Bobby Brown Explains Why He Left Whitney Houston’s Funeral

(Jackson Lee/Splash News)
Bobby Brown left Whitney Houston’s funeral at Newark, N.J.’s New Hope Baptist Church shortly after the service began.
In a statement put out by his representative, he explained, “My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions.
“I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move,” he said. “Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

People just love a scapegoat. Casting the first stone in the middle of a church

Dear Bobby you were unfaithful to a nice church girl slither on son slither on

Whitney even admitted she turned Bobby on to coke, not the other way around…get your facts straight before spouting off

ummmm thomas robertson…you do know that she introduced him to the drugs right? stop bashing this man! he is the father of her child..my goodness

Honestly, if you are there to support his daughter, then just sit down and support your daughter. It does not help to know he was not there/ He did not put her first. JMO

Keep yo head up B Brown. In time all will be well, some people cause a scene just to be seen.
Posted by: Dearius wade | February 18, 2012, 4:32 pm 4:32 pm
I’m not surprised that security would go to the exact lengths liken to that of the TSA. To deprive a person of paying their last respects is simply inhumane. No doubt her family will try to profit off of the death just as the Cirque-de-soJackson has done.

@ Thomas Robertson: Bobby didn’t introduce Whitney to drugs; she had already been exposed in her years in the music business and/or modeling. When she and Bobby met, two too-alike people came together and together spiraled each other out of control rather than someone within the relationship being a grounding force besides their daughter, whose responsibility it shouldn’t have been. RIP Whitney

Bobby forgot that the day was about Whitney–not about him or his children. He could have graciously moved as requested with no need to make a scene. Instead he had to make it about his ego. If his children are upset about leaving, they have no one to blame but Bobby.
Posted by: Kay | February 18, 2012, 4:34 pm 4:34 pm
Truth be told, she introduced him to drugs.

Know your research b4 you speak on other peoples lives & poor habits. If you watch the Katie Couric interview. Whitney was doing drugs way b4 she met Bobby Brown. Don’t point fingers when you really have no facts.

Nobody can FORCE any GROWN person to do ANYTHING! grown people make decisions, period! You cannot blame anybody for Whitney’s demise. And futhermore, today was not about her issues OR about what role Bobby Brown played in her life. This was a day for ANY AND EVERYONE who loved Whitney to mourn and say goodbye. The fact that they robbed Bobby of this is truely horrendous. He’s her former husband (of whom she never spoke badly of) AND the father of her only child! People get so wrapped up in judging people for their shortcomings its so sickening.

God bless you Bobby. We are praying for you, Ms. Cissy, and Bobbi Kristina.

Whitney Houston turned Bobby Brown on to cocaine.. anyone at the funeral trying to cause problems for this man who is mourning the loss of his ex, is despicable.
Posted by: matt | February 18, 2012, 4:38 pm 4:38 pm
I sincerely wish people would stop saying he introduced Whitney to drugs, she is older than him, and was around this stuff long before she met Bobby. Even her friends have stated this. This is a sad situation, and should not have happened. He had every right to be at that funeral.
Posted by: SASSY | February 18, 2012, 4:38 pm 4:38 pm
Cissy Houston and family were given the opportunity to show how Jesus Christ loves all of his children, sinners the most. They failed the test. I know that a man can love you and influence you the wrong way. Non the less, Bobbi is greiving as well. The pastor should have embrased Bobbie Brown and the rest of the world would have mocked his loving grace. Bobbie i feel for you my darling. I feel for her mother and family as well. I understand how a mother would place blame on you. Whitney was not with you at the end. Somehow she failed to show the strength of Jesus to know not to take part in things done only in the dark. Embrase all, is what the pastor should have added.

Whitney was on drugs way before ever meeting Bobby…..we all have choices, her choice was early in the game before becoming the star the was. But, she did get cleaned….per her close friend and confidant.
Posted by: Chloe | February 18, 2012, 4:39 pm 4:39 pm
Leave bobby brown alone she was messing with drugs waybefor him he was just a faster and easy way to more and new drugs he had every right to be there they were both unfair / mean to each other
Posted by: Jack | February 18, 2012, 4:40 pm 4:40 pm
Its funny that people blame Bobby, but Whitney had a drug problem before she even met Bobby, look it up, she was arrested for possession well before they met, 2nd, she is a grown woman, she made her own decisions, 3rd Bobby has been off drugs for years, got remarried and has another child and is currently touring, she was the one that couldn’t stop, so please leave Bobby alone, she was an adult…. Rest in Peace
Posted by: The Truth | February 18, 2012, 4:40 pm 4:40 pm
Amen Shellz. Never ever heard Whitney say one bad thing about Bobby Brown. The media made him a scapegoat. Very sad.
Her Passing hurts more than MJ :( seriously in prayer for this family.
Posted by: Advocate for Christ | February 18, 2012, 4:40 pm 4:40 pm
I THINK THEY DID A GREAT JOB OF CELEBRATING HER LIFE!! AS FOR BOBBY BEING THE BLAME I CAN’T FULL HEARTLY AGREE!! I DON’T KNOW THE DETAILS OF HOW SHE STARTED USING BUT BOTTOM-LINE IS “SHE” STARTED USING!! IT WAS A DESICION SHE MADE AND HAD TO LIVE WITH THE RESULTS FROM IT. UNLESS BOBBY HELD HER DOWN AND FORCED HER SHE HAD A CHOICE! I AM IN NO WAY A BIG BOBBY FAN IN THE LEAST BUT I AM A REALIST!! I LOVE WHITNEYS MUSIC AND THE MEMORIES IT CARRIES WITH MY CHILDHOOD AND LIFE GENERAL AND I WILL CONTINUE TO REMEMBER HER IN A GOOD LIGHT AND NOT IN THE BAD THE MEDIA LIKES TO TALK ABOUT!! I WOULD HAVE LIKE THIS DAY TO B DRAMA FREE BUT I GUESS THAT WOULD B TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR!!
Posted by: Evans | February 18, 2012, 4:40 pm 4:40 pm
For all you dumb peolple Bobby didn’t introduce her to drugs she was doing it before him all he did was smoke weed then she turned him on to drugs so learn about it the media never put out the whole story! They wanna make Bobby look like some bad boy that turned a good girl onto drugs and that’s WRONG!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Britt | February 18, 2012, 4:41 pm 4:41 pm
I’m sure Whitney was the perfect angel! I don’t ever reading where Bobby was forcing pills and booze down her throat!
Posted by: Delta | February 18, 2012, 4:41 pm 4:41 pm
I stand corrected.
Posted by: Thomas Robertson | February 18, 2012, 4:42 pm 4:42 pm
It’s all about Bobby.
Posted by: Jack Smith | February 18, 2012, 4:42 pm 4:42 pm
She introduced him to drugs?? Ok. Then he did nothing about it, and willingly went along. What kind of a man does this? He’s still a loser!
Posted by: robertv | February 18, 2012, 4:43 pm 4:43 pm
@PBROWN I hope you can read and follow directions when taking a test cause clearly you got me mistaken with the comment after my statement which is the second statement not the third sweetie. We’re on the sme page @PBROWN Thanks for using my name though…..
Posted by: Racy | February 18, 2012, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
People, lets not be nasty no matter what we think…A family and ex-husband are greiving. Let them read kind and loving words. What if what you type here causes Bobbie to think so low of himself that it causes him to end his life…his life is also special. Let us all have class, repect, and grace.
Posted by: lisa | February 18, 2012, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
Her family does not need to read that she was doing drugs. People, how many of us do drugs, or tried them? Did you share this with your children and family? Be kind, be loving at this time of great loss.

