It’s no secret that Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s relationship was turbulent.
There were allegations of drug abuse and hard partying from both sides (viaBiography).
Houston became a bonafide star after her first two albums were huge commercial hits.
The two met at an awards show and originally, Houston didn’t think Brown liked her.
“I and some friends of mine were sitting behind him.
I leaned over and said, ‘Bobby, I’m so sorry.’
And I was like ‘Oooooh, this guy doesn’t like me’” (viaCheat Sheet).
But the ceremony wasn’t reported to be a fairytale affair.
Adding, “I think we got married for all the wrong reasons.
Now I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did” (perMirror).
Unfortunately, it has been reported that she was a witness of her parents' troubled union.
In a later interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston admitted, “He spit on me.
He actually spit on me.
And my daughter was coming down the stairs and she saw that” (viaExpress).
“How much quality time can you spend with your daughter when you’re high all the time?
I would get really mad at Whitney, scream and yell that I wanted a divorce.
This went on for years and years.
Our daughter saw it all.
When I think about now, I just feel enormous pain.
We failed her,” he shares in his memoir (viaUSA Today).
The series gave the public an even better glimpse of their troubled union.
And dragged down both Houston and Brown’s already struggling reputations in the public eye (viaToday).
Tragically, both Houston and her daughterdied prematurelywithin three years of each other.
Fingers crossed their marriage is less turbulent than his and Houston’s.
