Bobby Brown: I Left Whitney Houston Funeral Early Over Mistreatment, Seating

(GettyImages.com)

Bobby Brown left Whitney Houston’s funeral shortly after arriving on Saturday due to an argument over seating.

The New Edition singer was seen exiting New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ only minutes after the service began, leading to speculation and conflicting reports about the reason for his short stay.

He just released the following statement, blaming security personnel.

“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.”

“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.”

Amid earlier confusion, Reverend Al Sharpton tweeted, “I am at Whitney’s funeral. I spoke with Bobby Brown trying to calm him down and not distract from the services. Today is about Whitney!”

Sharpton added, “I did my best out here. Can’t tweet from inside the sanctuary, I hope the press will not distort the day.”

Earlier, TMZ reported that Brown had a plus-two for service, but wanted to bring in an entourage of nine people, getting upset when the family allegedly refused to seat them all.

He and Houston were married from 1992 to 2007.

    It was wrong to treat him like he is bobbi k father and that shoulld stand for something

  • Anonymous

    I agree with the commenters here that said that they should have let him stay, but I have one thing to say. It was an invite only thing wasn’t it. Why couldn’t he just come and leave it at that? I know he needs his support system, but this was not about Bobby. It was about Whitney. Maybe I’m looking at that wrong but just what I think.

    I really need to go and stop commenting on posts. I have things to do. bye everyone.

  • French Flies

    You mean the mother of his “child”. There are MANY mothers to his “children”.

  • French Flies

    I agree, Strawberry. He was no longer her husband. If he was there to support his daughter, I am sure she would have had him by her side. Perhaps his 24 hour delay in coming out to her, when she had been hospitalized twice, cooled their relationship? I have no idea, but I do know that if he wanted to be there, he would have stood in the back if he had to. But Bobby is a princess with few tools in his toolbox to relate to others with.

  • Menesia Malangu

    fuck u all bitches.. who ar commenting negatives ths about Bobby Brown,,, u have got issues in ur relationships 2 as well as marriages,,,so he is not perfect 2.. fuck ur ass…all nigas!

  • Regina1180

    I would feel bad for him if he didn’t try to bring 9 people in with him. But them again, it feels to me that this funeral was put on as if it were an awards show anyway. Even my local news channel was live streaming it. They should have let him stay, just ask his entourage to leave.

  • Mm

    Get a reality check everyone please pay respect Whitneys day and he just couldn’t resist trying it be victim.
    God Bless her soul now at rest

  • Jennifer G

    I know how Bobby Brown and his children feel.It’s a horrible feeling.It happened to me at my own mother’s funeral.I’m proud of the way Bobby Brown has handled this terrible situation.Bobby Brown was Whitney Houston first and only true love.God is love so love one another.Jennifer

  • Idohair3368

    I am so glad that Bobby Brown was there for Kristina, she needed to know that he was welling to take the criticism and humiliation for her and that he was there to support her. Bobby”s children had a relationship with Whitney also and should have been able to attend . She was their step mom for at least 15 years. That is along time to be in a child”s life and not to have an opportunity to attend the home going ceremony.

  • French Flies

    He wasn’t there and he took nothing for her. He left quickly because he felt disrespected since he brought 9 people for three seats. It appears that self-sacrifice isn’t his strong suit.

    But I do agree that his children should have been able to attend if they wished to. However we have no idea the quality of those relationships in the three years since their divorce. I think public sentiment should err on the side of Whitney’s family for knowing who she would have welcomed at her funeral. Like Bobby said recently at a concert, it’s time for him to “move on”.

  • Fwdi08

    Death is an enemy of us all, especially when it comes knocking unexpectedly. The nerves of all Whitney’s family and friends are raw. Decisions had to be made quickly with these raw nerves. After some time has passed all involved will look back at this situation and probably have regrets concerning certain decisions that were made. In the end of all of this Bobby Brown is still Kristina’s father and nothing can change that. He should be allowed to have a full share in her life especially now that she has lost her mother so tragically. I realize that certain ones may feel that they have to protect her but she is a grown woman now and I am sure that her mother instilled great values and principles within her. She will need the presence of her father in her life to move forward and find her way. No one should stand in the way of that, not her grandmother Cissy, her Aunt Dione or anyone else. Whitney and Bobby were blessed with Kristina and it is their responsibility according to God’s word the Bible to raise her with the assistance of family and friends. I hope that the ill feelings for Bobby Brown will not stand in the way of Kristina having a loving relationship with her father. Whether she knows it or not she needs her father in her life. My heart goes out to Whitney’s family, friends and fans but especially to Bobby Kristina and Bobby Brown. May you both find the will and strength to go on.

