  • Cissy Houston Whispers in Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Ear Daily As Hearse Arrives at Atlanta-Area Hospice

    Cissy Houston is 82 years old, and for health reasons cannot travel from New Jersey to Georgia right now to be by her dying granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s side. That doesn’t stop the mother of the late Whitney Houston from whispering in Bobbi Kristina’s ear everyday, however, as the situation grows bleaker by the hour. A hearse arriving on scene at the hospice and a tent erected, under which the hearse backed in, leaves onlookers fearing the end is perilously near.

    Pat Houston, Cissy Houston’s daughter-in-law, has remained at the hospice with Bobbi Kristina almost constantly in recent days, and she holds the phone up to the unconscious 22-year-old’s ear while her grandmother whispers to her. While no one knows what Cissy Houston says to Bobbi Kristina, she is a woman of strong Christian faith, and is likely sharing the promise of better days to come and the imminent reunion with her mom Whitney Houston in Heaven.

    Cissy Houston has long had the most practical outlook on the situation with Bobbi Kristina. In an interview back in March, Cissy said she knows Bobbi Kristina’s fate is in God’s hands, and therefore she feels secure in his wisdom.

    “I give it to God one time, because I know he’s able, and I cannot change a thing,” Cissy Houston said back in March. “So I’m asking everyone to pray to the Lord, who we know can do something about it.”

    Bobbi Kristina Brown has remained unconscious since she was discovered facedown in her bathtub back on January 31st. Cissy Houston experienced the death of her own daughter–Whitney Houston–in an eerily similar manner. Nick Gordon is under investigation for what happened to Bobbi Kristina, and has been served with a $10 million lawsuit, alleging he abused Bobbi Kristina and stole money from her. Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina’s father, hasn’t allowed Nick Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina’s bedside–not in the hospital, nor the rehab center, nor the hospice facility where the family now sits vigil.

    In the meantime Cissy knows what she can give Bobbi Kristina–and that’s her love and comfort–even if it’s only over the phone, with help from Pat Houston. As long as Bobbi Kristina feels her grandmother’s tenderness during her last days, Cissy Houston knows the rest is in God’s hands.

  • Bobby Brown Returns to Atlanta With Tyler Perry, Welcomed Bodhi Brown–Waits for Bobbi Kristina’s Last Breath

    Bobby Brown returned to the Atlanta-area hospice bedside of his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown on Thursday, along with close friend Tyler Perry. Perry arranged for his private jet to fly the two men from California, where Bobby Brown welcomed his baby girl, Bodhi Brown, into the world a week ago. What a mixed bag of emotions he is surely feeling as he rejoices in the birth of one daughter, yet waits for another to to take her last breath.

    Tyler Perry visited with members of the Houston family as he joined them sitting vigil at Bobbi Kristina Brown’s bedside on Friday. This is just one of several times the actor has visited with Bobbi Kristina and lent his support to Bobby Brown since this tragedy occurred.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown has remained unconscious since she was discovered in her bathtub back on January 31. Bobby Brown has refused to allow her boyfriend to visit her. Nick Gordon has been served with a $10 million civil lawsuit. That suit alleges her physically abused Bobbi Kristina and withdrew money from her bank accounts without permission. One such withdrawal took place after she was discovered unconscious, and was lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life.

    Bobby Brown feels certain Nick Gordon is responsible for what happened to Bobbi Kristina. An investigation is ongoing, and it’s uncertain whether Gordon might be charged with murder when Bobbi Kristina passes away.

    Imagine for one moment walking in Bobby Brown’s shoes. One second he relishes the joy of a new baby girl–born just over a week ago. And then reality forces him back inside that hospice facility, to the bedside of another daughter, who is slowly dying at the age of 22.

    It’s clear that Bobby Brown desperately needs friends like Tyler Perry in his life right now. Hopefully that friendship will not only sustain him through the coming days, but in the days after Bobbi Kristina passes away, too.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Tyler Perry Brings Bobby Brown Back to Atlanta and Her Hospice Bedside

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is living out her last days in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, and yesterday Tyler Perry brought Bobby Brown back to her bedside.

