Late outburst mars Bobbi Kristina Brown funeral
It’s hardly surprising he wasn’t welcome-considering he is now at the center of a full blown murder enquiry, as the circumstances around Bobbi Kristina’s falling into the coma that led to her death are fully investigated.
This is only the latest in a slew of family tragedies after Bobbi Kristina passed away on July 26 at age 22 after months of fighting for her life. After Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in a bathtub in January, Leolah started publicly blaming Pat.
Several celebrities showed up for the funeral including filmmaker Tyler Perry, Grammy-winning R&B singer Monica and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
The drama then continued when Alicia Etheredge, wife of Bobbi Kristina’s father Bobby Brown, was rushed to hospital hours after the funeral suffering from a seizure, according to TMZ.com. I’m begging you to please put your differences aside and allow me this chance. I’ll allege in that they loved one another greatly. May God bless you both and heal your hearts.
Controversy has surrounded the funeral after Pat was said to have specifically requested the service should have a “sweet 16” theme, angering Bobbi Kristina’s godmother Dionne Warwick who reportedly threatened to boycott the funeral.
Singer Whitney Houston, right, sings with her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown during a performance for “Good Morning America” in Central Park on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 in New York. Leolah supposedly yelled during the private service, according to People.
A scrum of reporters was waiting outside the church.
“I told her that Whitney is going to haunt her from the grave”, Leolah told the press, which had assembled outside the memorial event. “It is not over, it has just begun”. “It has just begun”. And a feud erupted over whether or not Gordon might go to Bobbi Kristina whereas she stayed in the hospital.
So all in all just your average mournful funeral service/inter-family throwdown. Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law and former manager was also there. She is a Garland not a Houston. He was slapped with a $40 million civil lawsuit for allegedly stealing from Whitney Houston’s daughter and for domestic abuse.
