Bobby Brown: Why I Left Whitney Houston's Funeral
Originally posted 02/18/2012 04:50PM
As fans, friends and family members honored the late Whitney Houston Saturday, rumors swirled about the man who wasn't in attendance at the singer's funeral: her ex-husband, Bobby Brown.
But buzz that he was turned away from Newark, N.J.'s New Hope Baptist Church isn't true, Brown tells PEOPLE in a statement, and his absence was the result of a mix-up with security.
"My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston," Brown, 43, says. "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 to move."
