(Jun. 9, 2004) *In the July issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, Jamie Foster
Brown chats with a couple who've been dealing with challenging times lately,
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. In the magazine article Brown talks about a
number of issues.
Bobby on having
mood and learning disorders all his life:
"When I was younger, I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, so I
know that
bipolar and ADD is basically the same thing."
"When I checked into Betty Ford I was wondering what was wrong with me. I was
trying to figure out why was I going through these different changes. I mean, I
could be happy one moment and then the next minute I'm like angry. Totally. Full
of fire and rage. And I didn't know what was wrong. I went to the doctor and
they talked to me and they did all these tests on my brain and on my mental
stability and they came up with the diagnosis that I'm bipolar."
Whitney & Bobby on Dateline:
Bobby: "Well, they chopped up that interview"
Whitney: "They chopped it up really badly."
Bobby: "So bad. I was hurt by that interview."
Whitney: "I told you."
Bobby: "They used this. I said this, "It's NOT like I used to get high like
this (hitting his fist in his hand repeatedly to signify "constantly"...
Jamie: "...meaning all the time"
Bobby:" Get high, get high, get high, get high. It wasn't like I got high
like that. And they just chopped the first part off and said, 'I get high, get
high, get high, get high.' So for me that's like a slap in the face. And you're
doing this for my mother? A week before Mother's Day? My mother saw it. I still
haven't talked to her about it. But I know how my mother is. She knew that I was
just doing it for her."
Jamie: "Did Whitney want you to do Dateline or did she say no?"
Bobby: "It really wasn't up to anybody else."
Also, in the magazine ... the couple admits that they are currently in
marriage counseling and claim that it is going well. They began the sessions
briefly after Whitney's frantic December 9-11 call.
Why did she call? Unfortunately, we don't know. We, like you, will have to
pick up the July edition of Sister 2 Sister to find out! It hits stands on June
15.
