Bobby Brown – you were more interested in turning your ex-wife Whitney Houston’s death, into a PR event for yourself, than in truly comforting and guiding your daughter in need.
Bobby Brown — when you showed up with an entourage of nine people at Whitney Houston‘s funeral, Sat, Feb, 18, when you were only invited to come with two guests, you knew that you were asking for trouble.
You knew that trying to bring in seven uninvited people to the funeral would create a drama that would get you attention. You weren’t admitted to the funeral; with your seven extra guests. You were told that you were welcome to stay but with just two.
Instead of sending the extra seven away, you acted deeply offended and you left with a big harrumph as if you’d been so hard done by.
It’s obvious, that if you truly cared about your daughter Bobbi Kristina‘s mental health, nothing would have been more important to you than to be there to give her much-needed support. Any normal loving father, would have walked over hot coals to be there for his daughter to hug, hold her hand, give her tissues for her tears, and actually physically hold her up as she mourned her beloved mother.
But no- that’s not what you did. Being a selfless unconditionally-loving dad- someone she could count on through thick and thin, was NOT on your agenda at Whitney’s funeral.
The truth is that you’ve had an AGENDA. An agenda to seek attention by appearing slighted, because your uninvited entourage was not admitted to the funeral. Your love for Bobbi Kristina was conditional on you being admitted with an entourage. Your ego and your entourage were your priority – not your grief-stricken daughter.
You’ve already left Bobbi Kristina with a legacy of drug addiction for the rest of her life, as well as a legacy of dysfunction.You and Whitney raised her in such a dysfunctional family filled with fighting and drug abuse, that it’s no wonder that she has no sense of stability or a set of coping skills. There are even reports that she has herself been caught using drugs since her mothers’ death, which was likely a result of a drug overdose!
I t couldn’t be a sadder situation.
But saddest of all is that the one parent Bobbi Kristina has left is as selfish as you are Bobby.
Bobby, you can take your entourage and stuff it, and stay far away from Bobbi Kristina who hopefully will now be raised with stability and unconditional love by her grandmother Cissy Houston. She deserves no less.

Here are my personal thoughts. Bobby Brown is not at fault. Like some of you said, “Whitney knew what she was doing.” And like one of you said about the interview in 2002 with Diane Sawyer; Whitney said, “No one forces me to do anything I don’t want to do.” She made her choices and these turned out to be her consequences. It’s a tragedy to see someone die so young, but you can’t help someone who is not willing to accept the help. Now, the funeral wasn’t a joke. I think that Cissy letting them put her funeral on TV was a smart thing. She showed people Whitney’s roots and where she started, but most importantly so took everyone to church. For all those that saw the funeral, they went to church. So technically it was a blessing. As for Bobby Brown bringing a lot of people to the funeral, none of us know the true story. So before you start pointing fingers, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. We don’t know the whole story and his reasons for leaving but I do personally think, he could have made more of an effort to be there for no one else but his daughter. Him not staying may have made Bobbi Kristina feel like she was last on his list. As for Bobbi Kristina, all we can do is pray for her and hope that she leans on God not drugs and other stuff. May God get them through this hard time and give them comfort.

Whitney’s own mother sold the funeral video. I don’t believe it was for Bobbi Kristina’s benefit either. Whitney was paying all of her mother’s expenses, and now she knows that money train is gone.
I lost some respect for Cissy and felt like something was up when I saw that nurse in the uniform and hat. When was the last time you saw a nurse dress that way?
Also those women who escorted Cissy out of the funeral. They were dressed the same, with one on each arm. If that wasn’t for show, I don’t know what is.

In the Baptist church the nurse always wears a uniform on Sundays. Don’t comment if your not sure on something.

Been Nursing 37 years, some nursing guilds at Baptist church’s still wear the traditional nursing uniform. The nurses employed by funeral homes do as well. God Bless. Ms Neicey

I’m so sick of everyone blaming bad boy Bobby Brown. Whitney was already a hood girl from New Jersey. She seeked out a thug who was a baby much younger than her. You can dressed an individual up and put 100 pounds of make-up on them that hood is still in them. She she was talented and could sing, but she was crying out for a long time and you could see she was depressed. Where was all these family members and friends? Whitney was arrogant and controled all her money, as long as she was keeping family and friends happy everything was all good. Nobody’s perfect, but all people want to do is criticize Bobby. It was her time. God was not going to let her continue to destroy herself. She’s in a better place. Everybody got their hand out to help Bobby Kriss spend that money. Whitney was taken care of other family members and they are making sure their income does not stop. You do the math. She had a lot on her back not making the money she could have, because of her failed performances and back and forth rehabiliation. Watch Unsung Phyliss Hyman’s story killing her self because Whitney coming on the seen and Clive Davis moving right along. Reverse the story then Clive Davis sitting between young talent Monica and Brandi trying to boost their career again. Whitney probably felt the pain of no return as far as a big comeback. What was in the letter she gave Brandy. Tell Rayjay I love him. Trying to push Bobby away is only going tp have Bobby Kriss yearn her father more. So what he was an alcoholic and crackhead. There was a time when Bobby could not do any wrong in Whitney’s eyes. She said she was her own worst enemy on Diane Sawyer’s night show. Leave Mr. Bobby Brown alone. Just my thinking.

