(CNN) -- Chris Brown has some words of advice for suspended NFL player Ray Rice.

In an interview with MTV's Sway Calloway Thursday, Brown opened up about his own history with domestic violence in light of Rice being cut from the Baltimore Ravens and suspended from the league after a leaked video depicted the player punching his now-wife, Janay Rice.

"To Ray or anybody else, because I'm not better than the next man, I can just say I've been down that road," Brown told MTV News. "I've made my mistakes too, but it's all about how you push forward and how you control yourself."

Brown infamously attacked his former girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 on the eve of the Grammy Awards, and was sentenced to a five-year probation and 1,400 hours of community service.

"It's all about the choices you do make," Brown told Calloway. "I deal with a lot of anger issues from my past, not knowing how to express myself verbally and at the same time not knowing how to cope with my emotions and deal with them and understand what they were."

The 25-year-old R&B and hip-hop artist explains that therapy has been crucial in helping him better understand and grasp control of his feelings.

"I still talk to my therapist twice a week," he said. "It helps me ... if I'm frustrated and I'm dealing with something, to vent and say what I'm going through so I can hear from an actual clinical person, 'This is how you should react,' or 'It's good to feel this way because feelings, emotions, and energy and emotions, are supposed to come and go. It's not supposed to stay there, you're not supposed to keep it inside, because it'll just bottle up and you'll become a monster.'" What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1.

Washington (CNN) -- So just why is 1999 suddenly such a flashpoint in Campaign 2012?

Team Obama says 1999 is the birth year of "The Big Bain Lie" and goes on to suggest that Mitt Romney might have committed a felony.

That provoked a rare statement from Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades, who called on President Barack Obama to apologize for "the out of control behavior of his staff, which demeans the office that he holds."

Pointed rhetoric aside, just what is the 1999 debate about and why is it potentially significant in the Obama versus Romney race?

Fortune: Documents -- Romney didn't manage Bain funds

At issue is whether Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, is telling the truth when he says he had no role in investment and operations decisions at Bain Capital once he left in February 1999 to take over the Salt Lake City Olympic Games.

Talking Points Memo this week questioned Romney's claim by citing Securities and Exchange Commission filings listing Romney as Bain's top officer after 1999. The Boston Globe on Thursday carried a similar account -- and that was seized upon by Team Obama.

"Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony, or he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments," Stephanie Cutter, deputy Obama campaign manager, said on a campaign conference call.

Remember that last part of Cutter's statement -- about responsibility for "his" investments. What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. Who may have done a crime?
2. And it was called what?
3. And when was it supposed to have occurred?
4. Who is making this claim?
5. His occupation at the time of the accusation?
6. What state was he in charge of?
7. And the corporation in question is?
8. Who is the Campaign manager speaking out?
9. Who had documents that that he did not manage Bain fund?
10. and who is his campaign manager?
Answer: 1. Mitt Romney
2. The Big Bain Lie
3. 1999
4. Team Obama
5. Running the Salt Lake City Olympic Games
6. Massachusetts
7. Bain Capital
8. Mitt Romney

New York (CNN) -- A 35-year-old woman on a first date plummeted to her death early Thursday morning when she fell from the balcony of her 17th floor New York City apartment.

"This is a tragedy, and our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of Ms. Rosoff," he said. "We are cooperating fully with the investigation into the cause of this terrible accident."

A statement provided to CNN from the New York City Department of Buildings said the agency is investigating and issued a vacate order for all balconies in the building as a precaution.
