Family Feud At Memorial For Bobbi Kristina

Bobbi Kristina’s mother, Whitney Houston, was one of the biggest names in music

TENSIONS are aired publicly at the funeral of Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobbi Brown.
Tensions between the families of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s parents have been aired during a memorial service for the 22-year-old, who died last week.

Mourners gathered in Georgia for the funeral service to remember the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.

But the event, held at St James United Methodist Church, was interrupted by the airing of a long-standing rift between Bobbi Kristina’s famous mother and father.

Leolah Brown, the sister of Bobby Brown, walked out of the church during the service to speak to reporters.

She said she was angry because Pat Houston, the sister-in-law and former manager of Whitney Houston, was addressing the funeral.
“I told her that Whitney is going to haunt her from the grave,” she said.

She added that the feud between the Houstons and the Browns is “just getting started.”

Although the service was closed to the public, scores of onlookers also converged on the area.

Grammy-winning singer Monica and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed were among the mourners at the event held in Alpharetta, a northern suburb of Atlanta.
Bobbi Kristina passed away at a hospice last Sunday following months spent in a medically-induced coma.

Doctors said she suffered irreversible brain damage after she was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her Atlanta home on 31 January.

The incident remains unexplained.

A hearse carrying the coffin was escorted to the church by policemen on motorcycles. It was followed by three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the service and a procession of dozens of cars.

She will be laid to rest next to her mother, who, in eerily similar circumstances, died from accidental drowning in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills, California in 2012.

An initial post-mortem examination this week found Brown suffered no significant injuries and no obvious underlying cause for her death.

The case, which was described as a “drowning” by police, is being reviewed by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.
No criminal charges have been filed; however, a $10m (£6.4m) civil lawsuit filed last month accused Ms Brown’s partner Nick Gordon of causing her life-threatening injuries.

It also accuses Gordon, who was Brown’s adopted brother, of stealing from her bank account while she was in a coma.

In a statement after her death, Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family, said she was “finally at peace”.

“We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months,” she said.  SkyNews
