Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown: Is Singer's Ex Trying to Sell a Tell-All Book?

Since the untimely passing of Whitney Houston, the singer's ex-husband Bobby Brown has caused nothing but drama. First came the rumors that Brown's beef with Whitney's family had lead to him being blacklisted from Houston's funeral. Then, after Bobby was invited to attend the event, he brought a huge entourage and left in a huff over a ridiculous seating dispute.

Now, new reports are surfacing today that paint Brown in an even worse light. According to sources, the singer is once again shopping around a tell-all book he penned about his time with Whitney -- and is looking to sell it to the highest bidder.

"Back in 2008, the interest in a book on Whitney Houston wasn't that great," an insider at a major publishing house tells Perez Hilton. "Whitney had fallen off the radar back then ... but now, following her tragic death, the market has changed. Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney."

Whether the book by Bobby will actually be published remains to be seen, but those close to Whitney are disgusted by Brown's callous behavior since her passing. "This is a man who left his ex-wife's funeral because he didn't like his seats and went to a paying gig that night," a friend of Whitney's shares with Perez. "He didn't get on stage that night because he needed to sing his greatest hits or because Whitney would have wanted him to entertain his fans, he did it to get a paycheck - the same reason he now wants to [sell] a tell-all book."

Whitney was a big girl who truly loved Bobby. I don't believe he was the cause of her downfall, as she wasn't the angel everyone portrayed her as. They came from similar backgrounds, from the rough streets of NJ. True, she spent time in church, but there are many people who spend time in church who lead outside lives that are a bit uncrupulous. I don't think either Whitney or Bobby were good role models for their child. She was exposed to every sickening aspect of their drug addicted lives, so both are to blame for their behavior and their lack of parental skills. True, Whitney had the voice of an angel, and her music will last forever, but each person is responsible for their own behavior, and it is easy for her family to blame Bobby for Whitney's downfall, but Whitney was responsible for Whitney. During their pathetic attempt at reality TV, he appeared to be more of a parent than she was. To have your child, who was young at the time, be part of that tragedy was disgusting on both their parts. It is sad that Whitney is gone. It is sad that Cissy lost her child. It is sad that Bobbi Kristina lost her mom, and it is sad that society lost a talented performer, but like I said, Whitney was a big girl who evidently didn't love herself to help herself.

I'm curious to know what he has to say, but I doubt everything in there will be true. Of course he's going to make himself seem like a saint and make Whitney out to be the bad one...

Bobby Brown should have some respect for the mother of his child and put the book in the fireplace and burn it - I would never buy a copy of anything that he would profit from and if he hopes to have any relationship with his daughter he should forget the idea of a book about Whitney - it violates an unspoken trust

Apparently I am the only person who ever watched the Whitney/Bobby reality show. I don't know how anyone can come away from that train wreck without realizing how disturbed Whitney Houston was. I give Bobby Brown a lot of credit for sticking it out with her as long as he did. Her daughter should not have been allowed anywhere near that woman. That she is possibly also an addict cannot surprise anyone. She was raised by one-her mother. Sorry if I offend her family, friends and fans, but they are blind to what kind of life she led with her daughter in tow.

No, you are not the only one who watched the 1 season of their reality show. You are; however, the only one who apparently watched with blinders on if you did not see that both Whitney and Bobby were very troubled and abusing drugs TOGETHER. How dare you give him credit for sticking it out with her when they were married. Further, she was the one by his side for his numerous court dates (one of which was due to an assault on her), financially helped his out of wedlock children and loved him unconditionally. Mary Anne Folcher, have a seat.
