Why Chris Rock's Joke About Whitney Houston Made Bobby Brown Furious

Whitney Houston passed away in her Beverly Hills hotel room back in February 2012, and while it's been well over a decade since her death, the legendary singer is still a topic of discussion among many celebrities and her fans. 

In 2019, Chris Rock decided to share a meme on Instagram that poked fun at Houston's past struggles with substance abuse. He shared a post that said, per Yahoo!, "Me sitting in a meeting that could've been an email. Hurry up I got crack to smoke." Of course, it didn't take very long for Bobby Brown to learn of Rock's post. He took to Rock's comments section to let it be known that he wouldn't tolerate that kind of disrespect of Houston. He blasted, per Bossip, "When I see you on site I am going to smack every tooth out of your mouth. I thought you was a friend to my family but when I see you I'm a bust your a**." Uh oh. The indictment continued, During this time of women empowerment you chose to use your time to try and humiliate our QUEEN!!!" 

Rock ultimately deleted the controversial joke, so it's safe to assume he heard Brown loud and clear.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction issues, help is available. Visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website or contact SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
