In a statement addition to his MTV interview, which was taped on Monday, he said, “While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8th, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us.”

He then tempered his remarks, adding, “I do appreciate her (Rihanna) support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did and I accept accountability for my actions.At this point I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong.”

I met Jon in a bubble. I’d never seen the show. I had no idea. People judge me before they meet me. I get threats everyday. I get called a home wrecker and a fat whore. People will stare or point. It gets worse everyday.

I don’t want to leave him all alone. At the end of the day, I love him but I dislike him at times. When I love someone I would never hurt them.”