  • amazed

    He chose not to support his baby by leaving.

  • Addy

    When you are no longer married to the person for whom the funeral is held, then you are treated just like anyone else. You sit where they put you. It’s hard to seat 9 people together, especially when they were expecting only 2. It would have been respectful for Bobby to sit where he could and try to be calm. The funeral was not about him at all. I would have just sat wherever until the funeral was over. This was a time to show respect and above all patience, which is not easy for some people who are self-centered. I question whether he was there for show. This was a time for calmness and love for the person who will no longer be here.. RIP Whitney.

    wanna little cheese with than whine, Bobby? If I were your daughter I’d ask to be renamed to anything other than Bobbi.

  • summer

    Funeral Seating Mistreatment…I see a new social disorder has now been born. Bobby Brown should stop thinking about himself and start trying to take care of and give comfort to his daughter. Although I doubt he’s ever done that based on his actions during this tragedy. I’m really happy Bobbi-Kristina is surrounded by strong family and friends because Mr. Brown is going to try to milk this to the last drop of publicity for himself. Wonder if he and Michael Jackson’s father went to the Three Stooges School of Forget My Loved One…What About Me?

  • SHAINER16@HOTMAIL.COM

    THEY SHOULD HAVE KICKED HIM OUT BOOBBBYYYY AAAASSSSSHHHHHOOOLLLLLLEEEEE THIS GUY MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH

  • NoSincerityBobby

    OK people…HERE IT IS. IF BOBBY WERE SINCERE ABOUT SUPPORTING HIS DAUGHTER IN THE WAKE OF SUCH A TRADEGY>>>HE WOULD HAVE SHOWED UP EARLY AND ALONE>>WAITING TO CONSOLE HER THE BEST WAY HE COULD> HIS OTHER CHILDREN STILL HAVE THEIR MOTHER’S…AND BTW BOBBY BROWN AS A MOTHER OF A 19yr OLD DAUGHTER I CAN TELL YOU THAT IS WHAT WHITNEY WOULD HAVE WANTED FROM THE MAN SHE CHOOSE TO HAVE A CHILD WITH.
    My heart goes out to Whitney’s Mother And Daughter Bobbi Kristina as well as her family,friend’s and fan’s.

  • VINTAGEBOBBY

    If in fact he was aked to move…he should have a thousand times if asked to on this day. Just proves exactly what kind of man he is.
    You tell your other children to stay with their Mother’s and you donot leave your daughter at her Mother’s funeral. Coward he remain’s.
    He is in no way MISUNDERSTOOD.
    And your right no one is perfect…but that does not excuse him leaving…even if he had to stand in the back alone.
    His priority should have been to stay.
    I am 49 and have watched this whole public life of their’s unfold.
    He did the wrong thing today and will not get another chance to be in that position for his only child with Whitney Houston.
    Selfish Man as usual.

  • RIPWhitney

    Whitney is Dead and Bobby Brown is cocrened about himself being “Mistreated”
    What a jerk!

  • Sad4BobbiKristina

    They were going to..He was informed before he arrived with his entourage and he knew it would make a bit of a problem..just an lame excuse for him to leave…so he was not confronted by anyone.
    He didnot care about supporting his daughter or he would have done just that.
    He wanted to play the victim.

