  • Bobby Brown : Reconciliation With Bobbi Kristina Now Bittersweet

    Bobby Brown has recently returned from California, where he welcomed his baby girl with wife Alicia Etheredge over a week ago. Back in Georgia now, he sits vigil at daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown’s bedside at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth–outside of Atlanta.

    Bobby and Bobbi Kristina weren’t always close. Bobbi Kristina knew some of the issues that sent her father and mom Whitney Houston in opposite directions. Following her mom’s death, she and Bobby Brown had a serious falling out.

    Bobby Brown left Whitney Houston’s funeral when he learned he wouldn’t be allowed to sit with Bobbi Kristina. It took some time to mend fences following that huge display of disrepsect.

    As time went on, Bobbi Kristina realized she really did love and miss her dad, and the two eventually reconciled. How bittersweet that reconciliation must feel to Bobby Brown as he waits and watches for his 22-year-old daughter to die.

    Just over a year ago, things seemed really good between Bobbi Kristina and Bobby Brown.

    “I got a running start! love you daddy! #familyfirst! xxo,” Bobbi Kristina Brown captioned this Instagram photo.

    “HappyHappyFather’sDay,” she captioned this one.

    While the bittersweetness of their reconciliation must punch Bobby Brown in the gut from time to time, it’s surely not as painful as it would have been had the two never made amends.

    Bobby Brown has had the hardest time of all Bobbi Kristina’s relatives admitting that she won’t recover from whatever put her in this devastating condition. He believes his daughter’s boyfriend–Nick Gordon–is responsible. A $10 million civil lawsuit has been filed against Nick Gordon, alleging he physically abused Bobbi Kristina and stole money from her bank accounts.

    Tyler Perry has been extremely supportive of Bobby Brown–from the time he first learned of Bobbi Kristina’s discovery facedown in her bathtub, to recently flying him back to her side from California. Hopefully good friendships like this one with help Bobby Brown through the incredibly painful days that are yet to come.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Not Dead, Hospice Professional Weighs in On End of Life Process

    Bobbi Kristina Brown has been in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta for about a month. On Wednesday rumors swirled that the only child of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had passed away.

    A report published earlier in the month stated that when Bobbi Kristina passed away, a tent would be erected at the back of the hospice facility to ensure privacy for the Brown and Houston families.

    On Wednesday, a white tent was set up at the hospice, and a hearse was spotted backing in under it. That fueled the rumors that Bobbi Kristina Brown had passed away.

    A source close to the Brown and Houston families told Entertainment Tonight–following Wednesday’s erection of said tent–that Bobbi Kristina is “fine.”

    “She is strong,” the source said.

    An expert in hospice care explained on Thursday, however, that this doesn’t mean a miracle is likely to save Bobbi Kristina.

    Jon Radulovic isn’t caring for Bobbi Kristina, but he is a spokesperson for the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. He explained how the end of life process–the body’s means of shutting down naturally–typically works.

    “Hospice professionals are able to pick up on some signs others can’t see,” hesaid. “Imminent death might not look that different from what you would see right now. That can be hard for families — very difficult.”

    He added that it’s not unusual for patients–especially young people–to linger in a hospice facility for well over a month.

    “Even if she had been involved in drugs, she was still a young woman,” Radulovic said. “It’s an inexact science, but especially for someone who’s had more of a traumatic injury than a long debilitating illness, a lot of the functions of the body might still be in very good shape, and it might take longer for the body to naturally shut down.”

    “In a person who may be brain dead, it does not take much for your body to hang on,” he added. “You’re not moving or exerting any energy. The body’s slowly shutting down, but it can do that for a long time.”

    As to media reports that claim Bobbi Kristina Brown could linger in this hospice facility for years, Jon Radulovic says those reports are very misleading.

    “The hope becomes about a peaceful transition for her and that somehow the family might be able to find a path for healing,” he explains. “That isn’t something that can happen overnight or immediately.”

    Radulovic has worked in hospice care for 20 years. He says there’s no chance of Bobbi Kristina coming out of the medical situation she’s in, and that prayer vigils the family holds now are likely for a peaceful passing for their loved one.

