Chris and Rihanna ... its not as bad

Chris is all right. He's a good kid. He feels very bad that something like this has happened," his longtime wardrobe stylist Mike B. tells PEOPLE.

Another friend echoes that sentiment, telling PEOPLE, "You can tell everybody that Chris really feels bad about the whole situation, about it coming out the way that it happened, the way he went about it, the way she went about it ... it's just a wack situation."

As for what really happened, the friend says the story is "not as bad as everybody is trying to gas it up to be."
