  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Autopsy Report Released, Death Still Under Investigation–Has Nick Gordon Been Cleared?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston and New Edition singer Bobby Brown, died on July 26th, 2015, after spending several months in a coma. She was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home that previous January.

    Just this week, the autopsy report for Bobbi Kristina Brown was released. And while it shares what killed her, it doesn’t shared the circumstances under which she died.

    It was Thursday when a judge ordered the autopsy reports for Bobbi Kristina Brown to be unsealed.

    Fulton Country District Attorney Paul L. Howard Jr. said in a statement obtained by People magazine that the criminal investigation into her death is ongoing.

    When the autopsy report was released on Friday, what would have been Bobbi Kristina Brown’s 23rd birthday, it indicated she died of a combination of drugs and drowning. “A toxicology report found marijuana, alcohol, “a cocaine-related substance,” sedative and anti-anxiety medications and morphine in her system. (The medical examiner could not determine whether the presence of morphine was the result of heroin use.)”

    The report also said Bobbi Kristina’s body was “under-nourished.” She weighed just 95 pounds.

    Bobby Brown issued his own statement to the media on Friday, regarding the investigation into his daughter’s death.

    “We will continue in our efforts in the civil lawsuit and the criminal investigation,” he said.

    It was back in September when Bobby Brown’s attorney accused her live-in boyfriend, Nick Gordon, of causing Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death.

    “In regards to the civil litigation, we believe we know who harmed Bobbi Kristina Brown, and his name is Nick Gordon,” a statement read at that time.

    A conservator for Bobbi Kristina also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Nick Gordon, alleging he “injected” her with a “toxic mixture.”

    Nick Gordon maintains his innocence. He is happy Bobbi Kristina’s autopsy report was released, because he believes it backs up his original claims.

    But does it?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s autopsy report didn’t tell anyone anything they didn’t already assume. The investigators still have a very difficult job on their hands.

    Did Bobbi Kristina Brown attempt suicide? Was her overdose and drowning accidental? Or did Nick Gordon inject her with a mix of drugs and put her in the bathtub to die?

    What do you think happened to Bobbi Kristina Brown prior to her discovery in the bathtub on that fateful January day? Do you expect this mystery will one day be solved?

  • Bobby Brown Takes to Stage for First Time Since Bobbi Kristina’s Death, Nick Gordon Visits Bobbi Kristina’s Grave

    Bobby Brown took to the concert stage on Sunday night, marking his first appearance since his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown died on July 26.

    It was at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. that Bobby Brown performed alongside Macy Gray in a surprise appearance. He and Gray did a duet of her song “Real Love.”

    Bobby Brown was adamant following Bobbi Kristina’s passing that her boyfriend Nick Gordon not be allowed to attend the funeral. Brown–and other members of his and Whitney Houston’s families–feel Nick Gordon was somehow responsible for Bobbi Kristina’s passing.

    Nick Gordon finally paid his respects to Bobbi Kristina–visiting the site where she and Whitney Houston are buried at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey–last week.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered facedown in a bathtub in the Roswell, Georgia home she shared with Nick Gordon back on January 31. Bobby Brown wouldn’t allow Nick Gordon to visit his daughter’s hospital room, nor the rehab center and hospice where she lived out her last days.

    A civil suit was filed against Nick Gordon by one of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s conservators, alleging he abused her and stole money from her in the days before she was discovered unconscious.

    Hopefully Bobby Brown’s appearance with Macy Gray this past weekend is indicative he is getting on with his life. No parent should have to bury his or her child. Bobbi Kristina’s death will no doubt impact Bobby Brown for the rest of his life.

  • Cissy Houston May One Day See Justice for Granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown

    Cissy Houston may one day she justice in the tragedy that befell her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. The only child of Cissy Houston’s daughter Whitney Houston, the conservator who filed a civil lawsuit against Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon alleges Gordon caused Bobbi Kristina’s death. She has amended the recently filed multi-million dollar civil suit to read as such, too.

    It was last week that Cissy Houston, Bobby Brown, Pat Houston, Tyler Perry, Dionne Warwick, and more joined together to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina Brown. A funeral was held at the St. James Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Her body was then flown to New Jersey for burial beside her mother, Whitney Houston. Cissy Houston lives in New Jersey and will hopefully find solace in knowing she can visit both her daughter and granddaughter’s graves whenever she feels the need to do so.

