Chris Brown Opens Up About His Time in Jail and How Therapy Helped Him

“Extra’s” Mario Lopez sat down with a very candid Chris Brown to talk about his new album, “X.” No topic was off limits. Chris opened up about his three-month stint in a Los Angeles jail earlier this year on a probation violation, calling it “a humbling experience.”

[@ahmadtillery7372]

I want Chris to go back to this happy healthy focused no drugs but I'm still rocking with you bro. You always have my support Team Breezy. I'm praying for you to get back to this, leave the drugs alone man.

Ahmad Tillery He my dream collaboration

[@nahomandemariam9183]

Good interview

[@jamiemorgan3649]

Chris is so conflicted between God and the worldy things he wants. You can hear it in his music, it's a big struggle for him

[@JL-sv6hg]

No lies told 🙌🏽💯

[@blackberries3615]

Totally Agree

[@adedejiadesida5091]

YH, I pray God finds him soon 🙏

[@SHEG0]

💯💯💯💋👌🏼 Thank u! U got it! That's what's up with this boy! But once u get in, it's hard to come out of it! He has to find something/ someone/a goal to fight for on the opposite side, so he get's there!🍀

[@SHEG0]

​@@adedejiadesida5091Man HE needs to find God again. God Is Not the lost one! Why people always blame god for their mistakes?? Yall should seriously think about that! No front at all, just being real💯

[@marvageez]

Great interview, Mario!!! And Chris, you are still WINNING!!!!!

[@lewisalpha911]

Him talking about getting back in shape reminded me of my journey now of doing the same thing.

[@julianfigueroa3148]

His voice hasn't changed at all just his looks he stills sounds like he's 16

[@milla8826]

Julian Figueroa True but I can tell his voice matured a little

[@misbahailia3345]

But he acts like he's 10

[@Princessofthelake]

Let's take a moment to appreciate Mario Lopez.

[@quemax8811]

Cb a real ass dude hatterz chill bro and get like dude

[@monicariley7240]

i was upset when he was in jail he didnt belong there. i m hundred percent behind him

[@xandershaw7577]

Let's hope you meet a guy who beat you up as bad as he beat Rihanna up then let's see if your saying the same thing to your man as you just said bout that pathetic excuse of a man Chris Brown you will probably still be supporting your man when he in jail

[@andreafoxx7722]

Monica Riley we all are

[@Jayfly500]

Xander Shaw bro Chris brown say sorry to Rihanna At least he meant that shit and u probably don’t meant that shit to your girl fam!!!

[@Lessz959]

I feel like CB is one of the few genuine artist out there when it comes to his personality and the type of music he makes. A lot of rappers/singers portray a certain type of music but in real life they're a totally different person.

[@_cup_of_tea]

What you see is what you get. I love his authenticity so much with his personality and music.

[@blossomjones3193]

Great interview especially when they talked about therapy. He could be a spokesman for mental health... Love you Breezy!❤

[@Keishafromdablockk]

I love Chris! #Teambreezy4life

[@KingNez89]

Mario is such a cool dude. I always liked him from saved by the bell

[@blossomjones3193]

Lol❤👍

[@SoyJayP]

Wow, great interview. He was in a good mood.

[@journeydavidson6697]

people need to stop ganging up on Chris about this whole building Rihanna update because they act like they have never done wrong in life every time Chris Brown comes up they have something to say about what he did to Rihanna no come on now how many years with that ago

[@SteveCarras]

Journey Davidson But the point, JD, is that it STILL HAPPENED regardless of how you slice it (and I have some Ginsu knives and other kinds from my mother's collection in the kitchen only we NEVER lend our knives for that purpose, maybe I can slice it FOR you.:)LOL). I support Rhianna completely.

[@4hunniddegrees737]

Journey Davidson he did it again to karrueche

[@IcyBoyDaLegend]

We've yet to see proof of it. You read shit off the internet & believed it but didn't see proof of it

[@andreafoxx7722]

Journey Davidson ppl cant leave past alone

[@TheCBrownChannel]

Journey Davidson Facts. That's what im saying. Nobody human.

[@valerietesfaye7901]

I love him ❤️

[@jamdibosslady6972]

Mi #1 bae yo #TeamBreezy all day... so proud of him!

[@magathaebai7745]

Chris Brown and Mario Lopez!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@claudiaayesu5624]

LOVE U CHRIS BROWN

[@robynribboncandy]

Yes! Good for you chris. Rise above it and people that are determined to bring you down!

