I have previously discussed the volatile family tensions surrounding the late singer Whitney Houston’s estate. This Saturday the families of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown gathered in Georgia to mourn the loss of Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. There are reports of a confrontation between Leolah Brown and Pat Houston. This article discusses some of the deep simmering tensions between the two families. One of the few things the two opposing sides could agree on was banning Bobbi Kristina’s former partner, Nick Gordon, from the funeral. Pat Houston has alleged that Nick Gordon was abusive towards Bobbi Kristina and that he stole $11,000 from her while she was in an unconscious state. The conflict between the Brown and Houston families is likely going to continue as they fight over Whitney Houston’s $20 million dollar estate.
