Bebe Winans Says “Don’t Blame Bobby Brown” For Whitney Houston’s Problems, Death
The great singer Bebe Winans is just releasing a new book about his long friendship with Whitney Houston. I’m a big Bebe Winans fan, and I know he knew Whitney Houston better than anyone. She was very close to him and to his family. Bebe has a whole chapter called “Don’t Blame Bobby.” This is how it starts:
“Whitney never blamed Bobby for her troubles. Neither should we. I know Bobby. I knew him even before he and Whitney began seeing each other. Like any big brother, I had my concerns about the two of them together. You don’t want just anyone to take your sister in marriage. You set high, high, high expectations. The bar sits in the stratosphere regarding who you’re willing to let through the gate. Several of us close to Whitney felt the same way; this was no secret.
“But it’s also unfair and inaccurate for anyone to claim that Bobby ruined Whitney the moment they started hanging out. Bobby and I stood on the common ground of understanding. I respected what Bobby did in his career, as he did with me. So make no mistake, my words here are not meant to diminish Bobby in any way. I simply thought that he and Whitney were unequally yoked. I felt they would be great as friends, but not as husband and wife. Whitney knew I didn’t approve of their relationship early on, and especially their pending marriage.”
Bebe says he and Whitney had a very frank discussion before she got married about Brown’s insecurities in his career, all his other women, and his other children. His book, “The Whitney I Knew,” is fascinating. And there’s a dedicated website with pictures and videos no one’s ever seen at www.thewhitneyIknew.videos.com

Hi, i think that i saw you visited my website so i got here to return the prefer?
.I’m attempting to in finding issues to improve my web site!I guess its adequate to make use of some of your ideas!!
It’s funny how people say don’t blame Bobby brown for Whitney’s problems but Bobby Brown can go on tv lie and say Whitney got him on drugs and blame her for his problems and no one blinks an eye BeBe you are no friend.
Bobby did contribute to some of Whitney’s problems: very public extramarital affairs, well-known physical and mental abuse, his jealousy of Houston’s success, and using her for her money. I saw an Access Hollywood interview at a red carpet event, and Bobby referred to his wife as a ” bitch.” Give me a break ! Brown is not innocent. And, Brown’s family sold tabloid stories about Whitney.
Isn’t this an old story?
It was hard for both of them to leave each other, addiction to the drugs made it seem like they loved each other. BeBe could see that Whitney was getting too thin, though. the book lectures too much. not enough good stories. waste of my money.
I didn’t like the book, it lectured too much and wasn’t very open,alot of denial