    What will surely bring Cissy Houston solace, however, is justice. And while no criminal charges have yet been filed against Nick Gordon, hopefully the actions on behalf of this civil suit will coax investigators to look even deeper into this case to learn what happened to Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    Bobbi Kristina was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia townhouse back on January 31. She never regained consciousness. The civil suit conservator Bedelia Hargrove initially filed has been renamed a wrongful death suit. It alleges that Nick Gordon gave Bobbi Kristina a “toxic cocktail” that rendered her unconscious, then placed her facedown in the bathtub. He allegedly then changed his clothes. He apparently then told another woman inside the home at the time, “Now I want a pretty little white girl like you.”

    “I am deeply saddened by the recent death of Bobbi Kristina Brown. I extend my sincerest condolences to all of her family. Consistent with and to the letter of the civil action I initially filed on behalf of Bobbi Kristina, we will continue to pursue justice for her,” Bobbi Kristina Brown’s conservator Bedelia C. Hargrove tells People magazine in a statement. “I have filed today an amended complaint against Nicholas Gordon adding a count for wrongful death and for pain and suffering. We will leave no stone unturned in seeking justice for Bobbi Kristina Brown.”

    While these actions on behalf of Nick Gordon are beyond despicable, hopefully justice will be served–especially for Cissy Houston. No one should ever bury both a daughter and a granddaughter in their lifetime.

    Cissy Houston has, of course, done both.

  • Cissy Houston Celebrates Life of Bobbi Kristina Brown at Funeral After-Party

    Cissy Houston served as matriarch of a family gathering at the home of Pat Houston, celebrating the life of Bobbi Kristina Brown after her funeral on Saturday. Bobbi Kristina was mourned at a funeral at the St. James Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia–just outside of Atlanta. Tensions ran high as the Houston and Brown families gathered together.

    Those tensions started earlier in the week, following Bobbi Kristina’s death last Sunday. Cissy Houston and Bobby Brown had very different ideas about how Bobbi Kristina should be honored. Cissy Houston also had very strong feelings about the guest list, insisting that Bobby Brown not invite certain members of his family.

    One member of Bobby Brown’s family that probably should have been left off that list is Leolah Brown. She made a scene in front of all the mourners when Pat Houston was about to address those gathered. Tyler Perry escorted Leolah from the church. Once outside she addressed the media.

    “Whitney Houston will haunt Pat Houston from the grave,” she said.

    Leolah Brown later told the media, “It’s not over. We’ve got evidence of who Pat really is, this is going to be a long drawn out process.”

    The Brown family seems to think they deserve some of Bobbi Kristina’s inheritance from her late mother, Whitney Houston. Whitney’s will clearly reads that in the event of Bobbi Kristina’s passing, the money is to be divided between Cissy Houston and her two sons. One of those sons is married to Pat Houston, and members of the Brown family seem to feel Pat catered to Bobbi Kristina since she was discovered nearly dead in her townhouse bathtub back on January 31, for the money alone.

    Interestingly enough, Leolah Brown attended the reception in honor of Bobbi Kristina at Pat Houston’s home following the funeral. Cissy Houston must have been disgusted to see her arrive after witnessing her making such a scene at her granddaughter’s funeral.

    The reception at Pat Houston’s home was a lighthearted affair, with guests chanting Bobbi Kristina’s name as they pointed toward heaven.

    Bobbi Kristina will be buried on Monday next to Whitney Houston in New Jersey, near Cissy Houston’s home.

  • Bobby Brown: Wife Alicia Etheredge Suffers Seizures Following Bobbi Kristina’s Funeral

    Bobby Brown has had a terrible few days. As he prepared to say goodbye to daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown in a wake Friday and a funeral on Saturday, he was faced with not just grief, but the fighting between his family and Whitney Houston’s. On Saturday, his sister Leolah Brown caused a commotion during Bobbi Kristina’s funeral and was escorted outside.

