For the second part of his exclusive interview with Matt Lauer of “The Today Show,” Bobby Brown, who was joined by his fiancee and 3 of his children, discussed his daughter Bobbi Kristina, if he worries she is using drugs, and why he left Whitney Houston‘s funeral shortly after arriving.
On if he was invited to Whitney’s funeral
“They definitely wanted me there. It wasn’t that I wasn’t invited. I was invited. Just coming to pay respects to my ex-wife, they would not hold me. That’s not the type of family the houston family is. They’re a great family and I appreciate them very much.”
On why he left the funeral early
“Whoever the security was there asked me to have my entourage which was my children sit somewhere else, we had to sit apart, and I was not willing to sit away from my children. After the third time of them coming to me, I felt a little disrespected by the security that was there I decided it would be best if I just left. I kissed the casket and me and my children left the building.”
On his relationship with Cissy Houston
“I tried to reach out to Whitney’s mom, I haven’t been able to reach her yet. I know she’s going through it deeply. She lost her only daughter. I love her dearly and I’m here any time she wants to talk.”
On how Bobbi Kristina is doing
“She’s a strong girl. Her mom taught her well. She’s fine. She knows that her mom is gone and she knows that she has to live.”
On if he’s concerned that Bobbi Kristina will use drugs
“I will always be concerned about that. Right now, no. I know what she is actually doing. I think people are making assumptions of what my daughter is and how strong she is. People tend to want to control strong willed people. That’s what I see. I am her father, she talks to me about everything.”
