GMA Books Chris Brown After Canceling Adam Lambert
ABC’s Good Morning America is under fire for booking Chris Brown for an interview and performance, on the heels of canceling Adam Lambert.
Gay activists and feminists are outraged that the network has no problem with having Brown — convicted of felony assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna, on the morning show, while banning Lambert for his controversial AMA performance, which broke no laws.
According to an ABC insider, the network is hoping Brown’s interview, which was taped last weekend, will provide a ratings boost. The insider said the interview is “to give him a chance to respond to Rihanna’s interview,” which aired earlier this month.
Brown will also be performing songs from his new album. His GMA appearance is scheduled to air week after next.
“The network is giving a mixed message — that it doesn’t trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault,” said the source.
After being dropped by GMA, Lambert appeared on the CBS Early Show instead.

I try not to take sides but this is just so disgusting and portrays the state of events these days. No matter what … gays always get bashed and hetero felons get treated better. Things will never really change will they…
I’m wasn’t a Glambert fan but I AM NOW!
TV insiders say the appearance, slated to air the week after next, has outraged feminists and gay activists who wonder why a convicted girlfriend abuser is more palatable to the network than an openly gay man who broke no laws with his raunchy performance on the “American Music Awards.”

He gave a GUILTY plea in court because he was GUILTY. Letting him tell his side of the story is like saying he had a good reason for almost killing Rihanna. All that kid cares about is getting his career back on top. Every interview he has done shows his self interest and his lack of accountability. He keeps making comments suggesting that he had reason and there is no reason to justify what he did. He’s an ABUSER without remorse.