  • stork

    I am so highly disappointed that Bobby couldn’t show respect for Whitney even at her funeral. It was his last chance to show it. She stuck by him through a lot. Seating is such a trivia thing compared to showing respect to Whitney and his daughter. He shows that he has a short fuse with things involved with Whitney. A shame!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UJNWLGSYNC654GWSFDPLNZUB7Q KimChi

    It does…it stood for, ‘stand outside’. The family couldn’t stand Bobby for years and the family made no secret of that. If his daughter REALLY wanted him to stay, we would have seen her tear away towards him. He was grand-standing, again and especially in this situation, the family did the right thing. If you’re a parent…imagine putting your young daughter to rest knowing all of the drama she went through with her ex and still inviting him and his string of issues to her funeral. Cissy Houston is a class act and did the right thing for her daughter’s sake to the end.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UJNWLGSYNC654GWSFDPLNZUB7Q KimChi

    Bobbi Kristina said in an interview that her and her mother, Whitney were very close…like sisters. Reportedly, Bobby dropped the ball on connected with their daughter and she lost faith in him as a father and TOLD her mother to divorce him. That’s deep…the man needs LOTS of therapy. A good father would have been received much differently and if his family was split into a thousand separate directions, so be it…he would have gone with the flow. Bobby Brown always plays the victim – he has and still needs help.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UJNWLGSYNC654GWSFDPLNZUB7Q KimChi

    That’s what happened…they told him he could stay. BOBBY chose to leave…it was all or nothing…his decision.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UJNWLGSYNC654GWSFDPLNZUB7Q KimChi

    Death is a part of life. Death is not an enemy whether it’s expected or not. Death is horrible to the selfish…if you believe what the scriptures tell us. It’s time to move onto God’s next plan. Remember her, celebrate the life she put in our hearts and wish her resting in peace with God’s speed.

  • What this article fails to mention is that he showed up late to the funeral. That is why he was turned away. You don’t show up fashionably late to a funeral and expect to get in.

  • He showed up late to the funeral. That is why he was turned away. He wanted in after the doors were closed and the service started. Perhaps he should’ve been like all the other caring people and showed up on time.

    The family couldn’t stand Bobby for years and the family made no secret of that.

    Exactly. So why would you think it wouldn’t be beyond them to fuck him around at her funeral. He said he was asked to move on multiple occasions BUT NO ONE ELSE. Reads to me like they were fucking with him. And on the day of his wifes funeral, you’re already at an all time low and emotions are running high. It doesn’t take much else to set things off from there.

    You are very hateful of this man and you don’t, and never will know their full story. Shit is often left out, and stories biased. Just look at how everyone blamed him for her drug taking. Oh puh-leeze. She was a grown fucking woman and had no problem doing what the fuck she wanted.

  • Y F Locke

    If the relationship with her father or step-siblings was as it should have been, there is every chance Bobbi Kristina would have allowed for he and all to be with her. Brown only has to be observed in past celebrity film footage to see his immature discomfit with Whitney’s success which was always clearly evident. His present crocodile tears and selfish attempts to surround himself with those NOT invited was, to my thinking, pre-planned to buffer him from those at the funeral who might have disapproved of him attending. To leave early with his excuses in tow demonstrated that his declasse actions were those of an overgrown spoiled brat. RIP Whitney.

  • Bclpraisezone

    NO ALL OF THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT TRUE! You never know what two people go through in a marriage. These people call themselves CHRISTIANS and turned down the father of Whitney’s daughter and he was not allowed to see her. FOR REAL? What would Jesus do? They cannot fault this man for the downfall of Whitney. She’s much older than he and I’m sure she was doing drugs long before she met him. Wake up people!!! She’s A Grown Women who I’ve known to wear black and white converse and levi’s with cuff’s in them. I’m sure she was a lil gansta too. The Whitney that we all saw was a diva but behind the scenes she was just like any other black women. Whitney liked drugs and younger men.If you look at the repetitious pattern she like the BAD BOYS. So, what did that make her. You breed what you are. And, for those of you who thought she was so in love with RAY J he was just a side-kick just like a kick stand on a bike. Face the truth, this women was still in love with Bobby Brown and she could not find anything to replace her broken heart. That’s right she basically died of a broken heart and that void in her life was never fulfilled. Yes, maybe sexually with Ray J but it was a substitute because the woman was still in love with Bobby. So, I say to Bobby her family had her for one day but you had her for a life time and they can never get much personal time as you did Bobby with her. We all have out faults, I have made some bad choices in my life. But, at the end of the day the question is… Did you learn from them? And will you be the stand up father to teach your kids that it is not right to bring your women down or spit in her face. But, you are forgiven by God and only God can judge you. And to his daughter, enough damage has been done throughout the years don’t let your family put bad thoughts and tant your life to make you wither away into a drug world. Be strong and be better than your mother. You can do it with God on your side. You came from two powerful parents who had they’re flaws but they were young, rich, winners in they’re day. Maybe if someone reach out and touch them in a christian way they would of or could of made it. Never know! They only have little Bobbi now and she will never have another father and no one can take his place. So, Bobbi began to be a stand up guy. Keep it pushing and hold your head up. Because the same CHRISTIANS THAT ARE JUDGING YOU HAVE THE SAME SKELETONS IN THERE CLOSETS. Ye who is without sin cast the first stone. Stay true to your children BOBBI. TIME OUT FOR PLAYING YOUR A GROWN MAN NOW. WHO SHOULD HAVE A LIL EXPERIENCE AND MATURITY UNDER HIS BELT. Don’t let the world get you down, they did your x wife, don’t let them get the best of you. Your marriage with Whitney was between you and Whitney and it is your side, her side, and the truth!!!.This world loves to kick you down before they can bring you back up again.But, in reality, your the only reality they have closes to Whitney because you lived it in the whee hours with her the ups, down’s and makeups and breakups and no one will ever be able to take that away from you. So, love you Bobbi. Stay True!!!

