Chris Brown is trying hard to make amends

Chris Brown has been, rightfully, one of the most hated figures in Hollywood ever since he beat Rihanna until she was almost unconscious. Before that night he was a guy who everyone generally liked, and since that night he has said time and again how sorry he was and that he would do everything possible to make up for his mistake.

And, apparently, he really meant it.

Brown was in an LA courtroom today to face Judge Patricia Schnegg as he nears the end of his probation, and it’s safe to say she was impressed.

“Of all probationers I’ve ever had, and I’ve had thousands of probationers, no one has ever done a better or more consistent job than you have,” Schnegg said. “And I really want to commend you for taking responsibility, and for actually working diligently to complete all of the things the court has required of you.”
“You’ve done a very good job.”

Well… shit. What can you say. What he did is horrible, and it should follow him forever, but, he’s clearly trying at least. That’s all you can ask out of anybody, right? That’s more than most guys with anger issues do. You know Andy Richter? He has a secret ranch in Mexico where he releases prostitutes, then hunts them down with a bow and arrow. True Story!
