Now we know why the Queen of Talk, Oprah Winfrey didn’t get the first exclusive interview with woman beater Chris Brown since his arrest in February on assault charges.

According to TMZ.com:

People magazine asked Brown about the fact that Oprah did “a show on abuse, inspired by Rihanna.” Chris replied:

“I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.'”

TMZ called Oprah for a comment, and Oprah’s rep sent TMZ the following response:

“Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.”

Ouch! That was harsh.
