Chris Brown let loose, in a more euphoric way, at his album release party after his 'GMA' outburst.For Chris Brown, it seems there's nothing a good party can't fix.
The singer's album release party at Webster Hall went on as planned Tuesday, allowing Brown to party his troubles away hours after his violent outburst at "Good Morning America."
Brown, who stormed off the set and broke a window after an interview with Robin Roberts focused more on his volatile past with ex-girlfriend Rihanna than his new album "F.A.M.E," sang and watched in awe as women danced around him in lingerie.
The only thing the party seemed to have in common with his raucous morning was that Brown was shirtless at times, wearing a jacket with nothing underneath. His skin glistened with sweat just as it had when he left "GMA" that morning shirtless after his meltdown.
Brown also spent the hours after his explosion playing basketball, visiting an art gallery, indulging in a private dinner party in celebration of his album and walking hand-in-hand with an unidentified lady friend.

He still seemed to be in good spirits Wednesday during an appearance on BET's "106 & Park," but turned serious when he spoke about his actions at "GMA."
"I'm great," he said when the co-hosts asked how he was doing. "Actually as you can see after the incident, you saw me out with my people, just trying to enjoy life and enjoy this experience of having my album out."
"I just think yesterday ? first of all, I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really looked disappointed in my actions because I was disappointed in the way I acted," Brown said.
"You know, a lot of people don't really know what went down. When I do shows, when I do interviews, we always send out like a talking points sheet," he explained, "and if the network or whoever isn't compliant with what we want to do so we can equally accomplish our goals, we usually kind of back out and wait until it's a better situation."

"So when we did this event, everything was cool. We were supposed to perform. The talking points were positivity, creative and everything that was sent to me. It was about the album, that's what we were talking about," Brown claimed.
"So as the interview proceeded, I was thrown off by ? I felt like it was ?okay, they told us this just so they could get us on the show, to exploit me,' that's what I thought," he said. "So I took it very, very hard. I kind of kept my composure throughout the whole interview, although you could see me upset. I kept my composure, did my performance."
"And when I got back, I just like let off steam in the back. I didn't physically hurt anyone. I didn't try to hurt anyone," Brown said. "I just wanted to release just the anger that I had inside me because I felt like I worked so hard for this music and I love my fans and I love being able to make positive music that I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from, take it away from me."

"So, yes, I got very emotional and I apologize for acting like that," he said. "And I wanna tell Team Breezy as well, if you love me, if you love the whole movement we're doing, all the music I'm putting out, please, please know that everybody is beautiful. You're beautiful."
"Robin Roberts," he added, "do not send any threats [to her] because I've been hearing stuff over Twitter. We don't need that. We as a movement move as positive people. We love everybody. Us, as a generation of kids and adults, we need to take a stand and be more positive and kind of focus on the real issues in life and the real positive side of things."
In a statement, ABC News refuted part of Brown's explanation, saying, "Chris Brown was invited on 'Good Morning America' to perform and to be interviewed. There were no talking points offered."
Roberts, who had interviewed Brown in the past, maintained that "even right before the interview," she went over with him what they would discuss.
An invitation for Brown to return to the show still stands.
