Why Bobby Brown Left Ex-Wife Whitney Houston’s Funeral

Shortly after the funeral service at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, Whitney Houston’s ex-husband Bobby Brown left.

In a statement, Brown, who is visibly upset, claimed an issue on the funeral service’s seating arrangement.

“My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions."

“I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”
