Hmm if I recall correctly, he did say he tried cocaine recreationally after the success of Don't Be Cruel...

@Terrib3, I doubt it. I saw some '80s pics of Whitney with a cigarette in her hand...

Point is, both were toxic to each other.

Yeah, they were def toxic for eachother.

And yeah, Whitney said she would go and sneak off to the girls bathroom to smoke when she was 15.

Never understood why singers smoke.

Terrib3Towel, that's a beautiful pic. Do you know where it's from?

I never got that either.

That was an avatar for someone over at a Whitney forum, I stole it lol. But I think I've seen the full version somewhere, I think it may be from a photo shoot for her second album. Don't quote me on that though..

this is true-just bad for each other, but isn't that how it always goes

Great interview!!! Bobby needs to be honored as the King of Rnb Icon. Too bad Mtv doesn't do those anymore.. He gets a bad rap from everybody. I feel his pain & anguish...

Whatever Bobby, you're a LIAR.

Bobby Brown is a living contradiction. While he should have been spending time helping make he and Whitney the pre cursor to Jay Z and Beyonce he was busy doing everything in his power to be the number one cause of Nippy becoming more and more dependent on coke because Lord knows she could not depend on him.

Here is a youtube clip that shows that the Today interview is indeed bull.

Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Everything in Between

That youtube clip was the biggest bullshit sandwich I have ever seen. That man was not even talking about Bobby. You can string together a bit of this and bits of that and manipulate it to look like whatever you want.

And it is well documented how Whitney treated Catholic girls.

I love this performance. At the end for real.

But my favorite vocal performance from Whitney is the Michael Jackson tribute where she is on a mission to sing Wanna Be Startin' Somthin' to the moon and back. You could really tell how much she was feeling that song and how important it was for her to hit it on point.

I don't care that she wasn't in completely perfect voice - she was is really great voice singing a tough song. And FUCK IT!, she may have been a little thin, but I love this clip and I am going to post it. http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related

That was a pretty good interview, seemed way more real than the Oprah interview which felt like it was more "staged" than anything else.

Glad his kids were invited to the interview and spoke out about how they felt.

Awfully interesting how they said Bobbi Kris declined for THIS interview. Feels like someone is pulling the strings on her end...*cough*Pat*cough*

Agree with all this....

My theory is Bobbi Kristina has had a strained relationship with her father since her and Bobby spit back in 2006. Bobby was clearly lying about talking to her. And because of her relationship with Bobby, it has caused a riff between her and her siblings.

Basically, Bobbi is siding with Whitney's side of the family, she's not close to the Browns AT ALL. She should take a note from her brother and sister and go to COLLEGE. College these days costs between 40-100k, a drop in the bucket for Bobbi Kris (Whitney left her with millions, I don't believe the broke rumors). But she's determined to be in the industry, even though she doesn't have her mother's looks or voice.

That's usually the way it goes in a divorce-one parent is less visible and the child sides with the custodial parents family. I think another part of it is that Bobbi actually knows and witnessed how her Dad treated her mom and has decided to not pursue a relationship with him. Especially if she saw him spit on her and hit her-which I believe he did.

I think Bobby is lying when he says Bobbi tells him everything-I don't think they are that close.

There's no telling how much Bobbi Kris saw. She was raised in what basically was a drug den.

^ Poor child

They both abused drugs and that was their choice, it appears Mr. Brown it made it through the storm and as we know his ex- wife didn't. Tragic? Yes, but it is what it is. Neither one of them would've recieved an award for being stable responsible parents. If they didn't have wealth to shield them, I have no doubt B.K. would've been snatched by D.F.S. so quick everybodies head would've been swimming. To make Mr. Brown out to be a villain is about as ridiculous as making Ms. Houston out to be some poor lil' clueless dumb girl who didn't have a mind of her own and the power to make choices. Good-grief.

No villains-just thinking of the things Bobbi may have witnessed and yes CPS woulda been on them so quick if they weren't rich

On that note, I feel he probably wasn't so much lying as he was wishful-thinking aloud. It seemed to me that he even had his own doubts once the words dropped from his own mouth. I think many parents would probably like to feel like their children tell them everything. But I think that in reality, that's rarely the case.

Good interview. Thanks for posting.

The folks that I knew that lived in Newark/Ea. Orange NJ have all said that Whit was a fun (and wild) child going back to the early 80's. She was dabbling with the stuff WAY before she met Bobby.

Yeah, in vids from the early 80s you can see her nostrils are pink. My belief is that once she met Bobby she started to smoke. Hence the change in her voice after the 80s.

I see its never going to stop the blaming on Bobby for everything. Even Cissy won't talk to him.
