While making his second visit to BET’s 106 & Park this week, R&B crooner Chris Brown spoke about the incident that occurred Tuesday morning while visiting Good Morning America. The R&B crooner, who says he’s “great,” kicked things off with a public apology when asked about the situation by host Terrence and Rocsi:
“First and foremost I want to Apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really was disappointed at my actions because I was disappointed in the way I acted,” Brown says. “You know, a lot of people don’t know what went down. You know obviously when I do shows or when I do interviews we always send out like a talking points sheet. If the network or whoever isn’t compliant with what we wanna do so we can equally accomplish a goal, we usually kind of back out and wait till a better situation.”
Brown adds, “When we actually did this event, everything was cool, we were supposed to perform, the talking points were about positivity, creative and everything that was sent to meâ¦it was about the album. So as the interview proceededâ¦I was thrown off by it, I felt like they told us this to get us on the show to exploit meâ¦that’s what I thought, so I took it very very hard. I kinda kept my composer throughout the whole interview, even though you could see me upset and when I got back, I just like let off steam in the back. I didn’t physically hurt anyone, I didn’t try to hurt anyway, I just wanted to release the anger that I had inside of me because I felt like I worked so hard for this music and I love my fans and I love to be able to make positive music that I felt like people were trying to take away from me.”
“Yes I got very emotional and I apologize for acting like that. And I want to tell Team Breezy as well, If you love me, if you love the whole movement that we’re doing, all the music that I’m putting out, please know that everybody is beautiful, your beautiful, Robin Robertsâ¦do not send any threats because I’ve been hearing stuff over Twitterâ¦we don’t need that, we as a movement move as positive people, we love everybody.”
“Us as a generation of kids and adults, we need to take a stand and be more positive and kinda focus on the real issues in life.”

Chris Brown has been in the public eye since his meteoric rise to fame, but he’s recently made headlines for all of the wrong reasons. After an explosive outburst on Good Morning America last week that led to a broken window at the GMA studio and caused much controversy, Chris Brown has issued an official apology and addressed the incident publicly. In this article, we’ll look at what happened during Brown’s appearance on GMA and his subsequent response – as well as how Team Breezy is responding.
The events of Tuesday March 22nd began with a seemingly normal interview between ABC host Robin Roberts and R&B singer/dancer Chris Brown about his new album ‘FAME.’ However, things quickly changed when Roberts asked him about his past legal trouble stemming from assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. After becoming visibly agitated by the question, he abruptly left the stage mid-interview without explanation. But it didn’t end there – moments later, viewers heard loud noises coming from backstage which were later revealed to be from a shattered window pane in the dressing room area.
Now days after the incident, Chris Brown has spoken out about what happened that day at Good Morning America. He admits that he became “very emotional” over being asked questions related to his past mistakes, claiming that they weren’t relevant to why he was there – promoting his latest album ‘FAME’ – and had nothing to do with current issues or topics surrounding him today. He also issued an apology directly following the meltdown via Twitter while addressing both fans and detractors alike who have taken issue with what occurred that morning. Finally, many members of ‘Team Breezy’ (Brown’s legion of dedicated fans) are standing behind their idol despite recent events – so let’s take a closer look into what exactly transpired leading up to these developments.
Reason For Apology
I’d like to start by apologizing for my recent actions on Good Morning America. I understand how inappropriate, disrespectful and unacceptable it was. It all happened because of a misunderstanding that caused me to be caught off guard which resulted in an emotional response from me.
I want to make sure everyone knows I had no intention of disrespecting GMA or anyone affiliated with the show. Even though I wasn’t aware at first of what happened during the interview, once I found out about it later on, I felt embarrassed and ashamed. For this reason, I’m truly sorry and take full responsibility for my behavior.
My fans know who I am and have been very supportive throughout my career; they deserve better than what they saw today. Moving forward, I plan on using this situation as motivation to become a better role model so that others can learn from my mistakes.
Response To Fans
I understand that many of my fans, especially the younger ones, look up to me and I want them to know that it’s not ok for anyone to act in such a disrespectful manner. I realize now how important it is for people in the public eye, like myself, to be aware of their actions at all times.
To everyone who was affected by my conduct on GMA – team breezy included – please accept my sincerest apology. You guys have been with me through thick and thin, and I’m sorry if I let you down.
Going forward, I plan on being more mindful of what words and actions come out of me so as not to offend or upset anyone further. In addition, I am personally taking steps to ensure this kind of incident does not happen again. With your continued support, there should be no stopping from here!
Conclusion
I apologize to everyone for my behavior on Good Morning America. It was completely out of character and inappropriate. I understand that it caused a lot of people pain and embarrassment, and for that I am truly sorry.
To all of my fans who have supported me throughout the years: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are an important part of why I do what I do, and your loyalty means everything to me. Moving forward, I will strive to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Your trust in me is something I take very seriously, and it’s not something I’m willing to risk over anything else.
Finally, Team Breezy – we’ve been through a lot together! We’re family, and no matter what comes our way we’ll always be here for each other. As long as we stay strong together there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. Let’s keep pushing forward and showing the world just how powerful love can be!
