Cissy Houston, along with the other trustees of Whitney Houston’s estate, have filed a petition in Fulton County court to restructure payments of Bobbi Kristina “Krissi” Brown’s inheritance. Krissi’s behavior has been somewhat erratic since the death of her mother, Whitney last February. The petition states that “(Krissi) is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from respondent’s resources and celebrity.” In other words, they are worried about the influence Nick Gordon has over the 19-year-old and are using legal means to protect her assets.  The basis of the request is that the plaintiffs feel that the current distribution schedule will result in a conflict with the will’s ”intent to provide long-term financial security and protection for her child.”  And that “Compliance with the provisions of the trust would defeat or substantially impair the accomplishment of the purposes of the trust, which were to provide for the proper maintenance and comfort of the respondent, and to prevent the wasting of trust assets, as evidence by the trust’s spendthrift provision.”  In other words, they want to keep any substantial payments from occurring until Bobbi gets her head on straight and is out of from under the influence of her play brother/boyfriend Nick. the intention of the petition is not to cut off payments but to delay any substantially large payment beyond the current payment schedule.

Let’s hope the courts agree to do this. I fear this situation could go terribly wrong is someone does not step in and start providing Krissi with some direction.

Since Whitney Houston died, her daughter, Bobbi Kristina, has been under the scrutiny of paparazzi. The mainstream media and blogs alike have been reporting on some pretty disconcerting behaviors in the nearly seven months since Whitney’s death.  At first, reports indicated that Bobbi wanted to be back in the Atlanta condo that she once shared with Whitney. We were told that Warren Boyd, the guy the show The Cleaner is based on, was with her at all times acting as an interventionist and sober coach.  This was believed to be a temporary measure designed to get her to agree to an in-patient rehab. Well, it was a temporary measure, but Krissi never agreed to go to rehab.

Then came the Oprah interview where Pat Houston seemed eager to take center stage. We did see Krissi who seemed to be getting through things the best she could. Even that interview was rather awkward as Orpah interviewed Krissi standing around a kitchen counter in a not very relaxed setting. But at that point we figured the family, you know the family that could not even allow Krissi’s half-siblings to sit together with their father at the funeral, anyway, we figured that family had her back. But we were wrong. Continue reading »
