apr 4, 1988 - During CNN interview, James Brown laughs at domestic abuse allegations.
Description:
James Brown’s wildly sexist interview from 1988Back in April 1988, James Brown for some reason agreed to appear on CNN to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation against him. When the initial question is posed to him about assaulting his wife with a lead pipe before firing a gun at a car she was in, he simply responds with a joyful rendition of the chorus to ‘Living in America’, and when an awkward silence ensues thereafter, he simply adds, “there’s nothing wrong.”
