On The Couch With Bobby Brown

I don't want to miss anything because I am not familiar with the particular show that Brown was on, but with the look of a hangover or just plain drying out Brown looked and acted as though he could be provoked by any particular statement he didn't like --- Homosexuality was just one one them. Unfortunately we're breeding this type of super-macho mentality everywhere. No, substance abuse is not an excuse, but unfortunately it does lead to a lot of violence and anti-social behaviors.

I dont know if he has suffered the gay rumors as an entertainer like his former bandmates, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill but a gay rumor would totally destroy any idea of a "comeback" for him and we know that gay rumors start, most times, just by a conversation being had with gay in it. Thats on his professional level.

On the personal macho man level he is an ignorant, illiterate, unattractive man shot to stardom as a child from the projects with no cultural grooming even after being around the world what the hell do we expect. Most bigots and true racists can be as rich as Bill Gates but education and lack of real exposure assures bigoted fearful comments.

I dont expect too much from the likes of him and the guy handled him really well.

Crack ruined all the trade. Whatever happened to good ol' heroin? Back then you'd tell a piece o'trade, "no, I don't bring money out with me at two o'clock in the mornin'." and that was it--no problem. Not no mo'. Bobby reminds me of crack trade.

though predictable, that's upsetting to watch. but probably not as upsetting as reading the inevitable flood of posts from the bobby brown apologists, who will give him amnesty for this bit of homophobic insanity.

i suppose some real therapy would be in order for bobby brown, but i refuse to feel sorry for him. poor career killing, lesbian marrying, drug abusing, million-dollar-blowing, drunk-driving, second-third-fourth-fifth chance-getting, public-street pissing bobby brown.

what i wouldn't have given to see that interviewer smack the taste out of brown's mouth. now THAT would've been really more of a joke.

fuck bobby brown if he can't take a joke.

No Way
May 14 2007, 1:58PM

Keith agreed with almost everything you wrote with the exception that Bobby is B-list Celeb....please if Kathy Griffith calls herself D-list Bobby can't be any better than C. A C-listed during his fame of the late 80's and early 90's after his marriage to Whitney.

The whole scene is too sad, otherwise Bobby is crazy as bats.

Luddite
May 14 2007, 1:58PM

Derrick: as always I gotta remember not to drink anything while reading your posts. I almost spit my iced tea all over my keyboard. One would think that crack trade would look better and act saner after coming right out of prison (before they hit the glass dick again). Sadly Bobby didn't even look like that. Besides he is too old to be trade anymore...

MidwestGuy
May 14 2007, 2:17PM

Keith did you accidentally hit the "b" key instead of the "d"..cuz that's the first problem.

Not a Bobby fan but did he really "jump" up from his reclined position.

Considering that this is was a TV Show, is it possible that the entire thing was simply "made for tv?" The other guy didn't seem in the least bit alarmed by Brown's "horrible" behavior nor his "threats of violence." I would assume that the brit guy would've been afraid had this American Thug really threatened him.

Anyway, I'm a bit confused as to why you are making THIS issue..an issue. Is another boycott on the way?

Kenneth Winfrey
May 14 2007, 2:20PM

This hypermasculine violent reaction to homosexulaity is so old and tired. The interrogation of a man on his sexual orientation and the determinatino to make him state whether or not he's gay or straight (unless you're trying to have sex with him...) is also old and tired.

...but what more can we expect from an old, tired, drunk and crazy Bobby Brown. Doesn't he have enough money to just go somewhere and retire already?

When will men learn that threatening to beat somebody up (or even making good on the promise) does not make you a man and that fear is not currency for respect.

The LoveHater
May 14 2007, 2:23PM

From what I saw on that clip, I can't say Bobby Brown was being "homophobic." He never suggested that the host was less of a man if he were gay. He did not call him a "faggot" or use any derogatory slurs. The host made a dead-pan joke about a jail house sex move after being deemed "dangerous." Let's face it, to someone who's been to jail (many, many, many times) that means rape.

