Chris Brown whined to Vibe about how Oprah Winfrey treated him after he assaulted Rihanna saying, “I didn’t get a call from them or anything. I felt embarrassed, but at the same time I felt stabbed in the back.”

He continues: “Ok, Oprah you have so much power and people really listen to what you say. You don’t know anything that went down and you jump to conclusions and start bringing people on the set that have no similarities to me other than a domestic dispute. And then compare them to me when she’s around me and knows me. She could have called me and been like, ‘Chris, let me get you on my show and I’m going to do this kind of segment.’” As for BET: “The BET Awards was horrible. I was watching it, holding my face like, ‘Oh my God this is wack’… They were so bent on not getting me there that they messed up their own show.” The new issue, which mark’s Vibe’s relaunch, features Chris on one cover and Drake (who was linked to Rihanna in May) on the other.
