Bobby Brown Leaves Whitney Houston’s Funeral, Then Releases Statement

.
Meanwhile, TMZ reports that the reason Bobby Brown left was because he had an argument with the family. Allegedly, he wanted to speak during the service … but was denied. Other outlets report that Bobby Brown’s entourage was too large to enter. Stay tuned for an update.
UPDATED::: After the service ended, Bobby Brown’s representative, released the following statement:
“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…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.”

When will Bobby Brown ever grow up, he is such a screw up he needs to clean up
why is bobby a screw up for simply asking to speak. I bet if ray j would have asked with his faked out ass it would have been granted. Within the next couple of weeks i bet he will post something in reference to how he just wanted to touch her coffin one more time. Bobby is the father of her child and deserved the right to console his child and publicly ask this family for forgiveness if that was his desire so they all come move pass the drama. It is so amazing how people can play religion when the cameras are on but the have no remorse nor forgiveness when the true christian faith is due. Examines your ownselves and see who is actually the hyprocrits just as Christ found in the pharisees.
Bobby did nothing wrong. When are rightous people gonna stop being hypocrytes. He deserves to not only mourn and say goodbye but he also deserves to be able to comfort his daughter and allow her siblings to show respect for her loss. #peoplehavetheirnerve
I believe Bobby Brown may have left due to his son was visibly shaken in the service….
i think no matter what that fact was they should not treated him that way cuz this is a funeral not a party or something else. even to his daughter she should atleast talk to her dad and just drop the past, like come on its a funeral like i said. if your family dont want u to talk to ur dad i am pretty sure u r old enough to do what is rite and just treat ur dad with respect, he is ur dad and will always be ur dad no matter what. its sad yes but i didnt like the face how the treat bobby brown. thats how i feel. thanks
Funerals are fresh wounds for families, especially for a person who died too soon. I think that Bobby knows that there is animosity toward him and he is her “ex-husband,” not current. He should have come in quietly and not made a scene. Hopefully he won’t speak on it further.
If he wasnt accommodated thats a shame.
Wasn’t Bobby Brown given 3 invitations – meaning that he could bring 2guests inside the funeral? So, what about this did Bobby not understand and what does the camera diving Rev. Jessee Jackson not understand about invitations only. See, what Jessee doesn’t want us to know is that he wasn’t invited either. Dionne Warwick doesn’t care for the trickster Reverend – this is about Jessee being mad that he couldn’t speak for the funeral. He’s lucky that Dionne had class and didn’t shove him off the pulpit.
I think its ashame the way mr brown was treated. Regardless of what anyone thinks or says he was a very important part of ms houstons life and deserved to pay his respescts just like anyone else if not more. Everyone knows ms houston truely loved him as he did her and noone has the right to deny that or him his chance to say goodbye to someone he spent half his life with. Leave it to a bunch of so called christians to be a bunch of big ass hypocrytes.where is the love and forgiveness they always preachin about. We all make mistakes in life but the love that they shared was totally disrespected and that is not an honor to ms houston and what she would have wanted. So here’s to all u so called christians that think you on such a high horse, leave the judgments to GOD and if you really
Were honoring her you would have shown some type of empathy not only for the man she loved but the father of her only child and the fact that she was screaming n her casket for you to leave her bobby alone and let him say goodbye and also comfort his daughter who now only has one parent here on earth. Remember your mistakes arnet any better than any one elses. Live, love and learn. RIP MS HOUSTON U SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTON
I absolutely, wholeheartedly agree. No matter what happened between Bobby and Whitney – they shared a life together, a child, and on some level are forever connected. I think its a disgrace that he had to fight to be apart of Whitney’s homecoming. I’m certain that the rumors of him spanning from him not being invited to being treated poorly all have a ring of truth. Ironically this time Bobby Brown is not the one who needs to grow up.
You do not spend 14 years with someone and not mourn them when they pass. Everyone around them spoke about how deep their love was. However, their drugs showed the ugly side of their relationship. Out of respect for Bobbi Kristina, they should have “accommodated” her FATHER and her half siblings. Why not ask non-relatives to move three times? Disrespectful.
