All week we had been teased with clips from Bobby Brown’s nail-biting 20/20 interview with Robyn Roberts on Tuesday night, however when the special actually aired, we were all shocked to be listening in on what Bobby Brown decided to share. Not only did his allegations range from coitus with a ghost, but he alleges that his dearly departed Whitney Houston was involved in a romantic relationship with her friend Robyn Crawford and that he witnessed his bride-to-be engage in drug use on their wedding day.
Houston’s mother, Cissy, is, perhaps, the only person who is able to defend her daughter as she exclusively spoke to #People about the very disturbing interview her former son-in-law took part in. The 82 year old pretty much denies the claims that Brown made against Whitney and shames the R&B singer for speaking out about these things when she can no longer defend herself. She began:
“Last night I saw Bobby Brown’s interview with Robin Roberts. It was disturbing. Although the interview was supposed to promote his autobiography, he never spoke about his parents and siblings and any issues they might have or have had that impacted and may continue to impact on ‘Every Little Step’ he takes. Instead he chose to concentrate his comments primarily on Whitney. I can’t help but wonder why.
Whether I would have chosen Bobby for my daughter’s husband is not important because the choice was not mine to make. She loved him and I believe him when he says he loved her. I only wish he had loved and respected her enough to make some of the negative statements about her and Krissi while Whitney was alive and able to respond from her perspective.
On the OPRAH show when Whitney said Bobby had spit in her face and Krissi had seen it, Krissi was in the audience and available to challenge anything her mother said. Bobby was alive and free to dispute what she said. He chose not to; instead he waited to speak about her when she could no longer speak for herself.”
There is no value in my challenging all of his statements – point for point – such as his assertion that he ‘had money’ when he married Whitney or that anyone in my family said he started Nippy on drugs. No one blames Bobby for that. However, I must say that his story of seeing her do drugs for the first time on their wedding day is untrue (Donna Houston, Robyn Crawford and I were with Nippy the whole time before the ceremony), and more importantly, it forever casts a shadow over one of the most important days of her life.
I am deeply disappointed that this interview to promote the story of Bobby’s life seemed to be more of an exposé on Whitney’s life. My problem with Bobby has always been that he became her husband but not her helpmate or protector.” “My prayer for Nippy and Krissi is that they will soon rest in peace. My prayer for me is that someday, somewhere beyond the horizon where we cannot see, I will be with them again . . . And Joy will come in the morning..”
