Pain, blame from Bobby on deaths

Bobby Brown is opening up about the November loss of son Bobby Jr. and doubling down on his claim foul play contributed to the deaths of daughter Bobbi Kristina and ex-wife Whitney Houston.

The “My Prerogative” singer spoke out during a sit-down interview on Jada Pinkett Smith’s chat show “Red Table Talk,” saying he still believes Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon had a role in the eerily similar deaths of his daughter and ex-wife.

“He was the only one there with both situations, with my ex-wife and with my daughter, and they both died the same way,” Brown, 52, said in the episode released Wednesday.

“So you think that he killed Whitney as well?” Pinkett Smith’s daughter and co-host Willow Smith asked. “I believe so,” Brown replied. Gordon was the 12-year-old son of one of Houston’s friends when the pop star star took him in as an unofficially adopted son. He started dating Bobbi Kristina after Houston accidentally drowned in a Beverly Hills hotel room with cocaine in her system on Feb. 11, 2012, at age 48.

Bobbi Kristina was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her Georgia townhouse three years later at the age of 22.

She lingered in a coma for six months and died July 26, 2015, in hospice care.

The official cause of death was listed as lobar pneumonia stemming from drowning “associated with drug intoxication.”

Gordon was found legally responsible for Bobbi Kristina’s death in 2016 but denied any wrongdoing. He died of a heroin overdose in January 2020.

Addressing the Nov. 18 fentanyl death of his 28-year-old son, Bobby Jr., Brown said the loss of yet another child, one only a year apart in age from Bobbi Kristina, hit him “really, really hard.”

“Losing him was very, very unexpected, just like losing my daughter. We were just in the studio two nights before,” he said.
