Leolah Brown has been losing her mind on Facebook lately over Pat Houston. While I do sort of get her point. Pat is not a blood relative of Krissi’s and she certainly has taken over everything related to Krissi since Whitney Houston died, On the other hand, the Browns don’t seem capable of the sort of things Pat has been running. Leolah seems most pissed that Pat Houston requested donations to her charity in lieu of flowers for the funeral. Pat started a charity for wayward teens a couple years ago in Shelby, North Carolina. I believe that is where she lived when she first married her husband Gary who used be an NBA player. The fact of the matter is that Pat Houston, nor Gary Houston are actually Houstons. Gary’s last name is Garland. He is Whitney’s half brother (they have different fathers). Gary, Pat and their daughter’s last name is Garland. They just started using Houston at some point. This is part of Leolah’s problem with Pat. Also, she questions the legitimacy of the “charity,” TheMarionPfoundation.” Marion is Pat’s first name. The charity doesn’t seem to have received donations prior to the funeral.
So today, at the funeral when Pat took to the podium to wax poetic about a kid who based on what we saw on the show didn’t seem to know or care for Pat much, Leolah began to heckle her. Because, classy. Tyler Perry escorted her out of the church and into the parking lot. After the eulogies, the funeral ended with Whitney Houston singing Jesus Loves Me.
The funeral was private with only invited guests allowed inside the church. Invitations were accepted by celebrities like Monica, Tyler Perry and Michael Jai White while Pat banned Nick Gordon from the funeral.
Speaking of classy, Pat threw a “sweet sixteen themed funeral.” Um. I’m pretty sure the theme of all funerals is to mourn the death and celebrate the life of the deceased. That is until today. Because, circus. The “sweet sixteen” event (seriously, WTF?) will be held at Pat’s home in the backyard. I predict the cops will be called to break up a fight. Stay tuned.
Leolah Brown is determined to keep the chaos going. She told the photographers today,”It’s not over. We’ve got evidence of who Pat really is, this is going to be a long drawn out process.”
Sweet sixteen themed funeral? Wasn’t BK 22?
Nothing brings out the ugly in families like a funeral. The Sweet16 theme is just bizarre.
Seems like Pat and Leola both wanted a media circus.
I think the DMSV could be Histrionic personality disorder.
You just hit the nail on the head. Fivecatsownme!!!!! Both are wrong. Let me ask you something do you think Cissy gave Pat the authority over Kristinas funeral.
gdavis, you are tens of posts behind on this subject. Please avail yourself of my search box and catch up.
Or shut up.

Like I’ve said many times…BK never had a chance.
I knew it would not be the end of it all once she passed on. I can only say that I am happy that she is not here to witness anymore of the family drama. Shame on most of them. And bless the ones that have enough awareness to know what is important. They must be so tired of it all.
Sad. Bobby may be many things but most of all his baby girl is dead and he is a grieving father. Makes me sick to my stomach to even think about what this is going to turn into. I’m heartbroken Krissi is gone but thankful she doesn’t have to be a part of this freakshow anymore.
They just started using the name Houston. Lord have mercy.
I didn’t know any of this…Quite sad to say the least
Why isn’t Grandma Cissy making these fools behave??
Because they are grown and an eighty-one year old woman doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with all this foolishness.
They are soGhetto. They give blacks a bad rep. May Bobbi Kristina rest in peace.
Have a beautiful day.

A themed funeral? WTF. This sounds like a Phaedra Parks production. According to Ms. Parks Instagram she was in attendance at the funeral. Can you imagine the spectacle she and Dwight would throw!?!
Sweet 16?? What the hell does that even mean?
“Sweet Sixteen” parties were once both acknowledgements that young ladies were of an age to welcome the attentions of young men and celebrations of their innocence and beauty. Maybe the choice of theme for Bobbi Kristina’s funeral was an attempt to soften the reality of her life…innocence lost long ago to family dissonance, greed, drugs, and false friends.
Nope. The sixteenth birthday among certain circles with no concept of money has become a reason for extreme excess and flaunting of money. It’s all about the money. It’s Pat who is finally getting her MTV Sweet Sixteen.