  • stark

    the invitation was for 3 seats. was that hard to comprehend? now he’s acting like he was the victim? jeesh, does this guy still have a brain? i don’t know but he should be start worrying coz he might not get the same respect when he ….

  • Bclpraisezone

    PS…. And all of you will never know what it is like to stand in the shadows of a powerful women. Some can handle it and some can’t. She knew who Bobby was before she married him. I want you all to stand in the shadows of a relationship and tell me how you would feel? Not saying that what he did was right! Because, I do not believe in abuse. But, she had a choice to leave him along time ago. She told the world he was her drug and anytime you put someone before yourself you need to not only check yourself into a rehab, but you need to LOVE YOURSELF BETTER THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELF. If I had a man trying to bring me down, I’m going to leave him because I LOVE ME FIRST and self preservation is the first law of nature. Somebody should of told her this in the midst of all this singing. Some are born with this attitude and others have to achieve it and others just don’t have it. Those would be the insecure ones. Nothing comes before me but the HOLY ONE! After Him it’s me, my family and than whomever else. If you do not have your priorities prioritized you are pitiful person waiting to be PUNK”D. If you do not love yourself than how do you expect another to love you? What I’m trying to say is… If Whitney loved herself she would have left him along time ago before it got that bad. You cannot just sit there and drown in your own sorrows and say woe is me. You have to leave it along..It’s not Bobby’s fault she stayed. It her own fault!!! Because she believe in him and not her own hype. So, I don’t fault Bobby, I fault her.Nevertheless, I still love her and respect her from a women’s point of view when your way out there in love. But, what do you get in return when it’s gone to far. You have to shake it off. If it itches and jump’s like a flee than it must be a flee. We can’t just sit there and pretend it’s something else.The drug tell you it’s a man and it may have been a boy the whole time. But, you also have to check yourself and ask the question. What makes me like younger men that mean me no good. What’s inside of me that makes me feel like I have to date a man who is the age of my son.? You want to cradle something or control someone. When you get into relationships for this reason it only comes back to haunt you in the end. Her mother should of told her this before she started dating. But It’s just like I said. WE MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES IN THIS LIFE AND WHEN THEY PLAY OUT ARE WE WILLING TO STAND UP LIKE A MAN OR A WOMEN AND SUFFER THE THE PAIN AND AGONY? IT’S ALL IN YOUR CHOICES IN THIS LIFE. THE BALL IS ALWAYS IN YOUR COURT. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE A STAR YOU CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT. i”M SO SICK OF PEOPLE SINGING AT FUNERALS … I DID IT MY WAY. Yes, you sure did! There’s a wrong way that seems right! But in the end who pays for it?

  • Lisa

    I feel Mr Brown contradicted himself in his statement. He said he left because he didn’t want to cause a scene. By leaving he did exactly that…caused a scene. Then issued a statement to make sure everyone knew about it, not just the people who might have noticed at the funeral. Would it have been so hard just to do as asked on this day that honored the woman he claims to have loved so much?

