Chris Brown's biological dad, Clinton Brown, has spoken out for the first time since his son's arrest, saying his son is at home and very concerned with the situation.

Chris Brown's biological dad, Clinton Brown, has spoken out for the first time since his son's arrest, telling People that his son is "at home, reflective and filled with concern." "He's reflecting on this situation," Clinton says in an interview with People at his home outside Tappahannock, Va.

He also reveals that Chris wants to make sure that Rihanna is fine. "He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] okay," Clinton tells People. "This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation. Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip."

And Clinton insists there are "two sides to every story". "If you are on his side, you are on his side," he says. "Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonize him instantaneously."

"Let's just say he's home," Clinton continues. The 44-year-old father says he spoke to Chris in person on February 12. But he refuses to give more details of Chris' whereabouts, "Just know that he's home. He needed some time to get his thoughts together and regroup."

And Clinton worries about the public backlash following his son's alleged assault, saying, "This music industry is very unforgiving when it comes to having indiscretions." He adds, "He will continue to be a good person. He loves people. And like most of us, most humans, things will occur. And hopefully a person won't be judged simply on that alone."

"He had plenty of friends. All the kids gravitated to Chris," Clinton says of Chris. "As a father, I couldn't be more proud ... He's the light of my life," he continues."I think he's [going to] grow as an individual. He's going to take from this situation and learn from it."