Has it occurred to anyone in the Brown family that Leolah Brown may be seriously mentally ill? I read her Facebook rants, and as her niece lay in hospice care, clearly near death, Ms. Brown continued to insist Bobbi Kristina was getting better and claim that she was relaying Bobbi’s “requests.” I hope someone can convince Ms. Brown to check into a nice, quiet facility where she can gather her wits. Do we know anything about her? Does she abuse alcohol or drugs? Has she always been unstable? Her hate-filled rants against Pat Houston are oddly laced with religious outrage and “The Browns against the world” expressions of persecution. It appears to me that the only thing the Houston’s have done to Bobby Brown lately is pay him. Maybe a visit with Dr. Phil?
Leolah is an attention whore. I don’t think that is in the DSM yet…

Thank you, TT. There should be a special place in the DSM for Leolah Brown.

No she is not, if so, maybe, Leolah perhaps, can try to get the WILL changed after the death of her brother’s daughter Krissy. Is this possible?
No. Pat and Bobby have already worked out a financial agreement. You need to read the many, many posts on this subject from here prior to the funeral.
Wasn’t Leolah one of the people who released pictures of the inside of Whitney and Bobby’s home with drug paraphenalia all over the place? I recall reading her gossip in several tabloids a long time ago. Something is seriously wrong with her and some of the others. What a greedy, sad and pathetic bunch. Thank God Tyler Perry was there to give it some class.
Leolah has been selling her fake stories to ATL news shows since Krissi drowned. Same with (I think it is her kid, Jarod). Leolah is not close to Bobby and is bitter and looking for her 15.
Pat on the other hand somehow convinced her HUSBAND to adopt a fake (not legal) name change to Houston when Whitney died. Gary is not a Houston. He is from Cissy’s first baby daddy whose last name was Garfield. After Pat married Gary, he somehow convinced him (and his daughter) to pretend to be “Houstons” the children of Whitney’s father.
Pat weedled her way into be part of Whitney’s team. She then had a falling out with Whitney which is why Bobbi never could stand her. Now Pat has created a “charity” with Whitney’s photo on top of her website selling $5 candles for $65 claiming a portion goes to charity.
Pat is no better than Leolah. Both sides suck. And that includes Cissy.

@TT:
Yes, this is certainly a situation of #TeamNoOne.
You said it ericzku––Team No One is right. (or it’s Team of One / Looking Out for Me me me me me )
This poor girl was born, raised and died in chaos and her ‘adult family’ couldn’t keep their shit together for a damm funeral service. I”m sure the web fighting- trying to trash each other to any reporter who will listen ect… has just begun.
Why didn’t Bobby just pull his shit together and take charge of this whole thing? Am I crazy here?
I’m sorry – as far as I’m concerned the only two people who don’t have to pull their shit together before and during this particular funeral are Bobby Brown and Cissy Houston. Kudos to Tyler Perry for stepping up.
One thing is certain : Whitney Houston designated who were to be her heirs. Looney Leeolah ain’t one of them. Whether Whitney’s brother is named Garland or Bababooey, Whitney made him an heir in her Will. This may gall the Brown clan of crazies and money grubbers, but that is how the cookie crumbles. Funerals and weddings can often bring out the worst behavior in people. The most important thing to remember is that a young girl, whose parents were ravenous drug users, paved the way for death. She never had a chance and , even after death, these greedy dogs will not come to heel.
Bobbie Kristina Brown: Rest in Peace and give your Mom a hug when you see her.
Amen and thank you, Dietrich for saying what I could not.
dietrich, so perfectly said.
Well said. The love of money is the root of all evil. (“Whether Whitney’s brother is named Garland or Bababooey…” made me LMAO, so thank you.)
I agree, what have The Houston’s done to the Browns. Leolah has repeatedly harassed Pat. Gary may have been close to his step father that he started using the name. Alot of people do that when they are not close to the birth parent. Whether he goes by Garland or Houston he still was Whitney’s big brother & Bobbi’s niece. Whitney loved her family & was friends with Pat for over 20 years she trusted her with everything. When she couldn’t care for her daughter she sent her to Pat & Gary. Whitney would be going off on everybody dissing her family. They are her family and entitled to any of her earnings.
Bobbi loved her Auntie she got mad at her because Pat was worried about her behavior & she should have been. People are dissing Pat because its her role to handle things…that’s not evil.
Leola is jealous because she wants to be Pat Houston. She wants the money & she wants to run the show.
Pat made sure family/close friends stood around the clock vigil with Krissi so she didn’t have to die alone. During this time this Leola nut is posting nonsense on FB & getting ban from hospice.
Her behavior today is further proof she only cares for herself…not her deceased niece & not her brother.
Amen!
If Leola was so close to Whitney, why wasn’t she in the will? While Whitney was doing her thing why wasn’t BK sent to live with the Browns? Whitney cherished BK and she wanted her to have a stable environment. Whitney made the choice of her brother and SIL.
I think Pat was concerned that Bobbi would blow her trust -inheritance on BS. Obviously Whitney trusted Pat, she was her manager.LB keeps stating that the reason that Pat isn’t acknowledging her is bc it’s all true. I don’t agree. I think Pat has been more concerned about other things.
LB will sell off her “knowledge” to the highest bidder. That is her choice. As is Pat’s etc.
I don’t think a Sweet 16 would have been my choice but who is to say the BK had not stated she wishes she would have had a Sweet 16 party. Lord knows she should have definitely been able to have one when she actually turned 16.
There is too much false information in this comment regarding Patricia Garland to even address.

