It’s clear to see that Bobby and Whitney really loved each other throughout their fourteen-year marriage, but it’s public knowledge (especially after that “Whitney” biopic, which was better than I thought it would have been by the way) that they had some rough patches. Bobby’s said several times that he never used hard drugs before meeting Whitney and that she used drugs before they were involved. “I worried about it when…we first got together until I tried it,” he said. “And when I tried it, for some reason, I have an addictive personality.”

Back in 2005, on his reality show “Being Bobby Brown,” a spotlight was placed on he and Whitney’s relationship. Although it was clear that they definitely loved each other, Bobby said that show was a “wake-up, because we were able to see what others were saying about us…And I saw that our drug use had affected our relationship, had affected the love we felt for each other.”

It’s no secret that drugs weren’t Bobby’s only problems. He had plenty while on heroin. For instance: The IRS became interested in Brown’s finances. When he was in trouble, “Whitney stepped in and we made a deal on my mansion in Atlanta,” he was quoted saying to an interviewer. “The bank was trying to foreclose on it and Whitney bailed me out. I ended up doing a little trick where I sold the house to her and we ended up being able to pull equity out of the house.”

Thank goodness he’s off that stuff. Now all we need is for Bobby to get his health back at 100% because these New Edition shows are definitely off the hook, but it’s always good seeing all 6 members on that stage, showing these youngins how it’s really done, but I digress. Regardless of any of our opinions about Bobby, there’s no denying that the man is a very talented artist. Addiction of any kind- especially heroin addiction, isn’t easy to kick, so we applaud Bobby B. for kicking his heroin habit. Hopefully he’ll stay focused on what’s really important- his kids, his career, his family- and never fall victim to that again.
