Sweet 16 Themed Funeral Plans for Bobbi Kristina Create More Bad Blood Between Brown & Houston Families
Bobbi Kristina Brown's aunt Pat Houston is taking some heat over funeral arrangements for her niece.
Whitney Houston's cousin, Dionne Warwick, is reportedly unhappy about the funeral plans. A close source revealed to DailyMail, "Dionne is planning a trip and threatening to not attend the funeral because Pat Houston is taking over, even though she should be making decisions with Bobby and not doing it on her own. Pat wants to have a 'sweet sixteen' theme funeral, but Dionne feels that is stupid and disrespectful to Bobbi Kristina."
Bobby Brown's sister Leolah also slammed Pat on Facebook, saying, "The Brown family has just learned that Marion Patricia Houston, AKA: Pat Houston, is asking for the public to send money to her foundation (The Marion P Foundation) on behalf of my niece Bobbi Kristina. She has not even sat down & spoken to my brother Bobby, who is Bobbi Kristina's father, about this. PLEASE keep your money in your pockets and give absolutely NOTHING to the Marion P foundation. Unless you don't mind supporting such an evil and dirty foundation. Lastly, keep your eyes & ears open as THE TRUTH is being revealed."
While the Browns and Houstons are having differences about the funeral, they are able to agree on the decision not to have Bobbi's boyfriend Nick Gordon there. Nick is begging the families to let him attend the ceremony, reports TMZ.
He wrote in an email to Bobby and Pat, "I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. I'm begging you both to please put your differences aside and allow me this chance. Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there."
Bobbi will have a funeral in Georgia before she is laid to rest next to Whitney Houston in New Jersey.