I agree Tamara , Pat is no saint ! I think she is a good actress ! She talks in that calm voice but something is off ! Last night Oprah aired the special with her and her husband and daughter . I didn’t like her then and still don’t . Why didn’t she give Krissy a sweet sixteen when she turned 16 ? My heart goes out to Bobby Brown I believe he loved his daughter ! This is so sad . RIP Bobbi Kristina and my deepest sympathy to Bobby Brown !
If these people were in my family, I would smoke crack too. Wow. What crazy behavior.
All I can say to this is …damnnn! These people are idiots. I bet Cissy is so tired of all of them. Money or the prospect of having money (lots of it sometimes) make people act so crazy. I see this as an on going circus, that is not going to end well. If this is what having money does, then I am glad to remain poor and reasonably happy.
Very adult behavior heckling during a funeral. She showed disrespect for everyone there, including her brother.
I find the Sweet 16 thing very confusing.
I tried to come up with a rational explanation of the “Sweet Sixteen” thing, but I’m sure TT is right: Pat Houston is having her big, extravagant, excessive “Sweet Sixteen” MTV party. I can’t imagine this kind of celebration on the day one buries a young woman whom you love. Because…Houston’s…Browns.
A sweet sixteen funeral?! How bizarre and creepy. Her coming out party and coming of age party as a young woman into society is… her funeral. Weird and very disturbing. They are all sick in the head.
I’m not going to judge the weirdness of a themed funeral when the woman who arranged it stepped up to the plate for the last 6 months – yes, there could be an element of $ in this, but she also helped keep vigil over the last 6 months. Blood means nothing…. love does, and even if BK had issues with her, I’m not going to judge based on that either (if BK was using drugs – well, often people either avoid or get outright pissed at those who love them but refuse to enable them in their addictions. I know this from personal experience…. and if my loved one ever does succumb from his addictions/demons, I won’t be planning his funeral – but I can’t say that I won’t be dwelling on happier occasions like birthday parties – sadly, for us, it would be something like his 10th birthday.)
Well, damn. Now I am teary and melancholy. Rest in peace Bobbi Kristina – and may those who love you – blood or not – find peace and a little redemption.
@ Erika I am so sorry for your pain because of addiction of someone you loved. Blessings and hugs to you. I hope it turns out well.
Such a shame. That poor child was born into chaos and even though she’s now passed the chaos remains. I feel for Bobby Brown that his sister acted the fool at his daughters service.
Again…”Speechless”
This is all so sad. It’s hard to know how close Krissi was to some of themand what they tried to do to help. I have aunts and uncles who would not recognise me on the street – but I love my nieces like my own children. If one of them died I would be too despondent to even log into facebook (which I detest and only have active to stay on good terms with employer references).
In some bizarre way this is reminiscent of Anna Nicole. Not the people involved but the whole way this went down, a mother and child both dying of drug overdoses in suspicious circumstances. Then everyone coming out of the wood work to lay claim and quibble over estates. That was a nasty piece of business and I see no less happening here. So so sad. Instead of using this as a chance to educate and help they are doing as those before them have done quibble and claim money that they have no right too. How painful for those who are truly mourning the loss of this young, beautiful soul.
