Bobby Brown has discussed being accused for the death of Whitney Houston. Apart from saying those allegations hurt him no bounds, he revealed what he thinks truly killed his ex-wife, and the legendary music icon.
The New Edition singer, who was married to the celebrity from 1992 until 2007, spoke with Fox News Digital to promote his documentary, Biography: Bobby Brown, in which he alleges Whitney did not quit drugs when he did, causing a gap in their marriage. It may be the reason why Houston eventually died, and he survived, even though they both led lives of substance abuse.
In the new interview, Bobby addressed the charges that he was responsible for the singer's sad drowning death due to drug use in 2012.
"That was pretty rough. Not many people knew what was going on. Not many people knew how (those accusations) affected me," he said. "Not many people knew what they were talking about. They weren't living, breathing, or waking up with us. They just took it to the outer limits of expressing what they thought was going on. But the truth is, they really didn't know what was going on."
In 2020, Bobby received therapy for alcoholism in a facility, and he is now sober.
Bobby also discussed his own rehabilitation process.
"There were so many times that I said to myself, 'I want to get clean.' And I actually got clean from narcotics. That was so long ago and I'm thankful for it," he added.
However, after abstaining from illegal drugs, Bobby continued to struggle with alcohol. He said the reality was that alcohol truly had a significant role in his life, so he was committed to removing it from his life, despite the immense struggles. It is a while since he wanted to live a joyful life and now that he has a chance to, he does not want to waste it.
Most people first became aware of the singer in the 1980s, when she released a succession of acclaimed pop tunes. This career lasted into the 1990s. It also helped launch her acting career, which culminated in her co-starring alongside Kevin Costner in the 1992 film "The Bodyguard." Houston's interpretation of "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton on the film's soundtrack received her "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Vocal Performance" Grammys.
In the 2000s, fans witnessed the singer's descent into addiction and her troubled marriage to Bobby Brown. Much of this dysfunctional relationship and its related issues were revealed on the reality television program "Being Bobby Brown." On February 11, 2012, Houston drowned accidentally due to drug use. She was only 48 years of age.