    Bobby Brown had been in California by wife Alicia Etheredge’s side as they welcomed their daughter Bodhi into the world. Just a week after welcoming one daughter into the world, however, he faced a harsh reality as he returned to Atlanta to watch another one die.

    Tyler Perry, who visited Bobbi Kristina weeks ago and again on Friday, arranged for his private jet to fly him and Bobby Brown to Atlanta. Perry also penned a letter on Facebook asking both fans and the media to respect all the Brown and Houston families are experiencing as they await the passing of Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    This morning I woke up with Whitney on my mind. I couldn’t help but think about all that she must have dreamed for her…

    Posted by Tyler Perry on Friday, July 17, 2015

    “This morning I woke up with Whitney on my mind. I couldn’t help but think about all that she must have dreamed for her child. I know this was not her dream…and as difficult as this time is for the people that love both Whitney and Krissi, what makes it more egregious is the blatant disrespect, lies, and ignorance that are rapidly printed in this awful time,” he wrote.

    “For some reason, it has become human nature in our society to look for, seek out, and celebrate darkness, glory in tragedy, and enjoy reading and reporting it. It makes me sad to know that everybody wants to be the first to report something awful. So much so, that they find it OK to speak death onto those who are still alive,” he continued.

    Tyler Perry closed by asking everyone to pray for and respect both Bobbi Kristina and her family.

    “May I ask you all to please show some decency and respect? Not only to Kriss’s family, but also to the other families that are there in this place. Not only is Kriss at the center but there are several other families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones at the same time. It’s heartbreaking to think that even in a time like this, this child is not allowed any peace. I assure you, the family will issue an official statement if something changes. Until then, can we just pray for Krissi, and the Houston and Brown families?”

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in a bathtub inside her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31st. She has never regained consciousness. Nick Gordon, her boyfriend, has been served with a $10 million lawsuit that alleges he physically abused Bobbi Kristina in the days leading up to this tragedy, and that he may be responsible for the state she is presently in. The suit also alleges that Nick Gordon withdrew money from her bank account without her permission.

    Bobby Brown is no doubt grateful to have a friend like Tyler Perry by his side as he prepares for the inevitable–the passing of his daughter Bobbi Kristina. Even though no one can erase the hurt he does and will continue to feel, there is comfort in having someone who truly cares standing close by.

    Hopefully once Bobbi Kristina Brown is gone, her dad will take solace in the new little girl he welcomed into this world just over a week ago.

  • Cissy Houston Revisiting Whitney Houston Tragedy With Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Death Looming

    Cissy Houston is likely recalling the day she learned her daughter, Whitney Houston, was found dead in a hotel bathtub as she faces the imminent passing of her granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. How could this 81-year-old woman not think of both scenarios when they are so eerily similar?

    Sadly, health issues are preventing Cissy Houston from being by Bobbi Kristina’s side during her last days, but that hasn’t prevented this grandmother from sharing her love with the 22-year-old.

    Thanks to Pat Houston–Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law–Cissy Houston speaks to Bobbi Kristina every day. Pat holds the phone up to Bobbi Kristina’s ear as Cissy talks–sharing her love and probably her faith, too.

    Cissy Houston is a devout Christian, and has long believed God is in control of what happens to Bobbi Kristina.

    “I don’t pray like that. I give it to God one time, because I know he’s able, and I cannot change a thing,” Cissy Houston said back in March. “So I’m asking everyone to pray to the Lord, who we know can do something about it.”

    A hearse and a white tent have appeared at the hospice facility outside of Atlanta where Cissy Houston’s granddaughter is living out her last days. It is expected that both are there to protect the family’s privacy in the wake of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s passing.

    Dad Bobby Brown was away from his daughter’s bedside for several days to welcome the arrival of his baby girl Bodhi. Alicia Etheredge gave birth just days ago. Bobby was flown back to Atlanta Thursday, courtesy of Tyler Perry and his private plane, so he can resume his vigil at Bobbi Kristina’s bedside.

    Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, has been served with a $10 million lawsuit in recent days, alleging that he caused physical harm to Bobbi Kristina Brown, in addition to withdrawing money from her bank accounts without permission. One such withdrawal took place after Bobbi Kristina was discovered unconscious in her Roswell, Georgia home, from which she has never regained consciousness. It’s uncertain if Nick Gordon will be charged with murder after Bobbi Kristina dies.

