Bobbi Kristina was 18 years old when Whitney Houston was found dead in a Beverly Hills Hotel. Shocked by the news, Bobbi Kristina was admitted to the Cedar Sinai Medical Center for stress and anxiety.
Family, friends and even fans of the great singer worried how Bobbi Kristina would cope after the untimely death of her mother. Allegations that Bobbi Kristina had turned to illegal substances and alcohol to deal with the death of Whitney began to surface. “I worry about her in the sense that she lost her mom,” said her aunt Pat in an interview with essence.com. “There’s no privacy for her…I have to be there for her because I know that’s what her mother would want me to do.”
Determined to dispell rumors and speculation about her behavior and emotional state, the Houston family debuted a reality show called ‘The Houstons: On Our Own’. In the show, the world got to see firsthand Bobbi Kristina’s relationship with her family and also revealed what appeared to be an escalating drinking problem for the then-18-year-old.
In 2012 fans were surprised to learn of Bobbi Kristina’s relationship with her close friend Nick Gordon, who until then was believed to have been like an “adopted brother.” Eight months after the passing of Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina announced her engagement to Gordon on her reality TV show, The Houstons: On Our Own. Here the couple are pictured together at the premiere party of the show in New York City.
After vehemently denying rumors that Gordon was her adopted brother, Bobbi Kristina opened up publicly about their relationship and in early 2014 the duo were believed to have secretly married. The announcement caused quite a riff between Bobbi Kristina and her aunt Pat, who filed a restraining order against Gordon in April. After Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive her family announced that she and Gordon were never legally married.
The couple moved to Atlanta where trouble seemed to follow. In 2013, the two were evicted from their apartment after receiving several noise compliants for neighbors. And an unfortunate series of car accidents had family and friends concerned about the stability of Bobbi Kristina’s new life.
In July 2014, a picture was posted to her Instagram account showing Bobbi Kristina using illicit drugs. Although admitting to using drugs in the past, she denied that it was ongoing. However, Bobbi Kristina’s appearance concerned family and friends, who took note of her extreme weight loss. Bobbi attributed her weight loss to a fast metabolism, but skeptics believed an ongoing battle with substances was to blame.
On Saturday, January 31, 2015, 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in the bathtub of her Georgia home. She was rushed to the hospital where she was put in a medically induced coma and never fully regained conciousness. She was later moved to a longterm care facilty but died on July 26, 2015. The tragic death of Bobbi Kristina is all too familiar for fans of late singer Whitney Houston who also experienced an untimely death. We remember Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is survived by her father Bobby Brown, aunt Pat Houston and grandmother Cissy Houston.
