Whitney Houston’s ex-husband Bobby Brown was reportedly kicked off a flight after crew members claimed he was drunk. 

The singer was removed from his first class seat shortly before the plane was scheduled to take off from LA to Boston. Sources say that Brown was involved in a row and was held at the entrance of the plane until police arrived. He was not allowed to return to his seat and all passengers were removed from the flight, causing the flight to be delayed for an hour.

Brown reportedly admitted to drinking before the flight and was only reactive when he was told he could not have a drink. A statement from JetBlue indicated that Brown was “removed from the aircraft prior to departure after crew members observed indications of intoxication. In this instance, the customer was offered a seat on a later flight. The customer declined and was issued a refund."

Bobby has been open about his struggles with booze, heroin and cocaine in the past.

The incident comes two months after the four year anniversary of the death of his only child with Whitney, Bobbi Kristina.

The 22-year-old aspiring singer died in July 2015, six months after being discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her home.

Bobbi died in an eerily similar way to her mother superstar mum Whitney who was found face down in a bathtub in an LA hotel on February 11, 2012, on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
