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!

31. The courts shouldnt change the custody papers. I cant stand people like that. He was given an opportunity to go before a judge to sort out the custody issues. Now that he is ready the courts are supposed to take up valuable time to hear his case.
Give me a break! If your daughter meant anything to you, you would have found a way to make it to the first hearing.

You lost your turn.

33. Whitney Houston's downfall was Bobby Brown. He used her every which way. Took her money...got her involved with drugs...made her into nothing. I hope Whitney is changing her life for the better and that she thanks God for her recovery.

34. These two losers deserve each other, and custody should go to someone else.

36. Well, if he doesn't get custody, she can't pay him child support. I think the most he'll get is spousal support, if that. I heard a rumor that he might be ready to get married again to his girlfriend, but now that he has the chance to get Whitney's money, I bet he decides not to. It's sick. If it wasn't for the fact that Whitney had money, he wouldn't bother to try to get custody. What about his other kids? I wonder how this makes them feel that he wants to have custody of Bobbi Kristina, when he can't even support THEM?

39. Don't pay any attention to EL. He's probably really some pasty white computer nerd that has nothing better to do with his time than to start crap on the Internet.

40. #45 Lets keep race comments out of it. Everyone, I don't care who or what you are has to take responsibility for your own happiness and life.

41. Neither of them are fit to raise a child. If you saw the child on that reality show, she is nothing but a spoiled, disrespectful little brat. Both parents are drug addicts and losers. They both make my skin crawl.

42. To # 29 - I understand totally what you are saying and its true. The only problem with that scenario is Whitney is broke as well. Probably not as broke as her ex, but that crack head doesnt have any money. She owns none of the songs she used to sing, she didn't write or co-write any songs so receives no residuals. She no longer sells millions of albums. She spent all her money on drugs! Sad, but true!

43. You all need to mind your business. If the F'd up court system didn't set such an enormous amount of child support I'm sure he would have been able to pay and handle his business. What job do you think Bobby Brown has. He's had issues and fallen on hard times like many other stars. Maybe if he was Robert Downey Jr. he'd have better luck. Maybe if he was Paris Hilton, he'd have better luck. Maybe if he was anything other than black, he'd have better luck. Last but not least, homelessness and hard times do not discriminate. You know nothing about what Bobby Brown has gone through. All you know is what the media reported. The same media that made you vote bush into office.

45. #48...You are right, but Whitney has the potentional of making millions again. And knowing Clive Davis he will make it happen again. She probably has the best voice in R & B and she will make a come back and Bobby knows that. He knows that her chances are MUCH MUCH greater then his. He is looking at the future. And the future is definetly with Whitney and not him. He knows he can't stay clean and sober, he knows that she has more will power then him.
