Brown goes ballistic on ‘GMA’ set

Guess it still is not safe to ask singer Chris Brown about the domestic abuse case involving ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Brown, who was a guest on Good Morning America, went on a rampage on the set Tuesday after anchor Robin Roberts asked the R&B singer about the highly publicized case.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Brown entered his dressing room and started to tear the room apart. ABC News reported that workers in the building called security, but before they arrived Brown smashed a window in his dressing room, “shattering and falling onto 43rd and Broadway.”

New York police were not called to the GMA set.

This rampage could cost Brown more than what he bargained for. If the trashing is considered a crime, the singer could be in violation of his probation, according to the LA Times.

In January, Brown completed a court-mandated domestic violence education program after pleading guilty in August 2009 to felony assault on his former girlfriend Rihanna after a party.

Brown appeared last week on an Atlanta radio show after nude pictures of him surfaced on the Internet. Insiders claim the stunt was aimed to help boost sales of his fourth studio CD, F.A.M.E.

After his rant, Bossip.com reported Brown took to Twitter and showed his disgust for people asking him about his past, referencing how the media “praises Charlie sheen (sic) and others celebrity for their bull****.” The comment was later deleted.

He immediately cleaned up his act on Twitter by thanking his fans for their support during the rough patches: “All my fans !!! This album is for you and only you!!! I’m so tired of everyone else!! Honestly!! I love team breezy!!!”
