Whitney Houston

by

After months in hospital, Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Brown has been moved from hospital into hospice care, as he health continues to worsen.

A statement from the Houston family was released to the media today via the newsgathering outlet Associated Press. "Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate," read the message from Bobbi's aunt Pat Houston.

"As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God’s hands now.”

It is believed that the 22-year-old has been taken off life support and all medications helping to keep her alive, and that her organs are now failing. Bobbi has not regained consciousness since she was discovered face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in Atlanta, Georgia at the end of January.

This is the first time Bobbi's family have made an official statement about her condition in months, despite constant unfounded rumours that the young singer was either getting better or getting worse. On numerous occasions her death was also wrongly reported in the media.

Back in March, Bobbi's father Bobby Brown told crowds at a public appearance in Texas that his daughter was "awake" and "watching" him, although he later became clear he did not mean the statement literally. The R&B star, who was married to Whitney Houston for 14 years, was said to be pushing for Bobbi to be kept on life support, though other family members had different wishes.

Bobby and Pat were appointed co-guardians of the tragically ill singer last month. The bad news comes three years after Whitney herself died following a similar incident.

The music icon was discovered submerged in a bathtub at the Beverly Hills Hilton in February 2012, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Despite the ongoing feud that has been raging between the Browns and the Houstons, Bobby Brown has come to the defence of his ex-sister-in-law, Pat Houston.

The 46-year-old father of Bobbi Kristina has denied sensational claims made by his sister, Leolah Brown, that Pat wanted her niece to die, because the cost of keeping her alive was dipping into Pat’s inheritance.

Sources close to Mr Brown told TMZ that “Bobby claims Leolah is making it all up and hasn’t even been around his daughter – so she has no idea what Pat’s feelings are about Bobbi Kristina’s condition.”

Leolah posted to her Facebook page earlier this week to bash Bobbi Kristina’s co-guardian.

"If Pat knew The God that I know, instead of trying to inherit my niece’s money for her personal gain, she would mind her own business and go find A JOB for herself without continuously working so hard to destroy my niece.”

Despite the two families disagreeing on the best course of action for the daughter of the late Whitney Houston, the source says that Bobby is furious and Leolah’s sensationalist claims have gone way too far.

Could Bobby sticking up for Pat signal the start of a possible reconciliation between the two families?

As the heart-breaking story continues, the fate of Bobbi Kristina has yet again become unclear. 

Her mother's and father's families, the Houstons and the Browns, have been at war over the particulars of her medical treatment – and it seems they are no closer to making any firm decisions about her future.

"Bobbi Kristina remains completely unresponsive. She cannot communicate," a Houston family source told PEOPLE.com today.

"The heartbreak and the pain we feel in seeing her that way is beyond words."

However, they added – likely in response to Brown family criticisms, that "no one is trying to pull the plug. No one is saying goodbye." 

In March, the 22-year-old was moved from hospital to an Atlanta rehab facility for longer-term care. 

The Browns say she has even been removed from life-support – however, she remains unresponsive to her surroundings. She also requires a breathing tube, which was inserted into her neck three months ago. 

It seems that the Houstons want to restrict medical intervention so that she can die in peace, but the family of Bobbi Kristina's father are adamant that improvements in her condition have been noted, and that she may yet regain consciousness. 

Just days ago, reports were circulated that the daughter of Whitney Houston was being taken home so she could die in peace.

However, this has now been vehemently denied, with Bobbi’s aunt, Leolah Brown, condemning Pat Houston, Bobbi’s co-guardian.

Leolah revealed this week that the only child of the late Whitney does not require life-supporting machinery, and that she seems to be getting better.

“Bobbi Kristina Brown is not on life support anymore… and is continuing today to improve,” she stated in a Facebook post.

She continued: “And we will never give up on her. Hell no! Not one Brown!”

Leolah even sensationally claimed that Pat only wants Bobbi to die for her own personal gain.

“If Pat knew The God that I know, instead of trying to inherit my niece’s money for her personal gain, she would mind her own business and go find A JOB for herself without continuously working so hard to destroy my niece.”

Pat, 55, has yet to respond.

Bobbi Kristina was found face down and unresponsive in a bath tub on January 31. It is believed that her doctors are of the opinion that she has suffered extensive and irreversible brain damage.

The family of Bobbi Kristina Brown have reportedly accepted that she will not regain consciousness. It is believed that the brain damage she suffered six months ago is simply too extensive to ever see her recover. 

The 22-year-old was found unresponsive in a bathtub on January 31. 

Now, in breaking news, it is being suggested that her family are finally eager to bring her home so she can die in peace.

