Scorned Bobby Brown ex-wife's funeral storms off

Even his mere presence at her funeral caused an embarrassing scene.

Whitney Houston’s troubled ex, Bobby Brown, showed up at the invitation-only service with an entourage, which several media outlets counted as nine people.

When he tried to have everyone seated in the family section inside the packed New Hope Baptist Church, he was told that he could stay — but that everyone else in the group had to leave.

So Brown gave a kiss to Houston’s casket, and left.

In a statement, Brown said that he and his children were invited, seated by security, and were then asked to move three times.

“I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move,” he said.

He also complained that he was prevented from trying to see the daughter he has with Houston, Bobbi Kristina.

“In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene.

“My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

After the service, the Rev. Jesse Jackson defended Brown.

“Bobby came in, and he was sitting in the front row,” Jackson told The Post. “Someone asked him to get up, and he wouldn’t get up. I felt they should have accommodated him, but they did not.

“Bobby showed nothing but love,” Jackson said.

Jackson said Houston’s mother, Cissy, and Bobbi Kristina were not involved.

Last night, Brown joined his group, New Edition for their concert at the Mohegan Sun Casino.

“I want to give blessings to my ex-wife, Whitney Houston,” he told the crowd.

“I love you,” he said as he pointed to the sky.
