Atlanta attorney Phaedra C. Parks came out swinging Thursday after Tmz.com published a camera-phone image of her client Bobby Brown and ex-wife Whitney Houston taken Tuesday night at Joe's Crab Shack in Alpharetta and hinted that the pair was high. Tmz.com also sent out a news alert to e-mail subscribers with the headline: "Whitney and Bobby: Livin' the High Life Again."
"It's incredibly irresponsible of Tmz.com to take cheap potshots at people who have experienced problems in their past," Parks told us. "My phone has been ringing all day. Bobby asked me, 'What are they saying?' I had to tell him, 'They're saying you were high.' 'He replied, 'Oh my God, that's terrible.'"
Parks says that the parents of Bobbi Kristina are in town this week to help their daughter enter high school here.
"They are both sober and they're both trying to have positive careers," Parks said. "This is extremely unfair to both of them. She's a mother. He's a father. And they're here trying to be good parents. It was just an easy thing for Tmz to tag them with."
Brown told Parks that while they were eating at the Haynes Bridge Road restaurant, another patron approached them with a camera phone and started snapping images.
When contacted by Buzz on Thursday, a manager at Joe's Crab Shack told us that Houston and Brown were cordial and friendly during their visit and that no one working the shift reported either pop star as being impaired.
While the singers maintain ties to Atlanta, the couple's former residence at Country Club of the South was sold in May for $1.1 million.