  • D. Martin

    Does anyone not think it ODD and…I don’t know…unethical to TWEET from a funeral? Could Reverend Sharpton have not waited until AFTER the funeral to TWEET? That seems a little…cold.

  • French Flies

    I am interested to hear if there is a statement from the security team.
    Much is being said about how Whitney would have wanted him there. I find that puzzling because funerals are for those left behind. As he was no longer her husband, and his daughter is a legal adult who obviously did not reach out to have him sit with her during the service, why does that matter? Why should other people be made uncomfortable so that this man can be present at the funeral?

    Bobby Brown was making it a “SOCIAL FUNCTION” by bringing more than 3 people with him for his so called “SUPPORT SYSTEM”.
    GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT
    Mr. Brown was In Fact Invited With No More Than THREE GUESTS…But That Was Not Good Enough For Him…So He Left.
    Bobby Brown had no other function Saturday than to be a Loving Father to Bobbi Kristina.
    NOTHING WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT!
    How Do You Not Get That???

  • PathedicBobby

    Well aren’t you just a class act?
    Bobby Brown was invited with an addtional 3 invite’s,he overstepped his invite…Noone said he could not come in…In fact he did go in and because 3 member’s of his group could not get in..which probably had to do with Newark’s Fire Department’s Regulation’s…He had his own little hissy fit and left.
    That is straight from the Chief of Police…Who was present and very much on top of Ms.Houston’s Memorial service.

  • Lori

    What a judgmental, hate filled world we live in. The truth of the matter is that Whitney would have wanted Bobby Brown on that front row right there with his daughter. The media loves to blow things out of proportion especially when it comes to people of color. Bobby Brown did not make a scene and doubt seriously he would refuse to move so Cissy Houston could sit down. Let’s be real here people. Their marriage like so many marriages didn’t work, but doubt seriously this man had no feelings for his ex wife. The media would have you believe that he stormed in their with an “entourage” hoping for autographs and pictures and then cursed everybody out and left when he couldn’t be the center of attention. And because of the hate filled society we live in, you will choose to believe it because you are so filled with hate. God Blessing to the Houston Family and to you too Bobby Brown. Try to stay strong. I know you are in pain. If you did do your concert,it’s understood. Everyone grieves in their own way. Ok,haters continue with your judgmental hateful comments. Carry on!

  • Victoria

    Yes in your 49 years I am sure you have been the Apple of every woman’s eye. He should have move 1000 times. Are you serious? Why should he play musical chairs to prove his love for his daughter and the family. Those other children knew Whitney and Bobbi Kristina. They were not some drifters from the street. After being asked to move several times, he did the right thing. Left peacefully. What more do you want. Or are you believeing the media too that he came in acting a fool. Your heart feels better to believe that hun? It is so much easier to believe the worst. If he was there sitting on the front row by himself with his daughter grieving you people would still complain. At 49 you should know better.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/7VYJ6E7KP2FLUK7RRVCQVLE7HY Suzy Q.

    and you too should know better. If you don’t agree that is your opinion but don’t personalize it. Bobby is scum, the kind you find on the bottom of things. The church was not built to accommodate 1500 people so each seat was designated. Bobby has never considered that rules apply to everyone. His ‘love’ was poison. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Suffice it to say, he is the worst thing to happen to her. He brought drugs into Whitney’s life and we all watched in horror. He hasn’t gotten what he deserves as yet but I hope to stick around to have a seat to that train wreck. He knows no shame. He did not Belong there and yet the Family, of which he is NOT a part of, gave him seats. He wasn’t on time, attracting more attention to his rotten self. He’s the worst on my short list along with Chris Brown. He and Bobby have alot in common. Neither one is talented and both mistreated the women they supposedly cared for. That is NOT how you care for someone.

  • Victoria

    Oh Suzy Q, oh self-rightetous Suzy Q, you’re only right about one thing, that is my opinion and I will voice it as did you, You don’t have to agree. Funny you used Chris Brown as an example, not Charlie Sheen, not Mel Gibson, not Tom Cruise. So we know from which rock you crawl under. I will not speak ill of the beloved Whitney, but one statment you made shows you know very little about their lives. I dare not to say. But Ms. Suzy do your research then we can talk, until then you are just petals in the wind. Done with ya! Carry On!