    Hopefully Cissy Houston’s strong faith is sustaining her during these trying days. As she speaks of love and faith via phone to Bobbi Kristina Brown, she is likely reminding her granddaughter that she will one day soon be reunited with her mother. It must be heartbreaking for Cissy, as she relives at least some of what she experienced when Whitney Houston died.

  • Nick Gordon: Bobbi Kristina Brown Boyfriend Officially Served With $10 Million Lawsuit

    Nick Gordon, the boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown, has been officially served with a $10 million lawsuit on behalf of the 22-year-old. The suit alleges that Gordon both physically abused Bobbi Kristina Brown and withdrew money from her bank accounts in the days before she was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. She never regained consciousness, and is now in a hospice facility living out her final days.

    It was at a Starbucks in Longwood, Florida that Nick Gordon was served.

    The New York Daily News reports Gordon was just leaving the coffee shop when a process server handed him a large manila envelope.

    “What was that?” a bystander was heard asking, as Nick Gordon sat down outside of Starbucks.

    “I have no idea,” he replied.

    The lawsuit, which was filed by Bobbi Kristina Brown’s conservator Bedelia Hargrove, claims Nick Gordon caused “substantial” harm to Bobbi Kristina. It cited an incident during which he punched her in the face, “knocking out a front tooth and (dragged) her upstairs by her hair.”

    It also claims Nick Gordon was very controlling of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter. He regularly answered her cell phone and wouldn’t allow her to make appointments or plans without his permission.

    On the day she was discovered unconscious she had plans to meet up with a friend. She had earlier told the friend that Nick Gordon was “not the man she thought he was.”

    Instead of meeting her friend that day, she and Nick Gordon got into what neighbors called an “explosive argument.”

    “The loud argument ended and Brown was later found unresponsive and unconscious, face down in a bathtub, with her mouth swollen and another tooth knocked out,” the complaint reads.

    After Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered unconscious and hospitalized–in a medically induced coma–Nick Gordon withdrew another $11,000 from her bank account.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown has been near death in a hospice facility for three weeks. No one knows how much longer she will hold on. A recent report on Nick Gordon stated he wanted to see Bobbi Kristina one last time before she passes away.

    It’s highly unlikely that anyone–not Bobby Brown nor members of Whitney Houston’s family–will allow that to happen.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon has known this lawsuit was in the works. He has been assembling a legal team that includes Jose Baez. Baez represented Casey Anthony in her daughter Caylee Anthony’s murder trial. Casey Anthony was acquitted.

  • Bobbi Kristina: Dad Bobby Brown Welcomes One Daughter, Waits for Another to Die

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is living out her last days in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, while her dad Bobby Brown experiences a range of emotions so vast it’s nearly unfathomable. The New Edition singer has welcomed a new daughter into the world with wife Alicia Etheredge as he waits for another daughter to die.

    Alicia Etheredge gave birth to her second child with Bobby Brown on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. They also have a five-year-old son named Cassius.

    Bobby Brown left Bobbi Kristina’s bedside and was in L.A. in time to be with Alicia before their daughter made her way into the world.

    Bobbi Kristina has hovered near death’s door since being moved from a rehab facility to the hospice a couple of weeks ago. She has been removed from all forms of life support but appears to be hanging on.

    It was back on January 31st that Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. She has never regained consciousness. A trip to a Chicago hospital prior to the move to hospice assured family members there is no brain activity and no chance that Bobbi Kristina will recover.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend and the young man raised alongside her by Whitney Houston–has assembled a legal team to represent him in a civil lawsuit filed by a conservator on behalf of Bobbi Kristina Brown. The lawsuit alleges that in the days prior to Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy he physically abused her and withdrew money from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Gordon has retained Jose Baez as one of his attorneys. Baez represented Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her toddler, Caylee Anthony.

    Nick Gordon, of course, denies these allegations and maintains his only wish is to see Bobbi Kristina one more time before she passes away.

    Yes, the range of emotions Bobby Brown is experiencing right now is vast. The joy of welcoming one daughter into the world while waiting for another to take her last breath is something no father should ever have to endure.

