You understand that if you behave badly again, you're going to damage not only your relationship, but her reputation as well,' said Lauer

"Yeah, everything's good, we're fine," he said. "Knowing that what I did was wrong, and never doing it again. So as far as me and (Rihanna) are concerned, she knows my heart, and I know her heart. So I'm not really focused on the negative."

And, Lauer took it a step further, making sure Brown knows he can't mess up again.
