Bobby Brown on Whitney Houston: 'We Corrupted Each Other'

After his ex-wife Whitney Houston gave a revealing new interview with Oprah Winfrey airing Monday, Bobby Brown opens up to "The Insider" about his former rocky relationship.

 

"I think we corrupted each other," Brown tells new "Insider" correspondent Chris Jacobs. "I don't think she hurt me or I hurt her in any way. I just think we had a 14-year marriage that had its ups and downs, and not many people understood it."

"I used an awful lot and can't take that back," Brown reveals about his former drug habit.

He reveals his former drug of choice to be cocaine, saying, "It's a powerful drug."

As for why he got into drugs, Brown tells us: "I just think I was bored. I had just gotten married, and things [weren’t] right and I turned to alcohol and drugs."

Watch the video to see how Brown feels about Houston's interview with Oprah.

"Behind The Music: Bobby Brown" premieres Sept.24 on VH1.

  • I think in relationships there is no right or wrong decision in many times we find ourself in cases where we are not sure of the decisions we have made. in Whitney's case love was good when they meet and it changed as long as she was able to gain strenght to get out when she was still alive.as long as she is happy about her decision as she says .that's and she has her baby girl i think that will be good for her.

  • I just think the world can at times be very cruel. Instead of supporting both of them for comming out of such a nightmare, we are busy judging them and making silly comments. Lets celetrate the rainbow at the end of the tunnel and encourage both of them to leave the past where it is and move on with their lives. They are parents and should not repeat the mistakes they made in the past. Whitney you are a mother and your daughter is growing, its your time to be a rolemodel for her, you have been for many of us when we were young, and you made your mistakes. But your child is the most important person that you need to please now, forget the world. I think it was very brave of you to come out and i am glad you never said much about bobby on the interview cause he will always be the father of your child, that wont change and what happened between the two of you affected her enough and she doesnt need more. Move on girl, be strong and you will make it. Same to you Bobby, just let it go and move on. Not all of us are judging you, instead we are constantantly praying for you. Whitney dont go there again, please its not worth it. We love you dearly!

  • Personally I think all this Whit! is looking for sympathy I think its not fair 1st of all she made it clear that she did drugs cos she was partner with her hubby on the interview Whit had only mentioned that Bobby wasnt going to leave her out on anything saying that I think she ment she made a choice of being Bobby's life partner all these coments make me sick cos to it sound like we are hanging her for telling the truth She is our star we love her; her music made us happy but somewhere she lost herself and she did us wrong and she took the stage and said "I'm sorry I tokk your love for granted" is that why everybody is dising her for saying I was wrong I think people should think before you say anything abuot anyone she is back lets all rejoice and be happy for her it is this kind of atittude that made us loose MJ we are too quick to judge

  • i feel both are in fault for the drugs and it's sad the only person we all have not concern I'll ourselves with is their daughter who had to look at this situation for for 14years.
    I as a mother would have not put my child through so much for so many years and not cry out for help not only for myself but for my kid. whith all the money that whitney have there is no excuse for her action. anyone can honor up with their mouth for their mistake but when you never for as many years try and get help or leave bobby put herself through all that trauma and her child also. get real they was doing want they like doing and wanted to do. She she became reform is first stop was to engage herself with someone younger enough to be her son "come on" again doing want he or she like doing and now wanting everybody to feel sorry for her "NOT". Now how do you think that make her daughter feel getting her freak on with somebody younger enough to be her son. Please forget Bobby and Whitney likes think about the kid . They Ain't

  • i feel each should take responsibility for their action and not point the finger on no one. Bobby was just as talented as whitney and she made her own choices about her life and no one is to blame but herself. Ive been in the drug relationship and i blame myself for it. Because i wasn't forced i made that choice to destroy myself and now I have to live with that and move on. I still love my husband and don't have any hardship or blame on him. inside he is a wonderful person and we both got caught up in world. If it had not been for God my Savior we probably would have end up dead. He has he life now and I have mine and all we can do is push foward and me there for each other. Hold on Bobby and keep the faith. If you feel their is nobody on your side never forget I know the Lords is. Helliemae Love Ya

  • There is only so much we know - we only know what they (Whitney and or Bobby) tell us, so much is speculation on our parts. But in regards to the aspect that brought Whitney Houston to us as a star, her VOICE, what happened to that? Did her marraige play a role in the changing of her voice? Check this out:

  • No She Didn't. It was admission of Blame, Blame, Blame. Some she she admitted to but Whitney needs to Stop it!

  • I watched the interview and no one was trashed. She took responsibility for her actions, she stated she was the one who hit him and the worst thing he ever did was spit on her but she was not innocent, no one made her do drugs it was her choice. I'm confused a little with some of the comments stating she is blaming him for her drug use cause I missed that being said. she had no reason to trash him and she didn't. She didn't say anything to disrespect him in front of her children considering she was in the house when it happened, she is the one who asked her mother about the things she saw about her dad on the internet, she is the one who asked her mother if her dad spit on her. The thing is, neither one of them blamed the other for their use nor did they trash each other they both took responsibiltiy for their own actions. No one was pimped, no one is trying to sell anything, no one is doing that. Its amazing how judgmental people can be, I believe there are 3 sides to every story, his, hers and the truth and unless you were there when it all went down none of can say what's what so stop acting like you know what really happened. The both needed to grow up so hopefully they both have. She moved on and he moved on and considering none of are getting anything from this whole thing why get upset and be nasty.

  • I agree with Bobby.......that both corrupted each other! Now, they realize the mistake they made, they got help for their demons and need to move the hell on. Congrats to both!

  • Wow! I can't believe some of the comments here. Whitney told the hard truth, she accepted responsibility for her actions, she said he was exciting, passionate, kind, people didn't know him, they assumed. But for him to say he started doing drugs because his marriage was failing now there's your lie. He was living life to the fullest before they hooked up with all the extra spins, and twists. She's quite the lady, because she could have placed blame but instead she said we did it together. Unlike him! Move on, she has.....and she didn't do it with a friend of theirs........unlike him.