You people need to get a life. Whitney is a grown ass woman who made her own choices.
If the man can’t grieve at her funeral in peace then they are truly disturbed.
Posted by: Desmin | February 18, 2012, 4:48 pm 4:48 pm
It’s pretty bad when the State spares no expense in the use of State funded police officers and and city resources for a celebrity funeral. Hang in there Mr. Brown… Time to clean up and stay up.
Posted by: Alan Keddana | February 18, 2012, 4:49 pm 4:49 pm
I think Bobby Brown did the dignified thing. He was rudely treated, and took the high road. To be moved around three times to make way for someone else is the ultimate insult – at a funeral, party , or any kind of gathering. I hope he will continue to pay his respects the best way he know how. That entire family has a lot of grieving and healing to experience.
Posted by: Erlinda | February 18, 2012, 4:50 pm 4:50 pm
They were probably moving him to avoid an unpleasant situation. I can’t imagine that any of the attendees were too happy to see him. Should have just shut his mouth and done as he was told…just for a few hours. Why can’t people just do that anymore? Suffer in silence for a little while for someone else’s sake?
Posted by: Diane | February 18, 2012, 4:50 pm 4:50 pm
The family has the right to exclude anyone they want form any funeral. He has no “right” to be there.
That’s absurd, and those thinking he does, invite him to your next family gathering and let him hang with your daughter.
Posted by: robertv | February 18, 2012, 4:51 pm 4:51 pm
No I do not think he introduced her to drugs, But he did nothing to disconnect her from drugs, And like any low down dog when he was done with her and her money he left her with nothing, He is a bum. I do not think he should have been disrespected at the funeral, And yes we know she loved his children, She took care of them. She is the one who paid all of the past due child support that Bobby owed to them.
Posted by: DWS | February 18, 2012, 4:51 pm 4:51 pm
let me add, what a movement towards Christ, if the Houston family were to embrace Bobbie at this testing time. It would be understandable if they didn’t but if they were to, it would speak worlds on how the love of Christ moves people without them not understanding why.
Posted by: lisa thompson | February 18, 2012, 4:52 pm 4:52 pm
Britt, U said what I was about to say. People are so quick to judge him. He truly loved her and took all of the criticism that should have been directed to her. BOBBY BROWN DID NOT INTRODUCE WHITNEY TO DRUGS AS THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE YOU THINK, SHE WAS USING WAAAAY BEFORE THEY MET!
Posted by: CHARLEAN | February 18, 2012, 4:52 pm 4:52 pm
For those that think BOBBY created this mess, I am sure those of u commenting had NO CLUE Whitney had a stink in rehab BEFORE she even MET Bobby Brown. Stop saying he introduced her to drugs and please may she rest in peace.
Posted by: Yall sound crazy | February 18, 2012, 4:53 pm 4:53 pm
Never speak of something you do not understand; otherwise, you will be telling the world how foolish you are. Stop the disparaging rhetoric, it makes no sense. Let the dying person rest in perfect peace, and pray that when your day comes for you to depart this earth, others will speak kindly of you. R.I.P. Ms. Houston

Why couldn’t he just honor the wishes of her family? On the other hand, this guy needs all the church he can get.
Posted by: carol | February 18, 2012, 4:55 pm 4:55 pm
Anyone who truly believes Bobby introduced Whitney to drugs is lame and loves drama. Addiction runs in Whitney’s family and she herself has said in small interviews that she began using drugs before she even met Bobby. No matter what you think, Whitney was her OWN woman who made her OWN choices. No one made her do anything. She had her own demons, unfortunately.
Posted by: TeneciousC | February 18, 2012, 4:56 pm 4:56 pm
That’s a sad situation. They should have seated him next to his daughter. Im sure she would have appreciated having at least one of her parents there with her. One parent is dead and the other one still alive. He should have been with his daughter the whole time. That’s her dad, no matter what, thats her dad. They did him wrong. If they did this to him they will have to answer to God for behaving like that. If they did this to him and those children then he made the right choice by leaving. At least he didn’t cause a scene.
Posted by: nan | February 18, 2012, 4:56 pm 4:56 pm
It’s interesting how people that know absolutely nothing about any of these people, seems to be so certain about who introduced who to drugs. I know Bobby Brown very well, and before he and Whitney got together Bobby Brown smoked a lot of marijuana. He was not a hardcore drug user. The hard drugs came after Whitney came into his life, so you decide who introduced who to what. Whitney was not as sweet and innocent as people would like to think.

Let us keep the WHOLE family in prayer. We love you Bobby Brown and they should not have been treated the way they were. He did give her Bobbi Kristina. They had great times together too and some people forget that, and focus on the negative first. Make sure when some of us die, how we will be remembered, and who it is that remembers us. This was truely a homegoing as we say. It was not a SHOW. Leave Bobby ALONE!!! I will not be back on the page to comment all is said, just remember when its your turn to be the bearer or the griever or even the person passed, you too will not be judged for what others really don’t know or say about you. Media does not always tell the true person story. Its 3 sides to everybody as you know. Mine, theirs and the real truth. Watch what you say does not cause another person to take their life and you feel responsible or guilt.
Posted by: Rita | February 18, 2012, 4:57 pm 4:57 pm
One the first lessons I learned is, an addict likes to blame everyone around them, their mom, their dad, their siblings, the person who was an addict and introduced them to the drug. But the reality is, its the addict. They would have found their way there no matter what. They have to look in themselves to fix the problem.
Bobby may have been mean to her, but he loved her, she loved him. We know nothing of the real details of their relationship. He should have the RIGHT to grieve his own loss here. She was more a part of his life than any other person but his children. Remember, HE’S AN ADDICT TOO, hes broken inside quite like she was, why do you think they had such a bond?
Judging is a simple thing when you are ignorant of reality.
Posted by: Sally | February 18, 2012, 4:58 pm 4:58 pm
NOW WE ALL KNOW THEY HAD A PROFOUND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT WE THINK N BOBBY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH A LIL MORE RESPECT BEING THE FACT THAT’S THE FATHER OF HER CHILD !!!! WOULD WE HAVE WANTED WHITNEY TO B TREATED LIKE THAT IF THING WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND SO I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING TO AT SUCH A TIME LIKE THIS PRAYING FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Posted by: MONIQUE MILTON | February 18, 2012, 5:00 pm 5:00 pm
No one forced either one to snort, shoot or smoke anything. They were both consenting adults who chose to make bad decisions. She would’ve wanted her daughter and Brown to be first in line at her funeral, so shame on everyone for throwing stones..
Posted by: Lashawn | February 18, 2012, 5:00 pm 5:00 pm
Leave Bobby alone, point blank period. What kind of low life keeps a father away from their child when that child loses their mother… smh on them and all of you talking down on that man who is also grieving, Shame on you all
Posted by: Chanel | February 18, 2012, 5:01 pm 5:01 pm
kind of funny all the people hating on Bobby. If u want to throw hate at bobby for all the drugs than you better do the same to Whitney. Can’t blame one or the other. they both make their own decisions. this is a day to remember whitney. she made her bed and is now lying in it. good time to teach your kids that money nor fame can solve your problems.
Posted by: jackR | February 18, 2012, 5:01 pm 5:01 pm
At Lisa Thompson you are very right. As a matter of fact this funeral or Whitneys death is not so much about Whitney as it is about God and how he used her. Yes they failed the test miserably but Gods purpose still over shined everything the Devil attempted to do.

If you’re blaming Bobby Brown for Whitney’s drug use you are as weak minded as you THINK Whitney was.

Posted by: Tryingtobegood | February 18, 2012, 5:08 pm 5:08 pm
Regardless to what some of you are saying Bobby loved Whitney and Whitney loved Bobby. Whitney never had a bad thing to say about him and how dare you people try to bash him for something he isn’t responsible for. You are giving him too much credit. Everyone has their day and there is nothing anyone can do about it. If he and his children were invited then they should have been treated with respect. They were her step children at one point. He did what he thought was the best thing for the occassion. It seems they were looking to start something with him. It was wrong on so many levels. No matter how you look at it. That was her ex husband and step children. I swear some people sit behind a computer and say the craziest things. If you watched the service you should have learned something from it. And you call yourself Christians….prioritize people…. prioritize
Posted by: Keish | February 18, 2012, 5:08 pm 5:08 pm
Brown should have been a better man–if that’s possible. If it was my intent to support my daughter I could have been moved 20 times knowing that the true purpose was to upset me BUT I would have stayed. I surmise that Brown and his daughter are probably not on good terms given what her mother might have told her about him and the Oprah Winfrey interview. This could have been Brown’s bridge to begin repairing that relationship. Anyway this went “left” from the start when he brought his wife and their children. If ever there was a time for him to go solo THIS was it! Nope! No excuse for walking out.

You did the right thing bobby forget about the other stuff its not important. It says a lot about Whitney that she kept you as the beneficiary.

Whitney gets Bobby addicted to dope and then when he quits and she OD’s he gets the blame.

First & formost whitney death was a planned ritual from the baphomet & modanna performance was the ignitiation! Whitney was revealing much truths & wanted out & they wasn’t having it so since her music career could make these elite jews of the entertainment industry they took her life & eternally will make money off her death with sky rocket record sells! Those who are blind will never see the light the truth is out there open your eyes or just learn the hard way

If you and your wife are divorced and the two of you are invited to a funeral of a friend, will you sit together? No. You will sit on your own and she will sit on her own. This is obvious.
Posted by: Chris | February 18, 2012, 5:18 pm 5:18 pm
Leave the judging when judgement day comes. Jesus died for our sins, Whitney knew what she was doing to herself. Lets just hope and pray that she asked God to forgive for her sins. Only the Lord can judge, no one else.

