Dang, this family sounds like a trainwreck. I wonder if there is some sort of class warfare between the Browns and the Houstons. Because the Houstons always seem more put together than the Browns, even though their history seems to be just as (or more) tarnished. That's got to bug the Browns. It's easier to blame Whitney (and Bobbi Kristina)'s problems on Bobby Brown than for them to admit they are just as dysfunctional. Bobby was a shitty parent, but it's clear Whitney was too. I'm not sure BK's story would have ended any better had Whitney lived. The big difference is that the media has favored the Houstons. Like this photo leak, people are assuming it's the Brown family. I wouldn't put it past Pat Houston herself to try to get some easy money.

Whitney's parents never divorced or separated, AFAIK, so I'm assuming her dad was around and not a very effective parent either.

I wouldn't put it past Pat Houston herself to try to get some easy money. There's precedent. The Enquirer also printed a picture of Whitney in her casket taken during the viewing. The person who took it was some sleaze ball who had wormed his way into Whitney's inner circle years ago, BEFORE Pat became Whitney's manager. So they all knew him. Also, he was real friendly with Pat around the time of the funeral. Flew to the funeral together on a private jet, rode up to the church in the limo together (he the only non-family member in the limos). But neither Pat nor the Houston family have ever put that man on blast. Never. I guess they were too busy pocketing the money from it and from selling video and pictures from the funeral to the tabloids and Entertainment Tonight.

Wasn't Pat also the one who took pictures of Whitney and Bobby's trashed-out home and sold them to the tabloids?

I wish the Houston and Brown families would all just go away. And I agree with what was written upthread: I hope the lawyers take all the money from Whitney's estate and these bottom-feeders never see a dime of it.

The Houston/Brown families didn't have anything to do with the release of the autopsy results. That was the local media, who have been doing a story about the heroin triangle in the suburbs. Bobbi Christina lived in the triangle, so they wanted to use her as proof it could happen to anyone.
The results might actually exonerate Nick Gordon. He's still a little shit and probably supplied her with drugs, though.

I think I had heard the family (families) wanted the autopsy results suppressed, but the appropriate municipal agency had ruled that they were of public record. I wonder whether one will ever know what truly happened here (unless Nick Gordon decides to talk, which I doubt), and whether Nick's involvement in Bobbi Kristina's death was accidental, of depraved indifference, or intentional. It may be cliché, but it bears repeating that she truly never had a chance. I hope Bobby Brown's kids with his new wife are subjected to better circumstances.

I watched a three part investigative report a month or so ago about the explosion of heroin use and heroin-related deaths among affluence young people in a distinct geographical area on the north side of Atlanta. Bobbi Christina was mentioned as one of the possible heroin-related deaths. (At the time her records hadn't been released.) I know Bobbi comes from a super dysfunctional background with addict parents, but this gave additional context to the broader environment in which she lived. Lots of rich kids dying.

Still makes me so sad. Poor girl.
