Al Sharpton To CNN’s Don Lemon: Leave Bobby Brown Alone

CNN’s Don Lemon spoke with the Rev. Al Sharpton about Whitney Houston‘s funeral and the touchy subject of Bobby Brown leaving after getting into an argument with Houston’s family. “One moment that was seen around the world during the service when it first started, we saw Bobby out here standing upset. He left. What happened inside?” Lemon asked.

“I talked to Bobby; Bobby did nothing but show love and respect for the memory of Whitney and his Daughter,” Sharpton responded. “And Bishop Jason, I spoke with him on the cell phone. He has shown nothing but love and respect. I wish people would leave Bobby alone.”

“But we just heard his entourage couldn’t be accommodated,” Lemon interjected.

“I don’t know nothing about that,” Sharpton replied. “I know that Bobby when he spoke to Bishop Jason and I, that all he wanted to do was show respect and love.”
