People need to quit blaming Bobby Brown. The facts are that she was into drugs before she was into Bobby Brown. In fact she probably got him into drugs if anything. And Bobby Brown cleaned up his act 3 years ago and tried to get her to do likewise before they split. Yes, I lover her music and her voice but the fact is she has not made a record in like forever. TV is being gracious in showing us the "good Whitney" but have you seen her lately? Take a look at her last picture. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertai...in-last-photo/
Is America responsible for the loss of its talent when that talent leads destructive lives? I know that people are free to do what they want, but there must be some line that gets crossed where the collective benefits from the imposition, the intervention into someone's private life.
How many of us felt that we should have done something to help Whitney and Michael Jackson and many others with far less stellar names deal with their problems? Of course, who are we, we don't know them, how could we possibly help them? We hope their families and loved ones intervene, tell them they are heading down the wrong path and hope that the message gets through.
We don't know what caused her death but the guess is that it is drug-related in some way, so I consider the loss to be tragic and unnecessary.
But I was thinking earlier today, is there not an imperative that we collectively act to stave off the loss of something extraordinary, something that benefits all of us? Aren't we in some way responsible for helping those who get lost to find the way back? Or do we ignore them like we do the homeless or hold them at a distance and simply "wish" them well, doing nothing?
Is our lack of concern a societal character flaw? Is it an expression of our myopic view of our own problems that keeps us from reaching out to each other? We all want those warm loving arms around us but we've created a society that laughs at such important ideas.
At what point will we realize that each person's problems lessen all of us? At what point will we love each other, openly, fearlessly?
I'm sorry for the loss of her and so many others. It's just sinking into me now that this should not occur anymore, that we should embrace healing and be each other's keeper. Otherwise, the world would be cold and empty and needless loss would simply exponentiate. I'm saying: we can do better. Or is there nothing we can do and this is just how life is?

you can not help a drug addict get clean they have to do it for THEMSELVES. and Whitney was a disgusting disgrace of a mother
I know of a relative who's been abusing drugs for decades and one who thoroughly enjoys getting sick for attention. No one has been able to help them and yes, they need to do something for themselves first and foremost. But I will not discard them to the trash bin because they feel low enough to do those things to themselves. The ultimate responsibility is personal, but it doesn't mean we withhold love from those who are most in need of it. Challenging? You bet. Probably as challenging as the road they take for themselves.

when you feel sorry for a addict your what is called a enabler. Feel sorry for his or her family their the ones that need the sympathy. not someone who is distorying is life and his family

I can't say I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for what could have been.
with her money she can afford the best re-habs and she did not want to get clean for herself and all thee celebs crying is a joke what great acting on teir part. If they REALLY cared she would be alive.
What makes you think she had a lot of money? She had not performed for money in ages and the talk is that she was nearly bankrupt.

Wait untill her OFFICAL will becomes public. She has a lot lic arragements and owns a gets a lot of or now got a lot of residuals from all of her work world wide.
till yesterday someone was paying for here LUXURY LIFE unless people were just nice and did not charge here for anything and gave her freebees. same with her daughter. granted BB must suppport BCB but still she was living mostly with her mom and dressing to the nines unless she was robbing it.
or maybe CLive davis was taking care of her
btw you do not have to work to have money you can live off of interest, residuals, other investments