  • Odessabernard

    Regardless of what went on with Bobby and Whitney, He’s still the father of her their daughter. Personal feeling should be left outside of the door for the sake of Bobby Kristina and out of respect to give Whitney the day she so deserved. People have opinions I respect that. But nothing you say in a negative way is going to affect Whitney now! Their daughter is hurting, shes lost not only her Mom, but her best friend. She has her grandmother and others but this may also bring her and her Father together . Nobody is perfect. I’m not defending him, I read some place that Bobby lost his mother recently and Whitney sung at her funeral. So there was some type of communications going on. Let’s focus on their child right now she is hurt and needs to be supported and surrounded with Love!

  • Anonymous

    I don’t know about the regulations or what that has to do with him not being allowed to sit or stay. IF there was an issue in that regard, then someone else – NOT FAMILY – should have been asked to leave. Perhaps one of the stars who didn’t KNOW AND LOVE Whitney as a Wife and Mother should have given up their seat.

    I’m not taking his side, just saying it wasn’t done right. But then again, IF NOT for family we would have no reason for WARS.

  • Dwon

    Some people need to check themselves. Bobby has the right to support his daughter without being single out by security asking him to move 3 times. What people fail to realize is that Bobbie Kris has other brothers and sisters that bobby brown has. They was raise together,, Whitney was there stepmom. That day was about Whitney. Bobby should have been allowed to support his daughter no matter what. People needs to stop blaming Bobby for Whitney down fall. He played a role in her life. True be told RIP whitney!! Whitney had a drug problems way before bobby came in the picture. Chaka Kahan and Jennifer holiday El Debarge said it, they did alot things back in the day. R.I.P. whitney , we love you always!!!!!!!

    ou are so full of it he is bobbi cristina’s father and those were her half sibblings and chris brown and bobby brown are so very talented

  • Bella

    Ttim24897 you are right they are Bobbie Kristina’s half sibling but since it’s not her funeral your comment still isn’t important. They aren’t related to Whitney and again it is her funeral. They are divorced he is only attached to the family by his tie with his daughter. It has nothing to do with his other children. He should have only wanted to focus on his daughter her Mother has died not theirs. They could have spent time with her at another time. That was Whitney’s family and friends it wasn’t about Bobby or his other kids.

  • Bella

    Wrong! His daughter should have been his support system. It was inapprociate to show up with NINE people. It’s a funeral NOT the Grammys.

  • Bella

    It did that’s why he was invited plus THREE. He showed up with NINE therefore the issue was created by him. This was a funeral NOT the Grammys.

  • Bella

    Oh and by the way he BEAT her during their marriage. Therefore he really should have kept a low profile. That would be like Chris Brown showing up a Rihanna’s funeral with NINE people. Really? He is not a victim.

  • Bella

    They didn’t ask him or his entourage to leave. They said that he plus THREE can sit with the family everyone else had to sit with other guest. That is what bothered me about him. He decided to leave when his entire group wasn’t allowed to sit up front together.

  • Bella

    What this have to do with him showing up with NINE people for 3 seats.

  • Bella

    Bobby wasn’t denied a chance to see Bobbie Kristina. Read tweets of people that were there. He was mad because they couldn’t seat his entourage of NINE people when the invitation he received said 3. Their marriage ended due to domestic violence I don’t know any family that would be ok with that because she is a grown woman. He should have done the respectful thing and showed up with no more than the number he was allowed to invite.

  • Bella

    You all forget that Bobby wasn’t a good father to any of his children even Bobbie Kristina. I understand that no one is perfect but let not become delusional about the situation. The reality is why not come alone so that your sole focus can be your daughter that had been rushed to the emergency room twice since her Mother’s death. The other kids had their Mom’s that could support them if their really was great sadness from them. I believe he could have had a separate function if he wanted all of his children together that would have private and he really could have loved on his kids through all of this. I don’t dislike Bobby and I don’t blame him for her drug habit but I do think it wasn’t ok to ignore the invite number. I agree with the family and at any time BK could have requested her father & his kids to stay if they were that close.

