Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Cousin Jerod Brown Alleges Aunt Pat Houston Murdered Whitney, Responsible For Bobbi’s Condition
Bobbi Kristina’s cousin, Jerod Brown, alleged in a Monday, March 9 post to Facebook that Bobbi and her late mother Whitney Houston were victims of a murder plot hatched by aunt Pat Houston.
Pat Houston is Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law married to the late superstar’s brother Gary. After Whitney’s tragic death in 2012, Gary and his wife Pat were appointed co-executors of Bobbi Kristina’s $20 million trust, along with grandmother Cissy Houston.
Pat secured a restraining order against Bobbi’s boyfriend Nick Gordon, according to Gossip Cop.
“Auntie Whitney was murdered not drowned. That’s a fact. Now the whole bathroom plot shows up again w/ Bobbi Kristina’s situation. C’mon are you people that bold to perform this act again on my family. And the public believes whatever these people put in their faces; I mean it is convincing if you’re not on the inside. However, I will let it be known Kristina has always had suspicion about Pat Houston. Soon evidence will be handed over to assist this investigation.”
People magazine recently reported that Pat and Gary are likely to inherit Whitney Houston’s fortune if Bobbi Kristina, who was listed as the sole heir to her mother’s fortune, dies.
Jerod’s unsubstantiated allegation comes after Bobby Brown’s lawyer warned the public to ignore Jerod’s recent comments, and Gordon’s lawyer described as false an allegation by Jerod that Gordon was seeking legal intervention to see Bobbi in the hospital.
“Jerod Brown aka Jerod Carter aka YF Kennedy, continues to makes statements and appear on television, however, he has not had any communication with Bobby Brown or the Houston family. He must be disregarded. Please do not attend any ‘meet and greet’ organized by Jerod Brown as he is unable to provide access to Bobbi Kristina or information on her condition. This is a criminal investigation and we do not need this side show.”
Jerod has been rather vocal in his criticism of Bobbi Kristina’s father Bobby Brown, posting several updates to his Facebook page slamming Brown’s media comments about his daughter’s condition.
He also organized a vigil for his 22-year-old cousin Bobbi, still in a medically-induced coma after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub on Jan. 31, nearly three years after her mother was found drowned in a hotel bath tub.
Bobbi Kristina has shown no signs of improvement since she was found lifeless and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jerod made the allegations despite the fact that investigators found no evidence of foul play in Whitney Houston’s death. Her death was attributed to drug and heart problems, as Gossip Cop notes.
However, police investigators have not ruled out foul play in Bobbi Kristina’s case. But it is not known if Pat Houston has been the focus of investigation.
Bobbi’s boyfriend Nick Gordon, who recently checked himself into rehab after an interview on Dr. Phil show to be aired March 11, is under investigation.
Bobbi’s aunt Leolah Brown revealed that Gordon was under investigation in a post to her Facebook page over the weekend.
“Dr Phil, with all due respect. Nick Gordon is under investigation for the attempted murder of my niece Bobby Kristina Brown. We have strong evidence of foul play. Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit.”
Like Jerod, Leolah did not substantiate her claim that “there is strong evidence of foul play.”
Us Weekly reports that police have formally confirmed that there is an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Bobbi’s hospitalization. Gordon’s lawyer had said that he was cooperating with police investigators and that he “remains in constant prayer for his companion and he hopes to be reunited with her soon.”
Gordon, who is reportedly fighting an addiction issue, tweeted a suicidal message a day before Bobbi Kristina’s 22nd birthday.
Gossip Cop said that it reached out to the Houston family to comment on Jerod’s allegation. A family “insider” described the allegation as “insanity,” adding that Jerod was not “any way associated with the family.”
“He’s not in any way associated with the family. The police record speaks for itself.”
