    Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend turns violent during interview

    Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend turned violent during an interview session with the famous Dr Phil.

    Gordon who was high on drugs and alcohol turned violent after he realized that the supposed interview was an intervention.

    Witnesses at the Atlanta hotel where the interview held say he was so intoxicated he couldn’t stand up and had to be pushed on a luggage cart from the lobby to interview room.

    Gordon’s mother, Michelle has staged an intervention with Dr. Phil and made it seem it was an interview.

    According to reports, during the first part of the interview, Gordon broke down into tears and screamed  “I miss Krissy and Whitney, so much. I hate Bobby Brown.”

    However, when Dr. Phil turned the question to his alcoholism and addiction, he realized that the supposed interview was an intervention, Gordon turned violent, stormed out of the interview, and allegedly punched two staff of the show.

    During the “interview”, Gordon was so intoxicated that he could barely sit up and was muttering incoherent words. Gordon’s mother did all the talking and told Dr. Phil that her son was addicted to booze and Xanax, a drug used to treat anxiety ad panic disorder caused by depression.

    Gordon also threatened to kill himself if Bobbi Kristina’s condition will not improve. The daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston has remained in a medically induced coma for more than a month now.

    During the last weeks, Gordon has been exchanging angry words with BobbyBrown over social media, after he was banned from visiting Bobbi Kristina because he refused to cooperate with the police. Gordon is reportedly a subject of criminal investigation due to questionable injuries Bobbi Kristina is believed to have sustained shortly before being found face down in her bathtub.

    Bobbi Kristina is still in an induced coma at the Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital.

     

  • 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.

  • Bobby Brown reveals wife is pregnant, as fears grow on losing Bobbi Kristina

    Bobby Brown reveals wife is pregnant, as fears grow on losing Bobbi Kristina

    Somehow, RnB singer, has revealed to his grieving family, that wife, Alicia Etheredge, is pregnant, as they deal with the prospect of losing his only daughter by late singer, Whitney Houston.

    Alicia is said to be four months pregnant; something he hadn’t shared with many of his relatives until now. Critics say the timing is awful, but the situation couldn’t be hidden as they keep vigil in the hospital waiting rooms, for Bobbi Kristina, whose brain function has perilously diminished.

    There had been a feud between Bobby’s family and Whitney’s, but report says, so far, Alicia is handling it well.

    The two families were said to be bickering over who gets access to the part of the hospital where Bobbi Kristina is currently receiving treatment.  As one source put it, “The Houston family is sick of the Brown family acting up, as they always do.”

    A somber Bobby Brown showed up at Emory University Hospital, Wednesday, to visit his Bobbi Kristina, but refused to answer questions about his daughter’s condition. But there were indications her brain swelling went down and her eyes showed some movement. However, doctors say they can’t predict the outcome since she was without oxygen for two to five minutes as she lay face down in her bathtub.

    Bobbi Kristina was transferred to Emory, Tuesday, because the hospital is renowned for treating brain injuries.

    Meanwhile, there have been thoughts over the inheritance of Bobbi Kristina, should she pass away, with Bobby Brown claiming his daughter was never married to Nick Gordon.

    “Bobbi Kristina was never ever Mrs. Nick Gordon,” said Brown. And according to his attorney … “Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon.” For once, the Houston family agrees with Bobby Brown, saying, there are no legal documents that would allow Gordon to get any of the Whitney Houston fortune Bobbi Kristina inherited — if she passes.

    The fake marriage revelation flies in the face of several statements Bobbi Kristina and Nick both made on camera last year.

    Bobbi Kristina, who was 19-year-old when Whitney died in 2012, became inconceivably richer, because the singer left her with 100 percent of her assets in her will … an estate valued at around $20 million.

    According to reports, Whitney’s will doesn’t enumerate specific assets — but she left all furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars to her surviving child.

    According to reports, Houston’s money will be put in a trust — which Bobbi will have access to in stages and earn a portion when she turns 21, another chunk when she turns 25, and the rest when she turns 30.

    The will was signed in 1993, a month before she gave birth to Bobbi.
