New details emerge about Bobbi Kristina

-

When Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died in July almost six months after being found facedown and unresponsi­ve in a bathtub, the eerie similariti­es to her mother’s death only added to fans’ heartbreak. Houston, after all, had been found the same way in 2012, with cocaine in her system the day before the Grammy Awards.

Now, new details about Bobbi Kristina’s final days have emerged that make her demise seem all the more similar to her mother’s. In parts of a Sept. 24, 2015 deposition in a Georgia civil lawsuit that was obtained by Radar Online and WXIA TV in Atlanta, a friend who lived with the 21-year-old in her Georgia home testified to Bobbi Kristina’s penchant for drugs.

“I had believed she had done — she smoked marijuana, she probably smoked crack often, and also did heroin,” Danyela D. Bradley said. Her testimony was sometimes contradict­ory — she also said Bobbi Kristina smoked crack “like once or twice every two weeks,” and smoked crack or did heroin “very, very few times” in her presence. Asked specifical­ly about heroin, Bradley said, “I never seen her do it.”

Bradley’s testimony came in a deposition for Eckerman vs. Ford Motor, a case filed by a man Bobbi Kristina allegedly injured in a car accident just days before she was found nonrespons­ive. However, Bradley’s testimony may have significan­t impact on a wrongful-death suit filed by Bobbi Kristina’s conservato­r against her partner, Nick Gordon, who allegedly gave her “a toxic cocktail” the day she lost consciousn­ess.
