Check out this sneak peek of Chris Brown’s tell-all interview on Larry King Live, set to air Wednesday night on CNN.

Chris Brown sat down for his first interview since the now-infamous fight he had with Rihanna nearly six months ago.

“I was distraught,” he says of how he felt immediately following the assault. “I went to my mom on the same night and told [her] what happened and broke down.”

Chris claims her grew up witnessing his stepfather beat his mother Joyce, and credits the violence he witnessed with his own brush with abuse.

“I feel like he enjoyed it. He was an abuser. It was continuous.”

Catch the full interview this Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 9/8c on CNN.