Her sister-in-law told Cissy during the funeral that she had done all she could do as a mother and the choice was up to Whitney. That’s profound because I’m tired of reading where people are blaming Bobby or saying people need to walk on eggshells with regard to what Whitney was doing. This is a lesson for people too, that drugs will kill you.
Long term drug use leaves its damage on & in the body, even after you stop. Just look at Vesta’s final death result–enlarged heart. Most addicts will go on to something else. I don’t know why poor Whitney seemed to be running away from something. Whitney was on coke for decades then the prescription pills with alcohol. It was as if Whitney was torturing herself. As a husband, she did not need a co-dependent. She always said “Bobby let her be herself”. Just what was that? A drug partner.
During her interview with Oprah she said she didn’t even drink but Bobby did and he would become mean. When did Whitney become a raving alcoholic with the pills? Probably after she got off the street drugs to get another high.
Remember, if you love someone you don’t cave in to what they want to do that may potentially kill them.
Posted by: Cali | February 18, 2012, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm
Bobby was violent towards Whitney, she ended up in the hospital after he punched her in the face.
Whitney said the marriage started to turn bad after her success with the movie – The Bodyguard – and then later with her world tour. Whitney said he was jealous, he was a control freak that was the boss in the home and he could not stand that she was more successful than she was with her career. She must have started to assert herself more and he reacted by hitting her. She was upset about him sleeping with other women and said you’re not bringing that into this family. So he had the wandering eye and she was not going to stand for it. Men who hit women are bullys and deserve little respect. I don’t blame the family for not wanting him at the funeral. He didn’t love her otherwise he would not have punched her in the face and spat on her! Come on.
Posted by: RB | February 18, 2012, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm
Wow, this is really sad. And I am REALLY tired of people saying Bobby Brown introduced Whitney to drugs, when she was taking them LONG before they even got together. Most of the industry is on some sort of drug, prescription or otherwise (which is so sad). For the sake of the argument, let’s say he did (in which we know for fact he didn’t)introduce her to drugs, she didn’t have to take them right? There are one of two truths, either she introduced HIM to drugs, or she married him, knowing he was already on them, so she could continue on with her habit. Either way, stop blaming this man! You CANNOT blame people for the choices others make. May Whitney rest in peace.

Gotta love the amount of hypocrisy that spews from the tongues of “so-called” believers and those ready to judge a man and a situation, both of which they have no real clue about. Whitney is gone! Bobby loves her and was married to her and has every right to mourn her, respectfully! Both were adults and made their own decisions! Most of all: none of us can judge either one of them and need to be sure to get the plank out of our own eyes prior to attempting to locate a splinter in either one of theirs.

Bobby DID NOT introduce her to Drugs… if you want to blame some one start with the staff at Arista Records! BUT no matter where they MARRIED and he deserves the right and chance to Say goodbye… For those of you who continue to BLAME him… Blame yourself for not hosting an INTERVENTION…wait your couldnt..because YOU ARE INSIGNIFICANT!

You know its amazing to see how the world is. None of us know who they both were behind closed doors. None of us know the real situation. But yet we sit and criticize these people. And we wonder why entertainers are the way they are. Like her bodyguard said, show some love to these entertainers. They give their lives to us and we don’t do anything but find something to criticize. Let’s look at the bigger picture, because of Whitney Houston, the world was exposed to Jesus Christ. People its praying time. Pray for Bobby Brown, he is hurting too. Pray for Bobbi Christina, that her life does not spin out of control. Get out the window and get in the mirror. Evaluate yourself and let God evaluate everyone else. God bless!

Nobody knows yet what killed Whitney. Everyone is all set to blame a overdose. She might of had a underlining illness that has yet to be known
Posted by: DC Clark | February 18, 2012, 5:25 pm 5:25 pm
People should stop blaming Bobby for Whitney’s death, if actually Bobby introduced her into drugs,was she not matured and old enough to say no,after all there has always been TV and radio commercials telling or educating people on the negative effects of drugs, since she claimed to be a church girl,she should have preached Bobby into stopping drugs, pls people I belive she enjoyed it and that was why she continued even after they were seperated.

I think it’s just sad the way Bobby Brown is being treated & ridiculed!!! Now is not the time 4 ignorance.. & you can’t blame 1 person for wat another person does especially someone grown. Society needs 2 wake up & get off BS!!! Rip Whitney… my Condolences to the Houston family as well as B. Brown..
Posted by: caprice tanner | February 18, 2012, 5:28 pm 5:28 pm
For those of you who are quick to judge, get the facts right…..Bobby Brown was using drugs before he left New Edition. Whitney was using also. Just because she’s older, doesn’t mean she turned him out. Ralph and Bobby were heavily addicted. Ppl, do research….. We all have a right to be opinionated, but sometimes we have to be empathetic to others. Everyone’s quick to speak, type, and so forth about people period!!!! Wait til something happens to you or a loved one in your family. Would you want somebody to judge you and yours openly? (Don’t peek through anyone’s windows, until your own is clean)………………….. “What goes around, Comes around”
Posted by: DR1969 | February 18, 2012, 5:30 pm 5:30 pm
You Bobby Brown fanatics need to GIVE IT A REST!!! Before they got married in 1992, Bobby Brown had been kicked out of New Edition, been arrested several times and had constant drug rumors(which he later admitted to) and you all are acting as if Whitney Houston was the trouble-maker and B.Brown was a saint!!! B.Brown was CLEARLY a corrupting influence on her, that’s why her demise started right after she married him. The only thing I blame her for is Falling In Love With A BAD PERSON!! She should’ve been smarter than that.

WHITNEY AND BOBBY DOES NOT HAVE TO ANSWER TO ANY OF YOUR COMMENTS
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS AT THIS TIME,
ASK YOURSELF HOW WILL YOU BE JUDGED IN GOD’S SIGHT NOT THE PUBLIC

The point is, you Bobby Brown supporters, as that he didn’t stop her either. I was at the SOUL TRAIN awards the year she was booed by others who didn’t think she was black enough…she went to him so she would be legitimate to her own people…THAT is the sad part. And on top of it all; he beat her. I’m starting to think he is Chris Brown’s REAL father…

First whether or not he introduced it to her he didn’t force to use. She was a woman that could make clear sound decisions. Second, who wants to be some where where they are made to feel uncomfortable. Third, it is not about of this bs, it is about Whitney passing and the pain sorrow her family and friends are going through. Nobody was there to truly know what happen during their marriage except Whitney, Booby, Bobbi-Kristina and God himself.

I’m no Bobby Brown fan but he could have stayed for the funeral. He was never told to leave, just to move to another area of the church. This is understandable since he had an entourage of 8 to 9 people and the church that normally sits 300 people was already packed with people. In a CNN interview after the service, Jesse Jackson even said he tried to get Bobby to stay. So it was Bobby’s decision to leave, but it had nothing to do with disrespect given toward him — it had to do with his ego. It’s better to let bygones be bygones. As other posts have commented, the day was not about Bobby, but it was about Whitney. However, I’ll take that a step further. The day was about Christ’s love for Whitney. People are not perfect and Christ still loves the sinner. Whitney should be remembered for her enormous talent, not her imperfections of which all of us are guilty of.

Seems Christianity is only skin deep sometimes. In honor of the moment and humility for the daughter, I would have allowed him a place near his daughter. shame shame head games Put your spirit in control, not your emotions.

Well, having read all these numerous posts, I no longer know what to believe. Which may be an indication that it’s not important who led whom into temptation and beyond. Let’s just pray strength for the living (Cissy, Bobbi Christina, Bobby, and the rest of the family and ex-family) and the peace of God that passes all understanding on the soul of our beloved Whitney (“Nippy”). To do otherwise is really beneath us as followers of Christ.

Where do you guys get Whitney turned him on to drugs!!!!! Whitney said in the Oprah interview they did it together and started together in 1993 just after she had her baby. Whitney chose to do drugs as she stated but to say she got Bobby hook is a joke!!!!! I want to see proof where Whitney says she got Bobby hook!!!!!!
Posted by: Andres | February 18, 2012, 5:52 pm 5:52 pm
If Bobby Brown really wanted to show respect to his ex-wife Whitney Houston, he should have NEVER INTRODUCED her to drugs that eventually took her life. What a hypocrite you are Bobby Brown, you destroyed Whitney’s life and took her away from her daughter, and all you can do is whine about being asked to move in the church. I’ll bet there were more IMPORTANT mourners there than the ex-husband that was the reason for this funeral in the first place. Get a life,BB, and retire since you don’t have any talent to speak of to begin with.
Posted by: SusanG. | February 18, 2012, 5:55 pm 5:55 pm
Wow…..the man shows up for the funeral and then he is asked to move seats on three separate occassions. Rev. Sharpton ask him to keep the peace and Jessie Jackson clearly states on CNN that how he was treated was “FOWL”. Jennifer Holliday along with Sheryl Lee Ralph who know Whitney confirmed that she was on drugs way before Bobby Brown and most of you lingnorant people are still scape goating Bobby. The bottom line is no one made Whitney such a crack pipe. That was her choice. You ignorant people need to grow up…..and get real.

It appears MOST of you did not remembert this was a homegoinging celebration for the life of Whitney Houston the message was not about Bobbie or his or his ex-wife drug situation. We don’t know what strongholds were on both of them. None of us ever lived with them. I know Whitney at some point realized the marriage was over. By her not speaking about all details was her decision. All I know is she loved The LORD, her child, and her mother. If he Bobbie could not be a strong enough man to stay and make sure this one of his children needed him the most at that moment. It appears he must still be fighting his strongholds. REMEMBER NONE OF US ARE PERFECT AND DON’T KNOW WHAT SOMEONE GOES THROUGH IN LIVING THAT TYPE OF LIFE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DEVIL COMES TO EACH OF US TO STILL, KILL, AND DESTROY US. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON EACH OF US.