The Mirror says that she could shortly be brought back to the Georgia townhouse she once shared with her late mother, Whitney Houston.

"That was her home and her mum’s home. If they can bring her back it would be great," a hospital source told Radar Online last month.

“Let her be home and surrounded by beautiful photos of her mum," they added. "It’s as good as it gets in such a bad situation.”

The website says that the young woman's aunt and uncle, Pat and Gary Houston, are particularly keen to let her die in peace, and that they have already begun preparing the house for her arrival.

However, other family members are less convinced that her musician father will so easily go along with their plans.

"Bobby is never going to take her off life support," a further source told People. 

Whitney Houston drowned in her bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel on February 11, 2012. She was 48. A postmortem later revealed that heart disease and cocaine abuse were contributing factors to her death.

Bobbi Kristina was the sole-benefactor of her mother's estate, and is now worth €18m. The sum is relatively paltry given Whitney's huge international successes over a career spanning almost 30 years, however, the singer was thought to have struggled financially towards the end of her life.

Morgan Carey hasn't spoken to his sister in two years. Still, he claims that he has never seen her sober and he worries she is going to “die like Whitney Houston”.

Rumours of the 45-year-old suffering from depression and alcohol dependency have surfaced before, particularly last summer around the time she split from husband, Nick Cannon, 34.

Speaking to the National Enquirer, the star’s younger brother said that he feels Mariah is not fit to look after her four-year-old twins because of her substance abuse issues. He also claimed that she is taking a number of medications on a daily basis.

“Mariah was drinking through her pregnancy, even while she was nursing… I can’t say that I have ever been around her when she was sober, and that’s very scary. “

This is not the first time one of Mariah’s siblings have spoken out in the media.

Her 53-year-old estranged sister, Alison, has also talked to the media on a number of occasions. Most recently, Alison spoke to Star magazine in January – at the same time that Nick was filing for divorce from Mariah after six years of marriage.

Alison, who is a former prostitute and has a history of drug abuse, told the magazine that she was reaching out to her younger sibling, and that she did not want money – despite Mariah being worth some €450m.

She added that she was desperate to meet her niece and nephew and that she wants her famous sister to love her again.

“There’s been a lot of water under the bridge. I’ve done things that were wrong. She’s done things that were wrong.

“But I’ve reached out to her many, many times through the years in every way I could think of to try and ask for her forgiveness and see if we could start over. We are the only sisters each of us will ever have.”

Alison, who has been living with HIV since 1988, has also said she is broke and is struggling to support her two children. 

However, according to a 2006 statement from Mariah’s rep, the superstar is “looking for Alison to want to help herself”.

“Mariah can be there with love and support,” the rep added, “but at what point do you not enable someone any longer?”

Her rep furthermore said that Mariah has paid for rehab on a number of occasions for Alison.

It is not known why or when Mariah and her brother Morgan became estranged.

Morgan is also clearly not a fan of his sister’s ex, calling Nick “a crock of s***” and saying that he was only ever interested in her money.

“Nick was there for the cash from day one. He doesn’t give damn about Mariah.” 

When the siblings' parents divorced in the early Seventies, Mariah and Morgan remained with their mother, Patricia, while Alison went to live with their father, Alfred.

Rumours have been circulating that Bobbi Kristina’s guardians, her father Bobby Brown and her aunt Pat Houston, have been preparing to take the 22-year-old off of life support.

Bobbi, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston, was found unresponsive and face down in the bathtub early in January this year and has been in hospital ever since.

Earlier this week, Bobbi's cousin Jerod Brown posted a status on his Facebook page urging the public to pray for his cousin and her father, something which many took as an indication a big decision was about to be made about Bobbi's future.

“I’m asking the world, every nation, every culture, every race, every human being to continue to speak life on my uncles daughter Bobbi Kristina and also send out a special prayer request for my uncle Bobby… PLEASE!!!” he wrote.

The message then urged people to support Jerod's uncle uncle during this tough time. It was accompanied by the hashtags #PrayForBK and #PrayForBobby and a final one with his own brand name #MembersOnlyElite – a little off topic, no? 

Jerod recently used the hashtag #GetReadyBK which has further sparked rumours that the aspiring actress is about to be taken off life support.

However, a source close to the family told People that Bobby would “never” make a decision like that about his daughter as long as there was a chance she could get better. “Bobby hears these reports and it’s annoying to him. He hates that people are just waiting for his daughter to die,” the source told the magazine.

Rumours have also been circulating that Bobbi’s long-term partner, Nick Gordon, may have been involved in her accident and that this is why the family don’t want to make any snap decisions about her health. 

