Bobby Brown Sues Whitney

Don't be cruel! Bobby Brown filed a lawsuit against ex-wife Whitney Houston to change the terms of custody of their teen daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

In court documents filed in Orange County yesterday, Brown explains that he was just too screwed up after the breakup to properly handle a custody battle. "After Whitney and I separated, I had nowhere to go and very little money to live on. I was, for all intents and purposes, homeless." That's why he failed to respond to Whitney's petition for custody in time, and why she was ultimately deemed the primary parent.

In Brown's court filings yesterday, he begged the courts to reconsider, saying that, "I believe I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter Bobbi Kris -- a relationship that I would like to see strengthen and grow." That's his prerogative!

1. Yes, and the way he supports his other children are a fine example of his parenting. His daughter is old enough to determine if she wants a relationship with him. Leave her with her mother. (and before all of the father's rights bash me I believe in father's rights, just not this father. When my parents divorced I chose to live with my father, and never regretted it.)

2. I also chose to live with my father in my parents' divorce. I was a little older than Bobbi Kristina at the time, and I think I made the best choice for myself. If my father had been anything like Bobby Brown, the choice would have been obvious. He can't support his other kids, so what's the difference between them and Bobbi Kristina? Come on, it's obvious this is just a publicitiy stint and a last-ditch effort to get the last of Whitney's money. He needs to grow up.

3. Given both of their drug use and abuse histories and their volatile personalities - she's likely better off in state care.

4. They are both pathetic. They have already destroyed each other now they want to involve their innocent daughter in their crazy problems. PATHETIC!!!!

5. Why can't he just have a close relationship with her, father her, and leave it at that? He has not proven to be a responsible parent in the past. Why was a grown man without a home or money without his wife? Doesn't he work? Doesn't he have any family or friends? Too much of his money has gone to drugs and bailing him out of jail in the past...he needs to prove he is now responsible enough for custody.

6. So his excuse is he is a homeless broke crackhead? BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah he deserves his daughter. He cant take care of himself let alone his daughter. I bet he wants custody for the child support.

7. Another example of a wonderful family raised on drugs. Great job guys - way to throw your lives down the toilet! Woo-hoo!

8. He wants partial custody so he can have money from Whitnety because the child would need the live with her creature comforts she has gotten used to. A nice home in a nice neighborhood it is all a way to get $$$'s

9. Losers, both of them. Their daughter should be with
Whitney's mother or Dionne Warwick instead of those coke heads.

10. I don't see Whitney as doing this to use her daughter at all. She's the one who wanted to child support or spousal support. She's the one that took her daughter out of there when she put herself into rehab. She made a mother's decision, and I think it was best to take her out of there when she did, because who knows what could have happened? Whitney's made her share of mistakes, I'm sure, but at least she got help for her problems!

11. Bobby Brown makes me sick. I agree with Janice. Bobby Brown is a grown non-disabled man. There is no excuse for him being out of job or being homeless. He had a great career going at one time, but he loved drugs more. Whitney is not much better. I hope she is on her way to recovery. It's a shame someone with her talent just went and wasted her life like this.

13. OPS, you've got to be kidding. It seems to me that Whitney's drug abuse started after she got with Bobby. He's been a leech to her for years. She didn't make him marry her, and she was in love with him at the time. People get married for worse reasons than that. Yeah, she should have left him a long time ago, but I know people who were married for twenty years and miserable, and they finally took the plunge and got divorced. It's not too late for Whitney. At least she got help for her problems, and she wanted nothing from him. He's just an old dog. He can't learn anything new, so he's gonna keep taking money from her, even though they're not married anymore. Bobbi is better off with her mother, who at least is trying to put her life back together. That's a lot more than I can say for Bobby Brown, who can't even take care of the kids he's got, let alone himself.

15. Neither is fit to raise any child....Money does not make good parenting. Cissy Houston should have been given custody.
