Singer Bobby Brown made a brief and dramatic appearance at ex-wife Whitney Houston's memorial service on Saturday, leaving abruptly after being told that his entourage couldn't sit together, police sources told CNN.
He arrived with several people and was apparently emotionally distraught, with red eyes and head hanging as he walked up the aisle of the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. He approached Houston's casket, passed it and went back down the aisle.
On CNN's live video feed, Brown was shown standing out front of the church soon after the service began. He was not seated with family, friends or other celebrities at the front of the church.
"My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston," Brown later said in a statement. "We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions.

When the planes flew into the twin towers, I was taking a nap, my son called and woke me up to say we were at war with someone.....
I just got up from a nap a 1/2 hour ago to see what was going on on Free Republic....You guys keep reminding me I need to take a nap.....GG
I’ve been pretty cynical about all of this.....but I must admit....watching Kevin Costner’s touching tribute at her funeral even got my eyes blurry.
“huummmmm....... I hope you are making a joke because I have already forgotten where I was when I heard the news about Whitney’s death.”
Exactly...Me to...I don’t remember where, or how, or the day, or the hour.
I do know it was in the Rep. of Panama since I live here. I guess that is close enough.
I do know that I have heard nothing else on the news SINCE her death so I should be able to trace it back.......
......... ///snort))))):)
LOL!!!!
“when you have to sit in an air terminal for 3 freaking hours and every channel is On the Clinton News Network at volume 11, during a Baptist funeral for.....”
If forced to choose between watching that funeral, or watching something of the singer who dangled his child over a hotel balcony [in Germany in 2002?] ... I’d pick Whitney’s funeral anytime.
