The BET two-part movie event The Bobby Brown Story claims that the former New Edition singer had a relationship with Janet Jackson while he was married to Whitney Houston.
Part one of The Bobby Brown Story shocked viewers with the revelation that Brown cheated on Houston with the sister of Michael Jackson. The movie alleges that not only did Brown cheat on Houston with Jackson, but it was also alleged that the singer was involved with his current wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, since the 1990s, while he was married to Houston.
Whitney Houston filed for divorce from Brown in 2007 after 14 years of marriage and one daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.
Hollywood Life reported that Brown shared an intimate relationship with Jackson. There was a sex scene between the actors that portrayed Brown and Jackson, portrayed by Woody McClain and Cree Davis, which set Twitter ablaze.
The scene culminated in Bobby throwing a naked Janet out of his hotel room after the two argued over James DeBarge, whom Jackson married in 1984. When an infuriated Jackson attempted to leave, Brown said in the film, “You too good to be in my room, then you can get the hell out of here!” In the film, Brown alleges that Janet refused to go public with their relationship because he was black, reported TooFab.
Fan reaction on Twitter was mixed to the alleged hookup between the two, with many fans not even aware that the two were a couple at one time.

So I was on the phone with my Grandma who spilled the TEA about this whole Janet/Bobby story.
Apparently, Whitney won an award over Janet and said onstage, “I stole your award and I stole your man.”
