Brown, who was speaking at the Beverly Hilton where Houston was found dead in 2012, added the allegations against him are false.
“What people don’t understand is the stories told about me are untrue, are false,” he said. “We’re correcting everything the press has believed about me. I’m able to tell my story from what I know, my truth. That’s the basic reason we did this film. We did this film to tell my side of the story. What me and Whitney went through is what we went through.”