Amen Dawn. I loved Whitney, especially back in the day. But she had some demons that she kept running back to. God can do anything but fail and when He saw she couldn’t continue down her destructive path….His love for her…called her home. #missedbutneverb4gotten

Clive sincere? Whitney was bankrupt and he leant her a million dollars instead of getting her into rehab.
He also kept moving with his Grammy Party and after the memorial service he hopped a plane to New York to be at the Aretha Franklin concert that evening. Sounds like he was really broken up

Cissy Houston who just sold the rights to the funeral to the highest bidder? She is no saint.
How about Cissy Houston who wouldn’t let her daughter be with the woman she loved – Robyn Crawford? The fact that Whitney had to marry Bobby Brown in the first place and mask her true feelings with drugs also shows she is no saint.

Bobby Brown is all about Bobby Brown, however Whitney Houston was a grown woman who made her own choices, she did drugs prior to meeting Bobby Brown and the drug problems they both had together just escalated. She takes responsibility for her drug use in the interview she did with Diane Sawyer in 2001 or 2002 not sure of the year but she does!! I am terribly saddened of Whitney’s death but we cant blame anyone but Whitney, she was 48 years old, old enough to know better, to know right from wrong, 5 years or so divorced from Bobby, strong faith all her life. I ask this: ALL the people who profess their love for Whitney,her family her close friends, the people who had access to her: Where were they? Ahhh, all enabled and we cant even blame them because if anyone knows anything about an addict they would know unless that addict wants help, there is nothing anyone can say or do to make them get help unless the addict themself wants it!!! The world lost a superstar who entertained and touched us in ways no artist ever has, a mother lost her daughter, a daughter lost her mother and so on and so on, unfortunately because Whitney did not have the will, want or need to STOP the drugs. It just goes to show all of us, drug addiction reaches all walks of life, they dont dicriminate. A lesson for all, you cant beat the beast unless you fight with every ounce of your being to live a life drug free!!!

Bobby brown did the right thing, left. Jessie Jackson?? WTH did he ever do for Whitney?? This funeral was a joke, media attention for Cissy Houston. Clive and Kevin were the only sincere people their. The rest were hanger ons. Oprah made money off her also, years ago with the outing of Whitneys drug abuse long before she married Bobby.

This actually makes me sad. Everybody is acusing him for her death while she was a grown woman that did drugs before she even met him. They are acusing him of coming to her funeral with his entourage when in reality he was there wis his wife and his other kids that were raised by Whitney as well! Why are you lying? Get you facts straight already! And it makes me sad when it is so obvious that he loves his children. HE is the one that took care of them his other children’s moms aren’t even close to them, HE is the one that took care of all of them while he could just do like alot of other celebreties do deny them and pay their moms and just never even see them again. I hate how everybody thinks just because Whitney was America’s sweetheart that her problems are fault of others. NO that were her problems, SHE is the one that should say no! And besides that you are saying Bobby should stay away from his daughter when he is the only parent that she has left! You don’t even know how their relationship is based and you dare to say he should stay away from her??!! What kind of pathetic statments are that? Are you a parent? Just imagine someone that doesn’t even know you would say that you should stay away from your kids because you are just “disrupting and distabilliazing” them. Please let the man and his children mourn in peace! You have no shame just judging him like that and not even knowing him!

Bobby did right by jus walking out, it probably hurt him more to jus walk out than it would to have saved face and stayed which would have caused some type of controversial drama! Whitney is gone bobbi will make it through just fine because of the strong support she is carrying with her, HER MOTHERS SPIRIT! please let whitney rest in paradise! Bobby will be there for his daughter no matter what the circumstances are!

I saw the funeral and he was not there at all! Not like seeing Jesse Jackson in the back row behind the pastor , why was he sitting there.
Never did we see Bobby and his family just out side where some camera
Man took of a video.of him OUTSIDE the church!

Why isn’t it written that most of the entourage was his other children. Her half brothers and sister. I feel room could have been made to accomodate them. They were her family also. They lived with them also at some point in her parents relationship. There are no do overs in a funeral. I was relieved he didnt cause a scene as said by several people in attendance. I feel you are very wrong to write this article in the manner you did. It was very hateful. He is after all her FATHER. Whitney was grown and made her own adult decisions. As bad as they were. But she has paid the ultimate price, her life. Let her rest in peace and quit bashing her only living parent. He didnt single handedly make Whitney an addict, she stated that herself. Let it go and let her rest in peace. His entourage were his children who also loved Whitney, call it what it is and not how you want to pen it.

Bonnie was spot on with her article.The point is this, Bobbi Brown was told he could bring only TWO guest.Showing up with all of his kids was disrespectful.He does not get to dictate who should or should not be allowed at the funeral of his ex-wife.He should have shown respect to Whitney’s family by showing up with TWO guest.I guess he will continue to milk Whitney’s death for all it’s worth.Him crying over Whitney at all his concerts is getting a bit old.I sincerely hope he puts his EGO aside and really step up to the plate for his daughter.