Bobby appeared more threatened at the idea of this man insinuating that he was planning to make a sexual advance than his actual sexual orientation. Jokes about rape are not funny regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. When Bobby spoke of being a "grown ass man" to me, he was letting him know that he was not going to be taken advantage of in any physical way.

In my eyes, Bobby came out on top (no pun intended) when he said, "I think you're less of a man for not answering."

Did you know Bobby Brown was one of the first underground members of CocoaDorm? Yep, his name was Mocha Machine Gun and he was chopped by the director quick because his eyes kept rolling to the back of his uncombed-unkept head, scroll back early Keith Boykin articles, 1984-85ish I think...

bubba
May 14 2007, 2:51PM

You know what compounds the problem? Putting forth the notion that forcible gay sex is the only downside to prison. Of course Brown's hysterics are beyond appalling, but blame the interviewer too. Are we still on that tired joke in 2007? Don't drop the soap! HA HA HA.

Derrick from Philly
May 14 2007, 2:51PM

I think it's interesting that y'all think that "gay sex moves" in the context of prison automatically means prison rape. A "gay sex move" doesn't have to be a aggressively dominant forceful process. As a man who's been to prison many many many times, Bobby knows that. Many men and women get together behind bars without a rape taking place. There are many long term inmates who are emotionally involved with their partners-not by force and coercion. I don't think the British guy was talking about rape, he was talking about seduction. Bobby was responding in the same way many guys who've never been to jail respond when they feel they're being propositioned homosexually...well, it depends on the circumstances and "who's around to see,"--you know the "gay panic" bullshit.

"...old, tired, drunk, and crazy..."
Kenneth, for a second I thought you were taking a hit at me and my comments--accurately.

nOva
May 14 2007, 3:19PM

Wasn't there a post recently on Jasmyne's site where a group of gay women stabbed a man down for making advances on them?

This Bobby Brown thing pales in comparison.

bubba
May 14 2007, 3:29PM

Whether it's rape or seduction, Derrick, why is either circumstance being presented as a joke? There's as much gay panic in his delivery as there is in Brown's response.

The Captain
May 14 2007, 3:41PM

I know this may sound silly, but Mr. Bobbie asked some good questions to Campbell. I mean, even if it was a "joke" (To me it was a cover up excuse) what motivated him to even say it in the first place? I think Bobby handled this situation very well. It wasn't to show off this "overly masculine" attitude as some would try to claim; Bobby just wanted this guy to come clean and say what he really is and he was too much of a lady to say it. Did Bobby punk Campbell? I don't think so. Do I think Campbell was out of term? YES!

The entire stance that straight men should tolerate and welcome the advances from another man is straight up STUPID! This is NOT a "simple expression of interest."

Dakota
May 14 2007, 3:54PM

I honestly felt Bobby's anger toward the host, and the host total lack of comprehension of Bobby's anger. Perhaps Bobby had a bad experience in prison that we the public were not privy too. No matter, violence can not ever be the answer, when the question is homosexuality....

MR. Jackson State

Derrick from Philly
May 14 2007, 4:04PM

"...as much gay panic in his delivery as there is in Brown's response."

Interesting, but please explain a little further(I'm serious). I've seen comedians joke about homosexual "come ons" many times on TV and movies.
No, prison rape is not funny, and the horrors, pain, and degradation of prison rape is never presented as part of the joke. The joke is usually about a macho guy having to "give it up" to other guys--a perverse irony. You may say that's still inappropriate, but the painful reality of rape is never acknowleged. And as far as jokes about homosexual seduction: I have straight acquaintances who've made sexual jokes directed at me and I at them. I like it...'course I aint straight. But this British show is suppose to be some sort of reality show with COMEDIC moments, aint it? But Bubba, the idea that Campbell's "gay joke" had signs of a type of gay panic fascinates me.

bubba
May 14 2007, 4:06PM

Captain, there's a difference between refusing advances and threatening physical violence because of them. Brown wouldn't get that crazy with a woman who looked like Wanda from In Living Color out of disinterest. Furthermore, what is there to "tolerate" in the first place? Either you decline or you don't. It all depends on how respectful the person is. But, upon visiting your blog, it's obvious how much you hate gays. So bring on the fists after a come-on, right?

