MIDTOWN — ABC's "Good Morning America" said Chris Brown is welcome back on the show, even though he smashed a window after an interview with Robin Roberts on Tuesday, the New York Post Reported.

"We wish him the absolute best and ... we've extended the invitation to him and I sure hope that he takes us up on it, because we'd love to have another chat with him," Roberts reportedly said.

Brown got upset after the host repeatedly asked him about domestic abuse incident with Rihanna in 2009.

Brown then allegedly had a meltdown after the interview and threw a chair into his dressing room window. He then ripped off his shirt and stormed out into the street.

Roberts insists the performer shouldn’t have been surprised by the questions.

"Anytime we have a guest here on the program, we let them know ahead of time the subject matter, the topics that we're going to discuss," Roberts said. "Even right before the interview, I said that to Chris, and I was shocked like everybody else was."

Brown later apologized for the incident on BET.

"First of all, I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, or anybody who was offended or really looked, and [was] disappointed at my actions," Brown reportedly said. "Because I'm disappointed in the way I acted."
