Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had a publicly stormy 14-year relationship, and now the recording artist is ready talk about what went down between them — the drug abuse, the hurt, the divorce — in his upcoming VH1 Behind the Music interview airing tonight.
“I think we corrupted each other,” he tells The Insider. “I don’t think she hurt me or I hurt her. I just think we had a 14-year marriage that had its ups and downs and not many people understood it.”
As for his drug use, which found him in the headlines and in trouble with the law often, Bobby is candid about abusing cocaine.
“I used an awful lot you know and I can’t take that back,” he says, adding of coke, “It’s a powerful drug.”
As for what made him turn to drugs in the first place, Bobby blames boredom.
“I think I was bored. I had just gotten married and things weren’t right,” he confesses. “Unfortunately, I turned to alcohol and drugs.”
Bobby is also prepared for the reality of Whitney having a few choice words on their marriage during her upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“If there’s something that she says that is untrue or disrespectful then I’ll deal with that with her,” he explains.
What does Bobby mean if she tells something that is not true he will deal with her. That sounds abusive. Sooo, what she is saying is all true. Thank god, she is free from her abuser. Even though I like Bobby & Whitney. I am happy to see Whitney deal with her drug addition & I think everyone should be supportive of her because she has a child to raise.
I am glad she is away from him too…he is Garbage and held her down for years. He would not have had the life he did if it was not for her. I am so glad she is facing her addiction problems…..God Speed in the healing process Whitney…..
Can’t nobody make anybody do anything they don’t want to do. Bobby is not responsible for Whitneys choices. They both were indulging in drugs/alcohol before they even got married. If you hook up w/another addict then that will be your main comanality and you both will be married and loyal only to your drug (s) of choice and not to one another period! Garbage in equals Garbage out!