Charles
May 14 2007, 4:28PM

The host (Campbell) was wrong plain and simple...gay men making catty, bitchy and/or sexual remarks towards another male whether gay or straight (Brown) is a bit much and can be entirely disrespectful and/or threatening. Furthermore, if this interaction goes sour the "gay" man resorts to the term homophobia and this is simply wrong.

MidwestGuy
May 14 2007, 4:55PM

Is the criticism directed at someone (Bobby) who responded to an unsolicited "advance" made towards them or is it that the advance was from someone of the same sex. Either way, unsolicited advances should not be commonplace.

If Bobby made the advance towards a woman and she slapped him...would we feel the same way about her as some do about Bobby...or is it different because a gay man is involved?

I'm sure that most people (women and men) would cringe at the thought of some extremely unattractive person (Flavor Flav) making an advance towards them.

Unsolicited = unsolicited

Aaron
May 14 2007, 5:16PM

Love hater and Charles your perspectives cause me to re-evaluate the clip in the context of what you said. I do see that the host in his confident and domineering white way got what he deserved when seeking to jokingly emasculate what he knew was a straight man. The same can be said if dude was straight and Bobby were gay because emasculating to me is to take a dominate position over a person without their permission. He did that by "jokingly" bringing up sex/sexuality in the context of comparing himself to Bobby's "other" cellmates and yes rape is the overtone because he responds directly to Bobby saying he was dangerous.
My immediate reaction was a typical "under" conscious attack on this brother because I thought it was homophobic but this was really a pissing contest and to a truly conscious mind Bobby won because the host didnt pull his out, he pissed in his own pants LOL
Chris-leo everything aint always what you've been taught

May 14 2007, 6:19PM

The rockstar was not being homophobic.

That exchange would have been totally different had the host not been an ass. He knew he offended the crack fiend and all he had to do was apologize, but he decided it would be more fun to mess with him and get a nice clip.

People who actually defend that host must get a lot of drinks thrown in their face or worse.

If this were a male host interviewing a woman would the reaction be the same?

chris-leo
May 14 2007, 6:29PM

so, aaron. i think i saw the same video clip, and i saw every angle you just put down. but unlike you, i just think brown's reaction, in the context of an interview, is way out of proportion. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. he wasn't cornered in a prison shower. he's met gay people before. he even married one and worked in a singing group with one. where's the threat from THIS guy in THIS room?? i thought being adult meant that you figure out how to react to real threats and not spectres in your own mind.

so, explain something to me. you condone bobby's threatening, knuckle-cracking behavior because....???

ALSO why are YOU apologizing to bobby brown??

and not to put too personal a point on this, but YOU have no idea what i've been taught.

Solo
May 14 2007, 8:18PM

One man making a sexual advance at another isn't the same as a woman doing it. A man represents a real physical threat to another man, where as a woman doesn't. The average woman doesn't have the physical strength to force herself on a man if she is the type who doesn't deal with rejection well. Plus I get the distinct impression that the host deliberately made that sex move comment to get a rise out of Mr. Brown. But of course since he is straight and the host is gay the straight has to be the one who is wrong. I hear just a much hatred on these comments as I hear on predominately hetro websites. I person is provoked on purpose and when the desired reaction is garnered people complain, Hmmmm!

cmoney
May 14 2007, 8:37PM

Looks like made for reality TV histrionics to me. Bobby Brown WISHES somebody would make a sex move on his raggedy looking, broke down ass. I wonder if the reaction would be different if there weren't a TV camera in the room and it was just the two of them. Bobby would be taking his "Prerogative" to get a blow job from his cellmate "Tenderoni".

