BET's The Bobby Brown Story tries to redeem Bobby Brown from public villainy
-
"Following the release of three Whitney films since 2015 and even a vulturous TV biopic about the tragic life of daughter Bobbi Kristina, ex-husband and singer Bobby Brown is now clearly asking, 'What About Bobby?'" says Robyn Bahr. "BET's cheaply made (though endlessly watchable) miniseries The Bobby Brown Story unfortunately comes off as a different kind of #MeToo story — one that posits, 'What if abusers were the true victims all along?'"
