According to the Chicago Sun Times, sources say Bobby Brown is not happy with how his former mother-in-law, Cissy Houston, writes about him in his new
memoir, “Remembering Whitney.” In the book, Cissy actually disses Bobby for what she perceived as his lack of concern for Whitney. She writes: “I tried to
tell Nippy that I didn’t think Bobby was good for her.” A close business associate of Bobby says the singer “knows where he stands with Cissy and her
relatively low opinion of him doesn’t come as any surprise, but he doesn’t like the overall tone of the book, which he thinks is Cissy’s way of trying to
assuage her conscience about not doing enough to prevent Whitney’s death.