Kevin Quinn
May 14 2007, 10:25PM

There is absolutely nothing to be made of that video save an unnecessary confirmation that Bobby Brown is in the throes of post-crack insanity. Campbell (who is quite attractive, by the way) was clearly not making a pass at the repulsively unattractive Brown. He was creating a joke, as he said, out of the comment that he was dangerous though he hadn't done anything to merit Brown's classification. That Brown thought something was going on is delusional at best. Perhaps Keith's manifesto has currency on its own, but it is absolutely irrelevant to the negligible Bobby Brown.

Zeke
May 14 2007, 10:40PM

By the way, Solo, and others here who have gone on the "poor wittle straight man was threatened by the homo" and "everybody always sides with the queer guy when an inocent straight guy beats the shit out of him for making an unwanted pass" tirade, WHO SAID Jamie Campbell is gay?

Do you know something that the rest of us don't?

How about putting your straight oppression complex and your fears of rampaging homosexuals forcing themselves on helpless straight men away and join us back in the real world.

Paige Turner
May 14 2007, 10:55PM

There are people here who are actually defending Bobby Brown - now let me wrap myself around this....
Okay....wrapped.
Two questions:

Or...
Are some people just bat shit crazy?

bubba
May 14 2007, 11:19PM

THANK YOU Zeke. I didn't think there was any sense left here. Now Bobby Brown was justified because another man is a physical threat? Please. At that rate, we should all flinch at the proximity of men on any sidewalk. How about saving the self-defense for an ACTUAL assault? Otherwise, you're justifying incidents like Kevin Aviance's beating. His attackers thought his mere presence was worthy of violence too.

I wonder if all of the people on here who are dismissing Bobby Brown as a busted has been do the same when the busted has been is a gay. Were your opinions as pronounced when lets say George Micheal or Boy George get arrested on drug charges or is caught having anonymous sex in a public place. Somehow I don't think so! As 4 zeke, there are no "others" on here I am the only that actually has the courage not to march in lockstep with the majority opinon on Keith's site. Living in NY it has been my experience that gay men are extremely forward and are more likely to get in your face and altho I have never had to physically defend myself, I have been in many situations where I thought I might have to. I suppose the way Boobby Brown felt is the way white women feel when a black gets on the elevator with them. So I guess Bubba and Zeke have never had a visceral reaction to anything in their perfect lives.

I think when it comes to fighting the "big" fight, we should start with those individuals that explicitly seek to silence and do physical harm to homosexuals then work our way down to the Bobby Browns of the world. I'm more concerned with this guy not paying his child support.

Paige Turner
May 15 2007, 4:09AM

To Nova: THIS IS THE FIGHTING THE BIG FIGHT. Brown's clip is being aired on television and all over the net. Of course, it's commendable for you to be concerned about his paying child support to his daughter but what's puzzling is why you can't be cocerned about two things at once. There is a greater chance that this clip will encourage gay bashing than there is of Whitney Houston's daughter starving.

May 15 2007, 8:23AM

LOL, most of y'all are trips. Bobby Brown doesn't like men making a rape joke (sooooo funny) to him so he's a ugly D-list has-been. Y'all know if he had reacted more pleasantly then you chirls would be acting like he was Denzel-- better yet, if he was in fact a gorgeous homophobe y'all would be either 1) making excuses for him or 2) not even responding. I agree with the person who said that joke was inappropriate anyways nobody's thinking about no damn LTR when they think of male relationships in prison, they think rape and I surely don't think the interviewer (giving him credit for being smart here) thought any better hence it wouldn't have been "funny" enough to make the joke in the first place.

edwin greene
May 15 2007, 8:44AM

Solo, clearly the average straight Joe is not afraid of gay men - Bobby Brown obviously figured Jamie was gay and would, therefore, be easy to beat in a fight. I'm sure most straight men feel the same way. And since the average straight man feels physically superior to just about any gay man, why can't a straight guy just say no if a man makes a pass at him and leave it at that.
If some straight men feel a rage to kill or injure because a man makes a pass at them, I can honestly say that I feel a burning embarassment and rage whenever a straight person calls me a fag, faggot or punk or otherwise invades my space with their homophobia (or homo-hatred). And I know I'm not the only black gay man who feels this way. What if one of us (and the day will come) decides to act on those feelings?

