Washington, Sep 15 American singer Whitney Houston has revealed that her ex-husband Bobby Brown emotionally abused her when he was drunk.

Houston, 46, revealed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey how Brown, 40, cut her out of family photographs, and that her "crazy love" for him led to her cocaine and marijuana abuse.

She revealed that she tried to be the perfect wife and, for a long time, she and Brown "fought hard (and) loved hard", but she struggled to deal with her ex when he drank and became "mean".

Houston insists that Brown never physically abused her, but he would spit on her and terrify her with crazy behaviour, cutting her head off in pictures and drawing 'evil eyes' on their bedroom walls with spray paint.

"He had such hate in his eyes for me, because I loved him so much," Contactmusic quoted her as saying. (ANI)