    Shortly after Bobbi Kristina’s funeral, Bobby Brown had another scare. His wife, Alicia Etheredge, suffered seizures and was rushed to the hospital. Etheredge just gave birth to a baby girl a couple of weeks before Bobbi Kristina’s death.

    Sources say Bobby Brown’s wife was well enough to walk into the hospital herself, but that doesn’t lessen the fright that all who know and love her must have experienced.

    Bobby Brown reportedly called an ambulance when his wife suffered the seizures at an Atlanta hotel where family members were staying following Bobbi Kristina’s funeral. He is said to be by her side in the hospital.

    Hopefully life calms down for the Brown and Houston families. Both sides of Bobbi Kristina’s family have suffered greatly since she was discovered unconscious in her bathtub back on January 31.

    The Brown and Houston families will attend a private burial for Bobbi Kristina in New Jersey on Monday. She will be laid to rest next to her mom, Whitney Houston.

    Hopefully Bobby Brown will be able to leave Alicia Etheredge in order to attend the burial. Perhaps by then she will be well enough to travel and attend the burial, too.

  • Cissy Houston Attends Wake for Granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown

    Cissy Houston attended the wake for her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown on Friday evening at the Murray Brothers Funeral Home in Atlanta. She paid her respects alongside members of the late Whitney Houston’s family

    It was around 6 p.m. when the Houston family arrived at the funeral home, led by Cissy Houston. Members of the Brown family stayed outside the funeral home in their cars until after the Houston family members paid their respects.

    Bobby Brown was accompanied by his wife Alicia Etheredge, as well as his sisters Tina and Leolah Brown. There was no mention of Bobbi Kristina’s cousin Jerod Brown, who was known for misinforming the media since the day Bobbi Kristina first wound up hospitalized.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s life will be celebrated at a funeral on Saturday morning at the Saint James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. It is an invitation-only gathering. Earlier this week Cissy Houston and Bobby Brown were at odds over those who would receive invitations and those who wouldn’t. There were apparently several members of Bobby Brown’s family that Cissy Houston refused to invite.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown died on Sunday. She was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31. She never regained consciousness. After being hospitalized in Atlanta, she was transferred to a rehab center. From there she entered the Peachtree Christian Hospice outside of Atlanta, where she stayed for a month until she passed away.

    Bobbi Kristina will be buried in New Jersey beside her mother Whitney Houston. This means Cissy Houston can visit her granddaughter and her daughter’s graves at the same time.

    What a terrible thing for this 81-year-old woman to experience. Her heart was broken when Whitney Houston died in 2012. Now, just three years later, she has lost her granddaughter, too.

    Cissy Houston has a strong Christian faith that will no doubt get her through these next few painful days. Because of that faith she likely finds peace in knowing her daughter and granddaughter are once again united.

  • Nick Gordon Begs Bobby Brown to Let Him Attend Bobbi Kristina’s Funeral

    Nick Gordon reportedly sent an email to Bobby Brown in recent days, begging him to allow him to attend Bobbi Kristina’s funeral on Saturday.

    According to the email, Nick Gordon, who was Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend, wrote a passionate plea.

    “I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye.”

    Nick Gordon is a “person of interest” in the investigation into what rendered Bobbi Kristina Brown unconscious in her bathtub, where she was discovered back on January 31st. He has been served with a multi-million dollar civil suit by one of Bobbi Kristina’s conservators. The suit alleges that not only did Nick Gordon both physically and emotionally abuse Bobbi Kristina, he also withdrew money from her bank account as she lay in a hospital in a medically induced coma.

    In the email, Nick Gordon appealed to Bobbi Kristina’s aunt, Pat Houston, as well.

    “I’m begging you both to please put your differences aside and allow me this chance.”

    “Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there,” he added.

    It doesn’t seem likely that either Pat Houston or Bobby Brown will allow Nick Gordon to attend Bobbi Kristina’s funeral. Bobby Brown wouldn’t even allow him to visit Bobbi Kristina while she was alive and hospitalized.

    Bobby Brown was blamed for Whitney Houston’s death in the days following her discovery facedown in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton back in 2012. Family members believed his drug use led to her using drugs, which ultimately led to her demise.

    Might Bobby Brown recall how he felt in the days following Whitney’s death and relent?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s life will be celebrated at a funeral on Saturday at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia.