Luddite
May 15 2007, 9:45AM

After reading Aaron's post I want to apologize to Bobby Brown for his career tanking shortly after his 1988 hit song. Clearly it was the fault of all the Gay men who wanted to sleep with him. I also think we Gays probably also destroyed his marriage to that pure, innocent, not at all ghetto, Lass named Whitney.

Our bad bro. Sorry :-(

Kola Boof
May 15 2007, 10:21AM

Bobby's reaction makes me think that he probably has been with a man before (seriously, I believe he has)....it was just too much of an "instant" OVER-reaction, you know what I mean?

I spoke to him on the phone last fall and he was really calm, coherent and hyper intelligent. Sometimes I wonder if people don't ACT OUT to make headlines/get attention? I've certainly been accused of such.

As for the violence thing---there is a SWEEPING EVIL "back lash" against people in this society who are different and it's only getting WORSE. Violence is doled out to anyone who is perceived as weaker or "different".

Luther
May 15 2007, 10:40AM

Child, I was always under the impression that his "marriage" to Whit was a sham to end rumors about her and her ex staffer Robin being an item, and that good old bobby was an exaggerated bad boy to hide his own, umm, desires.

One thing for this tired, played out singer, he sure can keep his unattractive, hood rat self in the limelight.

And, someone needs to let him no, that most gay men aren't going to be afraid of him and his silly threats of violence, he may have got a beat down of all beat downs, silly, uncouth, broke chump that he is.

May 15 2007, 12:13PM

I mesn they started out talking about PRISON. Sounds like nothing more than a knee jerk reaction. It aint nothing to get all deep or over analytical about where BOBBY is concerned...lol.

Aaron
May 15 2007, 12:27PM

Hello victims of keithboykin.com. Look at this AGAIN and tell me where Bobby Brown said anything deragatory towards being gay. He called the dude dangerous and he responds with a comment on SEXUAL advances. He did not laugh. It was not about the physical game it was a mental game too many of you poor lasses would lose. Bobby Brown responded in his way but he clearly understood this guys quest to control that contained environment, conscious or unconscious.
Comparing Bobby Browns rage to the PREDATORS that atttacked Kevin Aviance is disgusting and shameful at the very least. We were/are not oppressed because of force on our physical self but on our mental and so many of us dont even realize how we are oppressed in believing a white man in a room with an aggressive out of control Black man aint trying to get control.
I apologized to Bobby for my unconcious comments about him into the universe.

I think this is so hilarious! Bobby should be called Barbara because he totally bitched out. Any man who is truly confident in his manhood and sexuality has the ability to just say NO to unsolicited advances by other men. The ones who become hostile are obviously insecure about themselves. He looks like hell in a hand basket in that video. What person in his or her right mind would want his raggedy, smoked out ass? Whitney stayed with him all those years; however, SHE WAS A CRACKHEAD! When she cleaned herself up, she got rid of his broke, deadbeat, hideous ass. That's what's up.

May 16 2007, 11:15AM

I don't mean to keep beating a dead horse, but don't tell me that when a man "comes on" to you sexually in prison and it is always a rape situation. I know this from personal experience (even in a county jail you can run into guys who spent time in the state system before, and they can resort to homosexual activity very quickly once incarcerated). Have y'all actually researched homosexual activity in prisons? You shouldn't be so confident in your opinions if their just based on TV and movies. I was going to say, have y'all talked to someone who was incarcerated for a number of years, but I'm not sure former inmates tell the truth about such matters when they're released. I even read that prison rape has had a steady decline in prisons in the North and West Coast states, but consentual sex goes on. So, when Campbell said, "gay sex moves" I still don't think he was talking about forcible sex.

