Cissy Houston stopped by The Today Show to discuss her daughter, Whitney Houston and reveals that she does not blame Bobby Brown for her death although she acknowledges he ‘hurt’ her. Hoouston, who is currently promoting her new book, “Remember Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music Stopped,” told Savannah Guthrie, “Good mothers and good fathers and good families don’t always have great children.Bad people have good children… It’s all their responsibility when they get to a certain age to choose their way. She was taught, she knew the way.”

“I don’t know too much about Bobby Brown,” she said when asked about Whitney’s ex-husband. “I don’t want to talk about him. … I know he didn’t help her. I don’t blame him. … Everybody is responsible for their own actions up to a point. She was raised, she knew better, and whatever took her to that position, I really don’t know.”

Still, in a later interview with TODAY’s Al Roker, Houston went a bit further, saying marrying Brown “wasn’t the greatest idea in the world” and that “he did hurt her in a lot of ways. … She was in love, I guess.”
