Robin Roberts asked Chris Brown if she could question him about the Rihanna incident BEFORE the live interview began on "GMA" this morning ... this according to sources connected to the production. Roberts insists both she and other "GMA" staff members spoke with Chris before the interview and asked if it would be OK to fire off "a few questions" about the Rihanna incident ... and Chris approved.
As TMZ first reported, Brown flipped out after the interview -- and apparently smashed a window in his dressing room.
Robin is telling people at the show she did NOT try to set him up ... and insists, "I'm pulling for the guy."
As for the broken window, sources say no one in the studio saw Chris throw the chair into the window ... but he was definitely in the dressing room when the window was smashed.

NYDAILYNEWS:
Chris Brown may need a few more anger management lessons.
Even though a Los Angeles judge has commended him for turning his life around since pleading guilty to felony assault in 2009, the R&B artist had a massive meltdown at the "Good Morning America" studios in Manhattan on Tuesday.
Brown, 21, became angered during his live interview with co-host Robin Roberts, who asked repeated questions about his domestic violence incident with Rihanna, even though he was there to promote his new album, "F.A.M.E.," which was released on Tuesday.
After the interview, Brown allegedly took his rage out in his dressing room, where he yelled loud enough to warrant a visit from security and broke a window. Shattered glass fell onto 43rd St. and Broadway, reported TMZ.com, which posted a picture of the smashed window.
Brown reportedly then took off his shirt and confronted a "GMA" producer before leaving the building and skipping a planned second performance, which was to air on the "GMA" website.
A short time after his exit, Brown took to his Twitter account to express his displeasure over the interview and thank his fans for their continued support.
"I'm so over people bringing this past sh-t up!!!" he tweeted. "Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there [sic] bullsh-t!"
"All my fans!!! This album is for you and only you!!!" he wrote in a second tweet. "I'm so tired of everyone else!! Honestly!! I love team breezy!!"
"Thank you to everyone who supports my music!!!" he wrote in a third. "Key Word (music) !!! Love y'all."
A rep for Brown has yet to comment on the matter.
Last month, Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg downgraded a restraining order that had barred Brown from contacting Rihanna and required him to stay 50 yards away from her.
With Rihanna's consent, the judge removed the stayaway clause but warned Brown that he is not allowed to annoy, harass or molest the 23-year-old pop star.
Schnegg praised Brown's recent behavior and said he didn't have to attend the next scheduled progress report hearing on June 22. His probation is scheduled to end in August 2014.
In December, Brown proudly tweeted a picture of his certificate showing he completed a 52-week domestic violence course.
