Geraldo Rivera talked about the death of Whitney Houston & her ex husband on his Fox News show Sunday night, “I am very harsh on my feelings on (Bobby Brown). I think that he threw (Whitney) off a cliff when they got together. That reality show they had, Being Bobby Brown, indicated how desperately dysfunctional they were.”
Rivera also comments on Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown’s daughter saying, ” She doesn’t need her dad especially if unsupervised he’ll probably give her something to make her feel better so she doesn’t grieve . It’s so awful. I hate to be mean but I really don’t think very much of him at all. Bobby Brown was a member of New Edition and hasn’t done anything Since but live off Whitney Houston ‘s millions.”

Brown released a statement to Extra regarding the situation. “Today my daughter did visit with doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She has been released and is presently with my family, including her siblings,” he said.”Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her, however, we will get through this tragedy as a family. Again, I ask for privacy during this time.”

TMZ released this photo of Bobby Brown at the airport in Nashville a few minutes ago. He is boarding a plane to LA after canceling show in Nashville tonight. It’s terribly sad that Brown traveled 3 additional hours away from his daughter from Memphis to Nashville. He should have canceled his show and left Memphis immediately to be with his daughter Bobbi instead of considering performing in Nashville. Tonight. It took all day to finally decide after 5 pm to cancel. Bobbi Kristina needs our prayers more than ever.
It won’t be long now Brown will be shopping book deals & paid interviews. Father of the year – yeah right!

“Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, “Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.”

Aretha Franklin, Houston’s godmother, says, “I just can’t talk about it now. It’s so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen. My heart goes out to Cissy, her daughter Bobbi Kris, her family and Bobby.”

“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Whitney. This is an unimaginable tragedy and we will miss her terribly. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support from her fans and friends.”
