Bobby Brown sues Showtime and BBC over Whitney Houston documentary

The Hollywood Reporter

The singer is seeking $2 million on behalf of him and the estate of late daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. The lawsuit alleges that Nick Broomfield's 2017 film Whitney: Can I Be Me uses footage of Brown and his late daughter without permission. "The film contains footage that Brown and BKB has never consented to have released," the lawsuit states. "Brown and BKB appear in the film for a substantial period of time, in excess of thirty (30) minutes. The footage was actually recorded prior to the divorce in 2007 between Brown and Houston. Brown never signed or executed a release for the airing of the material that appears in the film. The footage of Brown is approximately fifteen (15) years old."
