A few more details have been released regarding Whitney Houston’s funeral on Saturday, and one is especially troubling for Bobby Brown.
First, though, we can confirm that gospel singer Marvin Winans – who officiated the 1992 wedding of Houston and Brown – will eulogize the legend at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, while New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says government building flags will fly at half-staff that day.
But will Brown even be in attendance at the memorial?
Insiders tell TMZ that certain members of Whitney’s family do not want her ex-husband there, presumably due to his negative influence on Houston when they were married and the belief that he introduced her to a world of narcotics.
Bobby, of course, wants to pay his respects to Whitney and also wants to be there for daughter Bobbi Kristina, who is struggling mightily – she’s been hospitalized twice for anxiety – with her mother’s passing.
