Name: KayaNow
Comment: This is good news. I cannot wait to hear new music from Whitney. Gotta admit though--watching that Being Bobby Brown clip brought me back. As sick as it was, I was addicted to that show.

Name: sultry
Comment: I am not going to say that this is good because a divorce is bad for anyone especially when there are childrens involved. I do not think it was the marriage, whitney has a drug problem. I am happy that she has taken the necessay steps to seek some help for her addiction. I cannot wait to see her get back to singing , she is what has been missing for the whole music industry. She has a golden voice and she will skyrocket back just watch and see. So get ready all you other female singers who think that you can sing , Whitney will show you all how it is done and this will be some kind od comeback.

Name: KayaNow
Comment: Precisely. I think given her drug history, long term rehab is indeed a good thing. Also, sometimes divorce is a more favorable alternative to a negative situation.

Name: sultry
Comment: KayaNow-You know they are saying that she has filed for a legal separation but then the word divorce come out in the next sentence and they say she will file for a divorce next month or so. I just wonder has she really filed for a divorce or is it indeed just a legal separation. I just wish her well and hope she has a very successful recovery.

Name: MrsPhoenix
Comment: I agree with sultry.

Name: nycGYRL888
Comment: Legally you have to file for seperation in most states and the seperation has to be for 6mos - year. Divorce is bad under most circumstances...but regarding this situation...saying its necessary is an understatement! I wish them all well and can't wait for the Whitney comback! Been praying for this for a long time.

Name: JBONEZ
Comment: WHITNEY...........Get strong......Pray and understand that you are human.....use your life as a testiment.

Name: nightshift
Comment: 1)I'm so glad for her and anyone who makes that critical decision to clean up their act. That's a good picture, looks like a good nip/tuck job...No matter she'll always be a beauty to me....Good luck Nippy!! 2)If she's been in rehab since April, how was she able to meet with Clive and make appearances folks are talking about?

Name: McNasty
Comment: This was best for both of them cause two toxic people shouldn't be together. It harms the child more trying to keep a marriage like this together than just admitting it's not working and parting amicably. Get healthy and come on back Whitney!

Name: nightshift
Comment: Sultry, to file for divorce in Cali you have to be there for 6mos. That's why she has to file legal separation first to show intent, at 6mos, she can do her thing!!

Name: CJazz
Comment: Nightshift--she was probably able to do a "night out." Sometimes, depending on your "program" if you're doing good, you do get a privilege to go out in public. Just think about it--if she's been in rehab all this time, and has not been out--it was time for her to face the public--as part of her recovery program. I agree with everyone on the board--WORLD--watch out, because Whitney is about to make a serious comeback--God BLESS you Whitney and best wishes to you and your family--and Bobby too! 8-)

Name: Victornator
Comment: For the Christians out there, was it "prayer" that forced Whitney into rehab this last time or was it Bobby's sister putting Whitney on blast in the Enquirer? Call her a snake or whatever, but her "wakeup" pictures seem to have done some good.

Name: Victornator
Comment: I only saw one episode of "Being Bobby Brown", but EVERYONE I know who was addicted to the show says it was Whitney who is the nut-case.

Name: Platinum
Comment: Vic… it may have been a little bit of both, it doesn’t matter how she got there(rehab)whats more important she arrived.

Name: yunvme
Comment: Good for Whitney. Aside from her health, I hope she can recover some of that golden voice. Her voice for the last 5 years has been totally shot.

Name: MDhornet
Comment: That was actually one of my favorite moments on the show. Just fun and free.

Name: MrUnapologetic37
Comment: No matter how you choose to slice this tidbit of information it's GOOD NEWS all day long. I'm happy to hear that Whitney is working to get her demons under control and with much prayer and hardworked "nothing is impossible" thru Christ. I believe that! Please keep her in your prayers - those who truly love her. I also challenge this board to pray for Bobby Brown and Karrine as because they're not so far gone that they can't be helped and recover as well. Take care, All!

Name: Mimi
Comment: I have that same clip and I watch it over and over again. Divorce is usually painful, edpecially when a child is involved, but hopefully, all involved will remain mature to make it as smooth as possible under the circumstances.

Name: ss69054
Comment: I am glad to hear about Whitney. I am praying that she does make it through the program and be delivered from drugs for the sake of herself and her child. Prayer "IS" Powerful. No matter what some of you non-believers say on this board. Along with prayer, action must be taken in consideration. Drugs is a hard thing to overcome and until one of you have stepped in this woman's shoes, no one can judge b/c you never know how life can be fore you. You view her as a crazed nutcase b/c you are on the other side of the grass and never hit rock bottom or been in that situation. Although divorce is a bad thing especially when children are involved, in this case this is what is needed for her to move on. Just b/c a couple is married doesn't mean their marriage is annointed. Some folks married the wrong folks in life and that is why the divorce rate is high as it is. I am not faulting Bobby either but she needs a whole new fresh start. Bobby needs to get his act together and get cleaned himself but if one doesn't want help for himself then you can't help him.

