Whitney Houston’s Ex Bobby Brown ‘Rubbed Salt in Wound’ Of Her Mom Cissy Houston’s Death By Sending Her Family ‘Love and Peace’ Tribute

Bobby Brown’s recent tribute to Cissy Houston has ignited a firestorm among the family of the late Whitney Houston. Sources reveal that Cissy, who passed away at 91 from complications related to Alzheimer’s, had a deep-seated disdain for Brown, whom she held responsible for her daughter’s struggles with addiction and ultimate death.

On Monday, Brown shared his condolences with the Houston family, expressing “love and blessings” in honor of Cissy. Insider accounts indicate that this gesture was poorly received by the family. As reported by RadarOnline.com, a source stated, “Bobby should have refrained from sending this tribute. Cissy went to her grave harboring animosity towards him, blaming him for introducing Whitney to drugs that led to her tragic demise.”

The tension surrounding this tribute is palpable, with sources close to the family claiming Brown’s presence only serves as a painful reminder of their losses. “He should have remained silent; the Houston family wants nothing to do with Bobby,” said one insider. “His words feel like salt in the wounds of their recent heartbreak.”

Cissy Houston believed she had failed her daughter in fighting against addiction, and her unresolved guilt surrounding Whitney’s death lingered until her final days. It’s well-known that Cissy despised Brown, which colored his tribute, making it feel disingenuous to the grieving family.

Whitney and Bobby were married for 14 tumultuous years, and the scars of that relationship are evident. His tribute was a joint message shared with his current wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, lamenting the loss with a statement: “Sending love and blessings to the Houston family on this great loss. May she rest in Peace and Power. The Browns.”

The rift between Cissy and Brown was never a secret. At Whitney’s memorial in 2012, Cissy directly expressed her bitterness, telling him, “I hate you. You killed my daughter by turning her on drugs. The day she married you was the worst day of my life.”

This discord led to a strained relationship, which further escalated during the funeral arrangements. While Cissy initially allowed Brown to attend the church service, she drew the line at a private viewing of Whitney’s body, insisting he was unwelcome.

Bobby Brown’s tribute, while intended to be a gesture of respect, is seen as a profound misstep given the complexities of his past with the Houston family. The fallout continues to reverberate, as Cissy Houston’s legacy remains intertwined with the anguish and unresolved issues surrounding her daughter’s life and death.
