Anyone who blames Bobby for Whitney's "fall" is so clueless...she was not a pristine little choir girl who married the bad boy, no matter what her press agents at the time would have liked everyone to believe.

I'm getting annoyed at all the posts about Bobby ruining her life. A person chooses whether they will use drugs or not. Yes there are outside influences but ultimately the choice is up to you! Stop making excuses for people. Yes she was talented and her songs are pretty damn amazing but no one held a gun to her head to do drugs. Some people are mentioning that she should be a role model for leaving Bobby Brown. Really? I want my children's role models to be crack heads at some point. I would want them to look at this and see that no matter how successful you are, there are evils that THEY CAN CHOOSE that could end their success like this.

Agreed. Honestly Bobby is a person, too. For all his faults he, I'm sure, is mourning her loss. Relationships are not one-sided.

She frequently spoke in interviews about how similar she and Bobby were before they married. The image of choir girl and bad boy was a media creation, although I will say that once you put two people with those kinds of predilections together (along with all that disposable income and hangers on with a vested interest in keeping the party going), it's a recipe for disaster.

Reports are now saying she was found submerged in the bath tub and there were several people in the hotel room while it happened but no one was alarmed that she'd been in there for over an hour. Sad.

WHAAAAAT????? These must be the same idiots who said that Sandra Bullock was "the most admired woman in the entertainment industry" because that trailer trash Jesse James dumped HER.