    Will Nick Gordon get to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Cousin Jerod Brown Shares Love With Houston Family, Looking for Invite to Funeral?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away on Sunday at the age of 22. Ever since the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was found facedown in her bathtub on January 31, the entire tragedy has been surrounded by insanity. Some of that insanity came in the form of Bobby Brown’s family members.

    On Thursday one of those family members once again used the Bobbi Kristina tragedy to gain himself a bit of media attention–and it clearly worked. Do you suppose he was also gunning for something else–like an invitation to Bobbi Kristina’s funeral on Saturday?

    Bobbi Kristina’s grandmother Cissy Houston and her dad Bobby Brown have reportedly been arguing over who can and cannot attend Bobbi Kristina’s invitation-only funeral. Cissy Houston presented Bobby Brown with a list of his family members she doesn’t want at Bobbi Kristina’s funeral.

    Jerod Brown took to Facebook on Thursday to share his love with the Houston family.

    “I, personally want to take the time to say thank you to all who sent a prayer up and participated in the ‪#‎PrayForBK‬ Campaign for our loved one Bobbi Kristina. Though this is the end of her journey here on Earth, I can only hope for many it has been the beginning of a better relationship with the man upstairs. To my family, let us all continue to embrace one another & see to it that uncle Bobby knows he has a beautiful family to lean on in this time of dispair (sic). To the Houston family, we love you guys and we all will get through this one day at a time. Thanks Again to you all!”

    It’s not likely that Jerod Brown wants the Houston family to feel his love. It’s far more likely he wants to show his face to the members of the media who will be camped out outside the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, where the funeral will take place.

    Will Jerod Brown be invited to Bobbi Kristina’s funeral?

    Will he have this much love for the Houston family if he doesn’t receive an invite?

  • Cissy Houston, Bobby Brown Arguing Over Bobbi Kristina Funeral Guest List

    Cissy Houston and Bobby Brown, grandmother and father, respectively, of the late Bobbi Kristina Brown, are reportedly battling it out over the guest list for Bobbi Kristina’s funeral. Scheduled for Saturday at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, the 22-year-old’s funeral is by invite-only, and it’s apparently those invites that have the Houston and Brown families at odds with one another again.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown will be buried in New Jersey on Monday, beside her mom Whitney Houston. This likely provides a bit of solace for Cissy Houston, who lives in New Jersey and will be able to visit both her daughter and granddaughter’s graves when she feels the need to do so.

    Cissy Houston has apparently come down hard on Bobby Brown regarding certain members of his family that she doesn’t want attending her granddaughter’s funeral.

    “Family is supposed to come together at this time and you would think now that Krissy is gone they would. But it’s not the case,” a source says of Bobby Brown and Cissy Houston. “Bobbi hasn’t been gone 24 hours and Cissy [Houston] already making it clear to Bobby [Brown] that she doesn’t want certain members of his family at her wake or funeral. She doesn’t anyone trying to make a quick buck off selling pictures of Bobbi in a coffin like someone did to Whitney.”

    A picture of Whitney Houston taken in the funeral home following her passing was sold and published in numerous media outlets after her death. Cissy Houston doesn’t want a repeat of that travesty.

    “Cissy wants this process to be peaceful, respectful and to handled with dignity. She’s made her demands clear to Bobby and she’s enlisting the help of her Houston family members to support her in this decision,” the source adds.

    Who do you suppose will wind up invited to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s funeral? Will the guest list include celebrities and dignitaries or simply close friends and family members? How many of Bobby Brown’s family members will be invited? And what about Nick Gordon?

    It will certainly be interesting to see if Bobby Brown and Cissy Houston are civil to one another at Bobbi Kristina’s funeral.

    Even though Bobbi Kristina’s funeral won’t be televised like Whitney Houston’s was, the press will definitely be outside, reporting on the comings and goings of family members and guests. Do you expect a media circus to ensue on the days of Bobbi Kristina’s funeral and burial?

  • Cissy Houston, Bobby Brown Battle Over Guest List for Bobbi Kristina’s Funeral

    Cissy Houston and Bobby Brown are supposedly battling it out over the guest list for Bobbi Kristina’s funeral. Scheduled for Saturday at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, the funeral is by invite-only, and it’s apparently those invites that have the Houston and Brown families at odds with one another again.

