"Chris Brown trashed his dressing room at "Good Morning America" and broke a window with a chair Tuesday after co-host Robin Roberts asked him about his attack on Rihanna, according to a person familiar with the show.
The person was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Security was called, but not police.
Brown was on the CBS morning show Tuesday to promote his new album, "F.A.M.E.," released the same day. During his interview with Roberts, she asked him about the 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend — preceding her questions by noting he had been "very good" about talking about the attack.
"It was very serious what you went through and what happened," she said. "How have you been able to ..."
A clearly agitated Brown tried to deflect the line of questioning, saying he was past that and wanted to focus on his new CD.
This album is what I want them to talk about and not what happened two years ago," he said.
Roberts laughed and thanked Brown for letting her discuss that matter with him, and after the interview, Brown performed.
But instead of performing another song for the online audience, as he was scheduled to do, he went to his dressing room and started smashing things, according to the person.
In a statement, ABC News said: "As always, we ask questions that are relevant and newsworthy, and that's what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown."
Reps for Brown did not immediately return phone calls for comment. Brown is on probation for his assault on Rihanna.
Brown has been trying to rehabilitate his image since the attack, which occurred on the eve of the Grammys two years ago. After that, his once brilliant career was tarnished. His album "Graffiti," released several months after that, was a poor seller.
However, he's recently had success on the charts with the songs "Deuces," a No. 1 R&B hit last year, and "Look At Me Now" is currently No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart."
Side Bar ~ This is so sad ... I so hope theirs more to this story... If business execs give him a break like they do "Charlie Sheen" every damn time, then he's good to go. But, I think he truly has pissed some people off with his antics!
Breezy let's pray execs don't pull a Evelyn Lozada and say . . . "You were a non-motherfu*king factor bitch"!
Because, truly Breezy you will be blowing in the wind!
THIS IS AFTER THE SHOW GMA
have i made it over to there yet?
ReplyDeleteIt hasnt been confirmed yet GMA said they arent sure who broke the window there were several people with him. and if this was him TRUST they would have arrested him by now
ReplyDeletethey confirm that he has been arrested at this moment
ReplyDeletehmmmmm again
ReplyDeleteyeeees
ReplyDeleteHmmm, somethin' about this interview rubbed me the wrong way... I just think his PR people need to coach him on how to be a little more humble. Umm you know that performance on Dancing with Stars coming up next week Breezy. Yeah, I have a feelin' they will not be welcoming you! However, I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteEven if it wasn't him...get ur entourage in check . . . You know they come for the star.
ReplyDeleteIts basically his ego needs to be checked in accordance..I mean really GMA..who does that..He got that tiger blood
ReplyDeleteHe needs medicine or psychological help ... and get rid of his whole team and get some people who will keep it real with his crazy ass. Who is he to think no one EVER will ask that question? SMART PEOPLE IN HIS CAMP would have contracts drawn in advance to NOT ASK HIM ABOUT THAT and if they did, all agreements and committments end on the spot. If they had did that .... he could have walked off the show and not performed and ABC would be doing damage control ..... these young Divas need to get off their glamour bus and start respecting and rolling with the Originals.
