Bobby Brown ‘believes key evidence finally proves he’s NOT to blame for Whitney Houston’s death’
BOBBY Brown feels that by "unraveling his soul on TV," he has proven he "was not responsible for Whitney Houston's death."
The R&B star is happy that the "world now knows that Whitney was no angel," a source revealed.
Brown, 53, is "glad" that he told his truth about his troubled life, delving deep into Whitney's drug use and their turbulent relationship in his explosive TV documentary, the insider added.
Many fans blamed Bobby for Whitney's spiraling cocaine and crack addiction in the late 1990s, even claiming he introduced her to narcotics.
Whitney was found unconscious in the bathtub at a suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 11, 2012.
Her cause of death was reported as drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use."

But the Boston-born artist has told close friends: "finally, his version of events about the real Whitney is now out there."
The friend, who worked on the recent A&E Bobby Brown Biography show, told The Sun: "He didn't throw Whitney under the bus, but certainly made it clear that she was no angel or squeaky clean church-raised kid.
"She was a street girl with a tough personality and a bigger drug addiction than he ever realized.
"She was the driving force for getting high long before he found himself spiraling out of control."

The source added: "He felt he needed his say after so long, and in his words.
"The important thing to him was that he said it all on camera, so there could be mistaking what he meant.
"He wrote a memoir opening up on his marriage, but seeing him on television, expressing his emotions so powerfully, resonated so much more with audiences.
HE LOVED WHITNEY
"Certainly, the emotion of him dealing with the loss showed the world that he genuinely loved Whitney and was destroyed at her death."
On the show, Brown stated that ex-wife Whitney would still be alive today had they stayed together - and fought their hard drug addictions.
Emotional, Bobby admitted on camera he remains heartbroken that Whitney could not kick cocaine and crack after he got sober.
He also claimed he speaks to his ex-wife and their deceased daughter Bobby Kristina from beyond the grave.
“We would still be together if it wasn’t for drugs. Drugs got the best of us.”

In the documentary, aired last month, he said: "I think we could have helped each other out. I think she would still be here if we hadn't divorced.
"I wasn't there. I beat myself about it because I wasn't there. I wish I could have been there for her.
"We had made our beds and had to lie in them. We always felt that our love was strong enough to overcome any obstacle put in front of us.
"We would still be together if it wasn't for drugs. Drugs got the best of us."
'TRUTH HURTS'
Brown's friend added that Bobby's wife and manager Alicia was a "key factor in his story being told in public on camera."
The associate added: "Alicia has felt that Bobby has never had the right vehicle to speak in-depth on camera about his full journey with Whitney.
"She knew both of them while they were together and was adamant that Bobby should get his chance to tell fans the truth.
"And for some fans, the truth hurts. But now we know Whitney was the one who had the drug dependency long before him."
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The source adds that Alicia and Bobby let their children watch most of the A&E Channel's Bobby Brown Biography show, but held back on them seeing the episodes where he discusses Whitney and Bobbi Kristina's passing in depth.
