In his new memoir, “Every Little Step: My Story: Bobby Brown,” Bobby Brown claims he secretly dated Janet Jackson but dumped her after she wouldn’t leave her partner for him.
According to Us Weekly, Brown says he thought Janet would leave Rene Elizondo Jr. for him, but “she told me she wasn’t in love with me,” he told Us Weekly.
“She loved me but wasn’t in love with me,” he said, adding that the singer told him, “My father won’t allow me to be with a black man.”
Brown wrote in his book that her remarks about her father compelled him to kick her out of the hotel room where they had been “lying in bed after having sex.”
“I exploded and I threw her out,” he wrote.
Brown says he had been crushing on Janet since the 1970s.
“I fell in love with her when she was Penny on ‘Good Times’,” Brown told Us Weekly. “It goes back that far, you know, my infatuation with her.”