John 8:7…They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”
I have never been so amazed at all the people who have treated Bobby Brown like he is the ONLY person who has sinned. He did NOT kill Whitney Houston. God is in control of life and death ;and He does not come against our will. Bobby bleeds and hurt the very same as each one of us. The man is grieving just like you and I. This service was not an opportunity for HATE to be displayed. It was a loving home going service for Ms. Houston and the Love of God was present at that service and in our homes.
How can people say they love Whitney Houston and hate the man she loved and had a child for. Blessings and Cursing can not come out of the same place. We can’t read Bobby Brown’s heart; only God can do that.
To Bobby Brown: I encourage you to find comfort in God. He has not forgotten about you and your children. I pray you will be encouraged by those who really love God and loved Whitney. I LOVE you.

If someone is invited to a wedding with an understanding that they can only bring a certain number of guests with them, and they instead bring 9 other people along, that’s selfish, rude, inconsiderate, and disrespectful. The same principle should apply to an invitation-only funeral. If Bobby Brown is allowed to bring members of his family and members of his entourage, then what is to stop the other invited guests from bringing uninvited guests as well? He was not Whitney’s husband, he was her ex-husband. If he wanted to bring other people, he should have consulted with the Houston family first. Since he was no longer a member of the family, for him to bring his people without clearing it with Whitney’s family first was wrong, just like walking out was wrong. He’s a real class act (not).

Posted by: hot rod garrett | February 18, 2012, 6:11 pm 6:11 pm
At this point, who got who started on drugs is moot. Whitney Houston was a grown woman who made the choices she wanted to make, good or bad. That’s part of being human. I’ve seen people in my family and friends of mine have their lives ruined and even ended by addiction. No one can make you a addict, just like no one can make you quit. Whitney and Bobby may have enabled one another during their marriage, but again, at this point, it’s irrelevant, and people shouldn’t waste their time debating on who introduced hard drugs into the equation. I find it extremely sad that Whitney was not able to exorcise those demons, and that those demons facilitated her death at such a relatively young age.

I don’t know who led who to crack, or even if one led the other to it. I find this irrelevant to the situation. The man came to the church to pay his last respects to his former wife and there was nothing wrong about him doing so. What I know is wrong, is the way he was treated, in what is called a church. How could these people defile her funeral by acting this way in church? None of the people in that church is without sin in their lives, and none of the people who pass judgement on Mr. Brown anywhere are without sin. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. Mr. Brown should have been afforded the same respect everyone else that attended was, rather than being used as a vessel for people to vent their hatred upon.
Posted by: truckinmann | February 18, 2012, 6:23 pm 6:23 pm
For all you people who say that Whitney never said a bad thing about Bobby Brown, you need to watch her 2009 lengthy interview with Oprah. I just saw it a couple of nights ago and Whitney tells how he cheated on her with other women and brought that into their home. How she threw a birthday party for him and he cursed at her in front of her parents and then spit in her face in front of their daughter. She said he looked at her with hatred in his eyes. And she prayed to God for the strength to leave. Oprah asked her if she thought Bobby was jealous of her and she said he was. Which might explain the hatred she saw in his eyes. Her career far eclipsed his. And both she and Oprah agreed that that is hard for most men to deal with.
Posted by: Alex | February 18, 2012, 6:27 pm 6:27 pm
They were married for FOURTEEN YEARS! Some people have tumultuous relationships, and she was known to give it as much as he was. I don’t condone domestic violence in any way. It’s a horrible way to live. It’s not healthy, but it was mutual, and she admitted it. She also started doing drugs before she met him, and in fact, introduced HIM to most of it, by her own account, so this craze of blaming him for the spiral is just nonsense. They caused each other’s spiral down. And by the way, you don’t see him missing performances over drug use.
I had the pleasure of meeting them and spending a little time with them toward the end of their marriage, and you’ve never seen a more vibrant couple in love. Yes, the relationhip was also volatile and they had to end it, but it didn’t change how much they loved each other. It was obvious how they truly adored each other.
So for those who think he should’ve been denied entry to grieve the love of his life and mother of his child, whom he spent 17 years with, you’re just callous and cruel. He had more right to be there than almost anyone in that room. Trying to make him the devil doesn’t solve anything. Whitney had issues, and it was her responsibility to get herself straight. It’s a real tragedy. And it’s being made worse by the fact that her daughter has to be exposed to all of this hate toward her dad at a time when she needs all the support she can get.

After the 2nd time he should have just sat there with his family and said no in a nice calm manor and put the security in the position of causing a scene. Can you imagine what the media would have done with that? And all of you whom really know nothing about them and make nasty judgements and comments, you are earning your right to be treated the same way when you die.

By Bobby Brown’s not making a scene at the funeral, he showed some class. Obviously, family, friends and fans have their opinions about Bobby’s relationship with Whitney, and we will never know how Whitney finally felt about Bobby. The ceremony was a celebration of Whitney Houston’s life, it was a beautiful tribute. It did not need to be marred with finger pointing and furor. Rest in peace, Whitney Houston. You truly were a gift to the world.
Posted by: rohnertpark1 | February 18, 2012, 6:55 pm 6:55 pm
As always Bobby Brown making things about himself. You treated her like garbage through out your whole marriage so don’t come mourning her death now. And Bobby was lucky her family allowed him to come within a foot of that church, let the inside of the church. Go suck on a lemon you miserable junky. The fact they he would rather do a concert instead of rushing to his daughter’s side just shows how little loyalty he had to his own blood.
Posted by: sara correa | February 18, 2012, 7:01 pm 7:01 pm
I don’t think what he has said is the whole story. I was watching the funeral and it was reported he showed up with a fairly large entourage (maybe 9 people with him) and expected to all sit together and in the front row. I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s what was reported at the time. I felt he should be there, they loved each other at one time, and it’s obviously left him distraught. On the other hand, even tho he said he was trying not to make a scene, he did.
Posted by: Cheryl | February 18, 2012, 7:04 pm 7:04 pm
Bobby should have been left alone for the sake of his daughter. Come on folks…this is not about who did what…it is about supporting the Houston family. Whether we like it or not, Bobby is the father of a very distraught daughter. I am sure she needed her father at this time….how sad.
Posted by: Joeann | February 18, 2012, 7:08 pm 7:08 pm
Leave Bobby Brown alone! He is human just like everybody who is passing judgement with they’re perfect asses! He has a child by Whitney, he made mistakes and so did she, but now that Whitney’s passed, Bobby is the blame? If you introduce me to something, I have a choice to either want to get to know it better or not! In the end all of this negative talk about Bobby is hurting his kifs including the daughter he has with Whitney! Her soul will rest if people let it and that includes letting the ones Whitney loved, and was dear to HER not ANY-BODY-ELSE but WHITNEY, grieve and try to adapt to losing her. Because, other than her momma, Bobby has one advantage over all of us…..HER LOVE! RIP WHITNEY! Rest In Peace Forever….(That’s if the public will let you!) Condolences to the Brown AND Houston Family!

Whitney and Bobby still had a good relationship. They often had lunch together. They both moved on him with whoever this woman is and Whitney with Ray J. When Bobby dad died in December, Whitney sang at his funeral. She was welcomed there, his family gave her much love and respect. When his mother died again Whitney was there, yet they were not together. If she hated Bobby she would have sent her condolences. Now you tell me whose family is more Godly? Whitney and Bobby made amends. The only one who trying to make this bigger is you stupid people. What those two did nobody knows. He didn’t have an entourage, he has his kids and family. Family that Whitney loved. Whitney allowed us to see only what she wanted. Whitney had a whole other side.

I am going to say this and then leave it alone, we all know people, including ourselves who have been figthing their “inner demons”. Some of us have overcome them and some are still battling. Bobby Brown had every right to be at the funeral of his EX WIFE because in my heart and soul I do believe he loved Whitney. He also had an obligation to be their to support Bobbi Kristina. Although he only spent 15 minutes with them, he did part with dignity with his entourage. As dysfunctional as the choice is to bring 8 more people with you to your ex’s funeral, it does make a lot of sense knowing how his ex-relatives felt about him, and he had Whitney’s step-children w/him. Say what you want about Bobby, Whitney was from THE BLOCK, so she has always been the party girl. She is from Newark, NJ and has always had access to things right in her neighborhood. No disrespect intended, however NO ONE CAN PRESSURE YOU INTO DOING THINGS YOU DON’T WANT TO DO!!!!! It was Whitney’s time to go on to take her eternal rest and SHE IS THE LUCKY ONE. Let’s keep Bobby in our prayers to stay around a little longer so that he may serve his full purpose in life. Hopefully part of that will mean getting a normal life back for the sake of his children.

