Chris Brown Snaps During ‘Good Morning America’ Interview, Allegedly Breaks Studio Window

Chris Brown may need a few more anger management lessons.

Even though a Los Angeles judge has commended him for turning his life around since pleading guilty to felony assault in 2009, the R&B artist had a massive meltdown at the “Good Morning America” studios in Manhattan on Tuesday.

Brown, 21, became angered during his live interview with co-host Robin Roberts, who asked repeated questions about his domestic violence incident with Rihanna, even though he was there to promote his new album, “F.A.M.E.,” which was released on Tuesday.

Brown reportedly then took off his shirt and confronted a “GMA” producer before leaving the building and skipping a planned second performance, which was to air on the “GMA” website.

Brown tried to redirect all the Rihanna questions from Roberts by talking about his new album.

According to TMZ, Roberts insists that both she and other “GMA” staff members asked Brown pre-interview if he would be okay with being asked “a few questions” about Rihanna. Brown reportedly agreed, however apparently changed his mind soon after.

A short time after his exit, Brown took to his Twitter account to express his displeasure over the interview and thank his fans for their continued support.

“I’m so over people bringing this past sh-t up!!!” he tweeted. “Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there [sic] bullsh-t!”

Roberts has yet to officially comment on the incident, however the host made a slight reference on her new Twitter account.

“Sure has been an interesting AM @GMA. Still sorting thru everything myself. Just my 2nd day on twitter, wonder what tomorrow will bring?” she wrote.

A rep for Brown has yet to comment on the matter.

After the interview, Brown allegedly took his rage out in his dressing room, where he yelled loud enough to warrant a visit from security and broke a window. Shattered glass fell onto 43rd St. and Broadway, reported TMZ.com, which posted a picture of the smashed window.