    “I have never heard of a patient coming out of that situation,” he says. “Given that the family spent time in cure or rehabilitation mode, it would lead me to believe that would not happen.”

    Of all Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family members, her grandmother Cissy Houston seems the most at peace with her granddaughter’s passing.

    “She’s not gone yet, but you know, whatever the Lord decides, I’m ready for her… I have nothing to do with that. That’s His job. It’s His territory, you know? And I understand it,” Cissy Houston said during an interview about eight weeks ago.

    Cissy Houston is presently unable to travel to the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, but she talks to Bobbi Kristina every day. Daughter-in-law Pat Houston holds the phone up to the 22-year-old’s ear so her grandmother can whisper words of peace and love.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown isn’t dead. She may last another month. She may pass away within hours. As Cissy Houston said, it’s not up to anyone here on earth when that takes place.

    Earlier reports have indicated that the Houston and Brown families will surely issue a statement when the time arrives.

  • Cissy Houston: Can Her Faith Get Her Through Bobbi Kristina?

    Cissy Houston talks to Bobbi Kristina every day. An aunt holds a phone up to the comatose girl’s ear. Cissy Houston’s grand-daughter and only blood link to her already-deceased daughter Whitney Houston lies in Peachtree Christian Hospice in Atlanta. Cissy Houston, a gospel singer and woman of faith, waits.

    Bobbi Kristina has been in hospice since June 24. Back in March, before word came that Bobbi Kristina would never leave a hospice bed alive, Cissy Houston told WBLS she has prayed, asks others to pray, but has left it at that.

    “I give it to God one time, because I know he’s able. And I cannot change a thing,” Cissy Houston said. “I’m asking everybody: Just pray to the Lord who we know can do something about it.”

    “If he works a miracle, thank God,” Cissy Houston continued. “If it happens the other way, I’m all right.”

    Cissy Houston’s faith and peace in this time is reminiscent of how she reacted to the death of her own daughter, Whitney Houston. In a letter she wrote to Whitney and had put in Whitney’s funeral program, Cissy Houston spoke of otherworldly events that took place around Whitney’s death.

    Dearest Whitney:

    The presence of God blessed our home with life, love, joy and peace. You and your brothers were the center of divine love attracting God’s richest blessings. You were a child of God. We had so much love in our home that was truly from on high.

    You always gave without expecting anything in return and our love was the force that multiplied these blessings higher and higher. I never told you that when you were born the Holy Spirit told me that you would not be with me long and I thank God for the beautiful flower he allowed me to raise and cherish for 48 years.

    God said it’s time Nippy; your work is done. The other day on February 11th He came for you. But not without warning. For two months now I have been depressed, crying, lonesome and sad not knowing why.

    On Saturday, before I found out about your transition, my doorbell rang. I went to answer it but there was no one there. It rang again and again, no one was there so I called the concierge to tell him someone was ringing my doorbell. He checked the cameras and told me that no one was there. You promised me you were coming to spend time with me after the Grammys. I believe the spirits allowed you to come after all.

    Rest my baby girl in Peace, you’re now in the arms of Jesus.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Media Coverage Raises Ire of Tyler Perry

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is living out her last days at a hospice facility outside of Atlanta. Reports have run the gamut, with the media stating many things, including that Bobbi Kristina has already passed away. While that certainly isn’t true, it’s hard to tell what the real situation is, and that has seriously raised the ire of family friend Tyler Perry.

    Perry, who recently brought Bobbi Kristina’s father, Bobby Brown, back to Atlanta from L.A., where he welcomed his new baby girl into the world, woke up one day this week thinking of Whitney Houston. Those thoughts prompted him to write something about the media’s reaction to the Bobbi Kristina Brown situation.

    It was via Facebook that Tyler Perry proceeded to share his thoughts.

    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

    “May I ask you all to please show some decency and respect? Not only to Krissi’s family, but also to the other families that are there in this place,” Perry said, alluding to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s hospice facility in Atlanta.

    “It’s heartbreaking to think that even in a time like this, this child is still not allowed any peace,” he added.

    Tyler Perry then assured readers that when Bobbi Kristina passes away, he is certain the Brown and Houston families will issue statements.