    Bobbi Kristina will be buried in New Jersey on Monday, beside her mom Whitney Houston. This is no doubt a huge relief for Cissy Houston who lives in New Jersey and will be able to visit both her daughter and granddaughter’s graves at the same time.

    Cissy Houston has reportedly put her foot down to Bobby Brown over certain members of his family that she doesn’t want attending Bobbi Kristina’s funeral.

    “Family is supposed to come together at this time and you would think now that Krissy is gone they would. But it’s not the case,” a source says. “Bobbi hasn’t been gone 24 hours and Cissy [Houston] already making it clear to Bobby [Brown] that she doesn’t want certain members of his family at her wake or funeral. She doesn’t anyone trying to make a quick buck off selling pictures of Bobbi in a coffin like someone did to Whitney.”

    That does make sense, seeing as how a picture of Whitney Houston in the funeral home was sold and published in numerous media outlets after her death.

    “Cissy wants this process to be peaceful, respectful and to handled with dignity. She’s made her demands clear to Bobby and she’s enlisting the help of her Houston family members to support her in this decision,” the source adds.

    It will certainly be interesting to learn who winds up invited to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s funeral and who doesn’t. And it will be interesting to see if Bobby Brown and Cissy Houston acknowledge one another at the funeral.

    Even though Bobbi Kristina’s funeral won’t be televised like Whitney Houston’s was, the press will definitely be outside, reporting on the comings and goings of family members and guests.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Funeral Scheduled for Saturday, Burial on Monday–Families Fighting

    A funeral for Bobbi Kristina Brown will be held on Saturday at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, according to a report from Atlanta television station WXIA. Her body will then be flown to New Jersey, where she will be buried beside her mother, Whitney Houston.

    Saturday’s service begins at 11 a.m., but is reportedly only open to those who receive invitations. The burial is invitation-only as well. The New York Daily News reports that Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon is not on the guest list.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown died on Sunday at the Peachtree Christian Hospice outside of Atlanta. Her body was released to her family–following an autopsy–on Tuesday.

    Funeral planning for Bobbi Kristina isn’t proceeding without a hitch, as both the Brown and the Houston families have different ideas of how Bobbi Kristina should be honored.

    “The Houston family really wants Bobbi Kristina‘s funeral to be a big celebration of her life. They want it to have a party atmosphere, filled with laughs not tears. Unfortunately Bobby Brown doesn’t agree with this. He’s absolutely heartbroken and doesn’t like the idea of it being like her ‘Sweet 16′ party. He and the Houston family are really butting heads over who is running the show,” Hollywood Life reports.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s funeral won’t be broadcast on TV the way Whitney Houston’s funeral was back in 2012.

    “Absolutely no plans on broadcasting the funeral. Just like the deathbed photo that has been shopped around, they don’t want to have anyone financially gain from her loss. The family doesn’t want anyone to make money from this tragedy and make this more of a spectacle than it already has become,” a source says.

    It is no doubt a terrible time for the Brown and the Houston families. And while they never got along prior to the Bobbi Kristina tragedy, it’s important for them to try to get along now, as they all prepare to lay her to rest.

    Fighting won’t help any of them as they grieve. They are all grieving the same loss–that of a 22-year-old who is gone way too soon.

    Do you think the Brown and Houston families can curb their fighting in order to properly honor Bobbi Kristina?

  • Nick Gordon Didn’t Cause Bobbi Kristina’s Death, Relative Claims

    Nick Gordon didn’t cause the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown. That’s what a relative tells People magazine anyway.

    “Nick says he didn’t do anything to hurt Krissi,” the family member says. “He did not cause her death.”

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in her bathtub at a home she shared with Nick Gordon back on January 31. She never regained consciousness. On Sunday she passed away.

    An investigation launched by the Roswell, Georgia Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations is now a death investigation. Nick Gordon is said to be a person of interest in their investigation.

    Regardless of what authorities are doing, relatives of Gordon claim that takes a backseat to the mourning Nick Gordon is doing in light of Bobbi Kristina’s death.

