Bobby Brown's book bashes Whitney Houston
Bobby Brown is set to release his autobiography Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But next month, but the New York Post has the scoop, saying the singer blames his ex-wife Whitney Houston for his drug use and more.
"I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice," Brown writes. "At one point in my life, I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine."
But it was the allegedly false pretenses of his marriage that really hurt. He says his relationship "was doomed from the very beginning. Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow," he writes. "I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married ... I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children."
Aw, he's crying on the inside. He also says that one of the big things Whitney had to clean up was rumors she was bisexual, and that he strayed early and often himself. And these two stayed together for 15 years?

Honestly I doubt whitney married bobby to squatch bisexual rumors. Whitney truly loved bobby it seemed as if she'd do anything for him. He cheated on her,he did the drugs before he met her,and her career was way better than his which would be the cause for jealousy.He was with so many women so he was doomed when it came to women.He just feels bad for himself and wants to defend himself.

Talk about desperate for attention Mr. Bobby Brown needs to stop blaming Whitney for his misfortunes. He needs to stop blaming Ms. Houston for his problems and get out of denial. I wouldn't spend a dime for the book

Whether it is true or not, I think it is in poor taste for him to write a book about the mother of his child. This man has absolutely no class and does not care about anyone, but himself. He is definitely not thinking about his child and what this is going to do to her

IMO, Bobby caused Whitney's downfall, not the other way around. He ruined her.
