Tyler Perry Slams Media for Bobbi Kristina Coverage
Whitney Houston's close friend Tyler Perry just took to Facebook to comment on all of the media coverage surrounding her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is currently fighting for her life in a hospice.
"This morning I woke up with Whitney [Houston] on my mind. I couldn't help but think about all that she must have dreamed for her child. I know this was not her dream… And as difficult as this time is for the people that love both Whitney and Krissi, what makes it more egregious is the blatant disrespect, lies, and ignorance that are rapidly printed in this awful time. For some reason, it has become human nature in our society to look for, seek out, and celebrate darkness, glory in tragedy, and enjoy reading and reporting it,” wrote the 45-year-old actor/director/producer.
He continued, "It makes me sad to know that everybody wants to be the first to report something awful. So much so, that they find it OK to speak death onto those who are still alive. May I ask you all to please show some decency and respect? Not only to Krissi's family, but also to the other families that are there in this place. Not only is Krissi at the center but there are several other families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones at the same time. It's heartbreaking to think that even in a time like this, this child is still not allowed any peace. I assure you, the family will issue an official statement if something changes. Until then, can we just pray for Krissi, and the Houston and Brown families?"
Bobbi's deteriorating health has been in the news since she was discovered unconscious in January.