    Dwon…I am so glad you said that,,People Reached out to Whitney many time’s..and she Refused them each time..Whitney was into drugs, way before she hooked up with Bobby Brown..and a few nights before she Passed away they had Dinner together the 3 of them..people get caught up in the news papers and all the b/s..the true story!!! only 2 people really knew what went on in the marriage and that was Bobby and Whitney..Truth be told..they could have moved out alot of people their that day..and made room for Bobby’s Family and Who Every else came.Yes Whitney Will be Missed but life goes on stop talking shit..it is what it is !!!!

    Are You Serious Is The ?
    You need to check your your facts.
    Chief of Police did in fact contact the Mayor…The Mayor himself was live on CNN with an answer to what the The Chief told him and part of that answer was there was issue with Mr.Brown and his entourage.
    He had an invite, +3…Mr. Brown showed up late and with more than his invitation could accommadate.
    It should have been Mr.Brown’s priority on that day to have been at that church either on time or EARLY…to make certain he was at his daughter’s side.
    That Is The Only Thing That Mattered That Day!

    It is Never the Right Thing to LEAVE one of your children mourning their Mother’s untimely Death.
    Especially when you know your other children are quite fine.

    You sure do,by your admission make yourself seem as selfish as Mr. Brown has proven himself to be.

    You Should Know Better.

  • Donelle

    Love your post. Agree with you 110%
    Bobby Brown is a selfish man to have left his daughter that day.

  • LeaveThatIsWhatUDoBest

    He is concerned about being mistreated…That is down right laughable.
    With regard to his other children being distraught…THEY HAVE THEIR MOTHER TO CONSOLE THEM…What About Bobbi Kristina?…HOW DISTRAUGHT DO YOU THINK SHE IS FEELING MR.BROWN?
    BuT your action’s don’t really come as a shock to most of us…because you did not care very much about Whitney Houston’s feeling’s… so why care about Bobbi Kristina’s?
    WOW…WHAT A FATHER YOU ARE.
    Selfish PIG

  • LeaveThatIsWhatUDoBest

    Bobby Brown Left his ONLY child with Whitney Houston of his own choosing.
    He could have knelt by her side if he choose.
    He didn’t get his way…so the spoiled good for nothing abusive shrewdly just left.
    That’s all folk’s
    Did any of you truly expect anymore of him?

  • PitifulMan

    THIS WAS INDEED BOBBY BROWN’S ONE LAST FINAL SLAP IN THE FACE OF WHITNEY HOUSTON.
    RIP SISTER…We will See You Again.

  • Victoria

    Oh yes Ysuch, I am serious. I don’t care what CNN said. As if the media spins out the truth. It is said Bobby Brown was asked to move from the family row,not because of a so called entourage (by the way if there was one, I saw him with his children which would be Bobbi Kristina’s brothers & sisters). Now if he was asked to move from the “family” row, then how I ask can he sit with and comfort his daughter. You can’t have it both ways. He can’t do anything right in the media’s eyes. It’s a lose-lose situation for him no matter what he does. So no, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER AND GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO THE LIKES OF THE MEDIA THAT IS NOTORIOUS FOR PLAYING NAME GAMES. Unfortunately many people do not know the English language well enough to know when they are being played. For instance, the so-called media says (Is Bobby Brown trying to sell a tell-all book). Then all the haters run saying,
    Bobby Brown is trying to sell a tell all book on Whitney Houston when in actuality the hateful, coniving media merely asked a question, but ignorance gave the media exactly what they wanted. So know, I’ve been too long in the game to “know better”. I do know better!!!!!!

  • Victoria

    Oh and I already responded to Suzy Q, but the site scrambled my answer and placed it someplace else, unless they just put it back. Again, media playing games. Also, in my earlier comment to Yusch, the book BB is planning to sell was in 2008. He has not right after the service went on a book selling tour. What he plans to do later, I do not know. But if he does, I would not agree, but people will buy a tell all by a person of “their” choice that did not know Whitney as well as Bobby because they will make sure Bobby’s behind doesn’t get one red cent but will fill the pockets of person tha doesn’t know as much. Okay, I’m done. Whew, its exhausting dealing with lies and hate.