You know people are a trip…..the family speak on the haterd for bobbyn however, he did not introduce her to drugs..when they saw her or them out of control they should have help them both…no one knows what kind of pain the two were going through..the devil is busy all the time and we as people allow him to enter our hearts, mind body and soul….my prays goes out to their daughter because rightnow the focus is and should be on her….she needs our pray because she to can get lost in all this….so with all said lets stop bashing and pray. Whitney will always be the Queen and no matter what she did or how she lived her life she doesn’t have to answer to me are the world but to our God….

She was a grown women who lived her life the way she wanted to live her life. She loved Bobby Brown no matter what and never spoke bad about him. To ask this man and his kids to move 3 times was letting him know that he was not welcomed. I think he had respect for his ex-wife, his daughter and the rest of the family and decided to leave. Today will not happen again and they can’t make this up… they were wrong on this one.

If you are not an eye witness then you are a false witness, it takes two people to create a marriage and two people to destroy a marriage and both have admitted to their weaknesses and failures , neither of them were angels , as God`s living word says, “..our righteousness is as filthy rags.
Houston was alone in her hotel room bathroom when she overdosed , not even her ex-husband was with her , she was alone as in the same as her daughter when the powers that be insulted and humiliated Mr. Brown into leaving God`s house of prayer separating their child from him whilst her mothers dead body lies in repose at the front of the church , both Mom and Dad gone , everyone happy ?
Bet they didn`t ask Jesse or Al to move three times ?

He paid his respects. He should have been seated with family period as his children and Bobby-Christina are siblings. All that petty BS should is out the door when a tragedy happens. Bobby was not the cause of her death and his daughter needs him and that should be supported by Whitney’s family.
Honestly he can still pay his respects in some other thoughtful way, that will allow for him and his children to say goodbye.

If he was really there to pay his respect then he should have been doing the “Funeral seat shuffel “all afternoon if that is what it would take for him to say final goodbyes. Any way peace to all of them especailly her daughter who I fear is heading for her own tragedy in light of the folks who hung arund with her mother.

We try to project what we want on this man. …mainly from what we seen on reality tv. …it was chaos , yes. But I bet they enjoyed some really incredible times together in the begining & thru-out. That’s probably why he needed to be there. Sharing an addiction with someone is mighty bittersweet. One second you’re using together , everything is plentiful & your career is sky high. Years later, what goes up comes down syndrome sets in, the fat times turn thin then one turn on the other when stashes get low. Maybe this is a horrible scenario to sum. But this is the way it is. They lived & loved & lost. Maybe that’s all of our stories but with different personal stories. I loved Whitney’s voice, I never bought her cds, but now that she’s gone it seems a piece of America has passed. She was just so beautiful & what a voice & to see someone who can be so holy turn to have vices & be controlled by them. I do think maybe she was unimpressed with some of the superstar stuff & just became insular…for too long. & it was too difficult to come back.

I would like to propose 1 more way this could of happened. When I’ve had to play a gig I would have panic attacks all day long, couldn’t stop thinking ‘ok i got a gig’, nothinng else could enter my mind. this would make me take my anxiety meds early to quell the nerves, then a little later I’d have to drink a large latte because then I was too sleepy. Then I would get wired again with more coffee & back out with the anxiety pills…..It would happen all day long…Back & forth …..I believe their is an anxiety sometimes to playing that makes you start ‘rollercoasting’ with your meds & you lose track & if you mix in alcohol & maybe she has a different pick me up than coffee. Anyway , that happens to me, but I haven’t died yet. I stopped playing gigs after work.. It ruins my work day.

I’ve read all the comments, and I’m SMH!!! Everyone wants to put blame on Bobby, and none on Whitney. What do you think would happen to a young out of control person, when they have millions?. He had more money to get him in more trouble. Whitney knew about his arrests, and the drugs he was doing. She still asked him out. She was the older person in that relationship. If she was as innocent as everyone is to believe, why would she want to date someone like him? I feel she saw someone she could be herself with, and he wouldn’t judge her cause he was doing the same thing.

In defense for Bobby Brown, the very people who are making judgments are the very people in church every Sunday praising the Lord, it is no man’s or woman’s right to judge this man…that is Gods job, Bobby did not kill Whitney, she was a strong minded woman who made her own decisions in life. All these people pointing fingers & making accusations also have judgement day! Remember how God forgave the world of our sins for what was done to his beloved son Christ our Lord…it is very sad that someone would be denied the opportunity to grieve for not only a loved one but an ex-wife, mother of his child, & friend. Those of you who voice negative opinions of this whole ordeal should be ashamed of yourselves! It just shows that the devil is very busy right now (CHECK YOUR SELVES BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELVES)

Given Bobby Brown’s sorry history of domestic violence against Whitney, I can understand them being a little suspicious of his presence there. But his behavior was unimpeachable today, and they were the brutes. He should be allowed to sit with his daughter; that is customary at funerals. (Having said that, I am no fan of either Whitney’s or Bobby’s history of drug abuse, which is such a waste.)

i remember when Whitney was married to Bobby and he drained her of her money… there was no good news about how he treated her and if i remember correctly he was also violent… yet now he wants to be the superstar at her funeral… he should have quietly sat down and followed directions… not about you Bobby but all about the woman you did not treat right when you were married to her. What did you do with all the money you stole from her…?

All these concerns are good,but Whitney will not return. Bobby is yet here and so are you. Please pray for his recovery while he remains here on earth. {lease pray that she make it in thought those gates.That’s whats really important!!

All of you posting about things you know nothing of no one knows how she pasted away no one was present. All of you taken up for Bobby Brown leaving the funeral no one asked him to leave he left on his own HIS LOSER if he cared so much about his ex wife or HIS DAUGHTER no matter what he would have stayed!!! Everyone is so concerned about who started who on drugs but fact one again no one asked Bobby Brown to leave FACT! And while everyone downs this woman even after death remember she still is a HUMAN BEING a Child LOST HER MOTHER AND A MOTHER LOST HER CHILD!!!! SO HOW ABOUT SHOWING SOME RESPECT!!

The way Bobby Brown was treated at the funeral was wrong, he had the right to be there for his daughter. He had his other children with him who loved Whitney as well, STOP BLAMING BOBBY FOR THIS UNFORTUNATE DEATH OF HIS EX-WIFE WHITNEY!!

This did not suprise me, doesn’t matter who turn who on to what, they were husband and wife. Bobby may have failed as being a husband but his failure he did not complete, he was given up on and left without what was said not a dime. Today he lives on, and I hope his daughter realize what her father is truly made of, he is a man, not a perfect man, he has contributed life to the world. I hope he live on for a long time and watch his children’s, children grow before his eyes. Prosper from his experiences and life a great life. I thank New Edition for opening the door for him once again. With all that has happen their is a life of creations that can be worked. I only hope the best for Mr. Brown and may his blessing’s flow greatly and hopefully we all can learn something positive and regal from this all. Good evening.

My God Let’s get it straight. It’s not about who started what first. The fact remains there is a broken family that needs to be brought back together. Apparently you all didn’t see the hurt on one of Bobby Brown’s older sons face when he couldn’t property pay respect to Whitney Houston. It was too sad. At some point, you must forgive and move forward. We can’t change the pass but we can do things a little differently in the future. Daddy(Bobby Brown) is the only parent Bobbi Kristina has living. So man please don’t take him from her. She needs him. WWJD Let’ move forward and be more Christ like in our Christian walk God.

I just want to say that still in this day and age, it all still comes down to Race! The color of our skin, and what is truly said is that Our own People (black folks) have been so brainwashed by America, that we don’t even realize what we are doing. Everyone wants to make a spectacle out of her death and how she died, & or how she was found. Did everyone not see this man when he was kicked off of two & a half men, how all over the place he was, yet all folks could do was shout, raise up and cheer and back him for going aganist what society says! this man was on drugs, admitted to being on drugs, said he didnt need rehab,and everyone thought it was GREAT! By my gosh let a Black woman admitt to using, saying she had a problem, that she prayed that God wuld lift her up, & help her to stay sober, go to rehab, and admitt to taking it ONE DAY AT A TIME! Gosh we have no compashion! we say she wasn’t trying, she never got sober,she was using till the day she passed, All w/o any evidence, why B/C OF THE COLOR OF HER SKIN! We shuld all be ashamed, for the person who has never made a mistake, or never asked for forgiveness, please Stand before the world & hve your live put under a microscope & examined with a fine tooth comb, then let us see how squeaky clean your come out, when it’s all said & Done! SHE IS HOME PLEASE ALLOW HER TO REST IN PEACE!

“The fact that B Brown stands up in the Church….I presume walks up the aisle to “kiss” WHittney good bye and then makes a grand exit says all you need to know about the man…..EGO EGO EGO…”
I have to agree especially when you are, (and I’m sure he was), aware that the service was being streamed worldwide. I still maintain that were it me they could have moved me 20 times, and prevented me from seeing my daughter, BUT my daughter would have known that I had been there and was available for her had she wished to speak. This was just a juvenile act of trying to upstage and get some publicity. Unfortuntely, (justly or unjustly so) Bobby Brown will become known as the man who killed Whitney Houston. You reap what you sow? I suppose its up for debate.

