the first time about Chris Brown -AmyGrindhouse [...]
glad i’,m not the on;y one that thoguht it was a bit not right for them to be getting photoed while this whole ting is still fresh in everyone’s mind (mainly becuse folks won’t shut up about it)
I hear the pair got married and Rihanna may be preggers. This may get more ridiculous yet.
