Whitney Houston’s Ex-Husband Bobby Brown Sparks Controversy with Tribute to Late Mother-in-Law Cissy Houston
Bobby Brown, the ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston, has found himself at the center of controversy after his recent tribute to his former mother-in-law, Cissy Houston. Cissy, who passed away at the age of 91 while receiving hospice care for Alzheimer’s disease, had a tumultuous relationship with Brown, blaming him for her daughter’s tragic death.
In a heartfelt message shared on Monday, Brown expressed his “love and blessings” to the Houston family, extending his condolences on their loss. However, insiders revealed that Cissy despised Brown and believed that he was responsible for Whitney’s struggles with addiction and eventual demise.
A source close to the family stated, “Bobby should have stayed well away from sending this tribute. Cissy went to her grave despising him and believing he abused her daughter and got her hooked on the drugs that ultimately led to her death.”
The tribute, which was intended to offer comfort and support to the grieving family, only served to reopen old wounds and reignite the animosity between Brown and the Houstons. Cissy’s lingering resentment towards Brown was well-known, and she never shied away from expressing her disdain for him.
Despite being married to Whitney for 14 years, Brown was never fully accepted or welcomed into the Houston family. Cissy’s deep-rooted anger towards him was evident during Whitney’s memorial service in 2012, where she confronted Brown and accused him of being responsible for her daughter’s downfall.
Sources revealed that Cissy’s feelings towards Brown were so intense that she refused to allow him to attend the private viewing of Whitney’s body before her funeral. She made it clear that he was not welcome and that his presence would only serve as a painful reminder of the tragedy that had befallen their family.
As the controversy surrounding Brown’s tribute continues to unfold, it is evident that the wounds left by Whitney’s death have yet to heal. The complex dynamics between Brown and the Houston family serve as a poignant reminder of the pain and heartache that often accompany loss and grief.
