In an effort to further milk his publicity stunt and promote his new album, Chris Brown has offered a self-serving apology for his violent outburst on Tuesday’s edition of “Good Morning America.” The R&R star claimed he “had to blow off steam and let out the anger” when questioned on the air about how he beat the crap out of former girlfriend Rihanna two years ago.

In an appearance on the BET show 106 & Park Wednesday, Brown tried to justify breaking a window at the “GMA” studio. “First of all, I just wanna apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed with the way I acted. A lot of people don’t know what went down, and obviously when I do shows or when I do interviews, we always send out a talking point sheet. As the interview proceeded, it was kinda thrown off. I was thrown off by it.” He added, “So yes, I got very emotional, and I wanna apologize for acting like that.”

So he’s such a huge star that he gets to dictate what an interviewer is allowed to ask? Even though he’s only on the show in the first place to pimp his new album? The pimping seems to be working out, since Brown’s new album “F.A.M.E” is headed for the top of the charts. Maybe his fans are willing to forgive and forget after two years, but I doubt anyone who saw that photo of Rihanna’ battered face is ready to.