I think that how the family or security treated Bobby Brown and his family is disgusting! The media keeps saying he had an “entourage” most of that entourage was his other children! Which means for most of their lives those children were Whitney’s too (which is why she paid the child support for them)… For anyone to exclude the other kids is cruel! I have step children and if/when I die I would turn over in my grave if my family treated my stepchildren as anything other than mine! They are to sit in the front row with their sisters because we are all one family. I looked at the video of Bobby and “his entourage” arriving and I only saw 6 people. Something even said that four of the five sat in the front pew. Which means there were only 5 people! Even still what kind of people excludes her entire other family? She had other family for 17 years! What makes the entertainers that she barely even knew more worthy of paying their respects than the other side of the family that she married into and had relationships with as well? An invite was given to Ray J, his sister Brandy and their mother! What is that about? But they dissed B. Brown’s children? Come on now!!! That was WRONG!!!

“being asked to move once or twice, i understand. but being asked to move three times, damn. i mean they made room for the entire winans clan….”
Well, remember… according to reports he wasn’t welcomed. I do believe that to some extent and that is why I feel he needed to be the bigger person and “roll with it.” In my opinion, it was a mistake to bring his new wife and their children to the service. Yep! biologically they’re all family but if the true emotions are not there (yet), you’re only making a situation worse. I think he should have came alone, paid his respects, attempt to speak with Cissy and his daughter (and if not given that opportunity just leave it alone), and then head out to do his concert. But hey! He’s getting his name in the papers more because of his tawdry behavior rather than acting like a mature adult. Which is better?

I view the home going of Whitney Houston . It was very moving with respect of how her mother wanted it. It was a home going that’s expected by most Baptist Services, nothing extra added.
Yes, I heard about Bobby Brown late arrival with numerous amounts of extra people, who just could not be seated. Rev, Jackson keeping the conversation gracefully stated to CNN Don Lemon that; Bobby Brown decided to leave the services because his entourage could not be seated . Bobby Brown was told he could not sit in the front pew, because those seats were reserved for the family. Hearing that, Bobby Brown chose to leave, than make a scene. I could not understand how Bobby Brown was not considered family. If anything, he should have been allowed to be seated. His entourage should have been asked to leave. I loved the sermon, the message of the Eulogy. It’s a big difference to talk the talk, than to walk the walk. Most folks forget all about God’s Umbrella of protection and how it truly works. Anger God and God will lower that Umbrella on you, fast and in a hurry! `If you are truly ready to except God in your heart, you also must be ready to walk the full length with God, through Jesus Christ. Stop uttering those words about loving God from your mouth, with out truly feeling God in your heart. Knowing in your times of trouble, no-matter what burdens you think that you have! Close your eyes reach-out through your heart and know that God our heavenly father, will be with you. That exactly what I mentioned to my daughter Jeanine, that I thought the Eulogy would be all about. Whitney, will tomorrow view this Earth on the surfaced for her final time. Her final Earthly trip. From then, God will make that decision , if she will ever be looking down on us from above. Think not what she was or what she did? That do not matter now. For in the eyes of God, if you understand the words of God. God speaks of taking care of the sick, injured, babies and fools, for they can not care of themselves. Or have no understanding of what they are doing. Whitney, your worries are all over now, Sweet Voice, Angel Singer, rest for now, in eternal peace.

didnt he used to beat her up in the 90′s while he was on drugs and alcahol. i understand the kids why did he come. did he want to appoligize for the assaults 20 years later?
Posted by: carlb | February 18, 2012, 9:47 pm 9:47 pm
I have not seen where security has made any comment on this account of what happened. To hear only one side of a story and believe it is not intelligent. If Mr. Brown really believed this was a day to honor Ms. Houston, he would not have brought any attention to himself by leaving or commenting on it later. If he really did not want to cause a scene he would have sat down where ever he was seated. If he really cared about Bobbie, he would never have hurt her by leaving, regardless. I just hope she did not see him leave and then have to sit there afterwards through the service. If he really cared about his other children, he had the perfect opportunity to show them how to be respectful and oh can we say it? humble. I am not judging Mr. Brown, I just think there was room here for a little more discretion, much needed discretion at a time like this.
Posted by: Teresa | February 18, 2012, 9:49 pm 9:49 pm
Bobby Brown had some nerve showing up. Everyone that truly knew Whitney knew that she was a church going god fearing girl. After meeting up with Bobby Brown, the one that introduced her to drugs and the party life, he is ultimately responsible in some part to her demise. Drug addiction shows no prejudice to the rich or the poor. It is a terrible sickness that people just don’t understand. When they treat addicts like they do the sick and not like an outcast, maybe this country will not be a bunch of pill popping, crack smoking , pot smoking, heroin addicted mess. Please let us all learn the powerful message that drugs kill. Sometimes not right away, but a long drawn out process that drags down everyone you love.

It doesn’t matter who turned who on to drugs. He was extremely abusive to her (emotionally) to the point her own daughter told her to leave him. He is scum. Her mother, Cissy, pulled her out of the home with a court order I believe. He should not even have been present at the funeral. They were both self destructive, but he was also destructive to other people.

Posted by: Paula | February 18, 2012, 10:19 pm 10:19 pm
Bobby was there for his daughter, this is a church where we need to embrace and love one another, and not judge. Treating him like that was in bad taste and unnecessary. As for who introduced who, it does not matter any more, they were both adults, they had the ability to make their own decisions. R.I.P whitney!

Really, it does not matter who turned who on to drugs, they are the only ones who know the truth is if you were there to comfort your daugther, the sit down wherever they seat you, he brought attention to himself for publicity. Does he even have a relationship with BobbiChristina again something only the family knows…..I try not to believe everything the press says. I pray she forever rests in peace. So sad another legend gone too soon.
Posted by: C. Taylor | February 18, 2012, 10:35 pm 10:35 pm
If Bobby didn’t attend the funeral, people would have said something. He’s damned if he do and if he don’t. Once again, she knew what he was about, and this older lady still went after this younger boy. As the older, and mature person, why did she let this teenager drag her down instead of lift him up?
Posted by: tee | February 18, 2012, 10:46 pm 10:46 pm
This whining really irks me: no one knows if he even offered to help with the funeral or the costs, no one comes with an entourage of 9 people ANYWHERE and expects front row seating, let alone to an invitation only event.Maybe few of them even knew her; we don’t know. For all of you who bash her family, maybe Bobby Christina doesn’t want to see him. There was a reason Whitney got full custody. Maybe he was always looking for a handout and now he’s trying to play the doting father to get into her pockets. Maybe people should not judge, just as you say the Christians are, when you are just listening to rumors and bad blood.No one really knows why and what for; notice her family has the dignity to shut up. If he came to support her, he should have stayed. It wasn’t about him. He should have left the group at home and come like he said he intended instead of like a Diva, then pout that he doesn’t get front and center. Who knows what he is capable of.He may have used the opportunity and maybe they know what he is capable of. Let them handle it. Mind your own business.
Posted by: Vickie | February 18, 2012, 10:48 pm 10:48 pm
Those who blame her family as failing the test, not one of them was doing the stopping of him from coming. Its kind of cruel and hard to move people at the last minute so you can fit in 9 uninvited guests for him. He’s the one who made it about himself; the plans had been made before he came. Who in the world thinks they can bring their whole crew and move to the front. Besides, they were divorced. That alone causes problems. This is all speculation; no one really knows who and why this happened. It is you, the criers, who failed. You know nothing of the true story but you cry foul because you heard some gossip and love to bash Christians. You, get your own story straight. THERE ISN’T ANY REAL INDICATION THIS WAS ANYTHING OF BLAME FOR BOBBY AND DRUGS BUT JUST HOW IT LOOKS: LIKE A SELFISH MAN WALKING IN WITH A WHOLE GROUP AND EXPECTING EVERYONE TO MOVE TO ACCOMMODATE THEM. HOW UNBELIEVABLY RUDE.

God Bless Whitney Houston – We love you forever… Now as for Bobbie who showed up to give his respects to his ex-wife with his children not an entourage like the media tried to spin it. That’s like calling the victims of Katrina refuges… This is so sad on so many levels because in honoring Whitney while speaking of the grace, elegance, class, and love she showed people unconditionally, the very people who played a part in developing that character had an opportunity to show people who God is during a world attendance. Just another example of how “religion” and “the church” is making a mockery of itself and the devil continues to get victory during these times. I believe the most powerful thing the church could have done as well as the women who reared this wonderful human being would have made room for Bobbie right by his daughter’s side with all her brothers and sisters she was raised with. That would have been “taking the world to church” and showing us all how powerful the love of God truly is. Don’t just talks about it be about it.

