Cissy Houston Doesn't Think Bobby Brown Will Ever Help Bobbi Kristina

Tue, February 21, 2012 9:28pm EDT by Hollywood Life Staff 56 Comments

Bobby Brown talks the talk, but never follows through with actions to help his daughter, HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively.

Bobby Brown drew fire after choosing to leave Whitney Houston‘s funeral when not all members of his nine-person entourage — seven of whom were not even invited — could be accommodated. We were shocked to learn that Bobby wasn’t by his daughter Bobby Kristina Brown‘s side during her mother’s funeral, especially given her fragile state. Now, a source close to the Houston family is saying that Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy Houston, believes her former son-in-law has not stepped up as a father since Whitney’s tragic passing.

“As far as Bobby Brown is concerned, Cissy wants him to stay as far away as possible because she thinks he is a negative influence. Bobby Brown talks a lot about how he wants to help his daughter but he never follows it up with action. Bobby is all about Bobby and if he really cared about his daughter, he would have stayed at the funeral,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

“He is just trying to come across like this concerned father, but he isn’t,” the insider adds.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Does Bobby really care about Bobbi Kristina, or is he only worried about publicity?

When will ppl. stop putting blame where it doesn’t belong? Bobby Brown needs a relationship with his daughter & ALL other uninterested parties need to step back!!! Where i s the so called christian love & forgiveness that GOD has taught us about? Life is too short as we seen in the case of Whitney & i don’t think she would be happy with the way things are going!!!!! If you proclaim to be a christian act like one!!!!! We loved Whitney but she wasn’t perfect & it’s time to let the healing began & act like you would want to be treated. There is only one perfect one & that’s “OUR LORD”

May Whitney RIP. I agree that Bobby Brown should try to get involved with his daughter’s Bobbi Kristina’s life before she becomes distance to him. No matter what Bobby Brown is her father and you only get one father. Bobbi Kristina now that you are on your own you will need to keep GOD first in your life and never let go of your father. Take the first step to contact your father and never stop. I know from experience. GOD will put you two together no matter who likes it. You see GOD said how can we love him and we don’t love our mother,father, sister, brother,family, or neighbor. My prayers are with you.GOD BLESS ALL.

Bobby only cares about himself, he should have stayed at funeral to show some support and respect for his daughter, what kind of father does he call himself.

WHITNEY IS IN A BETTER PLACE. BOBBI KRISTINA NEEDS TO GET CLOSER TO GOD. SHE ALSO NEEDS TO BE WITH HER FATHER AND NOT BE BITER TOWARDS HIM. WHITNEY N BOBBY WAS TOGETHER A LONG TIME. SHE LOVED HER HUSBAND AND SHE LOVED HER DAUGHTER; SHE ADMITTED THAT ON OPRAH’S TALK SHOW AND AT LIVE CONCERTS SHE HELD. I WISH PEOPLE WILL STOP BLAMEING BOBBY FOR WHITNEY DRUG USE. OTHER CELEBRITIES ADMITTED THEY AND WHITNEY GOT HIGH WAY BACK IN THE DAY TOGETHER. WHITNEY IS RESTING NOW, BOBBY NEEDS TO TAKE OVER AND GAIN A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS DAUGHTER, DON’T WORRY ABOUT PUBLICITY. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TALK REGARDLESS; SO WHAT, BOBBY GO BE WITH YOU AND WHITNEY’S BABY. SHE NEEDS YOU NOW IF SHE NEVER NEED YOU BEFORE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER BECAUSE SHE’S YOUNG AND TRYING TO FIND HER WAY IN LIFE. IT’S GONE BE HARD BUT SHE WITH MAKE IT JUST TRUST GOD ALMIGHTY, DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAY OFF DRUGS IT’S NOT GOOD FOR YOU. LORD PLEASE BE WITH HER IN JESUS NAME, AMEN

You need to turn off the Caps Lock, learn how to spell, and brush up on conjugating verbs before concerning yourself with other people’s issues.

While it is sad that Whitney’s family and Bobby are disfunctional, it is what it is. Wasting your time on something so inconsequential is a pathetic waste of time. If society paid half the attention to their own lives that they do on useless drama, they would be centered, calm, serene and stable. All of which are quite necessary to raise mature, stable and healthy children.