    How sad that Bobbi Kristina will never know her new half-sister.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Tyler Perry Joins Family at Her Hospice Bedside

    Bobbi Kristina Brown received a visit from Tyler Perry on Sunday, as he joined family members at her bedside in a hospice outside of Atlanta. Bobby Brown, Cissy Houston, Pat Houston, and more have kept a vigil at her bedside since she was moved there last week.

    Tyler Perry has long been a friend of the Brown and Houston families. He arrived at the hospice facility in his Rolls Royce and stayed in Bobbi Kristina’s room for several hours. This isn’t the first time Perry has come through for the family either. When Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious and admitted to a local hospital, back on January 31st, Tyler Perry loaned his private plane for Bobby Brown’s use to fly to Georgia to be by his daughter’s side.

    Back in February, Oprah Winfrey talked about the bond between Tyler Perry and the family of Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    “Tyler has been really close to the family,” Winfrey said. “Tyler was really supportive of Whitney when she had her troubles–he intervened and tried to help her–and I know that he’s been instrumental in trying to help Bobbi Kristina, too.”

    The Brown and Houston families need all the support they can get right now as they sit vigil by Bobbi Kristina’s bedside, waiting for her body to shut down. It has to be a desperate feeling to watch one so young at the end stages of her life.

    Bobby Brown has long believed Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend–is somehow responsible for his daughter’s present state. An investigation into his involvement in the situation is said to be ongoing.

    Tyler Perry likely stopped by Bobbi Kristina’s bedside to say goodbye. Pat Houston said on the day that she was moved to the hospice facility that doctors had done all they could do for the 22-year-old.

    It certainly sounds like Bobbi Kristina will be reunited with her mother, Whitney Houston, before much longer.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Moved to Hospice, Lawsuit Alleges Nick Gordon Physically Abused Her, Stole from Her

    Bobbi Kristina Brown Moved to Hospice, Lawsuit Alleges Nick Gordon Physically Abused Her, Stole from Her

    Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved to a hospice facility, and her fate is in God’s hands. In an statement to ET, Pat Houston–the late Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law, and one the executors of Bobbi Kristina’s estate–thanked those who have prayed for her niece.

    “Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate,” she said. “As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God’s hands now.”

    Hospice care doesn’t hasten death. It provides what is known in the medical community as ‘end-of-life’ services. A team of caregivers–including a mix of physicians, nurses, grief counselors, clergy and volunteers–work together to provide these services and keep the patient comfortable as the body goes about the natural process of shutting down.

    Another source close to Bobbi Kristina Brown reported on Wednesday that the 22-year-old’s organs were failing, and that she has stopped receiving all medications. That may include all artificial sources of nutrition and hydration, too.

    In another very disturbing report, a lawsuit filed by another of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s conservators on Wednesday claims that Nick Gordon both physically abused Bobbi Kristina and stole thousands of dollars from her. Nick Gordon was among the people to first discover Bobbi Kristina Brown unconscious in her bathtub nearly five months ago.

    The court-appointed conservator, Bedelia Hargrove, filed the lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court on Wednesday, June 24. In the court documents, Nick Gordon, 25, is accused of controlling Bobbi Kristina Brown by limiting who she could interact with. The lawsuit claims “Gordon often answered her cell phone, would not allow her to make appointments without his approval, and manipulated her bank relationship so that he could access her money.”

    “This was all part of a scheme to benefit from her wealth,” the court papers read.

    The lawsuit also accuses Nick Gordon of domestic violence, which includes “punching [Bobbi Kristina Brown] in the face, knocking out a front tooth, and dragging her upstairs by her hair.”

    Is it possible that Nick Gordon will be charged with the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown once she passes away in hospice care?

    Sources close to the both Bobby Brown and Pat Houston say her death could come at any time now.

    It’s tragic that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s life may soon be over. Her family has no doubt prolonged the inevitable by keeping her on life support for all these months, but who can blame them for trying and holding on to hope?

    Whitney Houston’s mother–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s grandmother–Cissy Houston, has had the most realistic outlook about Bobbi Kristina for the duration of this tragedy.

    “Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me. We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time. Keep us in your prayers,” she said back in April.

    Prayers are no doubt with Cissy Houston, as well as the entire family, as they wait and watch for Bobbi Kristina Brown to die.
