Bobby Brown has spoken out on why he left the funeral of his ex-wife Whitney Houston.

The singer reportedly walked-out of the funeral with the nine members of his entourage at the beginning of the service.

Brown has revealed in a statement why he left, saying: "My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston.

"We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions."

He added: "I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no-one else to move.

"Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina.

"In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed, as I refused to create a scene."

Bobby continued: "My children are completely distraught over the events.

"This was a day to honour Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how."

    He had no business being there without an invitation... he was her EX. She was precious, till she met him... i blame him for her drug and alchol use, as do many of her fans...

    Read the article again. Third sentence/paragraph down. "My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston."

    He *was* invited. Selective reading much?