    “He lost a soul mate,” the relative says. “They were young people who had a troubled background but were in love.”

    Conservators for Bobbi Kristina Brown filed a multi-million dollar civil lawsuit against Nick Gordon recently. The suit alleges he physically and emotionally abused Bobbi Kristina, and that he stole money from her bank accounts, too.

    Even though Bobby Brown wouldn’t allow Nick Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina while she was hospitalized, he reportedly has plans to crash her funeral. He told family members he wants to kiss her lips one last time.

    Do you think Nick Gordon is responsible for the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown?

    Do you think he stands even a chance of attending Bobbi Kristina’s funeral and kissing her one last time before she is laid to rest?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Was Bobby Brown There to Say Goodbye?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away on Sunday at the age of 22. She died at the Peachtree Christian Hospice just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. A source shared a list of family members and friends who were with Bobbi Kristina as she drew her last breath–but Bobby Brown wasn’t among those mentioned.

    It’s possible, of course, that the media outlet simply made a mistake and omitted Bobbi Kristina’s father from the list. Do you suppose he wasn’t present when his daughter died?

    It’s clear in the aftermath of Bobbi Kristina’s passing that Bobby Brown is suffering terribly.

    “Bobby can’t take it right now,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com. “This is truly one of the most gut-wrenching experiences of his life, and he’s hurting. He’s a mess and inconsolable. This is worse than when Whitney died. He truly didn’t want to take Bobbi Kristina off life support, and he was hoping for a miracle of all miracles.”

    Following Bobbi Kristina’s passing, Bobby Brown issued a statement via his lawyer.

    “Krissy was and is an angel. I am completely numb at this time,” the statement reads. “My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory. Our loss is unimaginable. We thank everyone for the prayers for Krissy and our family as we mourn my baby girl.”

    Whether or not Bobby Brown was by Bobbi Kristina’s side when she past remains unknown. Imagine how he must feel–in addition to mourning her death–if he wasn’t by her side when she drew her very last breath.

  • Nick Gordon Reportedly A ‘Person of Interest’ in Bobbi Kristina Brown Homicide Investigation

    Nick Gordon is reportedly a person of interest in what now is considered a homicide investigation in the wake of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s passing on Sunday. Gordon has been the subject on an investigation ever since Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31.

    A $10 million civil lawsuit was filed against Nick Gordon recently. It alleges he physically and mentally abused Bobbi Kristina Brown, and withdrew money from one of her bank accounts as she lay in an Atlanta hospital in an induced coma.

    Nick Gordon often claimed that he and Bobbi Kristina were married. Bobby Brown denied his claims after his daughter was hospitalized. No one has ever found proof that the two legally wed.

    Now both the Roswell, Georgia D.A. and the police department there are treating the Bobbi Kristina Brown case as a homicide.

    Earlier in July, a close friend of Bobbi Kristina–Alex Reid–said Nick Gordon had, in fact, abused Bobbi Kristina Brown on more than one occasion.

    “I don’t know when he started hitting her,” Alex said. “But I know of at least four occasions when he struck her. She also told me about he had tried to choke her once. She was definitely scared. She had some friends, but not many. One time, I remember she called me for three hours. She was hyperventilating. I could barely understand what she was saying because she was so distraught. When she could finally get the words out, she told me he had been physically abusive. He had hit her in the face and thrown her against a wall.”

    After learning about Nick Gordon’s abusive history with Bobbi Kristina, he was prevented from visiting her in the hospital by her dad, Bobby Brown.

    Nick Gordon was said to be on a suicide watch in the wake of Bobbi Kristina’s passing Sunday. His father has since denied the claims. He says that while his son is distraught, he isn’t suicidal.

    Do you expect Nick Gordon may be charged with murder in the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown?

  • Cissy Houston to Inherit Part of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s $20 Million

    Cissy Houston, mother of the late Whitney Houston and grandmother of Bobbi Kristina Brown, who passed away on Sunday, is likely to inherit a third of Bobbi Kristina’s $20 million estate. The estate was left to her by her mother Whitney Houston when she died in 2012.

    A source reports that in the event of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death, Whitney Houston’s will stipulates the money is to be split three ways–between Cissy Houston and Whitney’s two brothers–Michael Houston and Gary Garland. Michael is the husband of Bobbi Kristina’s aunt and conservator Pat Houston.

