Of course Reverend Al Sharpton could not keep everything to himself and sent this tweet this during the Whitney Houston's funerals:
‘I am at Whitney's funeral. I spoke with Bobby Brown trying to calm him down and not distract from the services. Today is about Whitney!’
And apparently about you too Al? Was it necessary?
But this little talk with Bobby Brown was not enough to save the situation, and soon Whitney’s ex was out of the church, and appeared to be upset. TMZ says he was asked to leave after getting into an argument with Houston's family ‘over whether or not he could bring nine people into the church with him’.
He was invited plus two guests, but showed up with a party of nine people. Furthermore, he wanted to sit with his daughter Bobbi Kristina, but the family didn’t approve.
He left after only 15 minutes declaring he refused to create a scene:
‘My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.’
Why did he need an entourage of 9 people to attend his ex-wife funerals? In a logical world, he should have kept a low profile, just grateful to have been invited. Anyway, this saved him from 4 hours of boredom.