Sho
May 16 2007, 5:27PM

I think everyone needs to get off of Bobby Brown's back. The host of this show was just flat out wrong for what he said. I think we all know that with most straight Black men, this kind of inuuendo will not not fly. The situation could have gotten really ugly really quickly but Bobby chose not to go there. Instead, he posed some very pertinent questions, which went unanswered. As much as everyone wants to bash Bobby for this, we should really acknowledge the fact that, although he was a bit hood about it, he tried to approach the situation with some manner of intellect. How many other men would have questioned the host rather than just commence to whip his ass?

bobby is a contagious joke who infects all who deal with him in any way...from clowning new edition to addicting whitney...he is a cancer that needs to be evaded...

those who bash complimentary gays are seeking to kill their own reactions and arousal...

Allow me to state that I personally KNOW Bobby Brown. Contrary to rumors and innuendo, he is one of the nicest most considerate guys in all of show business. Bobby does NOT have issues with gay men at all the host simply disrespected him on the television show by steering the audience in the direction that BOBBY was gay with that snide comment he made. Any self-respecting man gay or straight should have read him in the same way. Kev Noble Mag

chris-leo
May 18 2007, 9:26PM

oh, yeah, kev. he's just a sweetie.

let's go back in time and imagine that bobby said, "you're more dangerous." and the host had said, "and i didn't even come at you with a shank."

would bobby have cracked his knuckles and reacted as if the guy had disrespected him or had made a threat?? HELL NO. it would've been funny. that is unless bobby had been stabbed in the joint.

and since over 90% of anger comes from feelings of powerlessness, we're left to ask, exactly what the fuck was bobby feeling powerless or vulnerable about?? THAT'S what somebody needs to answer, and i'm afraid we'd need a battery of shrinks and lots of time to get that answer.

if we believe bobby's reaction, all bobby showed us was that he supposedly felt powerless. what about that does anybody find impressive???

of course, an alternate explanation might be that he was faking outrage to make a point. since the host posed no threat, was bobby's reaction for the camera. hmmm. either way -- not impressive.

First of all what the FUCK does this have to do with Whitney?!! Except for a bunch of you holier than little shits to make snide comments[nothing new]funny I don't remember hearing all these angry bitch comments when it was obnoxious 'rapper' Eminem preaching LOTS of violence against gays him and his white-trash,trailer-park,psycho-nut,meth-addict,suicidal wife. But oh I forgot when it's a WHITE person they have a 'disease' and good old Em was just expressing his 'artistic' expression and if you truly believe THAT I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale dirt cheap. Bottom line Brown was out of line but he has every,I repeat,every right to tell someone even for you who think he's so 'hideous'[by the way Eminem ain't all that cute either]to back the hell off. And maybe he wouldn't want any of YOU if we could see what you look like.

Bobby Brown was a star in the 80's. He married Whitney Houston and everything from that point went down for her. Their crack smoking habits destroyed the image of one of the greatest singers in history. She will recover, but Bobby Brown will need to go back to the hood where he came from. His hair is still unkept, he's not attractive to men or women, and he is validation that you can take the hood out a nigga, but you can't take the nigga out the hood. One word, Mr. Brown-Rehab!

If, like Aaron says, a gay rumor would totally destroy Bobby Brown's chance for a comeback then let's start one now. I am tired of his face and would like to never see him again so here goes: Last time he was in Atlanta I saw him on his hands and knees in the back room of FLEX BATH HOUSE.

OK here's the deal. Bobby said he's going to "fuck" up the host. Too Freudian coming from an inebriated celebrity who was used to getting hit on all the time and who clearly had a great sexual appetite. [my first comment got rejected by the computer, but here it is in response to Saint Rage's last post: THAT was Bobby?!!]

But why should being a junkie 'ruin' HER career?!! There are COUNTLESS white celebrities who are dopefiends and crackheads who not only DON'T get vilified by the holier than media but are pampered over and these same whiny assholes saying how 'sad and tragic' it is and that we should all 'feel sorry for them' BULLSHIT!! Not only do they worship crackheads but other nefarious slimebags as well so does the behavior of sleazbag Tommy Lee prove you can't the white thug out the bad environment but not the environment out the white thug.
