14 DAY TRIAL // Chris Brown is, as everyone must already know by now, finally speaking out about the February incident, when he brutally attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna and left her almost unconscious as the police were on their way. He started off with a Larry King interview, where he described the whole occurrence as still unbelievable, since it went completely against his character, and probably more sit-downs of the kind are to follow.
There is one person, though, who will not have Brown on her couch anytime soon, if the latest statement is any indication in this sense. Following what Brown told the media about one of Oprah’s shows, the queen of television herself (also known as the Big O) has publicly reprimanded the singer, telling him he’d better get the help he needs fast and learn to stop mixing between business and aspects of the personal life.
It all started, as TMZ says, with one of Oprah’s shows, where she took the Brown-Rihanna incident to speak against domestic violence. Brown was not happy about it and he told People magazine about that, saying that Oprah should have treated him with more respect and even friendliness, especially since he took time out to perform at one of her charities. But Oprah is not so easily intimidated. “Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.” a statement released to TMZ reads.
“I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.’” Brown said of Oprah’s show, the comment that drew the public reprimand. This is not the first time that the hitmaker insists the night in question and everything that followed afterwards was hell to him, having already told Larry King the Rihanna scandal “was one of the worst moments of my life.”
As a matter of fact, this has been so bad that not even now is he able to believe what he has done. Such temper tantrums went against his nature, Brown told King, which was why he was filled with remorse and regret for that horrible outburst. “I was just so disappointed [of myself]. When I look at it [the leaked police photo of Rihanna] now, I can’t believe that actually happened. I’m in shock, that’s not who I am as a person. When I see the police reports, when I hear what happened, I don’t know what to think. It’s crazy to me.” Brown explained on CNN’s Larry King.