    No new reports have emerged about Bobbi Kristina’s condition. When she was moved to the hospice, it was said that her condition wouldn’t improve.

    This means the Brown and Houston families are no doubt playing a waiting game–the saddest kind kind of game there is.

  • Nick Gordon: $10 Million Lawsuit Alleges He Beat, Stole from Bobbi Kristina Brown

    Nick Gordon was served earlier this week with a $10 million lawsuit alleging he not only beat, but also stole from Bobbi Kristina Brown. The suit claims Brown withdrew money from one of Bobbi Kristina’s accounts several days after she was discovered facedown in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home, back on January 31.

    The lawsuit also alleges that Nick Gordon misrepresented his relationship with Bobbi Kristina Brown, convincing many people that he was her husband in order to access her finances. He also reportedly used that ploy in order to control the people with whom Bobbi Kristina associated.

    Nick Gordon allegedly dragged Bobbi Kristina up a flight of stairs by her hair, and hit her–knocking out some of her teeth. Just prior to her being discovered unconscious, she had planned to meet a friend to discuss her concerns about her relationship with Gordon.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown now lies unconscious in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, where family members are sitting vigil at her bedside, awaiting the moment when the 22-year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston draws her last breath. It is uncertain whether Nick Gordon will be charged with murder when that occurs.

    Bobby Brown has refused to allow Nick Gordon to come near his daughter since January 31st. He was not allowed to visit her in the hospital, in the rehab center, nor in the hospice where she is living out her last days.

    Nick Gordon was served with the papers for this lawsuit at a Starbucks in Florida. The suit was filed with the courts by Bedelia Hargrove, a conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown, back in June.

    Do you think Nick Gordon is responsible for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition?

  • Bobbi Kristina: Cissy Houston Prepares as Hearse, Family Arrive At Hospice

    Cissy Houston is said to talk to Bobbi Kristina every day, thanks to an aunt who holds a phone up to the comatose girl’s ear. Cissy Houston’s grand-daughter and only blood link to her already-deceased daughter Whitney Houston lies in Peachtree Christian Hospice in Atlanta where tabloids and paparazzi keep a vigil.

    Bobbi Kristina has been in hospice since June 24, after Cissy Houston and the rest of the family were told there was nothing that could be done for the brain dead Bobbi Kristina.

    News from the hospice grounds came in late Thursday when a tent was erected and two hearses pulled up. Whether they were there for Bobbi Kristina remains to be seen. But there are also reports that two police officials, a lawyer, and various family members have also arrived on the scene. Among them are Bobbi Kristina’s aunt Pat Houston; Pat’s husband and Whitney’s half-brother, Gary; Whitney’s bodyguard Ray Houston; and, Bobby Brown’s older brother Tommy Brown.

    Filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry, a friend of the Houston family, posted a frustrated plea to his Facebook account today about the Bobbi Kristina situation:

    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. 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. May I ask you all to please show some decency and respect? Not only to Krissi’s family, but also to the other families that are there in this place. Not only is Krissi 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 still 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?

  • 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.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Grandmother Cissy Houston Unable to Travel, Whispers in Granddaughter’s Ear by Phone

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is likely nearing her last days on earth, and her grandmother–Whitney Houston’s mom Cissy Houston–is unable to be by her side. Cissy is at home resting due to health conditions, yet she whispers–likely prayers and testaments of her love–in Bobbi Kristina’s ear every day.

    Pat Houston has been by Bobbi Kristina’s side constantly in the past few days. She holds the phone up to her niece’s ear so she can hear her grandmother’s words.

    A tent erected at Bobbi Kristina’s hospice facility outside of Atlanta on Wednesday, as well as a hearse that reportedly backed in underneath said tent, has prompted many to believe the end for Bobbi Kristina is perilously near.

    A new report claims the tent was erected for both Bobbi Kristina Brown’s privacy, as well as for the privacy of others with loved ones at the facility.

    Police officers are also at the hospice, likely guarding the patients there–including Bobbi Kristina and her family–from the media. It is likely that when Bobbi Kristina passes away that a media frenzy could occur.