That charity does sound a little hoakie. Regardless, I hope BK has flown far beyond this and is not seeing any if this nonsense from above. RIP Bobbi Kristina Brown. May you already have the peace you seem to never ever have had a day during your short time here in earth.
Do you have some links for this Tamara? Where you found all this out?
This is very interesting.
Witchy if you go to upper right hand corner of this page there is a search box. Type Bobbi KriKristina, there are many links.
Funny that since the beginning the Houston’s have acted as if they are better than and above Bobby Brown and his family. They blamed poor Bobby for turning Whitney out on drugs when in fact it was her own brother that introduced her to them. After Whitney died they wouldn’t let Bobby have anything to do with the raising of Bobbi Kristina and look how she turned out, lost and using drugs just like her mother did. It seems to me that the only thing that Sissy Houston, her sons and this Pat character know how to do is raise messed up, drugged out kids.
Funny also that Bobby had three kids prior to the one he had with Whitney and none of those kids are strung out. IJS.
Do you have knowledge of Bobby Brown’s other children? It’s really a moot point. I will say again, Bobby was a terrible role model. Period. And I am pretty sure that Whitney did not intend for Bobby to get any money from her estate. To think he would not let that child pass on more peacefully until he could have some of the money, speaks volumes. I just can’t muster up any sympathy under those circumstances. I can’t imagine how he sleeps at night.
Yes I do. You don’t know any facts. You just hate him and would like to blame him for everything instead of facing the fact that Whitney and her siblings were drug users long before Bobby ever came along. Her brother turned her out. She turned Bobby out. That’s a fact. Long after they divorced and he left, Whitney continued to smoke coke in the house around and maybe even with her daughter. (Some role model) She let Nick (BC’s boyfriend at 12 years old) move into the house with them and to save face about it, called him an adopted son. (Some role model). The list goes on and on with Whitney. She had issues and although Bobby wasn’t perfect a lot of his issues came as a result of his connection to her. From the second he left, his life began to get better while her’s deteriorated. These are facts so have several seats Riley. You don’t know shit from shynola.
So Pam, I would be wasting my time trying to get through to someone who just wants to blame Whitney for everything because you just hate Whitney. See, that looks stupid to say, huh? I have in other posts blamed them BOTH for bad parenting. As for hating Bobby Brown, I don’t think anymore about him as I do you. It’s just the parenting and one would be blind not to see it. And BTW…I DO know Shit AND Shynola. They told me to tell you hello.
What a spectacle!!. This has been such a sad story. I hope Bobbi Kristina is at peace.
I guess what do you expect, really? The sweet 16 theme had me shaking my damn head. As did the white high-top sneakers Leolah wore to the funeral. I’m only surprised they spent any of Whitney’s money on a funeral, but I guess it is offset by donations to the ‘charity.’ Don’t need the psychic friends network to know Whitney is rolling in her grave.

