More Details About Bobby Brown & Whitney Houston’s Marriage Surface
According to some exclusive divorce documents obtained by Radar Online, singer Bobby Brown claimed to be homeless for a while, during his late ex-wife, Whitney Houston’s, stay in rehab. Brown and Houston were married in 1992 and Houston filed for divorce in 2006. As was expected of two famous people at the time, they had a very clear prenuptial agreement. It stated that,
“Brown agrees that Houston shall have no legal obligation to support him, and that he shall have no right to require the payment of any alimony, support (including temporary support), or other maintenance, and no right to receive any rights, interests, or claims to Houston’s property, and Brown hereby waives releases, and forever renounces any and all such rights to the fullest extent permitted by law.”
However, during the divorce proceedings Brown attempted to contest this agreement by requesting child support from Houston on the grounds that he had spent a lot of money during her alleged stint in rehab. In the court documents, Brown stated,
“Whitney took Bobbi Kris without my prior knowledge or consent, and moved to Orange County, California, where Whitney received treatment for her drug addiction… Although I was having severe financial problems, I did all I could to see my daughter. I came to California to be near Bobbi Kris. I also paid approximately $10,000 for Whitney and Bobbi Kris to live in a nice hotel while Whitney was going through rehab. At the same time, I basically lived out of my car.”
In defense, Whitney then responded saying,
“in November 2006, I had oral surgery and I stayed at a clinic afterwards… Bobby is trying to get child or spousal support from me, something he has done for some time now, along with his request for spousal support… Bobby is fully capable of working and earning substantial sums of money if he would control his personal behavior. It is his personal conduct that keeps him from earning substantial amounts of money.”