…just sayin

Cissy Houston knows a lot of what went on in her daughter’s marriage than what anyone else knows. She is using her judgement of what she knows to make decisions that will help her granddaughter come to terms with her mother’s death. She doesnt want a granddaughter having her life spiralling out of control after losing her daughter. Bobby Brown will only think of himself & that is evident when he left Whitney Houston’s funeral as he didn’t care about his daughter or was concerned about how she was coping as it was all about him making a fuss over the seating arrangement. How childish can a grown man get behaving like that at a funeral … He doesnt care about anyone except himself & Cissy Houston knows his character better than anyone does, so its her judgement that is a good one when she does give a damn about what happens to her granddaughter cos Bobby Brown couldn’t care less.

I will say this if this true Ms. Cissy is suppose to a GOD fearing woman. WIth that being said she suppose to keep faith in all men b/c anyone can change..Fact of the matter is I love Whitney but she choose the life she lived no one made her do drugs and act in the manner she did..Everyone has demons that we battle and MS.Cissy needs to step back and realize this too..And the ppl with him was his kids who had grew to love whitney with respect as a mother figure so that was just plain wrong for them not to be invited..I tell this Christains now a days make you think hard about religion.

When we can understand that its not about religion, its about relationship with God that matters. Cissy Houston is a God-fearing Woman of God that is trying to cover her grand-daughter. We don’t know the truth, not even the newspapers and different sites that is publishing things about Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina and her relationship with Bobby Brown. The bottom line to the whole situation regarding Bobby Brown leaving the funeral. He was given specifics regarding the invite and how many. If Bobby Brown was about Bobbie Kristina, he would have adhered to the request given to bring only the amount he was given because if you look at the funeral, you will notice that all the seats were taken. If Bobby Brown was not given an invite to bring 9 people, why do that anyway and get mad because the other 7 couldn’t be accomondated. Leaving showed that he didn’t walk in maturity to be there for his daughter during one of the hardest times of her life and he chose not to. His actions to leave didn’t reflect Ms. Cissy, it reflected his attitude to not do the right thing. All the rest of the things that are taking place in regards to his relationship with his daughter will come together in God’s time.

Nobody knows for sure whether or not Whitney Houston went to heaven.I hope for her sake that she asked for forgiveness for her sins before she died.And furthermore,I hope she had a personal relationship with God.That is the only way that she and the rest of us will inherit the kingdom of God.Talents that we have does not get us into Heaven, neither does our looks, or how much money we have.That is a misconception.Yes she could sing and she had a very beautiful voice she sang the Star Spangled Banner like no other,made it a hit,but did she receive Christ as her personal savior?Did she make Jesus a hit in her life?I don’t know for sure like everyone else doesn’t know.So people need to stop saying that she went to heaven.I hope she did, but only if she repented.

What I love about God, He is the only one knows where Whitney Houston has gone.

It comes a time in life that you have to forget about yourself and those around you and put what is important first and foremost in dealing with a LIFE. Bobby Brown, need to disregard the publicity the engaged girlfriend, the future shows, bookdealers, etc. Be a Father like his dad was to him and deny himself and get the time he need with him and Bobbi Kristina if he isn’t already there. A young lady has been in pain many many years cause of her parents but he has to acknowledge that and realize she needs him and is in deep pain and if he have to fight for time with no one but the two of them to help her get through this then so be it for it should have never been a doubt in his mind tomorrow might be too late for this is his daughter out of anything else in this world he got to make it right with them and get her on the right track. Wow God be with them.

yes..yes..Amen to what you said.but i am so tired of reading about bobbi kristina&her grandma.her grandma[cissy]because i think that the houston family has brainwashed that vulnerable child to be against her father,and convinced her to even drop his last names,which makes me think how was[bobby brown&whitney's relationship[after their divorce]were they cordial to each other,how close was bobby brown to his daughter.

Who told you that? Were you there? Bobby Brown should have adhered to the invite request and bring the amount that he was given. To not adhere to what was given was disrespect and attention drawn to him when he left. Bobby Brown was out of order to bring 7 more people when they were not on the list. I don’t believe the family or people are hating on Bobby Brown, but he made an unwise decision that day to not put his daughter 1st. It was about Bobbi Kristina, not him and what he wanted in regards to not adhering to common sense request and that is 3 not 7 more.
