Coming Soon: Evelyn Lozada's First Interview

I guess Oprah was all booked up with her Next Chapter interviews so Evelyn Lozada opted to give Good Morning America exclusive rights to her breaking silence. Per TMZ Evelyn will sit down with Amy Robach for an interview later this week.

Evelyn agreed to sit down with Robin on "Good Morning America" to discuss the Aug. 11 domestic violence incident -- because she feels Roberts has tremendous integrity as a reporter.

The interview was set for this week, but hit a snag when Lozada asked Robin to tape the segment at her hotel ... since Evelyn wanted a private setting for such a serious conversation.

We're told Roberts couldn't make that happen because she would have to miss a treatment session for her blood disorder ... myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

As we reported, Roberts is scheduled to start a leave of absence this Friday to receive a bone marrow transplant.

We're told Amy Robach is stepping in for Robin, but Evelyn's more than happy with the replacement.

This is bold. This is the moment where Evelyn paints a story, an image and what some will forever deem the truth in their eyes, which is, Chad Johnson is a woman beater. I'm not saying that I don't believe her but if he is in fact innocent he should have beat her to the punch. He should have pleaded his case before the smoke cleared.

I think Evelyn will use this time in her life to repair the image that many have of her because of her participation in VH1's Basketball Wives. She is the face of domestic violence for the time being and she just may profit tremendously from this while Chad Johnson could face felony charges because of his prior domestic violence conviction.