    Cissy Houston wasn’t at Bobbi Kristina’s side when she passed away on Sunday. Thanks to Pat Houston, however, Cissy spoke to her granddaughter every day before she died. Pat would call Cissy Houston and then place the phone up to Bobbi Kristina’s ear so her grandmother could whisper to her. Cissy Houston was unable to travel to Georgia due to health concerns. She is 81 years old.

    Cissy Houston had the most realistic view of all the Houston and Brown family members after Bobbi Kristina had been hospitalized in an induced coma for just under two months. She believed her granddaughter was in God’s hands and that he was in control of what happened to her. When doctors determined there was nothing more that they could do for the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Cissy spoke frankly to the media about it.

    “There’s not a great deal of hope,” Cissy Houston said in March when Bobbi Kristina Brown was moved from the hospital to the rehab facility.

    Hopefully Cissy Houston will be able to travel to Atlanta to Bobbi Kristina’s funeral. Tyler Perry is reportedly helping the family with those funeral arrangements that are tentatively set for Thursday, July 30th–almost seven months to the day from that tragic moment Bobbi Kristina was discovered unconscious in a bathtub inside her Roswell, Georgia townhouse.

    Cissy Houston has a strong Christian faith, and she strongly believes Bobbi Kristina is reunited with her mom Whitney Houston now. Hopefully that brings this broken-hearted grandmother–one who has lost so much–some peace. Even though Cissy Houston stands to inherit much in the wake of Bobbi Kristina’s passing, she would surely rather have her granddaughter and her daughter by her side again.

  • Bobby Brown Spotted Leaving Hospice After Bobbi Kristina’s Passing

    Bobby Brown was spotted leaving the Peachtree Christian Hospice on Sunday night, following the death of his 22-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. Bobbi Kristina was the only child Bobby Brown had with the late Whitney Houston during their marriage.

    TMZ shared a picture of Bobby Brown as he was driven away from the hospice. His face spoke volumes. While he no doubt feels some relief, knowing his daughter is no longer lying unresponsive in a hospice bed, the grief is plain to see, too. No parent should even lose a child. It’s simply not the natural order of life.

    Shortly after leaving the hospice, Bobby Brown–surrounded by family members and friends–stopped at The Speedy Avocado to have a bite to eat. And while it’s likely some will deem him crass or uncaring for doing so–what else is a man to do when his daughter has just died? There is just so much time the family is allowed to spend with a loved one following their passing. And that old adage does hold true–life goes on. People–even those in the throes of grief–must still eat, drink, and go about the things everyone else does on a daily basis.

    Hopefully Bobby Brown is finding some comfort in those family members and friends around him, as well as in those who surrounded him in the days leading up to Bobbi Kristina’s passing.

    The next few days will no doubt be difficult, too, as Bobby Brown–along with Whitney Houston’s family–prepares to lay Bobbi Kristina Brown to rest.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Passing: Oprah Winfrey, Taraji P. Henson, and More Share Their Grief

    Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away on Sunday at the age of 22. The only child of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, she was in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, surrounded by close family members and friends, when she died.

    It was back on January 31st that Bobbi Kristina was discovered facedown in her bathtub–an eerily familiar scenario to those who remember Whitney Houston’s passing in 2012. She spent several weeks in an Atlanta hospital, after which she was transferred to a nearby rehab facility. When it was determined there was no more doctors could do for Bobbi Kristina, she was moved to the Peachtree Christian Hospice, where she spent almost exactly one month before passing away.

    As soon as word broke Sunday evening about Bobbi Kristina’s passing, celebrities starting weighing in on the untimely death.

    Oprah Winfrey was among the first to share her thoughts on social media.

    Empire star Taraji P. Henson shared her feelings, too.

    Rosie O’Donnell had no words. She simply shared a photo of Bobbi Kristina.

    Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs shared a short video clip on Instagram of Bobbi Kristina when she was a little girl, in Bobby Brown’s arms with Whitney Houston by their side. He captioned the clip, “Rest in peace #BobbiKristina.”

