As many people pay respects to Whitney Houston today as she is laid to rest in New Jersey, her ex-husband Bobby Brown has caused a ruckus by walking out of the funeral.  Blamed by many as the reason for Houston’s drug problem, domestic abuse, and destroying any semblance of her elegant image with the short-lived WTF reality show Being Bobby Brown, this still seems like an incredibly terrible move on his part.  Showing up with nine univited guests in tow, there’s been speculation all day as to why he would leave. Brown has now issued an official statement. 

Whitney Houston will be laid to rest today in Newark, New Jersey.  Instead of keeping the sad moment a private affair, the event will be livestreamed starting at noon. Tyler Perry, her co-star in The Bodyguard Kevin Costner, Clive Davis and Dionne Warwick are scheduled to speak with performances by Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.  Watch below.
