New clips from the upcoming special, set to air on Saturday, March 28, on OWN, show Vanzant forcing Tran to confront some uncomfortable truths about her relationship with the singer. At one point, she asked why Tran thought that the Brown she knew was different from the Brown everyone else knew.

“I know what I saw, and I know how I wanted to react and how I wanted to treat the relationship, or treat him,” the 26-year-old replied. “I wanted to love him because that’s what he needs. Love.”

Vanzant responded with another question, asking, “Well, what do you need? Because obviously, while you were taking care of his needs, he was not taking care of yours.”

“Yeah, and that’s life,” Tran said.

Vanzant was quick to correct her. “No, that’s another classic mistake that young women — or women, in general — make going into relationships,” she told the star. “We believe that we are strong enough and that it is our responsibility to heal a man’s wounds and damage.”

The hot seat didn’t get any cooler after that, either. As seen in another clip, Vanzant also grilled Tran about Brown’s relationship with Rihanna, and how she found out that he was seeing the “Diamonds” singer again.

“I knew, [but] I didn’t want to believe it,” she admitted.
