Brown apologizes for behavior at 'GMA'
Chris Brown apologized for his dressing-room rampage after his "Good Morning America" interview with Robin Roberts Tuesday, but blamed the show for making him so angry.
"First of all, I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed in the way I acted," he said on BET's "106 & Park" music program Wednesday night.
But, he added, Roberts instigated it when she asked questions that weren't approved "talking points."
Brown said when Roberts asked about the recently relaxed order of protection that was issued after he pleaded guilty to beating pop-star Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, in 2009, "I was thrown off by it."
But, "I really kind of kept my composure. . . . Although you could see me upset, I kept my composure [and] did my [scheduled musical] performance."
Afterward, however, "I just let off steam in the back. I didn't physically hurt anyone, I didn't try to hurt anyone. I just wanted to release the anger that I had inside me because I felt like I worked so hard for this music and . . . I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from me. So, yes, I got very emotional and I apologize."
Roberts said on Wednesday's "GMA" that the show does let guests "know ahead of time the subject matter, the topics that we're going to discuss."
Specifically, added ABC News in a statement, "Chris Brown was invited on 'Good Morning America' to perform and to be interviewed. There were no talking points offered."
Brown asked his fans not to threaten Roberts. "Do not send any threats," he pleaded, "because I been hearing stuff over Twitter."
