Bobby Brown caused a scene at the funeral of Whitney Houston because security resisted admitting his sizable entourage. The Houston family lawyer clarified that this could have been avoided had Brown complied with the agreement he signed before Whitney’s funeral. Access Atlanta reports that the agreement stated that Brown was to sit with the Houston family and that he would was not to speak to his daughter, Bobbi Kristina, unless she spoke to him first. Mr. Brown broke both of these rules.

The attorney for Whitney Houston’s family suggested Tuesday that a clash between ex-husband Bobby Brown and security at the weekend funeral for the Grammy Award-winning pop singer could have been avoided if Brown had adhered to two agreements made to accommodate him and his family.

One agreement, Atlanta attorney Mark Trigg told V-103’s Frank & Wanda Morning Show, was that Brown, who had been married to Houston for 15 years before their 2007 divorce, would sit with the family at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., without others in his entourage.
