Bobby Brown blames Nick Gordon for the deaths of Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown
During his interview with Jada Pinkett Smith on Red Table Talk, Bobby Brown was asked if he thought that Nick Gordon, his late daughter's fiance, had supplied Bobbi Kristina Brown with drugs. "Definitely," he responded. He went on to place the blame of both Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina's deaths squarely on Gordon's shoulders. "He was the only one there with both situations with my ex-wife and my daughter, and they both died the same way," he said.
Speaking specifically about his daughter's relationship with Gordon, Bobby Brown said that she was "stuck in a relationship — an abusive relationship — with a boy that basically controlled her to the point where her life was taken." Bobby further opened up about losing Houston and his daughter. "It was rough, and it still is rough. I think about it every day. [The pain is] pushed down. I'm keeping it away from me as much as possible because I couldn't do nothing then and I can't do anything now," he said. Gordon was investigated for "attempted murder" following the death of Bobbi Kristina, according to People. Gordon was never charged, however, and he died following a heroin overdose in January 2020, according to TMZ.
