Chris Brown is upset with Oprah Winfrey because she made her show on domestic violence based on the incident with him and Rihanna.  
  
Oprah dedicated the episode to "all the Rihannas in the world."  
  
Brown tells People Magazine "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, 'OK, I'm going to help both of these people out.'"  
  
Winfrey's spokesman told TMZ "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."  
  
A source who is familiar with Brown's endorsement schedule says "He's done whatever goodwill he had, he's totally ruined it by saying that. What was he thinking? And who the hell goes up against Oprah? It just shows he doesn't think."  
  
There's been talk that Brown using the phrase "slap in the face" wasn't very smart. "What goes around comes around," says the NY Daily News.
