Bobby, and the Browns in general, are a pack of ne'er-do-wells, taking full advantage of the Whitney's reportedly generous nature. Among the sins, sister-in-law Tina Brown sold Whitney out to tabloids for a quick $200,000.
N
ow that's just low-rent.
Bobby "My Prerogative" Brown had a little je ne sais quoi back in the day, but chose instead to blow it on, well, blow and cheap whores.
As if losing one's meal ticket isn't bad enough, Bobby may need to invest in some serious body armor, as it seems a certain elusive, but internationally known terrorist has a big crush on his lovely estranged wife.
Hey, now that she's single, maybe Osama would like to hit that. Preferably not with a 737. Ba-dum-bump.
It's not inconceivable that Whitney could stage a major comeback; rumor has it she is perusing song material under Davis' guidance at this time, but she has a long road back.
Beside overcoming drug addiction, getting her vocal chops back in shape, she must also convince those in the music industry that she is once again a professional and can be trusted to show up for scheduled gigs.
With her legion of fans, legendary supporters and impeccable pedigree, there is no one who could stage a more successful comeback than Whitney, but first she needs to drop about 195 pounds of Bobby Brown.
But the good news is, Courtney Love's got her back, whatever that's worth.

"Bobby "My Prerogative" Brown had a little je ne sais quoi back in the day, but chose instead to blow it on, well, blow and cheap whores."
In his defense, I'd go cheap too, because you can buy more whores and once you buy 12 at once, you get a cut rate. Now that's money management.

Yeah, if only he had applied that logic to Whitney's cash, they might still be ridin' dirty, yo.

Great article. Glad she finally got smart and dumbed his dumb ass!
4 - Miss Kitty
Great read! Good riddance to that no-good Bobby Brown!
5 - CJ
As executive producer of two $100 mil movies and a successful TV movie franchise since 2001, I highly doubt Whitney's hurting for cash. Remember, crack is cheap...

glad this one seems to have a happy ending - nice one Dawn!

CJ - actually Whitney is hurting for cash. She does not get royalty checks and touring payout like I said in the article. Not to mention that the money she made was long ago and many, many hits of crack, serveral houses and mortgages later, plus numerous Browns asking for handouts and supporting her good for nothing husband. Whitney has been generous to everyone but herself. I truly hope she gets it together, and while her music in general isn't my thing, I can deeply appreciate her talent and found her at one point stunningly beautiful.
Here's to hopin' and wishin' she breaks the addiction to drugs and Bobby.

WHY DOES EVERYONE DUMP ON BOBBY BROWN FOR WHITNEY HOUSTON'S DRUG PROBLEMS? SHE HAS A LONG TRACK RECORD FOR USING DRUGS, THE PROBLEM IS WHITNEY HOUSTON, NOT BOBBY BROWN.
9 - Eric Olsen
does her drug use predate her relationship with Brown? I wasn't aware of that
10 - Mach Stelmacher
This is league with Tina Turners split farewell with Ike maybe. If she produces new work, maybe it will
reflect a little of that. She should call up all her sisters and do a duets album Patti LaBelle..maybe she'll get by with a little help from her friends...
great blog entry by the way!!! ******

Every one think bobby is to blame for her addiction, but is her girlfriend robin who got her stated. (she is bi-sexual)

Thats whats wrong with coulpes in the entertainment. Every things about money! Not love. Bobby did not have a gun to her head & say whitney if u dont hit this rock im going to blow your brains out. Her home girl got her to smoking crack. But u dont hear about that. Just bobby because he is a bad boy. U dont here about the good times they. Rumer has it she is broke. If he did not love her & it was all about the money why was he was still there. Its not like she looks good any more. I was one of the ones who hoped they would get it together now dont get me wrong. I love whitney and pray she can get it together for her self & little girl. But she has to do it for her not any one else
13 - Eric Olsen
ultimately she is responsible for herself - totally agree
14 - Martin Lav
It is her responsibility and her's alone, however, it would seem from this outsiders perspective that their relationship is just as poisonous and addicting as her drugs. Her first step seems to be a smart one and that's her separation from him. If he has a drug problem as well, as it would appear, then it will be best for him as well. If they both get recovery, then who knows, maybe they will turn out to be good for each other, maybe not.
15 - Eric Olsen
excellent points Martin, totally agree
16 - Mach Stelmacher
Maybe word has just gotten round to her on just how
terrific she really is. A real loving man would
never let her sacrifice her career and spiral downwards and would have NONE OF IT. I know its easy to assume MrEX dragged her down to be at his level.
But thats the way I see it. Not too run too deep with the ball in the end zone and do a dance in it of course. Perhaps she had self worth issues already going into this now ended relationship/marriage who knows.

now whitney you need to prove to me and everboby eles that you still the best singer in the world i love you so much.i wish i can meet you thank you for saying good bye to him.in come to stl when you get your your self all back love you

christina, where do u get your logic from? Does it make sense that he would put a gun to her head? No, but did he support her either? no. he could have said well honey if u dont stop im leaving, i dont want a crack head, right, support uh, no, Bobby was too bust scraping, remember, he cultivated that environment of drugs for her, and once he got her where he wanted, he knew a sober Whitney had too much sense to go alonng with his lieing, cheating antics, therefore he made it seem like heaven for her. Now you tell me, how supportive could he have been to allow his sister take picture, of her in those conditions, all of them ...(Brown Family) should be ashamed of themselves, they like a curse and if anybody see them coming should run. trust me.
The sister claimed , "I did it out of love" i believe her, yeah..love of money, whitneys money. piece of trash.
Can you imagine Bobby not to be blamed, i mean which husband that loves their wife, now not her money or what she can do for you....but Love..true love...doesnt know when to get her help. Unless his attempt was to kill her so that he can cash in on the insurance policy. Did he not see the house, the pics. OMG...i feel for whitney, yes, and i pray for her long befoore those pictures surfaced. I am happy she is not dead, so bobby yes and his family looses. Whitney will come back, the curse is not on her, its on The Browns.

Wanksta! Haha, that is a word I really ought to be using more often in everyday parlance. Amusing as always, Dawn.