    Meanwhile Bobby Brown is dealing with both life-affirming and life-ending emotions. As he and wife Alicia Etheredge have welcomed a new baby girl into their world–the couple named her Bodhi Jameson Rein Brown–he is also facing the imminent passing of his 22-year-old daughter he shared with the late Whitney Houston.

    Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend–has been served with a $10 million lawsuit, alleging he not only caused Bobbi Kristina physical harm that may have caused her present condition–but also stole money from her bank accounts. He is in Florida with his mother.

    Hopefully Bobbi Kristina will hear the words her grandmother whispers in her ears daily, and painlessly pass to Heaven where she and her mother will be reunited. Sadly this will leave many family members behind to grieve her untimely death.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Tent and Hearse Spotted Outside Hospice Facility

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is living out her final days in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta. A new development there has caught the media’s attention, but nothing has yet been confirmed.

    On Wednesday, a tent was erected outside the back of the hospice and a hearse was spotted backing into the tent–thereby blocking all views from the media.

    This has many speculating that Bobbi Kristina may have passed away or is perilously close to death.

    How sad for the Brown and Houston families that they have to take such measures to ensure privacy during their darkest days. If this tent and hearse are on hand for Bobbi Kristina Brown, the family is dealing with more than their share of grief. They don’t need onlookers adding to their misery.

    Of course it must be noted that this is a hospice facility. Most–if not all–of the patients there leave via a hearse. It’s the erection of the privacy tent that has many wondering if it’s there for Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    There is another consideration, however. Families with loved ones near death’s door might not want the media snapping pictures of their family member’s body being removed and placed into a hearse, thinking it might be Bobbi Kristina. Her presence likely puts other grieving families in a tough spot, too.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31st. She has never regained consciousness. Her boyfriend Nick Gordon is under investigation for what is expected to be criminal activity. Gordon has been sued by a conservator for Bobbi Kristina.

    Meanwhile Bobby Brown has just welcomed a baby girl into the world with wife Alicia Etheredge. He is no doubt feeling a wide range of emotions as he holds his sweet baby, yet prepares to let his 22-year-old daughter from his marriage to Whitney Houston go.

    If this tent and hearse outside of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s hospice facility is in fact for her, the media will get wind of it soon. In the meantime prayers are surely going out to the Brown and Houston families from near and far.

  • 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.

  • Bobby Brown Saddled With Wide Range of Emotions Brought On By Two Daughters’ Circumstances

    Bobby Brown is experiencing a wide range of emotions–one of them elation and the other a profound sadness no parent should ever have to endure.

    The New Edition singer welcomed a new baby girl this weekend with wife Alicia Etheredge. Another daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, clings to life in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta.

    Bobby Brown left Bobbi Kristina’s bedside several days ago to fly to L.A. so he could be with his wife before she gave birth to their second child. The couple has a five-year-old son, too.

    It was on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles that the newest member of Bobby Brown’s family made her way into the world.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is fading away quietly in her hospice bed, surrounded by as much insanity as loving friends and relatives. A member of Bobby Brown’s family reportedly took a deathbed photo of the only child of the late Whitney Houston and is supposedly shopping it around to major tabloids. So far none of them have taken the bait.

    Bobby Brown’s sister Leolah Brown is irate that the media claims a member of her family took the purported photo. She is even angrier that all members of her family–except for Bobby Brown–have been banned from Bobbi Kristina’s bedside.

    Hopefully Bobby Brown has a good support system of people to help him through these best and worst of times. Sadly, the worst is still yet to come. While it is certainly unknown how much longer Bobbi Kristina will cling to life, it’s likely the end is near.

    Bobbi Kristina has been unconscious since she was discovered facedown in her bathtub back on January 31st. Bobby Brown believes his daughter’s boyfriend Nick Gordon is responsible for her current state.

  • 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: Leolah Brown Says No One from Her Family Took Deathbed Photo

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is still clinging to life in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, while members of her dad’s family are still causing a commotion with every opportunity that arises. Right now the commotion of choice is the Bobbi Kristina Brown deathbed photo that is reportedly being shopped from tabloid to tabloid, and the banning of the Brown family–with the exception of dad Bobby Brown–from Bobbi Kristina’s bedside.

