Chris Brown opened up about his assault on former girlfriend Rihanna during the MTV News special "Chris Brown: The Interview" on Friday (November 6), elaborating on his destructive behavior, explaining his previous apologies and describing his ongoing therapy sessions.

Brown told MTV News correspondent Sway that he has finally come to terms with the fact that he was capable of such violence.

"I think you'd be in denial and be totally naive not to," he said. "And not being able to realize and own up to the fact of your own wrongs, I mean, me, I've come to terms with it and I'm working on it. ... For that moment or whatever had me at that place, I want to erase that from what my character is. I want to be totally different from now on. I don't want to be that person."
