Brown was linked romantically to several women including Madonna and Janet Jackson. It’s even said that Jackson ended their courtship because she felt her family would not approve of Brown’s reputation. One of the most famous and tumultuous relationships in music history is that of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. 

The public felt Brown tarnished Houston’s ‘all-American good girl’ image by allegedly introducing and encouraging drug use, committing acts of infidelity and falling into legal problems.
