By now you’ve probably already heard about Chris Brown’s explosive Good Morning America temper tantrum (if not click HERE).

Apparently, GMA host Robin Roberts is catching flack for asking Chris tough questions about Rihanna that set off his outburst but Robin assures the world that Chris Brown and/or his camp actually APPROVED her questions prior to the set.

Roberts insists both she and other “GMA” staff members spoke with Chris before the interview and asked if it would be OK to fire off “a few questions” about the Rihanna incident … and Chris approved.

Robin is telling people at the show she did NOT try to set him up … and insists, “I’m pulling for the guy.” (source)

Robin, who just joined the social networking scene a few days ago, tweeted about the incident:

OK… so now that it’s been verified Chris wasn’t a “victim,” I wonder what his comeback will be.

Stay tuned…
