WHITNEY HOUSTON‘s ex BOBBY BROWN blames himself for her raging out of control drug problems!
And he’s recruiting her loved ones to stage an intervention, sources tell The ENQUIRER.
Friends believe Whitney is still hopelessly addicted to hard drugs, and Bobby is making plans to ask pop diva Janet Jackson – whose beloved brother Michael battled his own substance-abuse demons – to step in, insiders say.
"Whitney is struggling with her addictions, and Bobby blames himself for her problems," a close family friend divulged to The ENQUIRER.
"They did drugs together for years, but Bobby got clean and now he sees it as his job to help Whitney beat her addictions.
"He told me, ‘What’s happening to Whitney is all my fault. I stayed in the party life too long. I should have helped her a long time ago.’"
Bobby is now sober after beating alcohol and drugs – and it was the couple’s 17-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina who begged him to help her troubled mom, according to the source.
"Bobbi Kristina told her dad that she thinks Whitney is still getting high, and asked him to confront Whitney about it," the source revealed.
"Bobby went to Whitney and said, ‘Look, baby, you can’t get this monkey off your back alone. I will help you.’ He promised that they’d beat her addictions together."
Whitney, 47, has admitted to getting involved with drugs after she married Bobby in 1992. In a lengthy interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, Whitney finally broke down and disclosed the couple did marijuana and freebase cocaine.
"We were lacing our marijuana with base," Whitney confessed.
While denying the couple was on crack, she admitted they were spending wildly on cocaine.
"We were buying kilos and ounces and ounces. We would have our stash," Whitney said.
Now a desperate Bobby – who’s engaged to his manager Alicia Etheredge – is enlisting the help of Whitney’s friends and family members, said the source.
He’s in the process of talking to her mother Cissy, her music guru Clive Davis, cousin Dionne Warwick, and actor Denzel Washington, who once helped the troubled star break free of her drug use, said the source.
"Bobby knows that most of these people, especially Whitney’s mom Cissy, don’t like him and blame him for Whitney getting hooked on drugs, but he’s hoping they’ll put those feelings aside to help Whitney," said the source.
