Chris Brown Rages After TV Interview

NEW YORK (CBS4) -- Chris Brown reportedly launched into a violent rage after his interview on "Good Morning America" Tuesday.

A person familiar with the show says the 21-year-old R&B singer trashed his dressing room and broke a window with a chair after co-host Robin Roberts asked him about his attack on Rihanna.

The person was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Security was called, but not police.

Brown was on "GMA" Tuesday to promote his new album, "F.A.M.E.," released the same day. During his interview with Roberts, she asked him about the 2009 Grammy eve assault on his then-girlfriend. An agitated Brown tried to deflect the questions and said: "I'm past that in my life."

After the interview, Brown performed.

Reps for Brown did not immediately return phone calls for comment. Brown was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor in 2009 for his assault on Rihanna. A judge recently commended his probation progress and eased his restraining order which prohibited him from having any contact with Rihanna.
