Last month marked the sixth anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death, and in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Bobby Brown opened up about his years in the music industry and the tragic endings for his late wife and their daughter Bobbi Kristina.
When asked about what caused Houston’s death in February 2012, he said he believes she died from a broken heart. “She was a great woman,” he said, adding that he doesn’t believe there were drugs in her system. “I don’t think she died from drugs.” (Although Houston was found to have cocaine,
marijuana, Xanax, Benadryl and other medication in her system.)
Brown also said justice still hasn’t been served in the July 2015 death of his daughter Bobbi Kristina, as Nick Gordon — found “legally responsible” — is still free.
“No, not yet. Because he’s still walking around free,” said Brown when asked if he feels justice was gained after Gordon was ordered by a court to pay $36 million to the estate of his former girlfriend after he was found him liable for her death.
Added Brown of what would bring him peace: “If he was locked up somewhere where somebody can rape him. That’s just how I feel. He raped me by taking my daughter away.”
The former New Edition member begins shooting The Bobby Brown Story miniseries next week, airing this fall on BET.
