In a startling revelation that is going viral on social media, Sharon Osbourne has made a claim that the late Whitney Houston once accused her of trying to sleep with her then-husband, Bobby Brown.
Sharon recently spilled on an awkward encounter she once shared with Whitney Houston.
It’s an accusation that hails from the past, a time when Houston was at the peak of her career and married to Brown, an equally talented singer who was, unfortunately, more known for his tumultuous personal life than his music.
Whitney was in rehearsals when she saw Sharon seated next to her then-husband.
Osbourne, known for her no-holds-barred attitude and frankness, didn’t shy away from sharing this anecdote on The Osbournes Podcast. According to her, Houston had approached her at a hotel and accused her outright. The mom of three painted a vivid picture of the encounter, describing how she was taken aback by the unexpected confrontation and vehemently denied the allegation.
Whitney made sure to question Sharon on whether she was trying to make a move on Bobby.
“I was hosting the [‘Divas Duets’] for VH1, and I was at sound check, and Whitney was up on stage doing her sound check,” she recalled. “Her little girl [Bobbi Kristina] obviously liked watching ‘The Osbournes’ and she came up and sat next to me. Gorgeous little thing. And then suddenly her dad came and sat [on] the other side of me, Bobby.”
She abruptly stopped her rehearsal to confront Sharon.
Houston took notice of Brown seating himself next to Osbourne as she abruptly stopped her rehearsal to directly ask her whether she was trying to make a move on her man.
But Mrs. O says she apologized profusely, saying she was not trying to get with Bobby.
“And she goes, ‘Mrs. Osbourne, are you trying to f–k my husband?’” Osbourne shared. “And I’m like, ‘No, no, please, I’m not!’ I went running down the aisle, and I’m like, ‘No, no, no, you don’t understand! No, no, no, I wasn’t.’”
Whitney and Bobby’s relationship was entertaining, to say the least.
Osbourne’s claims bring forth yet another controversy from the golden era of music. While we may never know the truth behind this alleged incident, it undeniably adds to the legacy of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, two figures who left us fascinated with their talent, and, of course, their very entertaining personal lives.
The Unforgettable Union: Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown
The realm of music has seen many legendary figures, but few have left an impression as indelible as the I Will Always Love You singer. Her angelic voice, unmatched talent, and vibrant persona made her an icon of her era. Equally captivating was her marriage to Brown, which was generating tons of headlines throughout their time together. Their relationship was as infamous as it was intriguing, marked by love, turbulence, and controversy.
The Beginning: Love at First Sight
Their love story began in 1989 when Houston met Brown at the Soul Train Music Awards. Despite their starkly different public images — Houston was America’s sweetheart, while Brown was the bad boy of R&B — they felt an immediate connection. After three years of dating, they tied the knot in July 1992, in a lavish ceremony that was the talk of the town.
The Height of Controversy
While many viewed their union with skepticism due to their contrasting personalities, Houston and Brown seemed to be deeply in love. However, their marriage was far from tranquil. Brown’s reputation for being a wild child of the music industry, coupled with rumors of infidelity and domestic violence, cast a long shadow over their relationship.
The Downward Spiral
As the years passed, their relationship became more turbulent. Both Houston and Brown struggled with substance abuse, which took a toll on their personal and professional lives. The couple had a daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, in 1993, but their marriage continued to unravel amidst allegations of drug use, infidelity, and domestic violence.
The End of an Era
After 14 years of a tumultuous marriage, Houston filed for divorce in 2006. The divorce was finalized in 2007, with Houston gaining custody of their daughter. Despite their separation, their bond remained a significant part of their lives. Brown expressed his deep love for Houston even after her tragic death in 2012.
Legacy of a Fascinating Union
Houston and Brown’s marriage will forever be remembered for its highs and lows. It was a relationship that, amidst the turbulence, showcased moments of genuine affection and mutual respect. Some fans say their union was a testament to their larger-than-life personas and the immense pressure of living under the public eye, serving as a cautionary tale for many in the industry.