  • YsuchLilRegard

    TO VICTORIA
    It was not coming from CNN media…I said it was on CNN.
    THE MAYOR HIMSELF MADE THE STATEMENT WITH REGARD TO WHAT THE CHIEF OF POLICE HAD TO SAY..No Media Spin…Again Straight From the Mayor’s Mouth.
    You Once Again Miss The Entire Picture…Not About Bobby Brown!!!! Or any other of his children!
    Whitney Houston And Bobby Brown Have A daughter…Bobbi Kristina..The Mother Of That Child Died In A Sudden Way….And Father JUST LEFT that Mother’s funeral a rehearsal.
    All of the above with exception to Ms. Houston’s death took place on the day of the funeral.

    You Assume far to much.
    This seem’s to most that you are simply without any manner’s or education.
    Get Yourself an your manner’s in check or maybe you just are not capable…Much like Mr. Brown.
    This was not about THE MEDIA.

  • YsuchLilRegard

    TO VICTORIA
    Just so there is no confusion before you read my first reply to you. The word “not” should follow the word word “funeral” in third paragragh.

  • Victoria

    Hey Ysuchi, the system will not allow me to respond to you in the proper section, but as far as your correcting my grammar, Ysuchi please………Did you even read what you wrote. Point is you understand what I was saying. And as far as your saying I have no manners or education, that means absolutely nothing to me at all. Am I supposed to go off in a corner and hang my head down now and feel embarrassed by your words. Not so my dear. You are not my superior nor do you have the class or etiquette to make me feel bad about myself at all. I am not changing what I said. You my dear seem to miss the point! Oh and reread your own comments. You make no sense. But wear yourself out trying to convince me.

  • YsuchLilRegard

    Your Reply My Dearest Victoria only proves exactly your not capable. You are so busy trying discredit everyone and AGAIN miss the fact that a women died and daughter lost her Mother and her Father just left at a time he ahould have said I will wait anywhere you put me.
    What is wrong with you darling? I really mean that.

  • YsuchLilRegard

    As far you assuming once again…that I wear myself out on trying to convince you… would be wrong.
    I am a Martial Arts Instuctor for over 20 yrs.
    This jargon hardly wears me out.

  • Victoria

    Oh Ysuchi. I’m touched that “you really mean that”. In answer to your question, nothing is wrong with me at all. I am quite aware that a woman has passed and a daughter lost her mother. Are you aware that BB was asked to leave the service because he was told that the seat that he wanted to sit in and be there for his daughter was reserved for family. Again I ask then how can he be there for his family. He was asked to leave not because he was acting badly as you choose to believe. In the end, we are not going to agree. Accept that. That doesn’t mean something is wrong with me. You somehow have this superior air about yourself that if I don’t agree with you that something must be wrong with me. Who are you? No one special, just another blogger like us all. At the end of the day you must come to terms with the fact that everyone, especially me, are not going to agree with you. And that makes us individuals with our own minds. And you don’t have to agree with me, I accept that. But I’m surely not going to make it seem like you are psychologially impaired. That only shows one’s low self esteem and need to be right all the time. I don’t agree with you ! But again, keep trying to convince me!

  • Victoria

    Oh and Part II of your comments where you let me know you are a martial arts instructor for 20 years, trying to convince me doesn’t wear you out? Because you are a martial arts instructor for 20 years. Big deal Ysuch! All that instructing has not done much to sharpen your mind. I know martial arts instructors and very few have time to go back and forth blogging. Who are you instructing? Your “students” would be ashamed to know how you invest your energy. Remember you approached me with the blogging, quite naturally I will respond. Martial Arts Instructor. What a joke. But you made my day with that one! I can’t stop laughing. Keep trying to convince me though, since it doesn’t wear you out. That was a good one!!!! Thanks for the laugh.

  • YsuchLilRegard

    Victoria,
    Glad I could make you laugh.
    I know you have been quite entertaing for myself.
    Stay blessed and as fabulous as you are.
    Sincerely,
    YsuchLilRegard

  • Victoria

    Thanks Ysuchi.
    Making me laugh you did. And I’m glad I have been entertaining to you. I aim to please……
    Sincerely,
    Fabulous Victoria
