Chris Brown was affected by the clip of Rihanna being interviewed by Oprah.
A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Chris saw the video clip. Of course
he saw it, how do you think he feels? He feels horrible he did that. Watching
[Rihanna's interview with Oprah] made him realize he made a big mistake and
he’s been paying for it ever since. He’s working hard, in the studio,
dancing, doing everything he can to rebuild his name and career and I think
he been successful in doing all that. Y’all should be talking about his
road to recovery and how he’s been a man and made s–t right. He and
Ri are cool, more cool than anyone will know. She forgave the [boy] the minute
that s–t went down, so what that say about their relationship?”
A source tells RADAR Online, "Chris is just confused about Rihanna's decision
to bring up the past again and again — this time in an interview with Oprah.
Rihanna has previously given wide ranging interviews about the beating to Diane
Sawyer and several print magazines. Chris just doesn't think it's productive
or relevant to rehash the events since essentially nothing new is being revealed
in the interview Rihanna has done with Oprah. Chris doesn't begrudge Rihanna
at all for talking about it but he thinks that in order for them to both move
forward and not be defined by that one night, it would be better to stop bringing
it up."
Here is the video of Rihanna talking about it to Oprah:
