Bobby Brown Explains Why He Left Whitney Houston’s Funeral

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.”

He was married to her for 15 years. I am sure his family was extremely close to her.
kwikimart 18th-Feb-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
I don't think that matters
She knew his kids and anyway he's her ex-husband
brucelynn 18th-Feb-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
Yeah and they are Bobbie Kristina's siblings

gaga 18th-Feb-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
so? hes the father of her child
tiny_winey87 18th-Feb-2012 09:40 pm (UTC)
This. TMZ reported he was invited +2, and was there with a party of 9. How tacky is that to be honest.
angel_dust_fury 18th-Feb-2012 10:06 pm (UTC)
CNN just played the clip of him getting back in the car, and there were only 3 people with him.

Apparently, the "posse" was his children, who are Bobbi-Kristina'a half brothers and sisters, and his wife. Whitney was also their step-mother for a while and she even said that she thought of them as her own children at one point. I think an exception should have been made.

People can be so cold. It's a fucking funeral. Save your drama for another time and just let people be.

mhfromnh 18th-Feb-2012 10:06 pm (UTC)
La'Princia? are you fucking serious?
sincetomorrow 18th-Feb-2012 10:13 pm (UTC)
naming two of your offspring after yourself seems awfully egocentric.
tiki876 18th-Feb-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
welp, i don't like him but he handled the situation well so props to him for that
glowing_dragon 18th-Feb-2012 10:09 pm (UTC)
Same.
shakeystearoom 18th-Feb-2012 10:28 pm (UTC)

reginageorge 18th-Feb-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)

erraticxemotion 18th-Feb-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
I think he made more of a scene by leaving than he would have by quietly sitting OR standing anywhere he needed to just BE THERE.
tiki876 18th-Feb-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
did he? oh he said in the article that he tried not to
ilikeandrewbird 18th-Feb-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
E! said that Al Sharpton was trying to calm him down, and asking him to stay
erraticxemotion 18th-Feb-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)
He may have tried not to, but with everyone wondering where he was and why he was there and then suddenlt left, and then newsmen trying to ask people about his whereabouts he obv did.
yeahwell_britt 18th-Feb-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)
i don't agree. him staying when people were apparently repeatedly asking him to leave could have escalated into something totally inappropriate. its unfortunate, but i think him leaving rather than staying and arguing with whoever was asking him to leave was a good decision. of course, ideally, no one should have been asking him to leave in the first place if he wasn't causing a disturbance of any kind.
ilikeandrewbird 18th-Feb-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
so sad that he couldnt just put up with the bullshit, for the sake of Whitney.

Poor Bobbi Christina.

tiki876 18th-Feb-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
yeah he definitely has a lot of kids, don't know the specific number but a lot of them did an interview with him years ago
angel_dust_fury 18th-Feb-2012 09:52 pm (UTC)
he has 5 counting bobby k
amontillado 18th-Feb-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
Ice cold. Bobby is not the best man, but that was his wife and the mother of his daughter - he is family, and deserved to be there.
ilikeandrewbird 18th-Feb-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
he was with 9 people. I think they were trying to separate the group since it was so large.
lollerskatedj 18th-Feb-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
Sucks he couldn't stay but for fucks sake her family could have been a little kind for just a few hours for Bobbi Kristina and Whitney's sake.
2cutelena 18th-Feb-2012 09:46 pm (UTC)
this. i think he left because he could feel he was was not welcome.
glambbydoll 18th-Feb-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
he has nine kids what
guzzlemuzzle 18th-Feb-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
It is a damn shame they wouldn't let him say goodbye properly.
phillymademe 18th-Feb-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
didn't y'all see the camping trip episode of "Being Bobby Brown"? i'm pretty sure all of his kids were on that trip. if not they were definitely on that show at one point.

Edited at 2012-02-18 09:30 pm (UTC)
oh7 18th-Feb-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)
lol That episode was a mess.
sweetebonyrose 18th-Feb-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
No matter how we feel about Bobby Brown, he's Bobbi-Kristina's father, and they should've respected that. Not to mention that those kids appear to have wanted to support Bobbi-K.
brucelynn 18th-Feb-2012 09:31 pm (UTC)
Yeah they wanted to be there for their sister , they had a right to be there.
pistol_eyes 18th-Feb-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
