Relatives

Bobbi Kristina Brown (March 4, 1993 – July 26, 2015) was an American reality television personality, media personality, and singer. She was the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. Her parents' fame kept Brown in the public eye, as did her appearances on the reality show Being Bobby Brown. Brown was 14 when her parents divorced and Houston gained custody.[1] When Houston died in February 2012, Brown was the sole beneficiary of her mother's estate.

In October 2012, Brown caused controversy within her parents' families when she announced her engagement to Nick Gordon, a man she previously considered her "big brother". When the couple announced they were married, her father's lawyer released a statement disputing the report.

In January 2015, Brown was found unconscious in a bathtub in her home. After being in a coma for nearly six months, Brown died from lobar pneumonia on July 26, 2015.[2] Although Gordon was never charged with any crime related to Brown's death, he was later found responsible in a wrongful death lawsuit and ordered to pay $36 million to her estate. After her death, her life was the subject of a television movie in 2017 and documentary in 2021.

Early life[]

Bobbi Kristina Brown was born on March 4, 1993, at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey, to singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.[3] Her father Bobby stated, "Whitney may have given birth to my baby girl, Bobbi Kristina, but she is my spitting image. She has my personality and all."[4] Through her mother, Brown was related to many singers and entertainers: her maternal grandmother was singer Cissy Houston of The Drinkard Singers;[5] her mother's cousins were singers Dee Dee Warwick,[5] Dionne Warwick,[5] and Leontyne Price.[6] Brown's uncle was former professional basketball player Gary Garland, her mother's half-brother.[7] Through her father, Brown had six half-siblings: Landon, La'Princia, Robert "Bobby" Jr. (died 2020), Cassius, Bodhi, and Estelle.[8] Her godmother was gospel singer CeCe Winans.[9]

The Guardian writer Caroline Sullivan characterized Brown's childhood as difficult because of her parents' drug problems.[10] In 1994, her mother brought her into the spotlight at age one when she accepted an American Music Award holding Brown while onstage.[11] The Hollywood Reporter listed the appearance as one of Brown's top five most memorable on-camera moments.[12] Her vocals were featured on her mother's 1998 song "My Love Is Your Love," for the album of the same title.[13] When her mother brought her to the recording studio and held her up to the microphone, she said "Sing, mommy," which can be heard during the first verse of the song; she says "Clap your hands!" at the end of the track. Brown was featured on her mother's 2003 Christmas album titled One Wish: The Holiday Album on "The Little Drummer Boy".[14] When Brown's parents divorced in 2007, her mother was awarded custody; her father was granted visitation rights.[15]

Adult life[]

Brown's mother died at age 48 in a hotel bathtub in February 2012 from what was later ruled an accidental drowning with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors.[16] Brown was described as "inconsolable" and a few days later was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles; according to a family friend, Brown was "overwhelmed".[17][18] In March 2012, Brown said she felt her mother's spirit and expressed her intention to carry on her mother's legacy by doing the "singing thing," along with starting a career as an actor and dancer.[19]

In accordance with her mother's will, Brown was the beneficiary of Houston's entire estate including her clothing, jewelry, cars, personal effects, and furniture.[20] The will provided for Brown to receive trust fund payments in installments until she reached age 30, after which she was to receive the remainder of Houston's $115-million estate.[21]

In 2012, Brown was cast in a recurring role as Tina the receptionist in Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse television show. Perry stated "She did a fantastic job. And that kid has a such a future. She's such an actor. I'm so proud of her. I'm telling you, as far as she wants to go in the business, she can."[22] After rumors began Brown had "tearfully exited the set" of the show, Perry came to her defense stating that had never happened.[23] The role of Tina, who on the show is the daughter of a hair stylist, was Brown's acting debut.[24]

In July 2013, Brown announced her engagement to a close family friend, Nick Gordon, who had come to live in the Houston household when he was 12 years old but was never formally adopted.[25] The announcement caused controversy within the family;[26][27] before making their romantic involvement known, Brown had referred to him as her "big brother".[28] Brown said the couple received her grandmother Cissy's blessing prior to their engagement.[29] In early 2014, Brown and Gordon announced they had married on January 9 of that year.[30] Bobby Brown's lawyer said in a statement in early 2015, "Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married."[31]

Brown called director Angela Bassett a "bitch" after she cast another woman as Whitney Houston in the biographical movie Whitney based on Houston's life. Bassett said that she did not cast Brown "for a number of reasons...she's not an actress, and acting is a craft".[32] Brown later apologized to Bassett on Twitter after generating controversy among fans.[33]

