Bobby Brown -- Too Broke to Get Out of Jail?

Bobby BrownTMZ has learned that Bobby Brown is still sitting behind bars at Norfolk County House of Corrections in Massachusetts because, "He can't afford to pay his debt."

In an exclusive conversation with Brown's attorney, Phaedra Parks, TMZ was told that the former New Edition member is scrambling to figure out a way to come up with the $19,100 he owes in back child support payments to Kim Ward, the mother of two of his children.

"Mr. Brown is not financially able to make the payment to court," said Parks, adding that she is currently making her "best effort" to work out some sort of deal with the court.

When asked about the fortune he amassed during his days as a world famous musician, Parks replied, "He was an 80s icon, that was 20 years ago."

46. BOBBY BROWN , WHO? DO YOU MEAN THE OTHER PART OF THE CRACK
DUO OF WHITNEY AND BOBBY?
THEY ARE BROKE BECAUSE THEY SMOKE CRACK FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER. HIS LIPS ARE ASHY FROM SUCKING ON THAT CRACK PIPE.
SHE IS AS SKINNY AS A STRING BEAN. FUNNY HOW SHE HAS BEEN MAKING SPORADIC APPEARANCES FOR CLIVE DAVIS, HERE AND THERE AND YET SHE STILL HAS NOT DONE ANY RECORDING. THE ONLY REASON SHE DID
NOT GET ARRESTED IS BECAUSE SHE WAS INSIDE THE SCHOOL AT THE TIME AND DID NOT OWE CHILD SUPPORT.

47. HELLO People!!!!

1. HOW do you PAY child support in JAIL? Answer, you CAN NOT.

2. How do you make HUGE child support payments with NO JOB? You CAN NOT.

3. Why does the court not ADJUST or temporarily SUSPEND his child support payments? Answer, the U.S. court systems are plain screwed, insane, and contaminated by radical and lesbian feminism.

Bobby needs a JOB, not jail. He needs to have the child support payments adjusted, because he has NO MONEY.

Common sense tells you that you are not squeeze water from a rock. What the hell is wrong with people??????? Put him in jail and he will make child support? The U.S. court system is plain DUMB. Yeah, while bobby is being chased by murderers and rapists in jail, he will magically pull $15,000, $60,000, and more out of his butt. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

Common sense tells you to take a percentage of his income (garnish), based on HOW MUCH HE MAKES and IF/WHEN he has a JOB. He will not get a job in Jail and it will just make it harder.

The U.S. court system is going to hell in a handbasket, full of crazy feminist and dumb people.

49. Fathers are the only people in America that can be jailed for a financial debt (which the founders of our country made illegal). And a Father can be jailed for debt based on a court ruling that is not linked to a crime.

50. I am in the process, right now , of writing a letter to this SCUM OF THE EARTH now that I have an address for him "Norfolk County House of Corrections" to tell him what a piece of crap I think he is for turning Whitney into a drug addict so he could drain her fortune. Then leaving her for someone else once all her money was gone.
He is FILTH and I hope he becomes someone's bitch in there!
Die, Bobby Brown, DIE!~!

52. To #49 "Free Bobby",
Are you for real? Are we supposed to feel sorry for this deadbeat Dad who makes these kids but can't bother to pay to feed them, clothe them or put a roof over their heads? The kids are still alive and need to eat but I guess from your point of view it's the mother's responsibility to make sure THEIR kids don't die of starvation. JEEZ!
Get a Life, you creep! It's people like YOU with your wierd ways of thinking that is ruining this country! PIG!
Maybe druggie loser Bobby Brown can sell his ass in prison to the highest bidder and then send some food money to his kids.

53. I am glad he is in jail. Whitney is better off without him. She better not bail him out (but she probably will!)
