    Bobby Brown has sent his "love and blessings" to the grieving family of Whitney Houston's late mother

    The singer, 55, had a famously rough relationship with his ex-wife Whitney's mum Cissy - who died on Monday (07.10.24) aged 91 after getting hospice care amid her Alzheimer's battle


    Bobby, who was accused of verbally and physically abusing Whitney during their stormy 14-year marriage, released a joint statement with his wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown about Cissy's death, saying: "Sending love and blessings to the Houston family on this great loss.

    "May she rest in Peace and Power. The Browns."

    Bobby and Whitney first met in 1989 before they married in July 1992, and the couple had daughter Bobbi Kristina.

    She died from lobar pneumonia aged 22 in 2015 after she was found unconscious in a bathtub in her home after ingesting numerous drugs and alcohol - similar to the fate of her mother, who accidentally drowned in a hotel bathtub aged 48 in 2012 after years of drug abuse.

    Bobbi was in a coma for nearly six months before she passed away.

    Her father Bobby was arrested for charges related to drunk driving and possession during his marriage to Whitney - while the singer sought treatment in rehab several times while they were together, before they divorced in 2007.

    A toxicology report on Whitney found both prescription medications and cocaine in her system.

    Cissy remained fiercely protective of Whitney through her marital and drugs strife and repeatedly tried to save her from drug addiction.
