Camelot is no more: Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown to Divorce
Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s marriage is ending:
LOS ANGELES - The tumultuous marriage of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown - which withstood drug addiction, Brown’s numerous arrests, the decline of Houston’s once-sparkling image and domestic abuse allegations - is coming to an end. A publicist for Houston confirmed to The Associated Press that the Grammy-winning, superstar singer had filed for divorce from her husband Bobby Brown, after 14 years of marriage. “I can just confirm that she has filed for divorce,” Seltzer said Wednesday.
The couple separated for a time a few years ago, but their marriage endured, despite rumors and speculation. Their life was put on display last year with Brown’s reality series, “Being Bobby Brown” on Bravo. The show actually made Brown look like a stable influence, while a jittery Houston was on display; the couple often crudely talked about their marriage and love life. But earlier this year, the speculation of a possible split intensified. Brown’s sister made headlines when she alleged in a National Enquirer interview that Houston was addicted to crack. She also supplied photos of what she said was Houston’s bathroom, littered with garbage and evidence of drug use.
Every now and then a relationship comes along that gives you faith. Faith that romance is still something to cherish and uphold. Faith that the institution of marriage is still important and valued in society. Faith that love and understanding will triumph over any obstacle thrown in its path. The storybook romance of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was one such relationship. Really, if they can’t work, who can? When I heard the news that Whitney and Bobby were divorcing, a little piece of me died with it. Damn you Whitney and Bobby. Damn you.
Camelot? Hahahahahahahahaha
