Why did Bobby Brown leave Whitney Houston’s funeral and did Bobbi Kristina know, that is what the world is asking.
Yesterday, as millions shed tears watching the televised stream of Whitney Houston’s funeral, social networks and news outlets lit up with reports that Whitney’s ex-husband Bobby Brown had left the funeral within minutes of it starting.

Multiple sources reported that Bobby’s departure was due to his inability to be seated next to the only daughter he shared with Whitney, Bobbi Kristina.

The service has long since ended and Bobby has issued his statement about the incident at the funeral (saying that he was asked to relocate his seating on multiple occasions) but it seems as if Bobbi Kristina and Whitney’s mother Cissy never caught wind of the situation during the service.
According to Radar Online:
Bobbi Kristina Brown sat in the front pew for her mother Whitney Houston‘s funeral, and fortunately wasn’t aware of the controversy involving where her father Bobby Brown and his entourage would be seated.
The teenager, who was twice hospitalized in the 24 hours following her mother’s sudden death February 11, was comforted by her grandmother during the service.
In an interview with CNN, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was on stage throughout the service, revealed that neither Bobbi Kristina or Cissy Houston saw the unfortunate incident going on two rows behind them.
Jackson didn’t defend Brown arriving with an entourage of nine people but did say he thought Brown’s own seating “could have been handled better.”
Even though Bobby claims it was not his intent to cause controversy on Whitney’s day, his sudden departure from the New Hope Baptist Church where the service was held caused more headlines than the actual service.
We hope that both Bobbi Kristina and Bobby can find the solace that they need during this very emotional time.
