Bobby Brown and his wife Alicia Etheridge got married just two months ago in Hawaii but their marriage is already tested with a stint in rehab.
Alicia confirmed Bobby was in a facility saying, “he’s doing great,” but did not elaborate. Brown is reportedly in treatment for alcoholism after members of the group New Edition became concerned about his drinking, according to Radar Online.

“It’s just unexplainable . . how one could, you know, [say that I] got her addicted to drugs.
