Whitney Houston's natural legacy totally gone, family gears for war
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late superstar Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown, died Sunday at the age of 22, a representative of the Houston family said in a statement. With that, there are no more descendants from the late singer's line of her close and extended family. Bobby Kristina, "Krissie" to her close members, was Whitney's only child.
“Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away Sunday, July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family,” the statement said. “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.”
She was treated in a hospital and then a hospice facility in the nearly six months since she was found unresponsive and not breathing in the bathtub at her Roswell home on January 31 — nearly three years to the day after her mother accidentally drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills, a victim of the vices she had fought for much of her career.
Brown was placed in a medically induced coma, relatives have said. Rumors flew about her condition, with family members and loved ones taking sides in the drama.
In April, her maternal grandmother, Cissy Houston, said Bobbi Kristina had “global and irreversible brain damage.”
“Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me,” Houston said. “We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time.”
The statement was released days after her father and Whitney Houston’s former husband, R & B singer Bobby Brown, told an audience in Dallas, “I can say today, Bobbi is awake. She’s watching me."
Krissie was reportedly scarred upon realising that Nick Gordon, the formerly adopted son of Whitney who became her live-in lover, really don't care for her very much but was rather freeloading his way through life via her money. It was doubly excruciating for her especially as her because apart from feeling backstabbed by Gordon since he is raised by Whitney, her relatives already ostracised her because Whitney left her estate and all that wii accrue to it, to her daughter without leaving all of them anything. Gordon is under investigation for withdrawal of over 11 thousand dollars from Krissie's account while she was hospitalised.
Her depression at Gordon's break-up from her after her purported refusal to give in to his fresh material demands led to her rash decision to stage her death in a similar fashion to Whitney's so she could finally be with the only person who she knew really loved her.
Earlier, someone within the family unsuccessfully tried selling pictures of a dying Krissie to media outlets for a lump sum. But, the approached news agencies refused to even consider a purchase because of the distasteful nature of the proposed transaction.
Recently, Pat, Whitney's sister-in-law and executor of the deceased singer's estate, went to Krissie's home to pack all her belongings in what keen observers say is a preemptive measure at checkmating attempts by greedy relations from carting away valuables from the home.
Now, all eyes will now shift to the settlement of Krissie's estate. She left no heir or will and as the only person who inherited all of Whitney's estate, this process will be highly complicated and hotly contentious. Whitney's brothers, their wives, extended family are poised for war against her mother towards getting huge chunks of the yet-20 million dollar estate.