It was wrong for them to treat Bobby so rudely at Whitney’s funeral. He was invited, and others should have respected that. He and his daughter needed to see each other. They should have shown a more Christ-like attitude, especially in a church and at a funeral !
Posted by: Nancy | February 18, 2012, 11:22 pm 11:22 pm
It’s just SAD, to the people who have placed judgement on Bobby should be ashamed of yourself! Also for those who believe that Bobby should have continued to play musical chairs at the funeral are crazy. Bobby should have been allowed to sit up front for the sheer fact of Bobbi Chris. His children could have been seated some where else, but they had every right to be there as well. She was a mother to them too!
Posted by: raej | February 18, 2012, 11:45 pm 11:45 pm
I think we know little about the true relationship that Bobby Brown had with members of Whitney’s
family. I think they just were looking to have a peaceful service for their loved one. All this about
Whitney being on drugs before she met Bobby are not believable. If you look at the coverage
of her interviews it is quite clear the drug problems she had came later. She was a great
talent who left a beautiful legacy of music. The day was about Whitney not Bobby and
trying to get the spotlight for himself doesn’t show respect for his late wife or her family.

OMG! Who CARES if they ask you to move?!?! Is it REALLY that big a deal that you had to leave?They asked him to move…who cares?!? They asked him to move 3 times and didn’t ask anyone else…WHO CARES?!? And he SAYS he left so as to not create a scene…well..what is he doing by issuing a statement? He always has to create some type of sensation so the spotlight gets transferred onto himself. What an egotistical jerk. It’s a funeral and I’m sure “security” (taxpayer dollars at work for a “celebrity…” how telling! ::smirk::) had their reasons. Regardless of what security did, how many times they did it, or if they DID in fact ask him to move and no one else (what a crybaby…wahh wahh…”mommy they made ME move and didn’t make anyone else move…” wahh wahh). He SHOULD HAVE just been a MAN, shut his mouth, moved, and just made sure Bobby Kristina was OK. No one needs to hear his perpetual whining.

This is a shame how they treated her ex husband and stepchildren. No one wants to see their children being treated that way. I would’ve left with my children as well. Her passing was painful for everyone including him regardless of being divorce. So people saying he should’ve shut up and sit down is unnecessary. You wouldn’t know what you’ll do if you were in the same situation.

Bobby did right to come and go because they didn’t want him there anyway. They should have had spaces reserved for him but since they didn’t, it was better he just leave in peace. Stop blaming Bobby for what happened. Water seeks its own level. Whitney was crazy over Bobby and she was as bad for him and he was for her. Blame both of them individually but neither of them forced the other one to do anything they didn’t WANT to do. Only their daughter is to be pitied. Whitney can R.I.P. now. Her daughter still has to live.

We cannot blame Whitney’s family for what happened to Bobby or the pastor of the church – sometimes, folks, people who are seating just make mistakes and there isn’t necessarily any animosity in it. We really don’t know what happened. People make simple mistakes and there is miscommunication. PLUS – the family is grieving and stuff just happens. All to conjecture about Whitney’s family and Bobby – leave it alone. The only thing I do agree with it that Bobby SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRACIOUS – even IF he was done wrong. Stick it out and take the high road – wow what a pun.

As much as I love Whiney’s voice, I have to say,Whitney and her family was some stuck up people, atleast with people that wasn’t in their circle. As for Bobby, She treated him like crap on Being Bobby Brown and now her family is taken over. I guess they need to blame some1 so why not him, like anybody could had told Ms. Houston what to do, put the blame where it should go, and that is with the seller and the user. (TEAMBOBBYBROWN) on this one, sorry Houston family but you’ll were wrong, and Crissy isn’t any better then his other children, so y’all should incourage them to spend more tme together ifamily mean as much as y’all say.

The Houston family invited Bobby Brown to the funeral and allowed him to bring one or two other guests. Instead, he showed up with 10 people. They all wanted to take up the seating in the church and there was no room, and so he left…

This is a prime example of abusing your authority. It is even worse because it happened in a “church”. The security guard should be FIRED and if volunteering never be allowed to be in such a important position. We “black folks” can be our worst enemy!!!!!

Bobby was given an invitation for himself + two guests. He chose to include NINE guests. He is going to try to continue to make money from her superior talent even beyond the grave. I liked the

It sicken me to read how people turn the homegoing of Whithney Houston to be about Bobbie Brown. I read alot of people talking about how Whitney family are pointing the blame. What do yall think you are doing. You don’t really know the whole story, instead of comment on information that might be inaccurate, you should pray about it. Whitney was somebody mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and niece. You don’t know what she told the lord before she took her last breath. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, and the man beside him told him to remember him, and Jesus did. That’s why God sent his only beloving son to die for our sins. People are writing all these negative comment, what do you think you are doing sinning. Putting your mouth on another human being. Regardless of what Whitney Houston when through, It shows she truely loved the Lord. She help other people in my eyes she were an angel. A human that made many mistakes as we all does, not in the same form, but in other ways. If you can sit here in say you are without sin, then you cast the first stone. With that being said. It’s not about Bobbie Brown it was about Whitney Houston. We are reading and listening to different things that might not be true. Remember believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see. Cissy is a woman of God you don’t know the whole story so respect her and the rest of the family. Start reading and listening to different information and running with it like you was there. RIP Whitney Houston I’ll wikk truely always loved you.

From another person standing on the outside looking in. Feeling the pain that Whitney’s family feel. In brings back memories of when I was a young lady, I was raised an only child to my mom and dad. It seemed if I choose to associate with “fast peers” my dad felt that they may do something in which I might be led to do (following others). My parents were well know in the Community, social and civic cycle and they wanted me to be this up standing daughter that did no wrong and as if I didn’t have a mind of my own.. We lived in a middle class neighborhood (at the time), but I could have gone anywhere to do, what I wanted to do, but I was too “independant and “grown”. I got pregnant at a young age, but no one forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. Now as an adult with one son, all I could do was train, nourish, and pray for him. It was only by the grace of God that he never got involved in a destroctive life. Once we do all we can do as parents and keep the communication line open with our children and the Lord (who is or should be the center of our lives) that is basically all we can do. I believe Whitney wanted to see just how interested she could get with this “bad boy” (so perhaps her family may have thought “The forbidden fruit” if you will may) have and as parents wanted her to be with someone more settled and to their liking, and that was like pushing her into his arms. They never seem to accepted him, so anything negative was presented to them, even from Whitney’s on mouth. Not really knowing what really went on in their lives. Both of them laid down and made their beautiful daughter. That is a bond no one can break and although she divorced him (I’m almost sure was at the encouraging of her family) she still loved him in her heart and he still loved her, but being a christian myself we must find away to forgive one another. No one forced her to take anything, but she may have felt if she did it that would please him (reguardless of who’s fault it was) and they could have more in common. It was so sad to know Bobby wasn’t accepted at the funeral even though he was invited, he knew he wasn’t wanted, but just the fact that they shared a child together should have made this occasion a united one. So he could be there for his daughter, that was her mother and unless she agreed not to have him there he should have been able to come for the last good bye to Whitney (A time for forgiveness) if he came proper and respected her family, but it is over now and all parties will have time to search their hearts. I will keep Bobbi Christina, her dad “Bobby” and The Houston family in my prayers, as we all should.

Whitney was the one taking her daughter to bars and letting her drink alcohol the week the Whitney died. Maybe Bobby turned Whitney on to new drugs (if he didn’t someone else surely would because addicts find their sources sooner or later), but he wasn’t the one who kept smoking crack (yup that will do it) until he lost his voice like his wife did, and as far as I have read, wasn’t taking his seventeen year old to bars surrounded by enablers.

for all of you who said bobby should have not come or should have just moved like the security asked, you all should be ashamed to even think any of that bs was right. for what you say or think, there is an evil spirit in you all and the lord see’s you all doing the devils work. to many people walk in the bs that the media puts out and become that bs themselves…. i rebuke you devils in the name of JESUS !!!!
Posted by: bigmike | February 19, 2012, 1:27 pm 1:27 pm
Out of respect for the “Family”, Bobby should have adhered to their wishes and brought 3 people. This was not about him. And, if security did not allow him around Bobbi Kris, then it was for a reason. She is 18 so if she wanted to see her dad she could have. Maybe she did not wish to see him. We do not know the ins and outs of the relationship and this poor child had to deal with a lot from both parents, in addition to his cheating, and physically abusing her mom.
Cissy did not owe bobby anything… Lets remember she lost her child.

For all you good folks who say Whitney turned Bobby to coke just make me LMAO! I personally saw Bobby use coke several years BEFORE he married Whitney in the back of a limo. I truly felt sorry for her and questioned her judgement then and knew she was going to end up like this sooner or later. And still stupid women like “Bad Boys” and more will end up dead at a young age. Make no mistake Bobby “Ruined” her. I am just sorry the family could not have prevented this train wreak at the start. With a father like Bobby the daughter will soon follow her mother, just you watch.

All grown folks are responsible for their their own actions. To blame Bobby for Whitney’s downfall, is nothing more than an excuse. It still does not take away from talent and gift that she was blessed with. The right thing to do, as anyone who claims they worship and love the lord, is to let Bobby GRIEVE, just as any other human being would do so. We all come with sins and faults. Whitney loved him as a human being, and I have NO doubt that she would have wanted him there. Her family should have honored her, by allowing him to grieve the proper way. He is the father Of her child.

