Whitney Houston was long rumored to have had a secret same-sex romance with her best friend and assistant, Robyn Crawford, and Bobby Brown tells Us Weekly in the new issue that it’s all true. He also spoke about what he says was a one-time incident of physical abuse towards Houston.
It’s not just that both Houston and Bobbi Kristina’s deaths both revolved around drugs and bathtubs, but Gordon was also there both times.
“It’s not a mystery to me”, he said.
However Brown has joined in with Bobbi Kristina’s estate for a wrongful death lawsuit of $10 million.
Brown also claimed he had sexual encounters with Madonna and Janet Jackson, but alleged that he was not on drugs.
“Whether I would have chosen Bobby for my daughter’s husband is not important because the choice was not mine to make”, she added.
Fighting back tears in the 20/20 news special, he claims, “The same thing that happened to my daughter is what happened to Whitney”. She says they spent a lot of time re-living all of the music and talking about what the future holds. According to the coroners office, Bobbi Kristina’s death was an accidental drowning, stating heart disease and cocaine use was the cause of her death. “She gave so much to so many people; I hope that she felt loved in return”. “I would do the opposite, you know, of what they told New Edition to do”.
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were married for 15 years.
“I have never spoken about her until now”. In the suit, Gordon was accused of beating Bobbi Kristina, giving her a “toxic cocktail”, and putting her face-down in a bathtub, WXIAreported.
“Shocked” to see Houston in such a state, Brown says he declined to partake when Whitney offered him a hit. “There is only one person around both occasions”.
Bobby is sure Whitney kept the relationship hidden because her mother, Cissy Houston, would have been completely against it. In 2013, the 82-year-old told Oprah Winfrey she would not have accepted her daughter being gay or bisexual.