[@juliehall4400]

I see he has grown so much it’s hard because he is put under a microscope… jealous people pointing out his flaws.. loved this interview.

[@geezillcats]

Ohhh that's what X means! Love you Chris!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JG-bi3he]

He got cheated by the system. In reality, both would have gone to jail or walk away. Rihanna hit him first and spit on him because of her jealousy. He took all the punishment. Chris has been treated bad.

[@lbdodgerblue7587]

Great interview!

[@delconteeallmyharmon5526]

Seeing the real Chris Brown is always a special moment not look a likes.

[@4everhyswifey]

Those dimples tho 👌

[@JayySwagg1Hunat]

THOT ALERT👀👀👀

[@4everhyswifey]

Thank you 😘

[@davidar5472]

Those cheekbones though.

[@woutermulder2000]

I’m a true breezy fan so no disrespect or anything. But in every interview, he’s sayin ‘(well) For me’ so often 😂. I think you can hear him say it when you read this. #teambreezy

[@delconteeallmyharmon5526]

It's like the interviewer is not in the room because all my eyes see is Chris Brown.

[@macmula11]

his normal weight is 180? that seems heavy for him. hes pretty skinny

[@Quiselott]

He is like 6'1" or 6'2" though, that's skinny for that height

[@Roccworld_Trizzy12724]

Put it like this im 6'2 149 body size wise u could compare me to wiz august and snoop

[@jmmtecnologias9656]

Chris Brown is king ❤

#ChrisBrownAndMarioLopez🇨🇺

[@DevonteThatDon]

He makes no sense in some way because how is it that he's " he's leaving all the bull, all the negativity, leaving the old person that he used to be" when he's promoting gang violence when he really isn't about that gangsta life? Yo but stay up Chris hope you change for the better my nigga.

[@iliketoeatafricans]

[@eduardodasilva1767]

[@tylijocayaditto529]

[@andreafoxx7722]

Tylijo Cayaditto he one great artist

[@johnanderson4951]

The reason why he's saying that is because he had bet up Rihanna

[@cyangraham4275]

👎 IT. will always be remembered .

[@aniles1989]

Jail is a humbling experience ?

[@JaredDudley24]

it actually could be for some ppl to realize themselves and what they doing wrong

[@naynaynaynaynaynya7481]

It could be humbling because that's the one place you get thrown back to the ground and treated equally

[@IcyBoyDaLegend]

Try fucking up in life & go to jail then see what it does to you

[@aniles1989]

Just a question thanks for the replies :)

[@jesusrules7241]

Are these men wearing lipstick?

[@micharmaine571]

Despite wat you may see on tv jail isnt really that bad. I worked at a jail (not a prison) n the inmates were spoiled!!! (Chris mentioned gaining 35 pounds and that comes from menus that the inmates are allowed to order from, subs, pizza, wings, nachos...etc. So he probably didnt have it hard in jail plus hes a celeb honestly inmates go coocoo over them n do watever for them. Im not saying every jail is the same, however if you do some research you will see just how much of our tax dollars go2 inmates to satisify their needs and wants its astonishing. So im pretty sure while he was in jail he was treated like royalty plus he was in jail in his home town!!! Ijs...........

[@561REALTLK]

you WORKED at a jail you didn`t LIVE at a jail. they might have appeared spoiled but trust me not being able to leave when they got ready is enough to drive a person crazy, that and having to take orders from ppl like you. and chris wasn`t in CLUB FED he was in JAIL.....and its proven 3 squares and exercise can make anyone gain weight. not to mention chris was eating properly before he went in and he was smoking a lot of weed. he gained weight because basically he got on a nutrition plan. if you not eating then suddenly you are eating and exercising you will gain.

[@jamdibosslady6972]

True

[@nameisamine]

I wish he would take some elocution classes and read a thesaurus or something. He comes across unintelligent at times -_- Articulate Chris, ARTICULATE.

[@MCFC248]

All generic bullshit PR answers

[@MBfishboy13]

Damn give the guy a break, at least he is trying to better himself.

[@jfraz1992]

tf u expect him to say? dman lol

[@donnajones3521]

He was speaking the truth shut up stop hating .

[@chrisnoneyabiz4072]

He's a thug. He likes violence. Check out his record. Not his latest music. His arrest record. Assault after assault. That's a thug any way you try to sugar coat it. Money can't buy class