    Leolah Brown–Bobby’s sister and Bobbi Kristina’s aunt–has been one of the more outspoken and seemingly spotlight-starved members of said family, and her latest gripe to reporters is regarding that deathbed photo.

    In a recent post on social media, Leolah Brown is adamant that no one from the Brown family took the deathbed photo.

    “Please know that, that picture that was taken of my niece, Bobbi Kristina was taken when NO other Brown was around her. My brothers KNOW this and we have already determined who we are sure it WAS NOT! And believe me-IT WAS NOT A BROWN!” she wrote.

    Leolah Brown also insinuated that some of the visitors still allowed at Bobbi Kristina’s bedside shouldn’t be there.

    “I knew in my heart this would happen and did MY best to try to keep certain people away and at the same time keep the peace for my niece’s and brothers sake,” she added. “But there is only so much I can do (right now)!”

    And then she indicated her shock and dismay over Bobbi Kristina Brown even being in a hospice facility.

    “I am just as shocked as you are when it comes to the status of my niece, Bobbi Kristina, even being in hospice. To the best of my knowledge, she was getting better!”

    In a local radio interview, however,Leolah admitted that Bobbi Kristina was in dire shape.

    “I am not going to bite my tongue. My niece is laying in hospice right now, dying,” she said.

    How sad it is that the 22-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown is near death in a hospice while members of her dad’s family are seeking not only to profit financially from her condition, but to get their 15 minutes of fame as well.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon, against whom a conservator for Bobbi Kristina recently filed a civil lawsuit, has assembled a top-notch legal team–including the one Casey Anthony used during her murder trail in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony–and has indicated he wants to see Bobbi Kristina one last time before she dies. The suit alleges Nick Gordon physically abused Bobbi Kristina, and withdrew funds from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Some speculate that when Bobbi Kristina passes away that Nick Gordon may be charged with murder.

    Will Bobbi Kristina Brown ever rest in peace–even after she is reunited with mom Whitney Houston? It seems like a fight over her short life will ensue here on earth for a long time to come.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Deathbed Photo Results in Brown Family Being Banned from Hospice

    Bobbi Kristina Brown will take her last breath in a hospice outside of Atlanta. Someone who visited her at that hospice facility took a deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina, and is in the process of shopping it to a number of tabloids. It is believed that the person who took the photo is a member of Bobby Brown’s family. As a result, the Brown family–with the exception of Bobby Brown–has been banned from visiting Bobbi Kristina at the hospice.

    HollywoodLife.com reports that a security team told Whitney Houston’s family they had evidence that a member of Bobby Brown’s family had taken the deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina. The executors of her estate–Bobby Brown and Pat Houston–have since prohibited any additional Brown family members from visiting again.

    The Houston family reportedly knows the name of the person who took the tasteless photo. And even though they know that person aims to profit from Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy, they still won’t divulge who it is.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31st. She has never regained consciousness. Before moving her to the hospice facility, she was flown to Chicago for one last doctor’s exam. Following the exam, doctors told Bobby Brown there was nothing they could do for his daughter.

    It won’t be long before Bobbi Kristina Brown is reunited with her mother, Whitney Houston, who tragically was found in a very similar state as Bobbi Kristina. Whitney, however, had died by the time she was discovered in the bathtub.

    A lawsuit has been filed against Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend–by an executor. The civil suit alleges he physically abused Bobbi Kristina and withdrew money from her bank account without her permission in the days leading up to her tragedy.

    Nick Gordon denies the allegations and is busy assembling a legal team that includes Jose Baez, the attorney who represented Casey Anthony, who was charged with but acquitted of the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony.

    Once Bobbi Kristina Brown passes away, Nick Gordon could be charged with murder. It is likely that Bobby Brown will go after whomever took the deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina then, too.

    How sad that in addition to watching Bobbi Kristina Brown’s life slip away, the Brown and Houston families also have to deal with these additional matters–one that may be criminal in nature, and the other a matter of pure greed.

