i agree, cosmo.
When Whitney found Bobby Brown, she found the proverbial "Bad Boy" who seemed "real & genuine" to her. but who would ultimately enable her to seriously damage her reputation and endanger her life.
he didn't hold a gun to Whitney's head and force her to do anything. she's a grown woman who has always made her own decisions. BUT, he certainly hasn't done anything to help her either. in fact, all he's done is try to exploit her problems for his own benefit. What truly loving and caring husband would film a reality show of his life during the time when his own wife is at her utter lowest point?? It's despicable, and whether or not he's the cause of all her problems, she's sure as Hell better off without him.
Whitney's not one to count out. there ain't no fat lady singing the Whitney Houston song -- not yet. she grew up surrounded by strong women who had to really work hard for their success, like Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Patti Labelle, Natalie Cole and even her own mother, Cissy Houston. None of these women have had particularly easy lives and yet they survive. by the time that Whitney was to become a popstar (and really the first internationally successful black female to do so), the game had changed so much. the world had become smaller, and the pressures and fortunes much much larger. by the time she was 25 years old, she was worth well over $100 million. i guess the pressures just caught up to her and we've all watched as the seemingly perfect pop-princess fell VERY hard from her pedestal.
but, if there's one thing the public loves more than tearing a star down, it's seeing them rise up again. we love to see strong, independent women rise from the ashes of an abusive or stifling marriage and stagnant career. there have been many "comebacks" and i truly believe that Whitney's has the potential to outshine them all ---- now that she's tossed the garbage to the curb.
she seems like such a beautiful woman i hope her and daughter are happy and settled and good luck for them for their future together
