Chris Brown 'Hires Mel Gibson's Publicist'
Published Wednesday, 18th February, 2009 at 12:34 PM
Chris Brown has reportedly hired the same publicist as Mel Gibson, to ensure his career doesn't flop after he was arrested for an alleged assault earlier in the month.
PR guru Alan Nierob represented the actor in 2006, when he was charged with a DUI (drinking under the influence).
Although he remained in hiding at first, following the alleged attack on girlfriend Rihanna (on February 8), Brown issued a statement about the incident on February 15, where he said: "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired."
"I am seeking the counselling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person."
The R&B star's father Clinton Brown last week said the singer was "remorseful".
Police are still investigating the case and Chris Brown will be attending court next month.
