Chris Brown has spoken for the first time about his angry outburst at the ‘Good Morning America’ studios this week. The singer reportedly stormed off the set, breaking a window with a chair before leaving the studio topless after an interviewer persisted in asking him questions about his assault of Rihanna in 2009.
Speaking to BET’s New York radio show ‘106 & Park’, the singer said: "First of all, I just wanna apologise to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed with the way I acted.
He continued: "A lot of people don't know what went down, and obviously when I do shows or when I do interviews, we always send out a talking point sheet. As the interview proceeded, it was kinda thrown off. I was thrown off by it. I felt like they told us this just so they could get us on the show so they can exploit me.
"So I took it very, very hard and I really kinda kept my composure throughout the whole interview, although you can see me upset, I kept my composure, I did my performance. And when I got back (stage) I just let off steam. 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 that 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 wanna apologise for acting like that."
ABC, the network behind ‘Good Morning America’, offered a statement on the claims today. They said: "Chris Brown was invited on Good Morning America to perform and to be interviewed. There were no talking points offered."
