Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston’s relationship was tumultuous, to say the least. Brown is now speaking out about his 2003 arrest for battery, following an alleged physical altercation with Houston. According to CNN, responding officers noticed injuries to Houston’s face, prompting a warrant for Brown’s arrest. At the time, Brown’s team released a statement emphasizing the entertainer’s regret for his involvement in the incident, reading, “Bobby Brown is very apologetic about what happened and hopes his wife forgives him.”
Now, nearly two decades later, Brown is doubling down on his apology to the late singer. During part two of the A&E docuseries, “Biography: Bobby Brown,” the New Edition frontman said that the alleged altercation happened accidentally. The “My Prerogative” singer explained that he was instead fighting Houston’s drug dealer, in an attempt to stop Houston from purchasing narcotics. “I was on the wagon and not wanting to get high anymore and my way of keeping her from getting high was whooping his ass and making sure he didn’t come back to my house again,” Bobby claimed, per Hollywood Life. “Whitney got in the way. My hand went back, smacked her.”
