The battle between Bobbi Kristina Brown’s auntie’s Leolah Brown and Pat Houston continues…


Yesterday, Brown was booted from her niece’s funeral, following an outburst. According to reports Brown was asked (by family friend Tyler Perry) to leave the memorial service after interrupting Pat Houston, who was getting ready to speak, causing quite a stir inside St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia..


Afterward, an angry Brown spoke to press outside the church in Alpharetta, Georgia, saying “It was wonderful until Pat started speaking and I didn’t like that, so I left,” She continued. “I just told her that Whitney was going to haunt her from the grave.”

“Pat, it’s not over,” Leolah told reporters. “It has just begun.” she added.


On Wednesday, Brown blasted Houston on Facebook for using her niece’s name for “personal gain.”

“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,” Leolah wrote. “She has not even sat down & spoken to my brother Bobby, who is Bobbi Kristina’s father, about this.”

Brown further claimed that Houston is using Bobbi Kristina’s name to collect money for her “personal gain,” saying “there is much evil hidden behind this foundation.”

Sadly, Brown’s outburst wasn’t the only drama surrounding Bobbi Kristina’s wake. A few days prior to her memorial service, her ex-boyfriend, Nick Gordon, wrote an email to Bobby Brown and Houston pleading with them to allow him to attend the service.

“I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye,” Gordon wrote. “Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there.” — “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.”

Gordon however, was not seen entering or exiting the chapel. And we’re not the least surprised. After all, many have suspected foul play surrounding the tragic death of the 22-year-old daughter of singers Brown and Whitney Houston. Bobbi Kristina died on July 26, nearly six months after she was found unconscious and face down in her bathtub. She was later transported to hospice care. Her late mother was found dead at age 48 in an eerily similar situation at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in February 2012.
