I doubt it. The families had been at odds for years. I almost didn't wanna believe they did but judging from the memorial service, it spoke volumes on how Bobby and his family were treated. A shame they couldn't come together to pay their respects yet the Winans are hooping and hollering. Fuck that.

Bobby left on his own accord. Cissy and BK didn't even know..

Yeah I read that. I heard Cissy even tried to get Bobby back in but he decided not to because of all that mess with the seating. They keep saying Bobbi was "sedated" that she didn't know. I kept reading Whitney's lawyers had an agreement with some of the Houston family about what should've been done about Bobby. Sounds suspect.

She was "sedated?" And who the hell even knows. At this point I don't even care. Bobby made a complete ASS out of himself. That tells me that him and BK aren't even close. He's probably like that with all his damn kids. Whitney had them all livin' up in her house.

Bobby Brown broke promises about seating and contacting daughter at Whitney Houston funeral, says lawyer

Singer's invitation to his ex-wife's 'home going' service came with a set of ground rules

Bobby Brown (l.) outside New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where ex-wife Whitney Houston's funeral was held Saturday.

Lawyer Mark G. Trigg called Atlanta's “Frank and Wanda” radio show on V-103 Tuesday morning and said Brown's lawyer agreed to a carefully crafted set of ground rules when the singer accepted the Houston family's invitation to sit in the first three rows of the New Hope Baptist Church for the packed, star-studded service in Newark.

Brown, who was divorced from Houston in 2007, agreed that he would sit in front with Houston's family while three of his children from prior relationships would sit farther back with their uncle, the lawyer said.

The “My Prerogative” singer also agreed not to approach his daughter Bobbi Kristina, nicknamed Krissy, unless the 18-year-old he shared with Houston made the first move, the lawyer said.

“Our agreement prior to the service was that if Krissy reached out to Bobby, if she tried ... to initiate any contact with him, security was certainly going to make sure that happened and would not stand in the way of her reaching Bobby if she initiated the contact,” Trigg said.

“What was asked of him however was that if Krissy didn’t initiate that contact for whatever reason, with whatever was going on in her head and heart and spirit, that day, if she didn't initiate the contact, then he was not to reach out for her. Just to respect her and her wishes during the service. That was the agreement,” Trigg said.

BOBBI KRISTINA NOW UNDER WATCH OF CISSY HOUSTON

Brown didn’t keep to the plan, though, Trigg said, and tried to approach his daughter to seek her intervention with the seating plan.

“And when he went to interact with her, that’s when security said we would ask you please go to your seat. Please have your children sit with their uncle, and let’s not have any unnecessary drama here,” Trigg said. “That's the point where he, for whatever reason, decided that he wanted to just leave the service. So he got with his three children, went up and kissed the casket and they walked out of the service.”

BOBBY BROWN LEAVES FUNERAL 20 MINUTES INTO SERVICE

Brown, who left the service after about 20 minutes and performed that night with his band New Edition in Connecticut, immediately released a statement saying he felt mistreated.

“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,” he said Saturday.

He admitted security “prevented” him from “attempting” to see his daughter, but did not mention a prior agreement to stay away.

“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,” he said. "” will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

Yeah I heard about that, I hope it went well. Regardless he's been pretty M.I.A from her life and not doing much for her! I'm just not fond of dad's who pop in an out, makes folks wonder why ya know. She's grown now and she likely will come into some kinda money. I just say watch out. IF he really is serious about their relationship he needs to show up all the time and correctly! Say what you will Whitney was there more for her and they had a better relationship.

Like I said it wasn't like Bobbi didn't see Bobby anymore after their separation/divorce. There's pictures of Bobbi with Bobby from two years ago. This was before someone talked about her being drug addicted also.

Bobbi and Bobby have been seen together a few times after the divorce. The media kinda makes the situation worse with what they hear about how Bobby was treating her. Again we really don't know anything about Bobbi and her relationship with her parents. Whitney hinted that she and Bobbi had few troubles of their own especially regarding the drug abuse and that she didn't understand why Whitney had dragged Bobbi out of their Atlanta home until Whitney told her that he spat on her and that she wasn't just seeing things. A messed up situation. Plus Bobby and Whitney were too toxic.

I'm not saying they never were around each other but its been years since the split! I dont think folks including those close to them are lying about him not being there like that. I know they had to divorce but you dont divorce your kids.

Whitney's lawyers ordered him to only see Bobbi at a precise time. Whitney had full custody of Bobbi and it's likely Bobbi didn't wanna deal with neither parent after a while which is why there were pictures of her with her friends doing God knows what.

I agree. They need to sit down and discuss and Bobby should let Bobbi have her moment to cuss him out if needed be.

As far as I know these are the only children he has:

Landon (yes it's his child even though people swear up and down it's Ralph's; I've seen Bobby's family members and I can see how that can be his son)

Laprincia

Bobby, Jr.

Bobbi Krissy

That four-year-old son he has with his current manager (forgot his name)

Landon, Laprincia and Bobby Jr. was with their father at the funeral service.

I'm like am i the only person who have seen pics of Bobby and Bobby Kris together since him and Whitney divorced ? Shit this pic was taken of the three of them on Feb 3rd

It's been umpteen years since we've seen these two together out in public. But everyone's favorite poster couple for that Hollywood Hood love...Bobby Brown & Whitney Houston...are totally different people now. So the twosome reunited for a normal dinner with the only daughter they have together, Bobbi Kristina

Lost in all this mess is that someone else died from prescription drug use, how many have to do in music and the arts and in day to day life before someone just outlaws this shit, when was the last time someone died from pot? Exactly, never.

And if I can recall, the threesome were together having dinner in, I forgot what year, probably 2009 or 2010. I'm guessing this was AFTER or BEFORE Whitney's interview with Harpo.

Good point. Prescription drugs are as much an addiction as cocaine is. In fact, Whitney admitted in 2002 that she had abused prescription pills when Diane Sawyer asked her what drug did she take and when she said "it has been (all of them) at times", that's what stood out. Plus pills can have a habit of making you real loopy. I mean her actions on tour showed someone who was trying to get it together but looking as if she may have been doped up on pills. I think she relapsed on prescription medication and alcohol but left the primo alone (marijuana/cocaine).

Prescription meds kills more recovering addicts than the shit they were taking to begin with.

Right you could actually function on street drugs longer than you can on legal drugs. Sure you could die from street drugs (with weed being an exception; and there's still debate on whether weed is not really a drug though I think it is, hell it gets you high don't it? lol) either by overdose or from heart problems after years abusing yourself with it but prescription pills can kill you an instant if you do overdose on them. We almost lost Tina Turner because of that.

U name them and prescription drugs were the cause, sure, they are their own worst enemies by putting them in their systems, but they are Drugs like any other, tired of them getting a pass cause some dude in a white coat wrote a slip for it, he and insurance companies are MORE DEADLY dealers than the guy on the corner. Whether its Heath Ledger, MJ, Whitney, and countless others, the "legal" drugs killed them, and yes add ambien to that list.

I just recently went thru a personal experience whereby my father adamantly requested a no show/no embalming when he passed. However, my mother, for her own selfish reasons, disrespected his request and put him on show. I refused to attend...but to make it even worse for myself, I had to go and research the whole embalming process, which has to be not only environmentally wrong, but absolutely the worst indecent process that anyone could ever do to a body. I will never understand why people still continue to do this?