Two things: Pat is opportunist and greedy jealous woman. Opportunist because of this “charity/foundation” collecting money instead of flowers for Bobbi and because of the candles. Yep, candles made by her company. Candles which u could see all-over-the-place during Oprah. Yuck. Product placement in my face, wrong time and wrong place. IMO. Jealous because I have strong impression od her wanting to be in the spotlight but always in the shadow. And than we have another kind od jealousy, her own daughter. Always in the back and always Krissy being famous and all eyes on Krissy without making any effort. Watching the show that was my impression. She can hide it with her voice and acting soft but it’s obvious like 2+2=4.
To use the occasion of your niece’s funeral to fill the coffers of your own vanity “charity”/tax shelter is beyond crass.
It’d be one thing if this organization or cause was one that Bobbi Kristina had cared about/worked with/advocated for during her lifetime, but there’s no indication of that being the case. If Pat’s motives were purely altruistic, she’d have suggested donations to a charity that is well-established and unaffiliated with any family members. Instead, she put out what is pretty clearly a money-grab.
I’m not defending this Leeolah Brown person at all BUT I can understand how Pat’s actions would rankle.
The ironic part of this charity is that it is for girls at risk.
The ironic party of this charity is that they have never actually done anything before.

Enough!!!! I think it’s time for Leola to silence herself. Does it really matter to anyone watching? What will she change by ranting and raving during Bobbi Kristinas funeral ” accompanied with a bunch of he say she say crap in front of cameras in a sacred place ? Will this cause any of us to sign petitions in-reference to domestic violence against women, which is allegedly a contributing factor to the death of her said to be beloved neice Bobbi Kristina? I know they have the right, but why is the family hiding from the cameras? Why would the family want to hide, this day of all days from fans? In a situation like if I were them I would allow the cameras to film everything but the remains,which I think would end the majority of the attention of the paparazzi. LeOla needs to focus on who or what caused Bobbie Kristinas death. It’s time for gag orders when it comes interviews. This is just my opinion.
I think the charity has waned, it was a venture for Pat & Whitney that they were pulling together when Whitney died. I think the charity helped troubled teens but maybe Pat couldn’t focus on it due to other responsibilities. Whitney had her own charity before this one that kind of fizzled out, that doesn’t mean there was any deceptive practices going on. Maybe with Bobbi gone now Pat wants to go back to focusing on this to help teenagers again.
Pat is an executor, I’m sure she doesn’t need to pimp us for the little bit of money we drop in a sympathy card.
Maybe I would have said in lieu of flowers send donations send money to a drug rehab facility…I’m not sure..but it was Pats choice. She’s doing everything; she doesn’t have time to fall apart.
I think the sweet 16 may have been the theme at her house after the funeral. I saw the program & I don’t see where the funeral was any different.
It’s rumored Bobbi was struggling with drugs & anger maybe that’s why her mom didn’t give her a sweet 16. Maybe celebrating at the house was a way for Pat to give Bobbi something she may have regret not getting or maybe it was a way to keep everyone celebrating her life & not mourning her death.
And it’s a leak so we don’t know if she followed the idea or not.
But I want to see is what evidence Leola has were she was “saving her niece”?? Surely, with her thinking Pat ” murdered” Whitney, she has a log book of stuff she did to “protect” her niece from this murderous plot!!
Again, Ida’s comments have a TON of false information about Pat. And the “charity.”

Maybe you are affiliated with Pat lol
The Browns and the Houston’s have rode Whitney’s coat tails her entire life.(other than Cissy) Whitney basically supported the entire families. What bugs me is that Christina lived in her mothers shadow her entire life and even in death they insisted on having Whitney’s picture along with Whitney’s songs played and sung at the service. This was suppose to be about Christina’s life not her mothers. The whole drama thing is all about money. They were all greedy morons while Whitney was alive, then they were after Christina’s money from her mom. Now after death they still won’t quit. Both families in my opinion are despicable!
Bobby Brown was a huge R&B entertainer when he married Whitney with New Edition and on his own. While what you are saying may be true, in the beginning at least he could hold his own.
And he has held his own since he left. Personally I don’t believe he wants nor needs Whitney’s money. If he did, he could have tried to fight the prenup when they divorced especially since she initiated it. That was a low point for him and he made it through. He and his wife are doing just fine financially.

I know isn’t funny at all, but I couldn’t help but laugh at the “except for one disturbance” lead in.
Yes the humor does exist. I’ve learned over the years that being first to speak when it comes to delicate situations the attention you recieve could lead to your demise.
I totally disagree. Someone has given Pat the authority to take charge, and more than likely it’s her mother-inlaw Cissy. According to my research Bobby Brown is devastated and I think he could care less about a funeral theme or the ongoing controversy between Pat and Leola. The reason Bobbi Kristina death is still undetermined, that is until the investigation is complete. Leola concerns are somewhat warranted, but airing Pats dirty laundry to us will only satisfy Leola’s ego. Leola actions were totally out of line, like I said gag orders are needed especially with the investigation just beginning to take form. Surely you know that Leola’s rants could compromise the investigation. Bobby Brown is coming as soon as the fog clears, and when he comes the timer on the time bomb wil be set, meaning tic tic tic boooommmm!!!! The truth will then be revealed via Oprah and it won’t be pretty. This is just my opinion T-tattles
Pat gave herself the right to run the funeral in the financial agreement that Bobby and Pat reached prior to letting her die. None of these people gave a shit about Krissi before the paparazzi arrived.
Also, it took a LONG LONG time for Krissi to die after they supposedly cut off support. She was a rail thin heroin addict, allegedly. I find that sad and very unusual.
No one has any right to issue a gag order. That is ridiculous.

