Bobby Brown Leaves Whitney Houston Funeral Early, Releases Statement
by Hilton Hater at .After days spent arguing with Whitney Houston's family over whether or not he'd attend his ex-wife funeral, multiple sources confirm that Bobby Brown continued arguing with his former in-laws today.
And actually left the memorial after just 20 minutes as a result.
Both E! News and TMZ report that Brown brought an entourage of nine people in to the Newark church. It's unclear exactly what happened from there, but the singer was spotted exiting the house of worship shortly after the service began.
"I am at Whitney's funeral. I spoke with Bobby Brown trying to calm him down and not distract from the services. Today is about Whitney!" Al Sharpton Tweeted, while Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson says a "seating arrangement" dispute was at play.
Brown also has a concert gig tonight in Connecticut with New Edition, but it's believed this disagreement with Whitney's family is the reason why he left the premises so quickly.
UPDATE: Brown has released the following statement:
“My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina.
"In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

With all do respect for all who made comments, I only have this to say; Whitney gave us what we paid for, entertainment an in some cases, joy through her music. What went on in her personal life, was not our business , some of us tried to make it our business. As for Bobby Brown, if his heart wasn't in the right place for reasons other than, saying his last good-bye to Whitney , then that's on him. We couldn't be anymore better than the Houston / Brown crew if we are sitting back here debating on who was right or wrong, it's amazing how furneral's can bring out the worst in people. Be happy that Whitney is not suffering anymore an pray for Bobbi , that whatever she is or has been doing with her life, that she turn it all over to God an go on with her life. I don't want to waste time going back an forth with the, who done it game, Whitney is home now, let her rest. God bless you all. Do as I did, go out an get her old music an remember her go the
God plainly says in the Bible that those who judge, He will judge also. Hope everyone heals and puts all the riff-raff aside. Bobbi Kristina is just another girl who lost her Mom, but in this case she was a beautiful public celebrity. Bobbi Kristina will need all their support. Bobby Brown is a human being with red blood flowing through his veins just like the rest of us, and that means he is a child of the Most High God, too, so all of you with venominous remarks, leave him alone.
