Bobby showed up with an entourage of nine. According to reports, when the singer tried to seat all of them in a section reserved for Whitney's family, he was confronted and asked that his entourage should leave but he could stay.

However, Bobby left but was approached outside the church by Rev. Sharpton who later tweeted. “I spoke with Bobby Brown trying to calm him down and not distract from the services. Today is about Whitney!”


Brown explained his early exit in a statement released by a representative.

“My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions,” Brown said in the statement, adding security did not ask anyone else to move.

“Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events.

“This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

Houston’s friend and lawyer Bryan Blaney told Radar Online, “I saw Bobby leave, and I didn’t know what was going on at the time. All I knew is that one moment he was there, and the next minute he was leaving with a lot of people.”
