Roberts had previously interviewed the 22 year old at his home back when the incident occurred, but as she mentioned the subject to Brown he responded;
"It's not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. Today's the album day, so that's what I'm focused on."
Wonder if Rih Rih would agree it's no big deal?!
Brown has managed to re-build his career and hold on to a fair few fans despite the assault against his ex, but is it really a good idea to project a message that he thinks an act of domestic violence is 'no big deal'?...Probably not Chris!
When asked about the current situation regarding his restraining order being 'relaxed' he replied;
"This album is what I want people to hear and people to really get into, so definitely this (*raised voice*) ALBUM is what I want them to talk about and not stuff that happened two years ago."
Two years isn't really a significant amount of time, even in celeb-land where today's Justin Bieber is tomorrow's Jason Donovan. It's unrealistic for Chris Brown to expect his court case to be so easily forgotten. Album or no album, fans or no fans.
If his blunt interview wasn't enough, Chris then committed a major error in having what I'd like to describe, as a 'rage out' in his dressing room. Sigh.
After performing a track from his new album, the pent up fella stormed back to his dressing room, slammed the door and began to scream while security were urged to step in as he trashed the place. Sigh.
You'd imagine that Chris would then leave the building quietly and unnoticed, right? Wrong! He opted for ripping his t-shirt off and
Things have been going OK for the 'Crawl' singer lately, he has a new album out, fans have stuck by him and he's even befriended the Almighty Biebs, so bad press like this will only make his image take a step back.
A few hours after the interview, Roberts (pictured below) updated her Twitter to read "Sure has been an interesting AM @GMA. Still sorting thru everything myself. Just my 2nd day on twitter, wonder what tomorrow will bring?”
I'll give him the Charlie Sheen comment but he was still out of line.
ABC News later released a statement regarding the interview;
"As always, we ask questions that are relevant and newsworthy, and that's what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown."
Fair point!
I wonder if CB will be able to hold on to his slot to perform on ABC's Dancing With The Stars next week...? He may have made a few more enemies he'll need to forget.
