Whitney & Bobby divorcing

[itsreenw]

Hi Close_enough,

I totally agree as I almost fainted when I saw that simply awful pic of her on the cover.

It makes me wonder why someone would say Bobby is the worst of the two. I think they are equally caught up with the temporary euphoria of the supposed ulltimate 'high', qualifying that to mean if you love to sort things, talk non-stop about nothing meaningful, make sure you get your point across, become a recluse because you don't want anyone else to see you like this and don't ever look in the mirror to see what is happening to your body!

Looking at Whitney, I'd say she's easily as hooked as is her man!

She just better wake up and smell the coffee! Forget about the roses.

Scandi, I agree with you. Everybody blames Bobby for Whitney's drug use because he is the hip-hop bad boy and she started out being the good-girl gospel singer. She made conscious decisions regarding her life, career, etc...before she got with Bobby and I assume she made her own decisions after they got married. Regardless of which one introduced the other to whatever drug(s) they are on, they both continue to "use". Some say she introduced him to the "good" stuff. I take that to mean the higher quality, more expensive drugs.

I believe they both stay high because #1, it is an addiction and #2, that is the common factor between them-if they weren't bound together by getting high, they probably would've divorced long ago. It's obvious he gets on her nerves. It probably enhances their sex life-as that is what they always talk about on their reality show. And poor Bobbi Christina has to be humiliated by them. I get embarrassed for them when I watch how they act in public.

I've seen two pics from the 4am gas station and I can't see that it is her. Can anybody help me out with a good pic? I get the idea of what she looks like (crack ) but the face just doesn't look right. I wouldn't be surprised if it was not her though just reported to be. By no means am I a fan of hers or Bobby Browns but I did like a few songs she sang and she does have megga talent no doubt about it. As for him, I never knew who he was my daughters said he was an r&b singer without much talent and now in that article I see he was in the group New Edition which I am familiar with. It's a well known fact that he got her hooked on drugs in the first place a long time ago and beat her up a lot but she didn't press charges but I still wouldn't do a comparison of the two with the exception of talent now that I know who he is and I'd say that she was by far much better but if that really is her in the pic it's a damn shame.

Whitney and Whitney alone is responsible for her drug use/addiction.

GOOD!!! I really don't wish divorce for anyone cuz it's sad when a marriage doesn't work out for whatever reason. But this is one union that needed to be busted apart. I wonder (if true) who initiated it.

The 2 of them both need to be in therapy. Their show was sooooo painful to watch. I really liked the episode where they locked his daughter (12 or 13 years old) out of the house so they could have sex, or when they discussed his releiving her constipation with his finger. Classy.

What a couple of morons. Whitney looks like s___t , so they might as well make people forever relate that to her when they see the face.

:sick: OMG! I have only caught the show once, by accident, but couldn't turn it off. Thank goodness this wasn't the episode I caught, I would have had to retain an attorney for mental distress!

can't help you out on a clearer pic, strach304, but i have the NE here, & it's definately Whitney Houston...

Ok thanks, just a verification from a fellow sleuther is what I wanted since you can't always trust these media outlets. I don't really wanna see a better pic of that, it's really disgusting. Her legacy may end up being that pic blown up poster size next to a pic of her from years ago at an award show promoting why you don't do drugs!

To be honest with you, she deserves no less.

i'm disgusted by her abandonment of her gifts and her swilling down into low-life trash.

she honestly could have been a contender (she was). for her children's (children?), she sucks big time. :loser:

It's a well known fact that he got her hooked on drugs in the first place a long time ago .

Source please, I'd be interested in reading/watching the media release regarding that.

IMO, nobody can get anybody else hooked on drugs unless one person is giving the other person drugs without their own knowledge or consent. For instance, if Bobby was slipping cocaine in Whitney's food or something, then ok, maybe he did get her hooked because it is an addictive drug and it would then be in her system, and that may result in an addiction, but if she willingly tried it because he introduced the drug to her and she kept using, she got herself hooked.

I am curious to know which of them stated, as a fact, that Bobby introduced Whitney to drugs.

Seems this report is false.

Bobby Brown is brushing off reports that he and wife Whitney Houston are headed for divorce court. "The rumors are wrong," Brown told PEOPLE on Thursday. "They're false."