  • Nick Gordon Desperate to See Bobbi Kristina Brown Before She Passes

    Nick Gordon is reportedly desperate to pay Bobbi Kristina Brown one last visit before she passes away. The only child of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston is in a hospice facility just outside of Atlanta. Family members have gathered to say their goodbyes, and that’s what Nick Gordon wants to do, too.

    Bobbi Kristina has been comatose since she was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home back in January 31st. Bobby Brown wouldn’t allow Nick Gordon to visit her when she was in the hospital or the rehab facility, and he won’t allow him to come to the hospice either.

    Brown is convinced that Nick Gordon is responsible for Bobbi Kristina’s medical state. A conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown filed a civil lawsuit against Gordon on the same day she was moved to the hospice. The lawsuit alleges he physically abused Bobbi Kristina Brown and withdrew funds from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Nick Gordon maintains that none of that is true, and that Bobbi Kristina’s condition is a result of too much illicit drug use. He is reportedly having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that she will soon die and he may not get to see her before that happens.

    “Nick is very concerned with how he is being portrayed in the media and reads everything about himself on every website and magazine,” a source tells Us Weekly. “He’s been going through intense mood swings, going from being on top of the world to crying hysterically for long periods.”

    “Nick’s main concern seems to be seeing Bobbi before she dies,” the source adds. “He’s constantly trying to find a way to make that happen.”

    Do you think Bobby Brown or one of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s other family members will wind up relenting and allowing Nick Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina before she passes away?

    Once Bobbi Kristina dies , there’s a good chance Nick Gordon may be charged with murder.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Boyfriend Nick Gordon Says Drugs Caused Her Health Crisis–He Didn’t

    Bobbi Kristina Brown lies in bed at a hospice outside of Atlanta, as family members surround her and wait for her to draw her very last breath. Meanwhile her boyfriend Nick Gordon is trying hard to make people see his side of things. Gordon claims he isn’t responsible for what happened to Bobbi Kristina. Drugs are instead.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered facedown and unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31st. She has never regained consciousness. Now removed from all forms of life support, she will soon be reunited with her mother, Whitney Houston.

    A conservator for Bobbi Kristina has filed a civil lawsuit against Nick Gordon, alleging that in the days leading up that fateful January day, he not only physically abused her but also withdrew money from her bank account without her permission.

    TMZ reports that Nick Gordon says he will “take people down” if they remove Bobbi Kristina Brown from life support.

    Clearly that didn’t happen. In a phone call recorded by one of Nick Gordon’s family members, he allegedly said the following.

    “I’ll tell you the honest truth, Krissy, she was under a lot of stress and we were all doing drugs and you know, all, all drinking, bro.”

    “She just did too much man. She, listen, listen bro. I will officially stay from bath tubs forever, I’ll tell you that.”

    “When Krissy wakes up she’ll tell the truth to everybody. Everybody will feel stupid as f***… You know Krissy got in an accident 2 days before this happened and the man is in critical condition right now.”

    “If they take her off that life support, the police are going to have to take me down bro.”

    Investigators consider Nick Gordon a “person of interest” in the Bobbi Kristina Brown case.

    Do you think Nick Gordon caused Bobbi Kristina’s present condition–or did drugs, as he stated in his recorded phone call?

  • Leolah Brown: Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Aunt Upset Over Shopped Death Bed Photos

    Leolah Brown is outraged over whomever took photos of niece Bobbi Kristina Brown on her death bed. Those photos are being shopped around to various tabloids for big bucks.

    It is believed that an extended family member took those photos of Bobbi Kristina, as she lay in a hospice outside of Atlanta. Leolah Brown fears the same thing that happened with post-mortem pictures of Bobbi Kristina’s mom, Whitney Houston, will happen to Bobbi Kristina–exploitation, at a time when no one should ever be exploited.

    Both TMZ and Entertainment Tonight confirm they were offered the photos, but no word as to the owner of those photos has emerged. Both publications refused to buy the photos.

    Leolah Brown took to Facebook to express her anger and dismay.

    I'll tell you what! You took that picture thinking you gon get some money for it…and thats gon be it! …guess…

    Posted by Leolah PrayerWorks on Friday, July 3, 2015

    “You took that picture thinking you gon get some money for it…and thats gon be it,” Leolah Brown wrote. “Guess what!????!!!! I will myself if no one else does-see to it that–YOU be revealed!!!”

