Domestic Violence Call...
[From
Rolling Stone]
Whitney Says Bobby Hit Her
Police answer domestic violence call
Georgia police are investigating
Bobby Brown for possible domestic abuse charges, after his wife, Whitney
Houston, called authorities on Sunday and claimed that Brown had hit her.
Police who responded to the call said
that Houston suffered a cut lip and a bruised cheek. By the time they were
on the scene, Brown had left home for the airport. No arrest has been
made, but police intend to question Brown in the matter.
While legal trouble has followed Brown for much of the past decade, his
eleven-year marriage to Houston had given off an impression of solidarity.
She tirelessly defended him during his numerous arrests and recent jail
stints. When Brown was freed from a Florida prison in July 2000 after a
month-long stretch for a probation violation, Houston waited outside to
pick him up. Later that year, the couple co-headlined a concert in Las
Vegas, with talk of taking the show on the road, plans that never
materialized.
More recently, another probation violation earned him a weeklong stay in a
Georgia jail. As part of his early release (he served half of a
fourteen-day sentence), Brown was also put under house arrest until the
end of October.
Brown and Houston have two children.*
