Ten years since the tragic loss of American singer, Whitney Houston, her ex-husband Bobby Brown says he believes that ex-wife Whitney Houston would still be alive today if they had stayed together.
The former New Edition star admits that he talks to Whitney Houston from beyond the grave.
Says that he didn’t know Houston took drugs until he walked in on her doing a line of cocaine shortly before their 1992 wedding
He made this known in a new A&E upcoming documentary about his life, where he reflected on his relationship with Whitney and their struggles with substance abuse.
Brown who gathered the strength to visit his ex wife and their daughter’s graves at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey for the first time said their romance failed when he cleaned up but the she was still enjoying coke and booze binges.
Reflecting on Whitney’s death Bobby said:
‘ I think we could have helped each other out.
‘I think she would still be here if we hadn’t divorced.
‘I wasn’t there. I beat myself about it because I wasn’t there. I wish I could have been there for her.
‘We had made our beds and had to lie in them. We always felt that our love was strong enough to overcome any obstacle put in front of us.
‘We would still be together if it wasn’t for drugs. Drugs got the best of us.’
‘They told me she would not live a normal life. I was prepared to care for her for the rest of my life, being a vegetable. But my daughter would not like to live like that.
‘Whitney came to me in dreams and (said) “let my baby go!”. And that is what I had to do.’
Getting tearful, he spoke about his daughter. He said;
‘Being her father meant everything to me. To know how special she was can only be seen through love.
‘My daughter is with me every day. She is one of my angels.’
‘I brought you guys some flowers. Sorry I have not come by.
‘Sorry this is my first time. But you guys know I don’t like cemeteries.
‘I know you are looking down watching me, watching your siblings. I hope you are taking care of little Bobby I know you guys are frightened up there. I miss you guys so much. Y’all take care of each other okay.’
Bobby talked about his marriage adding:
‘After I got married that is when I started using hard drugs. We were going through the stresses of stardom, fame, money, drugs and rock’n’roll.
‘We started not working, getting high and it became a part of our daily routine.’
‘I used to smoke preempt – crack cocaine inside weed. You roll them up. I was so high.
‘I thought Whitney was trying to kill me. I ended up running through a field. I had a 57 magnum on me, cocaine, crack and weed in this.
‘My addiction affected my career big time.’
‘Before I went to jail I had started using heroin, along with crack and weed. I was only sniffing, not shooting it. I was able to kick heroin and crack in jail. I did it on my own.’
‘I knew I had moved into a different realm. Whitney was still using hard drugs. That is when the problems started with me and her I wanted her to become sober like I was but it was really hard for both of us to stay together and be together.’ he added.
