“It was a year of healing,” she said. “When you get publicly humiliated this way, I felt so out of control and powerless. Walking away and knowing that I’m worth everything and this person didn’t take anything from me, it felt very empowering,”

Following the split, Bobby Brown has been doing just that and is happy in her new relationship with Jake Bongiovi. The couple was recently spotted soaking up the sun in Sardinia, Italy, during a romantic getaway in a private yacht.
