I honestly feel sorry for Chris. True, throwing a temper tantrum over something you should have moved on from is never a good idea, but the world needs to move on, this is old, stale tea.
If it's old, stale tea, why is he breaking windows?
1) The "Reporter" - this bitch was either trying to sabotage him knowing his album is coming out today (like she had so much to talk to him about with the album and everything without bringing up Rihanna) or is really that ****** of a reporter that this was all she could figure out to get some ratings. Pathetic
2) Chris' dumb ass - I'm bout to go on a Tyra style rant about "WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!"...like you have so much talent, so many dedicated fans, and have clawed your way back up. And you are going to let something like this, that you REALLY should have under control and have a specific strategy for...I mean how does he not know who to deal with this by now?!, make you not only walk out (this would have been fine on its own), but then you have to get all ghetto and take your shirt off, stare someone down, and break a window? YOU ARE ****ING UP YOUR CHANCES!!!
And all of this on the DAY your album comes out...well maybe he will get enough press off of this that ppl will check out the album. Starting to doubt even myself if he deserves it at this point though
I definitely understand his frustrations when people keep asking him about the Rihanna thing, but his frustrations show in his interviews, and that makes it harder for those naysayers to get back on his side and support him. He should know that there are people who have not forgotten about what happened two years ago. He should have answered it a better way.
Chris should also be lucky that his career was able to recover from controversy because some artists weren't so lucky.
Some people never change. It's sad, because I was really starting to believe he had changed. I don't even feel sorry for him that they asked those questions. He is the one who did that to Rihanna, so therefore the least he can do is suffer through a few questions about it. He needs to seriously grow up.
I could see his point if this was like ten years from now and people were still interviewing him about it, but it's not. It's still fresh in most people's memories, so he needs to consistently prove that he has learned from the experience rather than just trying to shove it in the closet and hope people forget (because they aren't any time soon). Having a violent outburst is just about the worst possible reaction he could have because it shows he has a habitual problem with anger.

I completely agree with you! And you made alot of really great points. That incident was just two years ago, so I don't know why he acts like it was decades ago. People still bring up Britney's head shaving incident from four years ago all the time, when mentioning her comeback and career in general. It's one of those things that will forever haunt his career, and him having these violent outbursts is just making it seem worse. He's a grown man now, he can't be having these little fits whenever someone brings it up. It's situations like this that make me worry about the next girl he dates, and if he's really changed at all.

THIS!!
It's not enough to say he's changed, he has to prove it, and how the hell is he gonna do that if he is still flying into rages in public?!

Asked about it, yes. But the reporter was PRESSING him about it...like imagine if you worked so hard to get your fans back, got some hits finally, and then got to the point you are getting invited back to talk shows to promote an album you are so proud of the day of release. Then they keep slapping you with the same negativity when you were expecting to talk about your new music. I absolutely understand why he was mad, and I would have walked out too.
He did a preinterview, he knew the questions were coming. End of story. You either don't do the interview or you go do the interview, get the damn promotion, and answer the questions like a man.
I haven't seen the interview yet, but I get why he is upset. My brother is the same way. You get tired of people bringing up the **** you did like bringing it up all the damn time is going to change what happened.
Does anybody know if this really happened? Nvm people are going to believe it anyway Just because. People need to let him move on, he has a new girlfriend that he seems to really like, he might loose her.

THIS! I agree with every single word. He knew the questions were coming. He could have either answered them, or politely said "I'm not here to talk about that, next question please". It's that simple.
