Brown had agreed to talk about his past on "Good Morning America" Tuesday and was aware that questions would be asked about his domestic abuse incident involving his ex-girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna.
"Any time we have a guest cable ties here on the program, we let them know ahead of time the subject matter, the topics that we're going to discuss and we, even right before the interview, I said that to Chris and I was shocked like everybody else was," Roberts said today on "GMA."

Brown has been invited to return to "GMA" and is seriously considering the offer.

"Not really," Brown said. "It's not a big deal to me as far as that situation. ... This album is what I want to focus on and not something that happened two years ago."

Roberts said that she thought Brown was joking when he tried to redirect the interview to discuss his new album, "F.A.M.E."

"You saw me laughing during the interview because when he was doing that, I thought he was joking about some things because of the easy relationship that we have," Roberts said.

On BET, Brown said he had a different impression of the interview's ground rules.

"I felt like, 'OK, they told us this just so they can get us on the show so they can exploit me.' You know, that's what I thought," Brown said. "I kind of took it very, very hard. And I kept my composure throughout the interview, although you could see me upset, you know. I kept my composure and did my performances, and when I got back, I just let off, like, steam in the back."
