Bobby Brown: Whitney Houston Drove Me To Drugs

[CatWoman]

The NY Post got a sneak peek at Bobby Brown's upcoming autobiography:


"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 in "Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But," out next month. "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."


As far as his 15-year marriage to Houston is concerned, it "was doomed from the very beginning. Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow," Brown 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."

Whitney, he alleges, had been under "a lot of pressure. The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn't go too well with her image . . . In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not. In the short, I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world."

But Brown notes that he was no saint in their relationship, confessing in his book, "I am guilty of sleeping with other women . . . Women are always throwing themselves at you. I'm only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes . . . I let the testosterone take over."

2. Is he a Repug?

He's got the accept no personal responsibility for crummy behavior duck and dodge down pat.

[IndianaJones]

3. he's making a country album. nt.

[raccoon]

4. Typical addict behavior--it's always the other person's fault. nt

[lizerdbits]

5. Yep, sounds like a friend's soon to be ex husband

He uses drugs either because she nags or is not being supportive. The years of use before they met apparently never happened. :eyes:

6. Her voice would drive me to drugs, too.

Ugh. Could never stand her. Same with Mariah Carey. Caterwauling and shrieking isn't singing.

[kwassa]

7. Actually, I think both of them have great voices.

Now, how those voices are used is another matter.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. LOL. Good point.

I just can't stomach the yodeling. Drives me batty.

[bigwillq]

12. Wow.

We must have very different tastes.

Yeah, I agree, Mariah's voice can be very annoying at times.

However, I think Whitney has (had) one of music's all-time greatest voices. I love Whitney. Despite her descent into drugs and madness over the last 10 years, I still think she is one of best singers ever.

15. Whitney's voice is at a pitch that causes me ear pain

I'm not exaggerating. She actually reaches some frequency or combination of frequencies that makes my left ear buzz painfully, and I have to turn the music off or leave the room.

I don't have that problem with any other female singer.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Her 'voice' is one thing. It's the yodeling I can't stomach.

It pushes her voice to a timbre that drives me nuts. I can't listen to her anymore. Started with the song from the Bodyguard. Ugh.

[MrSlayer]

13. Hear Hear.

I despise that R&B wailing garbage.

[regularguy]

9. Interesting.

For me it's always been the desire to get high that drove me to drugs...:crazy:

11. I'll bet she made him stiff his other kids on child support, too

:eyes:

14. Was it her fault that he rolled up on The Dalai Lama the way he did?

:rofl:

The look on His Holiness' face was priceless.
