[on the GMA incident]: Yes, I got very emotional and I apologize for,acting like that. I felt like, "Okay, they told us this just so they,can get us on the show so they can exploit me. " I kind of took it very,very hard. And I kept my composure throughout the interview, although,you could see me upset, you know. I kept my composure and did my,performances, and when I got back, I just let off, like, steam in the,back.

I kind of try and be the big brother and make him go the right way and,have a great time.
