R&B star Bobby Brown has filed legal papers seeking guardianship of
his daughter Bobbi Kristina’s estate as she continues to fight for her
life following a near-drowning incident in January. Brown’s only child
with the late Whitney Houston remains under doctors’ care in Atlanta,
almost three months after she was found faced down and unconscious in a
bathtub at her Roswell home.
The 22-year-old’s maternal
grandmother, Cissy Houston, recently revealed the aspiring actress is
still unresponsive and has suffered irreversible brain damage, and now
Brown has asked a Georgia judge to place him in charge of his daughter’s
estate, according to 11alive.com, a news affiliate of America’s NBC
network.
Cissy Houston’s attorney, David W. Long, has since
responded to Brown’s filing, stating: “This is a family matter involving
sensitive information. We hope to resolve this in a manner that is
respectful of Bobbi Kristina’s sensitive health information.
“The
Houston family has always looked out for the best interest of Bobbi
Kristina Brown. The family has done so all of her life and will continue
to do so. We trust that others have the same objective.”
Bobbi
Kristina is currently receiving treatment at the DeKalb Medical Center, a
longterm rehabilitation facility, following her move from Atlanta’s
Emory University Hospital.