    Brown–the sister of Bobbi Kristina’s father Bobby Brown–wants everyone who has visited Bobbi Kristina at the hospice facility to undergo a lie detector test. Of course it’s quite unlikely that such a thing will ever happen. Bobby Brown, Pat Houston (Whitney’s sister-in-law), and Cissy Houston (Bobbi Kristina Brown’s grandmother) have more serious things to worry about right now. They are watching and waiting for Bobbi Kristina to draw her last breath.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon is in Florida, assembling a team of legal representatives as he has been sued by a conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown. The civil lawsuit alleged Gordon abused Bobbi Kristina–including pulling her hair and knocking out teeth–and withdrew money from her bank accounts without her permission, in the days before she was found unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell, Atlanta home.

    Hopefully Leolah Brown calms down soon, as there is nothing she can do about the shopped photos of Bobbi Kristina on her death bed. She can surely be of more support to the rest of the family by giving up on revenge and concentrating on what’s most important at this time.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Alleged Death Bed Photo Circulates, Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard Visits Hospice

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition continues to deteriorate as a photo taken of her lying on her death bed is shopped to the tabloids. An extended family member of Bobbi Kristina allegedly entered her room and snapped a photo without the rest of the family knowing.

    Some media outlets have already passed on buying the picture, but others are said to be interested. It’s beyond disgusting that anyone–especially a family member–would try to profit from the tragedy that has befallen Bobbi Kristina Brown. The family is outraged and Bobby Brown’s sister, Leolah Brown, wants every member of the family to take a lie detector test. Of course that is a bit extreme, but so is most anything Leolah says or does.

    Meanwhile, Bobbi Kristina and her family received a visit at the hospice from Whitney Houston’s former bodyguard Ray Watson. Watson was at the Beverly Hilton on that fateful day back in 2012 when Whitney Houston died. He also spoke at her funeral. Watson is the brother of Bobbi Kristina’s aunt and Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law Pat Houston.

    It was just over a week ago that Bobbi Kristina was moved to a hospice outside of Atlanta to live out her days. The family flew her to Chicago a week before the decision was made to end all life-sustaining measures. She was examined by doctors there who determined nothing more could be done to save her life. It was at the insistence of close family friends Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey that she visited doctors there.

    Nick Gordon, who is believed by members of Bobbi Kristina’s family, to be responsible for her present state, is in Florida assembling a legal team to defend him against a civil lawsuit filed by Bobbi Kristina’s executor. The suit alleges he abused her physically and stole money from her in the days before she was discovered unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home.

    As the family gathers to say their goodbyes to Bobbi Kristina, they are no doubt filled with a wealth of emotions. How sad that in addition to preparing to lose a loved one they must deal with a photo of her in her deteriorated state being shopped to the tabloids–and prepare for a lawsuit against the man who purportedly loved Bobbi Kristina Brown.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Lays Dying, Nick Gordon Spotted in Florida

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is slowly slipping away at a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Meanwhile her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, has been recently spotted in Florida, during a rare public outing.

    A lawsuit has been filed, alleging that Nick Gordon assaulted Bobbi Kristina in the hours before she was discovered unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home. Bobby Brown hasn’t allowed Nick Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina since she was first admitted to the hospital back on that fateful day.

    Us Weekly reports that Nick Gordon was spotted on a shopping trip. He wore a white collared sports shirt and jeans–as well as a very somber expression.

    Bobbi Kristina’s aunt, Pat Houston, announced last Wednesday that her niece and only child of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, had been moved to a hospice facility.

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

    In the lawsuit filed against Nick Gordon on June 24th, Bobbi Kristina’s conservator Bedelia Hargrove accused him of dragging Bobbi Kristina upstairs by her hair, withdrawing funds from her bank accounts without authorization, and knocking out her teeth in the hours before she was found in the bathtub. The lawsuit seeks $10 million in damages.

    “No human being, male or female, should endure what Bobbi Kristina endured,” Hargrove said in a statement. “Pat Houston and Bobby Brown have done all they can to take care of Bobbi Kristina since this terrible tragedy occurred. I have worked closely with both of them and we all want the very best for Bobbi Kristina.”

