Bobby Brown wants everyone to know it was all Whitney Houston's fault. At least that appears to be the approach he's taking in his forthcoming tell-all, "Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But," in which the onetime R&B star-turned-reality show wreck accuses his ex-wife of leading him astray.
"I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney," he writes in the book, which was excerpted Thursday by the New York Post. "Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice."
Eventually, Brown reveals, "I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine."
The tempestuous pair, who finally called it quits in 2006 after 14 deeply dysfunctional years, one daughter (Bobbi Kristina) and the doody bubble-besmirched holler-fest that was "Being Bobby Brown," was "doomed" from the start, he says.
"Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow," recalls Brown. "I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married."
At least Brown is willing to admit he wasn't a perfect husband, something that was already pretty clear from his multiple arrests during their marriage.
"I am guilty of sleeping with other women," he acknowledges.
But that doesn't mean he's responsible for his indiscretions. Turns out the girls and his hormones are to blame.
"Women are always throwing themselves at you. I'm only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes," justifies Brown. "I let the testosterone take over."