Why isn’t anyone talking about the white high top sneakers!
Thanks Tamara , for the information regarding parental status. This somewhat solves there is little resemblance between Whitney and her brother.
This child, yes I said child, had a messed up life. Her parents were hot fucking messes, she didn’t have a chance at a decent normal life. I feel terrible for her for that, money and fame do not solve a damn thing. To have this drama and bullshit surrounding the death of Bobbi Kriss is so tacky, disrespectful and ugly. It amazes me that any of these fame whores can sleep at night. I don’t know who is the worst, or who is the most fucked up, at this point it doesn’t matter. What should matter is a life, a young life is gone and it could have been prevented with people paying attention a long fucking time ago. It boils my blood that it just seems to be a huge pissing match and there is no end in sight. I hope she found the peace in death she was lacking in life.
It appears to be one of the AJC’s lead stories and the comments there are brutal. I feel the need to quote Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?” A woman-child lived a short tumultuous life and yesterday should have been about her.
Do you find it weird that complete strangers drove hundreds of miles to set up camp near the church? Like you’re making your weekend plans, and you just say to yourself, you know what would be a fantastic way to spend my precious time off today? Going to the funeral of someone I don’t know. Because even though I cannot go into the church for the service or to the cemetery for the burial, I can just breathe the same air. Why, people, why?
Sometimes I feel like I am living on Mars.
Agreed. It amazes me too. This celebrity culture of ours is sick.
Trash v. Trash.
In 20 years or so the settlement will be gone and a few semi-related off spring will be fighting over royality checks.
Thank you Meeta Brown – yes – Leolah’s relative. FINALLY, someone.has come forward and called her what she is – CRAZY!
Seriously – they need to get her some help. Crack has killed her brain – what little she had left.
Funerals, like interventions, do not require a theme. You know what the theme automatically is? To mourn the loss of and celebrate the life of the person who died.
It’s just heart breaking the way people act during such a sad time.
Tamara T: The information that you have provided above makes these people sound like monsters. I can’t bear that no one at all loved this young woman among those closest to her. It makes me sick. I hope they pay in some way, if not legally, then consumed by their greed.
Now I’m letting it go. I hope that young woman has found peace in the afterlife if such a place exists.
What amazes me is that money will make family members act the damn fool when someone dies. It doesn’t matter if it’s a lot of money or a little. I’ve seen it happen both ways. People are worried that another family member is going to get money they don’t think they deserve. It does seem to be worse of course when it involves a celebrity/celebrity kid and a larger estate. They don’t seem to care that they’ve had to lose a family member to get their money grubbing hands on this money. What happened to their grief? I guess it can be eased by being able to buy a new car or house. Geez these are some sick people. I’d rather live in a cardboard box than lose someone I love to be rich. I just don’t get it.
TT POST
“Pat on the other hand somehow convinced her HUSBAND to adopt a fake (not legal) name change to Houston when Whitney died. Gary is not a Houston. He is from Cissy’s first baby daddy whose last name was Garfield. After Pat married Gary, he somehow convinced him (and his daughter) to pretend to be “Houstons” the children of Whitney’s father.”
This information isn’t correct. Gary started using the name “Houston” before he married his first wife Monique. IDK why it could be because his step dad (Whitney’s father) raised him. But his first wife that he divorced in 1992 and his children with his first wife are all Houston’s.
Alot of people change their names, whatever he goes by doesn’t change the fact he’s Whitney’s brother.
I don’t think there is any other way to explain the fact that Gary Garland is not a Houston. His father was a Garland not a Houston. Therefore his wives, and children are Garlands not Houstons. The only reason any of the Garlands started to use the name Houston was to connect themselves to Whitney for attention purposes. It’s disgusting.
Gary is Whitney’s HALF brother. Whitney’s father’s last name was HOUSTON, Gary’s last name is GARLAND.
Those are facts.

Hey Lady Tamara :). I am noticing lots of new people who haven’t read commenting rules. Hope you have a great day. Thanks for your hard work on our behalf 🙂
Tamara, thanks for the info on Pat. I didn’t know much about Krissy and decided to watch a couple of episodes of “The Houstons.” When I heard about this reality show, filmed so soon after Whitney’s death, I thought it was extremely inappropriate and exploitative. In fact I thought BK wouldn’t appear in it. After watching the two episodes, I was so sad to think that BK’s grieving was sold to the highest bidder. The entire show evolves around BK’s grief. Pat was the narrator in the show and of course appears as the one who is going to save BK, when in actuality she probably brokered the whole deal to exploit her. BK should have been allowed to grieve in private…not for public consumption. Pat is out for the money, just as much as the other money grabbers. In fact, she may be the worst.
It’s sad that they didn’t let Nick attend. No one even knows what happened for sure and he is probably the only one she would have wanted there. These attention starved, money hungry fools make me sick.
When someone dies a tragic death like Christina did, the family needs someone to blame other than the deceased. No one takes into account that this girl has been a drug addict for years just like her mother. Although both their deaths were tragic and sad, I don’t think Nick is to blame. With that being said the family has control of who attends the services and who doesn’t. Right now the family needs to blame someone other than Christina and Nick seems to be the perfect scapegoat.
Welp. One of the scum sucking scumbags has done it. Sold the casket photo to the highest bidder. Rot in hell whoever you are. Karma is a bitch.
Why am I surprised by anything these low life’s do? Allegedly
You’re right NBJ
One of the TV shows showed pictures of the “mourners” arriving by party bus from the church to the “sweet sixteen” crap. They were rowdly and cheering for the cameras and then started chanting “Krissi!” and whooping and hollering like they were at a tailgate party.