Comment: My girl Whitney is coming back! I wish her the best and I hope the home wrecker gets what she deserves.

Name: ss69054
Comment: I can't blame Corrine for what has taken place. This marriage was over a long time ago. Corrine is just in it more so for publicity and to get a reality show with her sick self.

Name: Victornator
Comment: Not trying to jack this post, but what's up with the Duke rape case?

Name: gingerg
Comment: Kudos to Whitney. This is the longest she's stayed in any program. Hopefully, she's decided that a healthy life is better than being spaced out on drugs all the time. It is also less expensive. Victornator: Nothing is going on with the Duke rape case. The accuser and her partner lack credibility and they are going to let this thing die a slow death.

Name: JaysGame
Comment: Lets get this right, Bobby had and has still a drug problem far before Whitney had one and I'm sure Bobby introduced Whitney to drugs. I just wanna see how he's going to pay child support, and how long he's doing time for it.

Name: ss69054
Comment: JaysGame> I believe Whitney had a drug problem before Bobby came along and it just escalated to another level because she had a partner. Bobby next step will be jail b/c he will have no money to pay for child support and his family will go broke b/c they can't live off of Whitney any longer and that is a hopeful statement if she doesn't give in.

Name: ss69054
Comment: Victornator> It is a wrap with at Duke case. They don't have any real proof. Unfortunately, I think the sista was lying about the whole ordeal. Maybe she went to far and they didn't want to pay up. This wasn't the first time she reported alledge rape and lied.

Name: RyTay27
Comment: I honestly think Whit was getting down long b4 BB came into her life. I also think that he was behind the sister coming out w/ the info regarding Whits abuse, if they have been separated for so long, he seems like the type to want to put her bitness in the street since they are no longer together.

Name: whynotme
Comment: i hope when people say they were praying for "this" they mean whitney getting herself together because i refuse to believe God would listen to anybody's prayer that is asking for whitney to get a divorce since God doesn't like divorce.

Name: gingerg
Comment: So true. The Duke rape "victim" had such a nasty and vile reputation. Plus, she couldn't keep her lies straight. On the other hand, we all know the history of black women in this country from slavery to modern day. There was a time when we didn't have any rights that anyone was bound to respect and our men (God bless them) could not protect us. While I believe that Duke accuser was lying, that is not an indictment of all black women. I just wonder if things would have turned out differently if she had been a black female professional with a husband and 2.5 kids. Then again, she wouldn't have been in that setting, you know what I mean.

Name: gingerg
Comment: WhyNotMe: God may not like divorce, but the bible says that God came that we would have life and have it more abudantly. He does not intend for us to suffer all the way through, though there will be good time and bad times. I know too many sisters (including my own) who go through hell and struggle everyday because they made a lifelong committment to someone that they shouldn't have either out of societal pressure, ignorance or desperation.

Name: ss69054
Comment: gingerg> You are so true. That is what is wrong with many black women today. They have the wrong perception of what GOD says and many of them are going through hell and hot water and it shows from their bitterness towards life.

Name: thinker
Comment: My prayers have been answered. I have no comment about her marriage. No one should. That's between Whitney, Bobby and God. But as far as her physical condition is concerned, I say, "Thank you God for answering my prayers." Looking a her on TV when she was so thin and sickly then thinking back to when she did Cinderella just broke my heart. NOW I pray that she will STAY okay.

Name: ladybyrd
Comment: I'm ssssssoooooo happy Whit is getting some assistance.

Name: kady
Comment: Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Name: Priceless
Comment: I thought Superhead could add better than that *snicker* If Whitney has been away from Bobby since April I am not surprised he totally took up with someone else, anyone else *shrugging shoulders*

Name: Michele
Comment: I'm waiting and hoping for Whitney to have an Eddie Kane moment on the next BET Gospel special - have CeCe out there performing and then hear Whitney's awesome voice come in from off stage, and then here she comes..... I miss that voice of hers. If there was anyone who knew how to blow a song away without all of the gratuitous screaming, it was Whitney.

Name: ladybyrd
Comment: I'm not sure why people are saying that Brown did NOT have a problem before Whitney. Are you nuts!!! Did you see behind the music for New Edition?? Brown's behavior was so erratic, that it could only be explained by drugs & alcohol. Brown was living a crazy life before he turned 18 years old, and that came from his mouth. And he didn't come in contact with Whitney then. Brown's fans are as delusional as he is.

