Being Bobby Brown:

Review: 'Brown' most disgusting ever
Show hits new lows for reality TV -- or TV in general

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- There's no point
beating around the bush.

"Being Bobby Brown," the reality show spotlighting the R&B singer
whose rap sheet might be longer than his catalog, is undoubtedly the most disgusting and execrable series ever to ooze its way onto television. And when you consider the competition from the celebrity reality genre alone, that's says something.

What gives "Bobby" that dismal distinction? Is it the lionizing of a
lowlife convicted of failing to pay child support for his
out-of-wedlock kids, drunk driving and a cocaine-related parole
violation? (And let's not forget his spousal "slap-boxing" arrest.)

Is it his insufferable ego (he calls his son, Bobby Jr., "special to
me because he carries my name")?

Is it his constant crude comments (he tells wife Whitney Houston to "bring that a** in quick. I'm going to show you what I'm going to do with it")?

Or is it just his disgusting persona as, in the second episode, he speaks of removing excrement from his wife's derriere? (No, I'm not going to quote him.)

It's all that, and then some. If the eight-part series was intended to improve Brown's image, it fails miserably.

Not only does it reveal Brown to be even more vulgar than the tabloids suggest, but it manages at the same time to rob Houston of any last shreds of dignity. She alternately shies from the camera and performs for them. At one point, she asks the offscreen crew of this so-called reality show, "What are we supposed to be doing here?"

It's also a question for anyone who tunes in.

I think he needs to watch again...seeing as how he missed Whitney dancing into the bedroom and singing to her daughter "daddy's gonna make a baby". They kill me trying to act like Whitney is not as ghetto as her husband. No matter what...she was a crack head when they met which is why they are still together. There have been how many marriages and divorces in hollywood since they have been together? We all want to believe that Whitney was tainted by this "bad boy" but the truth is...she is just as bad. Birds of a feather flock together!

You've got that right. Water finds its own level. Whit, despite Clive Davis' image polishing, is rather hoodyrat, so she and Booby seem to be made for each other.

Amen Sista!!! She is straight up hood. The funny thing is that she keeps saying it in different ways...but they just don't want to see it. I guess it's a black thing and they don't understand. We can make people believe what we want them to believe because we have a natural talent for acting and putting on fronts...ya know?

I know her (Whit's) father is rolling over in his grave. I know Cissy is in hiding. LOL, yet

I just watched two epsiodes of it about an hour ago for the first time....

Has anyone peeped the opening credits of the show? They show a pic of Whitney when she was pretty...but look at her. She is a hot mess. "COCAINE'S A HELLUVA DRUG"

Exactly.

About 17 years ago, a friend of mine claimed to be related to Whitney and told me that Whitney was on drugs. I was shocked and appalled b/c Whitney was so beautiful and talented...always my favorite singer. My mom and I thought it couldn't be true. It most certainly was true.

Me and my hubby were going to a wedding in NJ a few years back. The shuttle driver was a retired cop who company used to provide limo service to them. He said Whitney was crazy and had diva moments all the time, Bobby was never home and Bobbi Christina was very spoiled. She got mad at the driver because he refused to drive until she put Bobbi K in her car seat. That is law in NJ. So she cussed him out to high heaven and threatened to call his boss. He said he dialed the # and handed her the phone. His boss had to tell her that was the law and he (the driver) was correct in not driving her anywhere. She was pissed but she did it.
It was interesting to hear his stories of them and he had a couple!

Whit's brother was a druggie also (back in the day).