I’m not sure if some are displaying plain stupidity, or ignorance. Intelligence says that Bobby Brown was know before the black community, and accepted by the black community. Long before he knew who Whitney Houston was. So, where did the opportunity, for, when, What, and How? was Whitney was going to help Bobby Brown? Ignorance sure is Bliss, when you resort to thinking that Bobby is going to Punch Whitney Out, one more time, before she’s buried. The problem isn’t Bobby. The problem is that there is a whole lot of Stupidity, and ignorance going around. Please Don’t mention that Girl (Rhee can’t sing), who can’t sing a damn note, about some umbrella’s , in the same sentence as Whitney or Bobby Brown. Some people are pure Tone death , to even be listening to her no singing behind.

Bobby Brown is a big star. Why he plays pubs and taverns all over the place.
His last recording didnt make the playlists, but so what? He’s Houstons ex and he’s gonna use it till he dies. He was at the funeral to see if the family could spot him another $100,000 since his band is not doing so well. During his marraige to Houston, they went through 100 million dollars of her fortune. When she met him, his house was in foreclosure. He’s a typical opportunist and husltler.

He wasn’t with a 9 person entourage he was with his 3 children he had before Bobbi Kristina, and his brother who used to work for Whitney .
His son Bobby Brown Jr was crying in the videos I saw. I didn’t see 9 people.
His son wrote this on his facebook.
” Fame everything it seems. I’ll never let them transform me. Everything is a show to these people. We came to show respect. And they tried to make it a ‘show’. Krissi I love you with all of my heart. Whitney I love you with all my heart. Rest Easy step momma.
”
Whitney and Bobby did have issues while being together but they were together for 15 years and remained friends even as Bobby remarried and had another child. Both of Bobby Brown’s parents died last year and Whitney Houston sung at his mom’s funeral just months ago.
She sang at the funeral for her former mother in law, someone she was not related to by blood or by law anymore and he couldn’t be near his daughter (who just ate lunch with him and Whitney weeks ago despite the rumors that they are estranged) and his kids couldn’t see their step mom off, the mother of their half sister? Ridiculous.

It’s really easy to create the spectre of the Big Bad Black Man who abuses the poor little church-going girl.
Every tragedy has to have a villain so I imagine they’ve picked Bobby to be it. Mr Brown, sir, I know it isn’t fair, but you can stand taller than any of your critics by maintaining your dignity. Nobody wins in a case like this.

No matter what Bobby or Whitney did or did not do. One thing for sure a child is hurting deeply. Bobby Brown should have stayed at that church, even if he had to sit on the floor. That would have spoke more of his love for Bobbie Krissy and Whitney.

Bobby was a joke. Had he not brought all his hoes with him to the funeral and stuck with one woman in his life, he may have had a more honorable reception. These boys in the black community need to get their lives straight and become men.

What difference does it make who first did drugs or who didn’t. That argument is ridiculous. Who first gave me food? I’m now overweight so is it my mother’s fault! They both could have said, no thanks. But this is a story of cigarette addiction. Whatever else she did was to ease the pain of knowing cigarettes were ruining her voice but she kept on lighting up. Why America still allows the sale of cigarettes is murder.
Posted by: Mad3cat | February 20, 2012, 12:59 pm 12:59 pm
BS! Brown can put all the spin on it he wants, but the truth is that he left when his entourage was refused entry. As usual, he tried to make it all about himself. The who turned whom onto drugs is totally irrelevant; who beat whom is not!
Posted by: BermudaBound | February 20, 2012, 1:55 pm 1:55 pm
I feel Bobby was disrespected at the service. He was Whitney’s ex-husband and the father of her daugther. Bobby only had his three children with him, not 9 people as the media reported. They should have seated him and left him alone. Why did security have to keep moving him so that the stars could have a seat. The family invited him there, why would they wait, for him to show up and then not want him there. I also saw the interview with Jennifer Holiday on HLN and she did say Whitney was doing drugs long before she met Bobby. In fact Whitney and her bother was addict in the late 80′s. He was a herion addicted, but have been clean, for many years.
Posted by: ali | February 20, 2012, 2:27 pm 2:27 pm
These are the facts:
1. Funeral attendace, by family choice, was by invitation only.
2. Brown was invited.
3. Brown showed up with a large retinue. The retinue was not invited.
4. Sharpton had to clam Bown down when the retinue was to be seated elsewhere. Brown then
approached the casket, kissed it and then left.
5. What Brown did was classless and wrong. He should have respected the family’s wishes from the start but felt he was special.

Stop the blame game. I too met someone who was a negative force,in my,life but at the end of the day it is our fault to stay and indulge in that lifestyle. Bobby and Whitney stepchildren should had guarantee seats weather! End of story! She helpes raise Bobby kids, her stepkids…why deny them the right to pay their LAST respect to her. He was not a celeb to her, he is the exhusband who was still close to her! Grow up world!

If Bobby was with the family for the sake of Whitney and his daughter.that should have been honored. If not why allow him to come. I offer my condolence to Bobby Christina, Whitney’s Mother, Bobby Brown and the rest of her family.
My the Lord continue to strengthen you in this difficult time.

If Bobby Brown was not to be at the funeral, then why did they even let him in the church and why did security ask him to move a few times before realizing that he was not suppose to be there? It’s really sad that people do devilish things to one another at a time like this. But what makes it really bad is that its so called CHURHCH FOLKS. Whitney really did love Bobby and everyone needs to just face the facts and let it go. If she didn’t care about him she wouldn’t have stayed with him as long as she did. She could’ve have left along time ago. So for all the GOSSIPERS, HATERS, DEMONS,AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANT TO CALL THEM, PLEASE LET WHITNEY HOUSTON BE AT REST WITH THE LORD AND KEEP HER FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS.

The lady died, it doesn’t matter why, it doesn’t matter who/what contributed. Let her go and RIP. I’m not a Bobby Brown fan but I hope he won’t try to capitalize off this incident.

Posted by: Librarian53 | February 21, 2012, 8:10 am 8:10 am
Why didn’t he just move, shut up and sit down? Instead he had to act like the child that he is and take is as a personal insult – which, whether it was or not, the bigger man would have done what they asked with more courtesy and grace than anyone had ever seen before. He made it all about someone “dissing” his family instead of “being there for the children” or just being there to honor Whitney. Sit down Bobbie Brown – for good!
Posted by: P.C. McMeans | February 21, 2012, 12:52 pm 12:52 pm
George Brown I agree with your statement. Bobby left on his own decision. And once again why did he feel he needed to comment about his early departure to the media? Could he not had said “No Comment”. But yet he felt a need to give this scenario on why he left. I am a Bobby Brown (New Edition fan) so it is nothing against him. I honestly don’t believe the family knew nothing of this going on. They were distraught. The question is did it really happen. Maybe he felt he didn’t get enough attention. If his daughter wanted to see him wouldn’t she had seen him when he viewed the body and went to him. He moved on with his life after the divorce. Let’s see he was with Super Head and then the woman he had the child by two years ago. Which he had in tow at the funeral. Every site I look on this story about him leaving is on here. He telling it to everyone he can. He needs to keep his name out there. I believe he was jealous of her career. He was washed up a long time ago. His show wouldn’t have been possible without her. So Bobby, do your thing on the reunion tour and hopefully it’s better than the first one you all did years ago. I was so disappointed in you.

First of all Bobby Brown said he would be attending with 3 (three) guest. When he got there he had 9 (nine) guest!!!Peolple were suppose to give thier seats up for him and his guest? Then he tried to approach his daughter during the service. Security would not let him because SHE did not want to talk to him, before, during nor after. If he wanted to attend he should have done just that. Came in sat down and shut his mouth. But no he wants attention. It is not about him, but Whitney. If he ever loved Whitney he would not write a book trashing her!!!!Poor Bobby playing the victim.
Posted by: Carolyn Askew | February 24, 2012, 2:14 pm 2:14 pm
I acknowledge that Whitney was doing drugs and drinking before Bobby Brown came into the picture. But I have a question, and I don’t know all the facts/details, but why didn’t her mother, friends and other relatives not stage an intervention? I read in an issue of People magazine commemorating her that a friend of hers went to check on her. This friend went into her bedroom and found the room a mess with clothes everywhere, furniture out of place and dirty dishes on the dresser with caked-on food. Of course, Whitney was found unconscious. Again I ask, why didn’t Whitney’s loved ones stage an intervention?!

Why is it o.k to just slap him on the wrist once again??
Who says this man who may have killed somebody(s)can be let off the hook while the innocent do justice for his preserverance?
Mr. Brown, You are a vile human being.
I say this for all the excuses you make for not cleaning up your act where innocent souls die because of people like you, all the times the law saves you through your bad bad behavior and the innocent go to prison, using our tax dollars to justify your behavior, jeopardizing the pride ,values and morals of your brothers and sisters by using your fortune in vain..