    A video posted by Puff Daddy (@iamdiddy) on

    Eryka Badu directed her message of love to both the late Bobbi Kristina and her dad Bobby Brown.

    Sherri Shepherd shared her thoughts on motherhood, and shared a sweet photo of Bobbi Kristina with Whitney Houston.

    The list of celebrities sharing thoughts about Bobbi Kristina via social media is growing minute by minute. Feelings range from grief to relief at the knowledge that Bobbi Kristina Brown is now reunited in eternity with Whitney Houston.

    The Houston family released a statement on Sunday, confirming that Bobbi Kristina had passed away.

    “She is finally at peace in the arms of God,” the statement reads. “We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”

    One source says an autopsy is scheduled. Many are wondering what–if anything–the results may tell authorities about any physical abuse Bobbi Kristina may have sustained prior to January 31. Boyfriend Nick Gordon was recently named in a $10 million civil lawsuit. That suit alleges he both physically and mentally abused Bobbi Kristina in the days leading up to January 31.

    A report surfaced late Sunday saying Nick Gordon was on suicide watch in light of Bobbi Kristina’s passing. His father has since denied those claims.

    Hopefully the family of Bobbi Kristina Brown takes solace in the many messages of love and prayers that celebrities and others are sharing via social media. These and their memories are all they can cling to in light of this tragedy.

  • Nick Gordon Reportedly on Suicide Watch Following Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Death

    Nick Gordon was named in a $10 million civil suit filed on behalf of a conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown a couple of weeks ago.

    On Sunday, Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away at the age of 22. Could Nick Gordon face charges?

    Hollywood Life reports that Nick Gordon is on suicide watch since learning Bobbi Kristina has passed away.

    Shortly after Bobbi Kristina was discovered on that fateful day, Bobby Brown made it clear to both the media and the authorities that his daughter wasn’t married to–nor had ever been married to–Nick Gordon. He refused to allow Gordon to visit her in the hospital, in the rehab center where she was moved two months later, or at the Peachtree Christian Hospice outside of Atlanta, where she died on Sunday. He has believed since the beginning of this harrowing ordeal that Nick Gordon is responsible for what happened to Bobbi Kristina.

    After a stint in rehab–following an intervention with Dr. Phil McGraw–Nick Gordon went to Florida, where he is still believed to be staying with his mother. He made it clear several weeks back that he desperately wanted to see Bobbi Kristina Brown one last time before she passed away. He never did.

    Do you think Nick Gordon is responsible for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s untimely death at the age of 22? How long do you expect it will be before Bobby Brown is after authorities to charge Nick Gordon with murder?

    It was back on January 31 that Bobbi Kristina was discovered unconscious in a bathtub at her Roswell, Georgia home. Bobby Brown believed from the start that Nick Gordon was responsible. He never allowed Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina while she was in the hospital, the rehab center that followed, or the hospice where she spent the last month of her life. Gordon was named in a civil lawsuit a couple of weeks ago, alleging he physically and mentally abused Bobbi Kristina Brown, and withdrew money from her bank account without permission.

    Bobbi Kristina was the only child of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. She was estranged from her father for a time, shortly after Whitney Houston’s death in 2012. The two reconciled in the past couple of years and were on good terms.

    The Houston family issued a statement following Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death earlier on Sunday.

    “Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family,” the statement reads. “She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”

    Bobby Brown is no doubt devastated that Bobbi Kristina has passed away. Hopefully a media circus doesn’t make life even more difficult for Bobbi Kristina’s surviving family members in the coming days. They are suffering enough from her untimely passing.

In fact, Bobbi Kristina shared that message via Twitter just days before she was discovered unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell townhouse.

    Is this further proof that Nick Gordon is behind Bobbi Kristina’s present state? Was he jealous that she was moving to L.A. to start a singing career, and leaving him behind?

    Nick Gordon was served with a $10 million civil lawsuit recently that alleges he physically and mentally abused Bobbi Kristina is the days leading up to her discovery in that bathtub. He also withdrew money from her bank account without permission. A sizable withdrawal was made after she was lying in a hospital bed in an induced coma.

    Bobbi Kristina won’t ever live her dream of having a singing career like Whitney Houston. She now lies in a bed at the Peachtree Christian Hospice where a photo of her mom rests beside her.
