Bobby Brown Briefly Shows Up At Whitney's Funeral; Leaves Before It Begins

NJ.com is reporting that Bobby Brown left New Hope Baptist Church just minutes before the funeral began.

According to a person familiar with the situation, Brown brought an entourage of nine people with him to the Newark church and wanted them to sit with them in the family section.

"They were asked to leave," the person said, referring to the entourage. Brown was not asked to leave, but "he left with the other people," according to the person, who was not at liberty to discuss the situation publicly.

Brown appeared visibly upset as he left the church and got into a black Cadillac SUV.

 

There had been speculation all week as to whether Brown would attend today's service. He was asked to the invitation-only service late in the week.

Bobby Brown has been on tour with New Edition over the last few weeks and is scheduled to perform at  Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Casino tonight. No word on if he will be taking the stage or not.
