    Bobbi Kristina’s family shooting reality show

    Bobby Brown’s family is grieving over the dire circumstances surrounding Bobbi Kristina, and may be shooting a reality show around their travail.

    Sources connected with the production told TMZ that Bobby’s two sisters, brother and their kids are shooting the show about their lives, and part of it will chronicle Bobbi Kristina fighting for her life.

    Bobby’s lawyer told the news medium his client will not appear on the show.

    Bobby’s sisters have a history. Leolah is the one who went on the record blaming Ray J for Whitney Houston’s death, claiming he fatally fueled her cocaine habit.

    Tina is the one who did a sit-down interview and claimed she did crack with Whitney. Tina and Shayne are also the ones who fought at a hotel near the hospital. She hit her son Shayne with a bottle. It’s unclear if that will be on the show.

    It appears that they have not shot video in the hospital, but reports say they have regular debriefs at home on camera where they talk about the tragedy.

  • Four weeks on, Bobbi Kristina still in a coma

    Four weeks on, Bobbi Kristina still in a coma

    BOBBI Kristina is not getting better. She is still unresponsive, in a coma, and showing no signs of getting better.

    Family sources say stories that Bobbi Kristina is being taken out of her coma are not accurate. The only change in treatment, according to sources, is that doctors tried weaning her off certain meds to see if she might react but nothing happened. She’s in the same condition she’s been in for weeks.

    The sources added that there have been signs of organ deterioration but she’s still basically in the same, unresponsive condition she’s been in since a few days after the accident.

    As for the tracheotomy, doctors were said to have performed the procedure not because she was getting better, but because it’s standard operating procedure when a patient might linger in a comatose state for a long period of time.

    Reports say it is possible Bobbi Kristina could hang on for a long period of time in the same state, despite signs of organ failure. It’s ultimately up to Bobby Brown to decide how long she’ll live in that state.

  • Bobby Brown gives Nick Gordon condition to see Bobbi Kristina

    Bobby Brown is calling BS on Nick Gordon for suggesting the family won’t let him see Bobbi Kristina, but observers say when you read between the lines it sounds like there’s a string attached that Nick won’t touch.

    Brown lawyer says, “To address the continued and never ending media requests for comment about Mr. Gordon’s requests to visit Bobbi Kristina, let me be very clear, Mr. Gordon was offered an opportunity to potentially visit Bobbi Kristina and he declined to meet the terms of any possible visit.”

    The lawyer won’t say what “term” Gordon must meet, but it’s pretty apparent. Reports say since there’s a criminal investigation because Bobbi Kristina had visible injuries when she was rushed to the hospital, and Nick is the target of the investigation, Brown may be suggesting that Nick talk to the police.

    The lawyer certainly hinted he wants Nick to sit down with police, saying, “We are only concerned with individuals that can help Bobbi Kristina and bring resolution to the investigation.”

    Despite ongoing investigations, it appears Nick has not been interviewed by police.

    Nick made a public plea Saturday night to allow him in the hospital, claiming he’s the one who can bring his girlfriend back to life, but Brown’s lawyer scoffs, saying, “Obviously Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe.”

    Gordon’s attorney says his client’s legal team advised Nick to reject Bobby Brown’s conditions in order to visit Bobbi Kristina.  He says Nick has repeatedly offered to meet with Bobby in private to clear the air, rather than go through lawyers, but the singer turned Gordon down.

  • Nick Gordon: I can save Bobbi Kristina, but I need to see her

    Nick Gordon: I can save Bobbi Kristina, but I need to see her

    Nick Gordon is making a public plea to let him into his girlfriend, Bobbi Kristina’s hospital room, because he believes his presence could save her life.

    In a tweet, Nick said, “Let me in the hospital to see my girl and let her hear my voice SHE WILL WAKE UP!!!”

    Nick is going public because he’s getting nowhere with the Brown and Houston family. He has been barred from the hospital and several members of the Brown family have threatened physical harm if he shows his face.

    The fallout between Nick and Bobbi Kristina’s family is not unconnected with a criminal investigation which is targeted at the former, because of injuries on Bobbi Kristina’s body when paramedics removed her from her home after she was found submerged in the bathtub.

    Nick is said to be groveling to see her with no luck, and now he is publicly pleading for a visit.

    It will be recalled that members of the Houston and Brown family have accused Nick Gordon of not trying enough to see ailing Bobbi Kristina in hospital, despite being fingered in the latter’s health situation.

    Bobbi Kristina, the only daughter of late music icon, Whitney Houston, was rescued from drowning in her bathtub, and has remained in coma in the last two weeks.

    Gordon’s lawyer, Randall Kessler, says Nick’s efforts to see Bobbi Kristina have been consistently blocked by the family. Kessler adds, “Nick has respected the family’s wishes and for that reason alone has not returned to the hospital and risked a public confrontation.”

    It was said that Bobby Brown’s relatives have threatened to lay “hands on him” if Nick ever shows up.

    Kessler however added that, “He desperately wants to be with the one he loves and continues to hope that his request will be granted.”

    As we previously reported, some of Bobbi Krisitna’s organs are beginning to shut down and doctors say it is only a matter of time.

    Bobbi Kristina is hanging on, but doctors have already advised pulling life support would be a medically sound decision.  Bobby Brown has resisted, believing prayer can work miracles.

