Hip-Hop Artist Chris Brown Flips Out After ABC Interview, Allegedly Smashes Window

Hip hop and R&B artist Chris Brown has a temper that has got him in felony trouble before. It seems it’s flared up again in Midtown Manhattan.

Brown was on ABC’s “Good Morning America” today to promote his new album, F.A.M.E. And while host Robin Roberts did want to talk about the album, she also wanted an update on Brown’s infamous beating of his former girlfriend and fellow singer, Rihanna. Apparently, the restraining order in that case has been “relaxed,” and Roberts wanted to know if the two had run into each other. That seems fair enough, and in video of the interview Brown calmly deflected the question:

But the calm Brown eventually gave way to the beat-your-girlfriend Brown according to reports. The gold standard of Hollywood gossip, TMZ, reports Brown got so upset about being asked about Rihanna, he went back to his dressing room and lost it:

We’re told after the interview, Brown freaked out, storming into his dressing room and screaming so loud, the people in hair and makeup became alarmed and called security.

We’re told Brown was out of control, and one source present tells us he smashed a window in his dressing room, and the glass shattered and some shards fell onto 43rd and Broadway.  ABC security tells TMZ … the window was shattered with a chair.

We’re told by the time security rushed the area, Brown had ripped off his shirt and left the building, blowing off another performance he was supposed to do for the ABC website.

And sources say … on his way out of the building, Brown confronted a segment producer, got in his face and stared him down.   People from the show got in between Chris and the producer to diffuse the situation.

TMZ later backed off on the chair claim, but it did capture a glass worker repairing the window:

Interestingly enough, sources tell TMZ that Roberts approved her interview questions about Rihanna beforehand. ABC, in a photo caption on its website, confirms Brown “stormed off the set” and flew “into a rage.”

The website INFdaily.com captured Brown leaving the ABC studio shirtless, and coupled it with a shot of the shattered window:

After the show, Brown reportedly tweeted the now-deleted message, “I’m so over people bringing this past sh** up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bullsh**!” He is currently on probation after he pleaded guilty to beating Rihanna.

    I hate to admit it but I heard about this story on the View today. Sherry Shepard got really offended when she heard a reporter calling Chris Brown a “thug”. Since Chris brown is black she thought it was a racist remark since the media has never once called Charlie Sheen a thug.

    Just another worthless court jester with an overblown idea of self worth. Yea, I said it “Court Jester”. That is all most of these celebrity types are. Glorified court jesters. It is the dumbed down population that grovel at their feet and throw money at them which is the cause of their egocentric overblown idea of self worth. Let’s see how long they make it in the real world “not the false world they have made for themselves” when throwing juvenile temper tantrums. They make me sick. Fools with millions of dollars throwing temper tantrums like two year olds. Our society really is over you know. I don’t think any society can come back after sinking so far into depravity as this one has. Oh well, it was great while it lasted. Too bad so many of us slept until the time for action had long passed. America should have awakened when McCarthy announced that there were communists in Hollywood. Now we’re a nation of fools kept pacified by the antics of juvenile court jesters. Sad, very sad.

      VIZ: I mean no disrespect but I am not inspired by your analysis.

      You don’t agree with his actions but you… “understand?” Sounds like Chris Rock’s OJ Simpson murder comedy sketch.

      You condemn this punk for the “fit” he threw but you “understand” why he threw the fit? Some how you disconnect his current ego-fit from his past ego-fit. Do you think that because he‘s answered that question before that it’s okay for him to turn into a savage pekinese peeing on itself any time he’s reminded that he is a jerk?

      No woman and no window is safe around this maniac. Do you NOT see that?

      But VIZ- where do you actually draw your lines? Do you think that if we ignore and forgive these little “fits” thrown by ignoramuses they will just go away? Take a little time when you analyze. Think about the situation.

      Then take a position or don’t take up space.

      While watching Brown’s interview with Robin this morning, I was thinking that he’s still the same arrogant little creep that beat up Rihanna, that nothing’s changed …

      The good thing about him being on GMA and the gals on The View discussing his behavior is;
      it’s the parents who are watching those shows! I’ll bet those parents [hopefully] went into their teens’ rooms, confiscated everything Chris Brown, smashed it all, tossed the pieces in the trash and explained to their kids why.

      The little thug not only shattered a window, he shattered his career. Brown better get a grip and grow up or he could find himself in prison …

I wonder if anyone walking on the street below was injured from the falling glass.. Oh well, he’s a star, right? He can do whatever he wants. Any woman that actually thinks this man is going to quit abusing woman are in for a big surprise. Fame will fuel his outbursts even more.
