And so Bobby did... and it turned out to be 233 pages full of illicit affairs, and explosive truths.
But that was until right before the book was set to drop, Handspike learned that Bobby decided to not go through with it because he was afraid of how the book would hurt his family and reveal a little too much about his past.
The book chronicles Brown’s life from his childhood, rise to stardom with New Edition, drug problems, relationships, and his explosive 14-year marriage to Whitney Houston. Which is another reason why the book is considered "unauthorized"... because Whitney was magnanomously opposed to it's release.
“I had heard rumors that Whitney was trying to stop this book from coming out and that she was going to do whatever she had to do to keep it from being published,” Handspike states in book’s foreword. “I then started to wonder if Bobby had been influenced by Whitney not to go through with it. Whitney has been known, is known and will always be known as having a major influence on him. For whatever reason, Bobby, his lawyer and manager were not in a hurry to finalize the agreed upon book release deadlines!”
Despite this setback, Handspike made several changes to the book which legally allowed the go ahead for the project to be published, even without Brown’s final support.
“With all the hard work, time, and dedication to the project and money spent out of my pocket preparing this memoir, I decided to make the necessary changes to release it, Handspike stated. “I made the changes to revise the book so it reads as a biography in lieu of an autobiography.”
Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But… is published by Down South Books and available now at all major book retailers and www.downsouthbooks.com.