Name: yunvme
Comment: Drug problems and possible deliverance aside. How can people actually still like this chick? She is/was a total b1tch to her fans. Not cool in my book.

Name: ss69054
Comment: ladybyrd> Nobody said that he wasn't on drugs. I've stated that both Whitney and Bobby's drug problem have escalated due to both of them having the substance abuse problem before hooking up. That is just an opinion and not a fact. I am unsure of how they got all wild off into the scene.

Name: whynotme
Comment: --->gingerg i have enough sense to know that if you are in a life threatening situation then by all means God would want you to separate from it but people wanted whitney to divorce bobby just because they don't feel he's right for her....bobby was not abusing whitney she was abusing herself by using drugs but if the situation was not right for her to get herself togther then she should separate herself from bobby to get herself together.....whitney married bobby and even if it wasn't annointed to begin with it doesn't mean that they can't make it an annointed union by working out the demons that are attacking them and their marriage and make it work but if they feel it's in their best interest to separate then that's fine too.....my prayers go out to not just whitney but bobby too because i'm sure being married to whitney was no walk in the park either....they both need help and i pray to God that they get it.

Name: whynotme
Comment: --->ladybyrd i think you have that twisted, people say that whitney didn't have a drug problem until she met bobby but that is a lie as well. they both were drug abusers and got together to escalate their drug problem and act like 2 damn fools.

Name: ss69054
Comment: yunvme> I like Whitney's music. I don't know her personally and never met her so I don't know what she is like. I heard good and bad stories about her but she is human just like the rest of us. Imagine being stalked by paparazzis, media and crazy fans. Sometimes I can understand why these celebs flip the script. They have no privacy.

Name: sybo32
Comment: kady: THANK YOU!! 'NUFF SAID!!

Name: gingerg
Comment: I say enough is enough. Sixteen years of trying to work out demons is too much. I know they said "til death do us part," but that does not mean allowing your spirit or body to die in the process just to be able to say that you are married. I know plenty of women who would be much better off spiritually, emotionally, financially, socially, etc. if they had never met their husbands. I also know those who have found true soul mates.

Name: mayday
Comment: What a beautiful pic of Whitney......I cannot wait for her come back, I love her music and wish her the best.

Name: libby
Comment: **Victornator** God says he works ALL things together for good for those who love him and are called according to His purpose. All things meaning the good and the bad. He also says what the devil intended for harm, He intends for good, to accomplish what is now being done. You can not give man credit for God's work. I know Whitney had people praying for her and I don't think it matters how God answers prayers or keeps His promises as long as He answers prayers and keeps His promises. Bobby's sister was not trying to help Whitney. That is obvious. But only God knows how to handle Satan and make his wickedness work to achieve God's purposes.

Name: realuvbaby
Comment: For her and her family, I hope now is the time to say good by to the drugs and the other co-dependency. Waiting for her some new music, I would love to hear her old music on the radio -- sorta like an appetizer for the entree. Wouldn't it be amazing if she made it to the BET Awards this year? Or did I already miss those?

Name: cornbread
Comment: It's always two sides to every story. Bobby and Whitney both had their faults and neither are innocent. Hopefully both are getting their sh-t together. Karrine the superhead lady is nothing but a no good jezebel nasty slutbag. I'm surprised that b-tch don't have aids.

Name: bigheadbull2
Comment: Amen ...Michele

Name: Deb70
Comment: Since when have they been married 16 years? I thought they got married in 1992/93?

Name: gingerg
Comment: Cornbread - She has to have something that is incurable considering all the men that she has been with and all of the men/women that they have been with. I don't know how she can ever feel clean again no matter how much she washes. What a filthy hag.

Name: indipindintthnkr
Comment: @ yunvme>>>> U jarred my memory; how quickly we forget.

Name: ladybyrd
Comment: I love Whit's music. I'm not sure how she treated her fans. As far as I have read, She gave them their monies worth when they came to see her in concert.

Name: gingerg
Comment: I've heard that she's polite when she's "on" but sometimes doesn't want to be bothered. How would you feel if someone approached you while you were having dinner and asked for an autograph? Common courtesy works both ways.

Name: fuzzygoss
Comment: All of a sudden phonies that bashed Nippy and called her all kinds of crackheads under the sun, are happy for her. She doesn't need your false show of support. Nippy is gonna be alright. She's in good hands, and He ain't fickle like the heathens on earth! Praise the Lord Whitney Elizabeth Houston. Praise the Good Lord!