On tv up here (DYT) today I watched the news and they were showing bits of the procession. Tastefully and respectfully. Then they showed a pic of Whitney and Krissi side by side and I lost it. I sobbed for quite awhile because of the revolting nature of this whole shitshow. My heart is broken in half. I can’t with this anymore. Krissi is with her mother and the rest of it is sickening to me. Peace baby girl. You finally have peace <3
Actually, in regards to the sweet sixteen themed funeral, I’ve found that the black community has been getting very… creative with their funerals. I’ve seen dead bodies propped up in chairs for wakes with motorcycles, so a themed funeral is no surprise, especially for someone as extra as Pat Houston.
When I am wrong, I will say I am wrong. Nobody puts baby in a corner. Oops 🙁 No really.. In an earlier statement I had states my feelings on Pat etc. WoW, she is a piece of work.
Poor BKB, the kid didn’t seem to ever have a chance. One side is bad, the other is just as bad. One side just puts lipstick on but nonetheless the less,still a pig.
For those who believe the fact that Pat is executor was a decision made by WH in her will is was NOT.
The ONLY reason Pat is executor is because Cissy Houston the named executor in the will of WH, went to court to have Pat added on (Cissy probably did not want to deal given her age and the amount of work it takes).
The above change was approved by Fulton County Probate Court Judge Pinkie T. Toomer in March of 2012.
So if it was up to WH – Pat would NOT be an executor of the estate.
I think Pat likely sucked up to Cissy and said you don’t want to do that work I will do it . Knowing full well that she (i.e. Pat ) had an alternative agenda
Ultimately, Cissy retained the right to have a say so with respect to the estate, but in reality she deferred to Pat.
Ah! There you are, 2Can. 🙂

Hey there Tamara 🙂 …I know right….here I finally am …I have been knee deep in real world stuff so I stopped and looked a couple of times but did not comment….because I did not have time to get “all consumed” with this topic… as per my usual mode of operation, regarding BK 🙂
2Can, I just got back from a trip to the grocery store that I took basically to hang out in frozen foods for a bit. My car was 105 when got in. The weatherman just patted himself on the back for predicting a high of 94 today when the temperature from HIS STATION on the TV read 98.
So it’s HOT. And I have my hands full with the hand full of fucktards in the Kim Richards comments. My patience is nil, and you know this subject way better than I do.

@Tamara – duly noted 🙂 …while you are having fun over there, I will keep an eye out for ya on this thread…should something come up over the course of the evening….. on another note – YIKES regarding the heat 🙂
I feel so ignorant for my earlier statements. Ugg! Maybe LB is right, she just needs a different platform to voice her knowledge. I am sure we will hear it soon.
@Tara – no worries it happens to ALL of us at times :-). But yep, there was a REASON WH chose NOT to name Pat as executor…and although LB comes off crazy…and probably for good reason :-)….she is probably also aware of WHY WH did NOT name Pat executor.
what ever comments was made at the funeral leolah brown should have kept them to her self after all that was over with that was not the place or time to bring all that out in the open regardless how said what this is a time to grive for bobbi kristina what ever needs to be said can wait after all that you know being a celeb is not easy i dont know what it is like really dont wont to know but in stead of pointing fingers at one another you really should portect each other because you only have one life that god gives us and when you are haveing bad times you should have a support sytem then among each other not yell or say bad words just talk i know every body is diffrent and have there own way they see things or understand things but some times it does not hurt to be a little bit more kinder this would be a better world if we could give more compassion to others to help them along
