Bobby Brown reveals more secrets about his life and his relationship with Whitney Houston for an upcoming episode of Behind The Music on VH1. In the interview, according to AOL Blackvoices, Bobby Brown talks about his tumultuous marriage to singer Whitney Houston:
I think we corrupted each other. I don’t think she hurt me or I hurt her in any way. I just think we had a 14-year marriage that had its ups and downs, and not many people understood it.
Brown also reveals the reason he abused drugs and alcohol:
I used an awful lot, can’ take that back! Cocaine, it’s a powerful drug.I just think I was bored. I had just gotten married, and things [weren't] right and I turned to alcohol and drugs.
The most shocking thing in the interview was learning that he had a past relationship with Janet Jackson, and that relationship also lead to him drinking to cope:
Before I met Janet [Jackson], I would never drink hard liquor, I only drank beer. But after our break up, I started drinking hard liquor abundantly. I took the way our relationship ended very hard. Not to say we were head over heels in love, but she was someone I had a lot of feelings for.
Besides, we were young and naive. I was only about 19 or 20 years old. Young love is no joke!
Janet is right, she has been fortunate that many of the people she dated didn’t tell her business. She has been linked to a lot of men in the industry and that hasn’t even discussed their relationship with Janet. [Source]

Everybody has their “side” or “version” of a story. Only Bobby, Whitney, their daugther and those other parties that were involved knows the truth.
I believe that Whitney only shared 2% of what she wanted Oprah and the world to know. The picture was painted and she came out on top as a “princess” gone bad and Bobby came out on the bottom (as usual) as a broke low-life psycho bum that dragged the “princess” down in the gutters with him.
I must say…”spitting” on another human being and “striking” a woman (especially the mother of your child), in my opinion, is the lowest to devalue a person’s worth/self esteem. Bobby should still be on his knees thanking God that he’s still alive.

Has anyone considered Whitney’s false teeth (the top row) could possibly contributed to why her voice appears more darker and mature on her new CD?
If you look closer at the interview with Oprah, at times it appears (facial expressions, mouth tightnen & pronounciation of words) that she’s struggling to keep them in.
She looks good, well rested and healthy in the interview but I can’t get pass her struggling with those teeth.

Wow! She’s really turned herself around and I’m happy for her, who wouldn’t be? This was a very interesting interview. I noticed levels of excitement when she spoke about the drugs and lifestyle they were living. Seems almost to bring back the memories of some pleasurable times.
I believe she was looking for her “Daddy” in the arms of a Man who couldn’t handle her the way he needed to and who wasn’t capable of it.
Love her new album!!