Among several recent reports about the couple, New York's Daily News said the R&B singer, 36, was telling friends that he was planning to divorce Houston, 42. (The Atlanta-area based couple have a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 12). The Daily News also reported that earlier this month Brown was seen with several women backstage at Connecticut's Foxwoods Casino.

Asked by PEOPLE on Thursday how the story started, Brown replied, "I really couldn't tell you. They say I said something about it, but I joke a lot. ... I don't think I said it, but if I did it was a joke. Trust me. ... It's someone that got the words mixed up."

Sorry no source as that is way old info but maybe I should have worded it as started on coke rather than hooked but by the time it was common knowledge she was hooked. From a few posts here seems like people want to beat up on her because of her condition presently more than him or act defensive of him when he's just as bad imo. This morning I clicked on a video TMZ on aol (source) and there was a blurb about all this talk of the split and that there are pre-recorded shows on hold that won't be shown and no renewal of the show if a divorce is in the works because without Whitney there is no show. Not my words. Never seen the show and don't plan on watching it. I can't believe so many people have seemed to have forgotten or just never knew in the first place how bad things were back in her hey day when she first started with all this there were so many pics published of her face black and blue and she did eventually make statements about the abuse and they seperated etc.

i figured he made the statement, "We ain't together no more. We're getting a divorce", because he was out prowlin for women....he's such a prankster

I previously worked in the sports/entertainment industry and worked frequently with Clive Davis' office. My friend there told me that Whitney wasn't squeaky clean when she started her career, but Clive molded her in that image because he knew it would sell. Regardless, it is a damn shame. I actually hope they do stay together because they deserve each other.

Strach, I don't think people are beating up on her. I think as fans, people are just disappointed that she seems to have succumbed to the sex, drugs, rock & roll lifestyle. I don't think anyone is defending Bobby, but instead, accepting the fact that he should not be held responsible for Whitney's downfall which seems to be the majority opinion in most discussions. As far as the domestic violence, I don't condone that in any situation. Bobby needs to pay the consequences. Unfortunately like too many other DV survivors, I believe Whitney suffers from battered woman's syndrome. DV has no status boundaries.

This is not about Whitney and Bobby divorcing, it is about Whitney and drugs. Hope it is okay to post the info. on this thread.

If even a portion of Tina Brown's (Bobby's sister) story is true, I don't think Whitney will be with us much longer. I believe Tina gave an interview to the National Enq., so keep that in mind.

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/404030p-342056c.html

The story also claims that: Snips:

Whitney hallucinates and sees "demons" when she's high. She bites and beats herself black-and-blue but blames the "Devil" for the injuries. "The Devil be hitting me," Whitney reportedly told Brown.

When Whitney's mom, Cissy, forced her to attend rehab sessions in March 2004, Tina Brown says, Whitney smoked crack on the way to the meetings and dodged the urine drug tests saying: "I'm not giving you no pee today. I don't have none right now."

Whitney allegedly loses her $6,000 set of false teeth when she's high and once appeared toothless, scaring the kids at her niece's school.

Whitney smokes as much as an "eight-ball" (1/8 of an ounce) of crack at a time, mixing it with marijuana encased in a cigar wrapper, according to Tina Brown.

In 2004, a drug dealer called Bobby Brown and ordered him to remove the paranoid and out-of-control Whitney from his crack house. "Come get your wife. I'm sick of this b----," the dealer reportedly complained.

If this is true it is so sad. It breaks my heart to see any individual get to this point... famous or not.

 

[izzyB]

i saw this article in the Sun about the sister-in-law "outing" whitney and it was gross. i just shake my head in disbelief. i remember whitney as a beauty who could sing like no other. i pray that she DOES leave bobby and get help!

 

[newtv]

Well, if this is true, and I hope it is, all I can say is FINALLY!!

Its about damn time-whitney's life has been ruined by being with him..she has been lost at a time in her life where she should be at her peak in everything..I have such a sad sense about her-she is a tragedy -and its really sad.
I hope she is sincere and I cannot imagine her being as badly off without him as with him.
I also dont blame just him-but together they are not healthy..she should have left him a long time ago but I know she like many women take a long time to be finished with a loser.
