After preview clips of Rihanna‘s interview with Oprah started hitting the web last week, Chris Brown Tweeted some pictures of himself looking sad and introspective…

There’s no word if he was trying to send anyone a message . . .

But so-called “sources” say that after Chris watched the full interview Sunday night, he told friends, quote, “You know I love her and we’re going to get back [together] one day.”

Then he sent Rihanna a text thanking her for being respectful.

And a different source says that Chris’ current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, cried after watching the interview . . . quote, “If Karreuche ever thought she stood a chance being Chris’ main [girl], she can forget that now.

“Chris always told her Rihanna was his true love and now Rihanna told the whole world that too.”
