A few years ago, Bobby Brown was trying to push a tell-all book about his marriage to Whitney Houston. But as a major book publisher tells Naughty But Nice Rob (yeah, that’s the name he goes by), “Back in 2008, the interest in a book on Whitney Houston wasn’t that great.” This source added, “Whitney had fallen off the radar back then … but now, following her tragic death, the market has changed. Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney.”

Problem is Bobby signed a confidentiality agreement before his divorce was finalized. And yeah, a book would likely piss off his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. Phaedra Parks tells Rob, “Bobby loves all his children. He would do anything to protect all his children.”

Not so says a friend of Whitney’s.

“This is a man who left his ex-wife’s funeral because he didn’t like his seats and went to a paying gig that night,” the friend argues. “He didn’t get on stage that night because he needed to sing his greatest hits or because Whitney would have wanted him to entertain his fans, he did it to get a paycheck — the same reason he now wants to write a tell-all book.”

Ouch.

I hope this isn’t true. Not because the book wouldn’t do well. It would. However, for someone who seemingly doesn’t want to be seen as the source of all of Whitney’s past troubles, writing a tell-all might not be the best way to argue that point. Plus, I imagine the Houston family would issue the legal clap back if he broke his agreement.
