Whitney Houston dead at 48 / Bobbi Kristina Brown in a coma at age 21

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't blame Bobby Brown for Whitney's downfall or death - that's ridiculous to me. Whitney Houston came from a solid family, she was gorgeous and talented, and she had her choice of men. She chose Bobby Brown, who was an infamous playboy partier when she met him. Her death is sad. If it was because of drugs and/or alcohol, those were choices she made too. No less sad, but why blame a man with whom she shared her addictions and child rasing, and who she divorced years prior to her death? Women aren't mindless beings controlled by men, at least most aren't. If Bobby Brown died, would we blame Whitney Houston? She admitted that she had her demons and raunchy side before they met, that they had more in common than people assumed because they mistakenly believed that her crafted public image and Whitney IRL were one and the same. Show biz.

RIP Whitney.
