| Bobby Brown Jailed Over Child Support |
Singer Bobby Brown was sentenced to 30 days in jail by a Massachusetts judge, unless he pays $19,000 in child support for two of his children in what is the R&B singer’s second arrest in the state in less than a year. Brown, who is in the process of a divorce from Whitney Houston, was arrested on Sunday February 25, while visiting his daughter in Massachusetts.
This past October, an arrest warrant was issued after Brown failed to show up at a hearing on overdue child support for Kim Ward, the mother of two of his children. Brown paid $11,000 in late child support after a judge ruled he would be arrested if he entered Massachusetts without paying what he owed.
Since that time, Bobby has let his payments go again, leading to his arrest. The 38-year-old’s representatives said they were working to collect the money, which will free Bobby upon payment.
Brown’s lawyer Phaedra Parks said: “Although this agreement was put in place when he was Bobby Brown the star, this agreement is being enforced when he is not always able to find work.”
“He hasn’t made an album in quite some years.”
Brown started his career with the group New Edition before going on to have a string of solo hits, a successful album with Don’t Be Cruel, and a Grammy award. Obviously, Bobby Brown’s not a saver. To sell millions of albums, win a grammy, and end up in jail over not being able to pay $19,000 seems almost surreal. Someone needs to get this man a record deal ASAP! |
