Bobby Brown has taken a bitter swipe at Whitney Houston, accusing his ex-wife of marrying him to cover up rumors that she is bi-sexual.

The faded hip-hop star made his shock accusation in his new tell-all memoir, entitled Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But...

In it he says he was nothing more than a pawn in Whitney’s bid to "clean up her image’."

Making his revelations about their turbulent 14–year marriage which ended in 2006, the 40-year-old writes: "[The marriage] was doomed from the very beginning. I think we got married for all the wrong reasons.

"Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married. I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children."

At the time they were first married, the media was accusing Houston of having a bi-sexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. ‘

"Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn’t go too well with her image," said Brown.

"In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not."

The excerpt is poor timing for the diva, who is trying to resurrect her once drug-ravaged image with a career comeback.

Although she has already enjoyed a number-one album, her comeback hit the rocks after a dizzy performance on British TV Talent show The X Factor.

While pefoprming, the 46-year-old’s glittery frock fell apart.

"I have sung myself out off my dress," she told a baffled studio audience.