    It was June 24th when Nick Gordon deleted his Twitter account, too, but not before he posted one last message.

    “We keep praying. She has fought hard this long,” he Tweeted. “Don’t give up hope.”

    A relative of Nick Gordon claims he is nothing but a scapegoat in the Bobbi Kristina Brown case.

    Dr. Phil McGraw, who was instrumental in sending Gordon off to rehab, would like to interview him again. Will Nick Gordon go for it? Or is he perhaps being silenced by lawyers since the lawsuit was filed?

    Do you think Nick Gordon is the reason Bobbi Kristina Brown is knocking on death’s door? Might he be arrested for murder when Bobbi Kristina passes away, or do you expect the investigation into his involvement is still ongoing?

  • Bobby Brown: State of Mind Not Good as He Sits Vigil at Bobbi Kristina’s Bedside, New Edition Band Mate Johnny Gill Lends Support

    Bobby Brown has made no secret of the fact that he and his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, had an estranged relationship for quite some time. They had worked hard in the past couple of years to rebuild that relationship, and he expected they’d have a lifetime to make it even better and stronger. Sadly, that day won’t come.

    Johnny Gill is a member of New Edition. He has spent a great deal of time supporting Bobby Brown in recent days, since Bobbi Kristina was moved to a hospice facility.

    “State of mind? In a nutshell, not good. Not good,” Gill said of Bobby Brown. “We just had a conversation yesterday. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.”

    “It was no secret that Bobby and Bobbi Kris had an estranged relationship for a certain period of time,” Gill added. “One Father’s Day, it was a few years back, she called and he was just so over the top and elated that she had reached out. They started from that point to rebuild that part of their relationship.”

    Both the Brown and the Houston families have come together as one during this horrific time. Watching and waiting for a 22-year-old to take her last breath has got to be agonizing. Bobbi Kristina Brown had been in a medically induced coma since she was discovered unconscious in her bathtub back on January 31st. Doctors recently said there is nothing more they can do to help the only child of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. Brown had his daughter moved to a hospice facility last week, to live out her last days with her family by her side.

    A lawsuit has been filed against Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, alleging he assaulted her in the hours before she was discovered in the bathtub. Bobby Brown has not allowed Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina in the hospital, the rehab center, or the hospice facility.

    Kudos to people like Johnny Gill for supporting Bobby Brown. Tyler Perry spent part of Sunday with Brown and the Houston family at Bobbi Kristina’s bedside. These people can’t take away the pain Bobby Brown and the rest of Bobbi Kristina’s family–aunt Pat Houston, grandmother Cissy Houston–are experiencing, but they can convey a sense of togetherness and love.

    Given Bobby Brown’s present state of mind, he desperately needs the support of those he holds dear.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Update: Moved to Hospice, Lawsuit Filed and More

    Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, has been moved to hospice to peacefully leave this world.

    Five months after being found facedown and unresponsive in a tub at the Atlanta-based home, Bobbi Kristina show little improvement from that fateful day on January 31.

    In April, Brown’s grandmother, Cissy Houston said Brown had “global and irreversible brain damage.” While Bobbi Kristina was no longer in a medically-induced coma, she remained unresponsive.

    Police have said they are treating Brown’s case as a criminal investigation. On Wednesday, Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant said the investigation is in the hands of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.

    Meanwhile, a civil lawsuit was filed against Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon, this week. On Wednesday, Brown’s conservator accused her Gordon of assaulting and stealing from Brown and filed the lawsuit in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, alleging that Gordon’s behavior “caused, among other things, substantial bodily harm to Brown.”

    The lawsuit states that Gordon has accessed her accounts and stole more than $11,000 Bobbi Kristina’s hospitalization in January, Gordon accessed her accounts and stole more than $11,000.

    The lawsuit states that just prior to January 31, Bobbi Kristina Brown told someone that Gordon was “not the man she thought he was” and was scheduled to meet that person on January 31, to which she never arrived.

    “Instead, on the morning of January 31, 2015, Brown became embroiled in a loud argument with Defendant at her townhome. 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,” reads the lawsuit.
