There was a moment four summers ago in Bravo's reality series, Being Bobby Brown, that put a permanent stain on collective pop culture consciousness and, according to many, brought TV to a new all-time low.

It was the moment when Bobby Brown described using his thumb to "cure" Whitney Houston's constipation. "That turd was too big," he famously exclaimed.

Sometimes reality is just a little too real. If you need to take a moment to cry or quietly throw up, that's totally understandable.

This 1998 John Norris interview pales in comparison to the horrors seen in 2005, but it is valuable as foreshadowing. To promote the release of her fourth studio album, Whitney took an on-air phone call from "My Love Is Your Love" writer, Wyclef Jean. To communicate just how real the lyrics he wrote for Whitney were, Jean divulged some very personal information. Whitney was quick to back him up. I'd go into more detail, but I've already done enough damage for one post.

Why don't you just go ahead and watch?
