Bobby Brown’s son Landon has revealed his former stepmother, Whitney Houston, treated him like an employee when he went to stay with the former couple.
Landon Brown says Houston was a “nightmare” to grow up with, refusing to accept him as a member of her family.
He tells the National Enquirer that his former stepmom insisted he slept in a guest house when he came to stay - and refused to let him spend time with her daughter - his half-sister - Bobbi Kristina.
He says, “Whitney and I never really got along. She didn’t necessarily hate me, but she wouldn’t really speak to me either. In Whitney’s eyes, I was the stepchild.”
He adds, “She decided to turn me into one of her security personnel. I was a teenager but I was walking around dressed up in all black with a Security shirt and she’d have me work for her. I was just another one of her staff.”

Being Bobby Brown just a got a bit more interesting. In his controversial upcoming autobiography, “Being Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But…” the troubled pop star admits to everything from getting together with Janet Jackson to nearly dying from a drug overdose. But the one thing Bobby, 39, won’t ’fess up to is insulting his ex-wife, famed singer Whitney Houston, 44. “I don’t have anything bad to say about her,” says Bobby. “She should have no worries. There’s no mess in this book.”
Exactly how dirty the former couple’s laundry is, seems relative. “The book is really good. I’m not a complex person,” he says. “I’m just trying to maintain a certain amount of integrity — and a certain amount of bad boy-ness.” Bobby’s tell-all addresses issues such as Whitney’s alleged drug use, rumors about her sexuality and their much-publicized divorce. The R&B crooner is candid about his motives. “I think the story needs to be told from my point of view,” he says. “I still have kids that are in school right now so I have to do what I have to do. Daddy doesn’t stop working.” Bobby’s new book is scheduled to hit stores on May 13. He’s also working on a new album. “I’m in a perfect place right now,” he says. “I’m really happy — that’s why I’m having a beer.”

Bobby Brown is ready to tell-all in his new book, Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But. The scandal ridden singer, who divorced from his supertsar wife Whitney Houston last year, said that he was intimate with her Madgesty before he got serious with Whitney.
He said, “By the time I reached my third single on the Don’t Be Cruel album, I was one of the biggest stars in the world. You know what that means.. “With success comes the women!” A wise man once told me that. At this time, I probably had dated half of the industry including Madonna.”
“I met Madonna early in my career. She used to open up shows for New Edition in New York at the beginning of her career,” he continued, “So running back into her and getting to know her better at the height of my success was like a reunion. The list goes on from the who’s who to the flavor of the month.”
The book also talks about his marriage to Whitney and all his bad boy antics. The book hits bookstores this May.

Whitney Houston is upset that Bobby Brown has gone public with his damaging claims about their marriage in his new autobiography.
In the book, titled Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But…, he blames Whitney for the breakdown of their marriage and says that she married him for all the wrong reasons.
In one chapter, Bobby even claims Houston is responsible for getting him hooked on hard drugs.
He writes: “I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice. “At one point in my life, I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine.”
Whitney has since responded to those allegations and has expressed her disappointment. But she refuses to to hit back at Bobby and takes the high road.
Her spokesperson says, “Miss Houston is sad that Bobby feels he needs to say such things, but she chooses to take the high road and will not speak badly about the father of her child, even if it’s to set the record straight.”

Bobby Brown denies Wednesday’s reports he had a mild heart attack, saying he is healthy and ready to begin his upcoming tour.
“None of it’s true,” the singer told the Associated Press Radio late Wednesday. “I don’t know where the heart attack thing came from – I’m just fine.”
Reports of the singer having suffered a mild heart attack were confirmed by his rep, Phaedra Parks. She told PEOPLE – just hours before the singer went on AP Radio – that Brown had been rushed to hospital with chest pains on Tuesday afternoon and was “recovering nicely.”
Parks told the media that her client was diagnosed as “suffering from a mild heart attack … they attributed to stress and diet.”
Contrary to this statement, Brown said the hospital visit was routine. “I did go to the hospital, to just get a checkup, get everything tested out so that I could go on this tour, and everything is fine,” Brown said. “The doc gave me a clean bill of health.”
He is scheduled to perform at the V100 Taste of Soul concert in Los Angeles over the weekend and kicks off his tour in Atlanta on Nov. 16.
The AP reports that Brown’s rep did not return calls and e-mails after Brown’s radio appearance.
Soooooooooooooo…um…………………what happened?

Singer Bobby Brown was hospitalized with a mild heart attack but is in “great spirits” and hopes to perform this weekend, his rep said Wednesday.
“He’s recovering nicely,” rep Paedra Parks tells PEOPLE. “We thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate the outpouring of support.”
Brown, 40, felt chest pains Tuesday afternoon and “was rushed to the hospital,” Parks says. By Wednesday morning, he was in “great spirits and has a great prognosis from his doctors.” He was expected to be released later in the day.
Brown, who had not experienced heart problems before, is scheduled to perform at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles on Oct. 13 and still planned to take the stage.
“He’s a performer,” says Parks. “It’s what he does best.”
In addition to his new medical problem, Brown is in the midst of an ongoing divorce and custody proceeding with Whitney Houston, 44. The two are expected in an Orange County, Calif., court on Oct. 22.
Brown’s heart attack was first reported by TMZ.com.