  • Bobbi Kristina condition remains unchanged

    Bobbi Kristina condition remains unchanged

    … after three weeks in hospital 

    Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown has been taken off her ventilator and her breathing tube removed as her condition remains unchanged at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, according to a family source.

    According to reports the 21-year-old has been given a tracheotomy to help her continue to breathe. The decision to remove her tube does not mean her family has made a decision about her life support, the source told the newspaper.

    Family on Thursday said Brown’s condition is ‘still critical’ and that the surgical procedure – which opens an airway into the trachea through the neck – was a normal one for coma patients.

    ‘The tracheotomy is a different place for the tube to go,’ the source told said. ‘Everything else remains the same. It’s a waiting game. The family is hoping and waiting.’

    According to the source, the procedure will also reduce the risk of infection.

    ‘She is still critical and we don’t know what the outcome will be,’ the source said. ‘No one is giving up on this kid.’

    However, Bobbi’s father, Bobbi Brown claims the relatives who have been giving media interviews about her medical condition do not have direct knowledge of her treatment.

    Singer Bobby Brown’s attorney asked media outlets on February 13 to stop speaking with family members unauthorized to discuss the condition of his daughter.

    She was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her suburban home last month.

    Few details about the aspiring 21-year-old singer’s condition have been made public. Family members have said she is fighting for her life.

    ‘We continue to request privacy in this matter,’ Bobby Brown said in a statement. ‘We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers.’

    Bobby Brown’s attorney said the relatives giving interviews about Bobbi Kristina Brown are not in communication with her doctors, and in particular asked media organizations to disregard cousin, Jerod Brown.

    The cousin said in an interview with Atlanta TV station WXIA this week that she remained on a ventilator and the family had no plans to remove her from life support.

    ‘This is a criminal investigation and we do not need this side show,’ attorney Christopher Brown, who is representing Bobbi Kristina’s father, said in a statement.

    Jerod Brown was also involved in disputed reports that Nick Gordon, who calls himself the husband of Bobbi Kristina Brown, cannot visit her at the hospital.

    Lawyers for Gordon said the cousin’s contention that Gordon was pursuing legal action to gain access to Brown was false. They said Gordon, who has kept a low profile since Bobbi Kristina Brown was rushed to a hospital, only wants to see her recover.

    ‘He remains in constant prayer for his companion and he hopes to be reunited with her soon,’ lawyers Randy Kessler and Joe Habachy said in a statement on Thursday.

    Police in Roswell, Georgia, are investigating the circumstances leading to Brown’s discovery in the tub on January 31.

    She had been in a car crash four days earlier, according a police report. The SUV she was driving spun out of control and hit a car on January 27, causing extensive damage to both vehicles and sending her passenger and the driver of the other car to the hospital, the report said.

    The other driver was listed in critical condition, police said, and one of Brown’s tires was punctured by a nail and appeared to have blown out.

    Bobbi Kristina: Angry discussions over funeral plans

    •As foul play investigations targets boyfriend

    As the life of late Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, hangs in the balance, the family is discussing funeral plans, even as the Browns are said to be preparing for war, because of the way they were treated when Whitney Houston died.

    Sources connected with the Brown family told TMZ, they are a united front to this extent and will refuse to be disrespected the way they feel they were at Whitney’s funeral.

    It will be recalled that Bobby Brown stormed out of the funeral after security refused to let him sit with Bobbi Kristina during the service. There are indications the feud has already reignited, as the Houston family security set up a perimeter around Bobbi Kristina’s room shortly after she was taken to the hospital and there was a passcode to gain entrance. Many people in the Brown family were not given the code and it caused uproar.

    “If something happens to Bobbi Kristina, we will not be treated like children,” said a member of the Brown family.

    Despite being shunned in these areas, the fate of Bobbi Kristina lies in Bobby Brown’s hand, as he reserves the decision to either continue to keep his daughter on life-support or let her pass away.

    But Bobby Brown was quoted as saying he “can’t pull the plug” that holds Bobbi Kristina’s life, hoping that God will save her.

    Bobby’s feelings are not shared by doctors, who have advised him she will not improve and pulling life-support is an appropriate action. But Brown and his family believe doctors cannot account for miracles, which the family has seen before.

    Meanwhile, a foul play criminal investigation is ongoing, with accusing fingers pointing at Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon.

    Law enforcement sources have said that Bobbi Kristina had certain injuries that have piqued their interest. The suspicion followed a history of violence between Bobbi Kristina and Gordon.

    Police are said to be looking into a possible altercation more than an hour before Bobbi Kristina was found submerged in a bathtub.

    Max Lomas, the friend who discovered Bobbi Kristina in the tub, arrived at around 9am that Saturday. He said he hung out with Nick but did not see Bobbi Kristina. He was told she was in the bedroom. Nick wandered away and Max said he didn’t pay attention to his whereabouts.

    The cable guy showed sometime after 10am and Max said he let him in – Nick was nowhere to be seen. The cable guy said he needed access to the bedroom so Max let him in and discovered Bobbi Kristina in the tub. He screamed for Nick, who ran in and administered CPR.

    Max claimed Nick allegedly cleaned up the home and removed blood stains.

    The police interviewed both Max and Nick and they want to debrief Max again, but law enforcement sources say Max’s lawyer insisted on immunity before he spoke again. As at Friday morning, Max hadn’t gotten immunity or talked to the cops.