Throughout her teenage and adult years, Brown was the focus of tabloids and gossip columns, including stories about her purported drug use, weight loss, and relationships with family members.[34][35] Author Mark Bego characterized Brown's teenage years as "no picnic" because of the media focus on her and her "extreme growing pains" because of that.[36]

Coma and death[]

On January 31, 2015, Gordon and a friend found Brown face down in a bathtub in her home in Alpharetta, Georgia.[37] They began CPR until emergency medical services personnel arrived. According to a police spokesperson, Brown was alive and breathing after being transported to North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, Georgia.[18] At first, they found no evidence to indicate drugs or alcohol caused the incident, but this was later disputed.[38] Doctors placed Brown in an induced coma after determining her brain function was "significantly diminished", and her family was told a meaningful recovery would be "a miracle".[39]

On February 2, Brown was moved to Emory University Hospital, where she remained in a coma and on a medical ventilator. Her family said Brown had briefly opened her eyes, but a medical expert commented, "blinking her eyes doesn't mean she's out of the woods."[40]

Despite media reports stating Brown was brain dead and had been taken off life support, her family denied the claims on February 5 after having asked for privacy earlier in the week.[41] In late February, she was briefly brought out of the coma, but it was reinduced after she suffered seizures.[42]

During a radio interview on March 25, 2015, Brown's grandmother Cissy Houston said Brown's condition remained the same, and that there was "still not a great deal of hope. We're praying."[43] Brown was moved to an Atlanta rehabilitation facility in March 2015.[44] After Bobby Brown told concertgoers in April that his daughter was "awake", Cissy released a statement saying her granddaughter was no longer in a coma, but remained unresponsive. Doctors said Brown had "global and irreversible brain damage".[45]

In June 2015, Bobby Brown had arranged to have his daughter flown to Chicago to be seen by specialists, only to be told that nothing could be done. She was flown back to Atlanta and moved to Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, on June 24.[46] Her aunt, Marion "Pat" Garland-Houston, said that Bobbi Kristina's condition had continued to deteriorate.[47] That same month, author Ian Halperin released a book about Brown and Houston, titled Whitney and Bobbi Kristina: The Deadly Price of Fame.[48]

Brown died in hospice care on July 26, 2015, at 22. The initial autopsy found no "obvious underlying cause of death and no significant injuries", and the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said more tests were forthcoming.[49] A statement released by the family thanked "everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months".[37] Several prominent celebrities offered their condolences, including Chris Brown,[50] Oprah Winfrey,[51] and Whitney Houston protegées Brandy and Monica. Funeral services were held August 1, 2015, at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia.[52] Brown was buried two days later between her mother and maternal grandfather at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey.[53]

Autopsy report[]

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office announced on September 25, 2015, that it had "classified the cause and manner of Bobbi Kristina Brown's death", while citing a Superior Court order that prevented the office from releasing any details to the public. The findings were provided to the Fulton County District Attorney and the Roswell Police.[54]

On March 3, 2016, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Henry Newkirk granted a motion, filed by local media, to unseal the autopsy report on Brown's death.[55] In doing so, the judge noted "13 months have gone by, and I don't think there is anything particularly earth shattering in the report...Privacy interest does not exist to the deceased."[56]

The Medical Examiner's office said it would release the report after officially receiving the granted motion,[56] and provided an initial statement on March 3, 2016. The office said it used both medical records and police investigative files to arrive at a determination. According to the statement, "marijuana, alcohol (ethanol), benzoylecgonine (a cocaine-related substance), benzodiazepines (medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety), and morphine" were found in the body.[57] As to the cause of death, it found the "underlying cause" of death as "immersion associated with drug intoxication".[58] However, the manner of death could not be confirmed. The summary statement read, "Death was clearly not due to natural causes, but the medical examiner was not able to determine whether death was due to intentional or accidental causes, and therefore classified the manner of death as undetermined."[58]

Posthumous documentaries[]

After Brown's death, a television movie about her life was released, followed by a documentary on her and her mother. TV One released Bobbi Kristina in 2017. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote, "The story is ripe with melodrama as newcomer actress Joy Rovaris channels Bobbi Kristina's relationship with her mom, her love affair with Nick Gordon and the aftermath of her mother's death."[59] Lifetime released the documentary Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All in 2021, which The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called "...less an exposé and more a loving tribute to these two women".[60]

Discography[]

Brown spoke and sang in some of her mother's recordings and televised performances, as well as on a television show after her mother's death.