The 25-year-old has been totally refused access to see Bobbi by her family, and Nick’s lawyers released a statement recently alleging that Bobby Brown has "consistently prohibited Nick, who Bobbi Kristina would want by her side, from being there.”

According to a recent report from Reality TV Magazine, Bobbi's family has not budged on their decision to keep Nick away, despite constant requests from his lawyers.

No charges have yet been brought to Nick, who recently completed a stint in rehab linked to his increased substance abuse following Bobbi Kristina's accident.

It has been a devastating two months since Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston was rushed to hospital, and now reports are claiming that she has been discharged.

According to various sources, the 22-year-old's family have decided to take her out of hospital and move her to a rehabilitation centre, in the hope that her condition will improve. However, her state of health remains the same.

One source told Entertainment Tonight, who broke the story: "The family is hoping for improvements in Bobbi Kristina's condition, but she remains in a coma."

The source added: "She is not being rehabbed, she is being moved due to hospital policy."

Members of the Brown family, including father Bobby, were seen moving the young singer's belongings from the hospital in plastic bags yesterday.

Bobbi Kristina was rushed to hospital in January after being discovered unresponsive in a bathtub. She was put in an induced coma, with her distraught family keeping a bedside vigil ever since.

Our thoughts remain with the Brown family at this incredibly difficult time, and we hope that Bobbi Kristina makes a full recovery.

Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown is still battling for her life in hospital after being placed in a medically induced coma over four weeks ago.

The 21-year-old is still extremely ill after being found unconscious in a bathtub at her home in Atlanta, Georgia on January 31st.

A huge controversy erupted today after it was reported that the Brown family were cashing in on Bobbi's illness by chronicling the situation for a reality show.

According to TMZ, Bobby Brown himself will not appear in the show, although his sisters Leolah and Tina will.

"It appears that they have not shot video in the hospital, but… they have regular debriefs at home on camera where they talk about the tragedy," TMZ today reported. 

A lawyer for Bobby has slammed the reports, although he did not speak for Leolah and Tina. "There is no Brown family reality show that is in production which chronicles Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina or the medical emergency she presently faces at Emory Hospital," said the lawyer today, calling the allegations "plain insanity."

Whatever the situation with her family, we hope Bobbi's health improves soon.

We had high hopes for Lindsay Lohan this time around. We thought she was going to get back on track, but after a recent interview, we’re not so sure.

According to Lindsay, when she was doing her community service, she was asked to handle Whitney Houston’s body bag in the morgue, because no one else could do it:

“A lot of other people were meant to do it, and they were like: ‘No, they can’t handle it. Lohan can.’

“I know it sounds really dark and strange, but I thought it would be a lot worse. I kind of regulated a lot of it.

“I’d tell people: "You didn’t fold that sheet properly" because I’m OCD with folding.

“I was like, ‘OK, wait. Something needs to change, and I think that’s me.’”

Even though Lindsay claims the experience wasn’t that bad, she still describes it as “F***ed and inappropriate” – and we’ve got to agree! If it’s true, that is.

An official from the Coroner’s office in LA has spoken out about Lindsay’s claims, saying that they aren’t true:

“Whitney was never in a body bag and no one in the probation program came in contact with Whitney's body.

“Whitney was wrapped in plastic with a sheet cover the entire time she was at the morgue. In fact, she was taken out in plastic – not a body bag – from the hotel where she died.”

We have a feeling Lindsay has been telling lies, which doesn’t bode well for someone who’s trying to win back people’s trust as she claims to be doing:

“I lost a lot of… I wouldn’t say… I don’t think 'respect’ is the word… trust from a lot of people. And I don’t mind gaining that back.”

Take it from us Lindsay, this is NOT the way to do it.

Whitney Houston’s family are said to be absolutely furious over a movie about her life.

The late superstar’s loved ones are livid that the Angela Basset-directed film depicting Whitney’s rocky relationship with her ex-husband Bobby Brown is being planned as a TV movie because they feel she deserves so much more.

Whitney’s sister Pat Houston said, ”Whitney is certainly worthy of more than a television movie. If Whitney were here today, this would not be happening.”

The singer’s family has reportedly already told Lifetime – the makers of the movie – that they are NOT happy and are said to be threatening a lawsuit if the network refuses to cancel production.

Whitney’s family are instead planning their own big screen movie in the style of Michael Jackson’s This Is It, which they feel would be a more fitting tribute to the musical icon.

Meanwhile, the Lifetime movie is set for release in 2015 and will see Oscar-nominated actress Angela, who starred opposite Whitney in Waiting to Exhale, make her directorial début.
