Leolah Brown, Bobby Brown’s sister, causes a scene at Bobbi Kristina’s funeral
Shortly after attending the funeral of his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown on Saturday, August 1, R&B star Bobby Brown had to rush his wife, Alicia Etheredge, to the hospital, TMZ reports.
Brown died in hospice care July 26, six months after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her suburban Atlanta home.
Bobbi Kristina’s body will be flown to New Jersey, where a private burial is scheduled for Monday next to her mother’s grave. She never regained consciousness after the incident.
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.
Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon, who has been accused in a civil lawsuit of home violence and theft, was not among the many mourners on the invitation-only service.
There has been an ongoing feud between the two families since Bobbi Kristina was put in a medically induced coma on January 31.
What an very bad weekend it’s been for Bobby Brown. I’ll allege in that they loved one another greatly.
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. The Repast was hosted by aunt Pat Houston.
And although he did not speak Bobby Brown wrote in the funeral program: “I also will always love you” – while a gospel choir the same song that was penned by Whitney Houston. “How dare you?” According to Entertainment Tonight, Perry interceded and escorted Leolah outside.
Her father Bobby was left traumatized and distraught and said in a statement after her death released by his lawyer: ‘Krissy was and is an angel.
A scrum of reporters was waiting outside the church.
Even when there was an outburst from Leolah Brown, Bobbi Kristina’s aunt, the source tells me that it was quickly shut down with the help of producer/director Tyler Perry. “It has just begun”, Leolah told the reporters. “It is not over, it has just begun”.
