While at the peak of her career, Whitney’s personal life was painted in black. Her marriage with Bobby Brown saw some serious troubles. In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston said she went from being a “light” drug user to a “heavy” one over the course of her 15-year marriage to Brown, 43. In 2003, police responded to a domestic-violence 911 call to their Georgia home and discovered Houston with a bruised cheek and a cut lip. Brown subsequently turned himself in and was charged with misbehaving with the superstar and reportedly threatening to beat her up.
