Whitney Houston Tells Oprah About Her Marriage To Bobby Brown
It sounds like Whitney Houston's interview with Oprah Winfrey was truly a no-holds-barred one! Whitney described ex-husband Bobby Brown as "emotionally abusive" during their marriage. She said that one time, Bobby spit on her.
"[I] was horrified he spit on me, in my face" and that left her "very hurt, very angry."
"[H]e slapped me once, but he got hit on the head three times by me."
"He was my drug," Whitney told Oprah. "I didn't do anything without him."
Whitney also said she was addicted to drugs, and it was her mother, Cissy Houston, who intervened.
[I]t got so bad that her mother enlisted sheriff's deputies to force the singer into rehab. Mom Cissy Houston said, 'I'm not losing you to the world. I'm not losing you to Satan. ... I want my daughter back,' " Houston recalls.
Bobby was there at the time. "She said, 'If you move, Bobby, they're gonna take you down. Don't you make one move,' " Houston tells Winfrey. "And he stood there like -- he was scared."
The entire interview airs on Oprah today. I have to admit, I'm incredibly curious about what she has to say. Are you?

Bobby Brown Says Domestic Abuse Claims Are False
Bobby Brown might be a bit wild and ecentric... but he isn't an abuser. At least that's what he's claiming in his most recent interview with MTV. For 15 years, we watched the ups and downs of his relationship with Whitney Houston. We all heard the stories when Whitney would call the police to have them come and calm Bobby after a hug fight. But the singer admits he never hit her...
"I mean, I’m guilty of getting upset and flying off the handle a little. I was known to throw a bottle or two at a wall or something.
Things that I’d regret, I would be responsible for cleaning up or having the wall repaired."What people fail to realize is that Whitney is no punk. She definitely knows how to handle and defend herself in situations that could have potentially been violent. Some of the stories in the media made me out to be like Ike Turner, when that wasn’t my character."
Did anyone ever catch their reality show? Did it show him in an abusive manner? I forget that reality tv is far from just that!

Bobby Brown Sues For Spousal Support And Custody Of Bobbi
Bobby Brown is suing Whitney Houston for custody of their daughter, Bobbi as well as spousal support. He is claiming he has been homeless on several occasions since their split. Part of him regaining custody would require Whitney to pay Bobby child support as well. I am not sure what kind of case he is bringing forward. Why would anyone give him custody of a child he cannot support mentally or financially? Bobbi is better off where she is safe.

Whitney Houston Finally Files For Divorce
The papers are filed with Orange County Superior Court which officially begins the legal separation between Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. I cannot believe that she is actually going through with it. For some strange reason, I thought she would let it all go and end up taking that loser Bobby back like she has done so many times in the past. But this time is for real. Whitney has asked for custody of their 13 year old giving Bobby visitation rights. No further information is available at this time.
Bobby Brown Is Desperate For Money... Or At Least a 1997 Ford Expo
Bobby Brown was invited to guest star on the TV One reality series "I Married a Baller". In return, he asked for a car and the producers agreed thinking he meant a ride to the studio. When Bobby got picked up, he asked where his new car was and that is where the confusion began. The show was willing to give him enough to rent a car for a month or even pick up a 1997 Ford Expo. But a new car??? Who did he think he was? Whitney Houston? COME ON BOBBY! Eventually, the terms couldn't be met and the show was never taped.
"When he asked for a car, we actually thought he meant for us to book him car service, and I told the producers to set it up," the show's executive producer, Datari Turner, told Daily News contributor Jawn Murray. "But then I was told that he actually wanted us to buy him a car!"
Brown's longtime friend and occasional rep, Ray Pouncey, told TV One that Brown was new to Los Angeles and didn't have wheels, so a car would be the ideal payment instead of an appearance fee. Brown apparently wanted Taj to formally present the vehicle to him on the show as a gift.
"I was open to it at first and wanted to know what price range he was looking for, because for the standard appearance fee we could have gotten him a 1997 Ford Expo or maybe a 1995 Pathfinder," Datari said. "Maybe even a month-long rental car. But we knew he wanted something new, so we had to pass on booking him." (source)
