When did Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown Get Divorced?
Brown wrote about Houston in his book “Being Bobby Brown” published in 2016. He wrote:
“I was having none of Whitney trying to stop me from beatἰng up the dealer. When I saw her, I whirled around, put my palm on the table and strμck her in the face. At that same moment, I was taken aback and filled with remorse.”
A&E aired the first episode of Being Bobby Brown, a reality show starring Brown. Houston told that the show contributed to the deterioration of her marriage. Just let everyone know that I was his wife, that’s all I wanted.
At the time, Houston declared:
“I was really channeling Mrs. Bobby Brown. I was attempting to make a point. To paraphrase, The media isn’t going to win. Doing that is not in your plans. There was a wedding. We both felt an intense romantic connection.”
We were completely head over heels in love. For that, we fought and then things got lost in the shuffle and a disaster ensued. The marriage was a disappointment for me. In other words, I was starting to lose myself. In that case, what led to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s split?
Houston and Brown separated in September 2006 after almost 15 years of marriage. On April 24, 2007, they officially called it quits and divorced.
Fulton County Police were summoned to the Atlanta, Georgia, home of Houston and Brown on December 7, 2003, four years before they divorced, when she reported that Brown had strμck her with his open right hand, causing her to suffer a cut lip and a brμise on her left cheek.
A Fulton County police officer told:
“It was a verbal confrontation which escalated to a physἰcal confrontation. Before the cops could arrive, Brown had already fIed the scene. Brown was formally charged with one count of vἰolence on December 10, 2003, three days after his arrest.”
Houston, who had brμising on her cheek when she appeared in court, told reporters: “We’re still together.” Brown said Houston attἀcked him instead of his attἀcking her in an interview in 2004. He said, “She struck me, Something was thrown at me, Things got worse.”
In the same interview (aforementioned) with Winfrey, Houston discussed the warning signs that ultimately led to her and Brown’s split. Houston said that Brown repeated slapping in December 2004 finally drove a wedge between them. In 2006, Houston first sought a divorce from Brown.
