Bobbi Kristina Is In The Hospital

Well, here's just another layer of sad on another layer of sad. TMZ, who else, reported about an hour ago that Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina was taken out of the Beverly Hilton this morning on a stretcher. I've been sitting on it, because I've been waiting to hear more. TMZ hasn't updated their post yet, but ABC News was told that Bobbi Kristina was awake and alert when paramedics took her to Cedars-Sinai. Someone's publicist (ABC doesn't say whose) says that Bobbi Kristina is suffering from major anxiety. People also reports that Bobbi Kristina went to Cedars last night after having a breakdown.

I've got nothing except one question: Why in the hell isn't Bobaaay B in L.A. already?

He's not there because he knows he's responsible.

I don't think they should have cancelled the pre Grammy party, but if I were here friend or close collegue who knew her for years, I would have skipped it. It's in bad taste to party when someone close to you has died, and her daughter and family members are grieving. Poor BK is in the hospital because she is overwhelmed. Who knows if she has the proper support, of if there is not enough support in the world to get over the loss of your mom in these circumstances at her age. I didn't watch the Grammys (I never do) but I would probably have found all the talk of Whitney exploitative. And all this gossip (you know her death was what most talked about at the pre and post parties), is really in bad taste, but human nature. The only judgement I have for Whitney is this: It was reported that she took Xanax before she sang. If you can't do your job without drugs, well, maybe you should not do that job anymore. I think these stars get so addicted to the fame and money and the applause... they can't see how the business is killing them. The day I have to take drugs so I can do my job, is the day I need to look for another job. I'm sure Whitney had no intention of ever leaving her daughter behind like this, but one has to wonder, why even start with all these incredibly addictive pain killers and sedatives especially if you already know you are a recovering substance abuser. Hollywood.

Why shouldn't they? It's not their fault she acted the way she did.

I can only imagine what she must be going through. I only hope she gets through this ok. Peace be with her.

Her body isn't even cold and her own peers are having a partay & being photographed with big ol grins. Fucking LA....Just incomprehensible to me.

I don't know if this has been posted here before but:

Bobby Brown arrived at LAX a few hours ago
The Coroner finished up the autopsy earlier today
BHPD is withholding the results until the tox screen is completed (est 6-8 weeks)
It is being reported that prescription bottles of Anti-Anxiety and Sleeping medications (among others) were found in Whitney's room
The Grammy after-parties are in full swing as if NOTHING had happened. The one at Capital Records is one big fame whore magnet (Pararite Hilton was in full Strike-a-Pose mode)

After all these pages of comments, I'm STILL trying to wrap my head around the fact that assholes were still partying while Whitneys body layed died upstairs and everyone was all jovial all. Then Diana Ross saying tonight 'aren't we all having fuuuunnn!?!!! Bitch stfu and sit the fuck down, I'm extremely appalled @ how Whitneys peers are handling this.

I'm not saying people have to be balling and depressed to express grief but damn!!! Its like nothing happened, and Etta James didn't even get a shout out @ the Grammys.

This shit is tooo fucking eery and weird.

some folks' opinions are indeed a tad internally inconsistent

just repeating what another poster said in previous thread -- they believed that New Edition's contract had provision that the entire group goes on or no one gets paid or performs. if so, explains why BB performed last night -- there were 5(?) other performers and others counting on him to show last night so they could get paid.

Hey Adolf, sounds like you could use some Xanax and a nice long bath.

Judging by the photos of BK published in recent years, she's just as fucked up as her parents. Good luck with that, kid.

AtomicCity, all I can say is thank you for posting that. *hugs*

Quit painting Bobby as a monster.

He seems to have weaned himself off the drugs and has moved on and started a new life and family. Whitney also moved on with her life (hello, Ray-J)

******************

Yes, and people said Whitney seemed to be making a comeback and was clean.

Addicts say that they clean all the time. Unless you are there 24/7 you have no idea whether they are clean and sober. Since history is usually the best indicator, I tend not to believe the addict.

BTW, he's been his own worst enemy you know, unless you call multiple arrests and failure to pay child support no big deal.

The times I've gotten really weepy about Whitney's death is when I've seen footage of her with little Bobbi K.

For some reason, maybe because I have daughters (and I am one), it gets me.

WTF. Larry King is on CNN talking about the Clive Davis Grammy party.

First of all, Clive Davis DID ATTEND the party.

Secondly, he's talking about how great Tony Bennett performed and how they handed out awards and shit and it's like WHAT THE HAYLE dude. This is some fucked up shit. Do these people not have a conscience??? I'm sick to my stomach.

I'm not sure if anyone here has actually dealt with lifelong, clinical anxiety, but the same pills everyone is trashing help me live a normal life. I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars on docs, psychs, treatment, counselling, ER trips for severe, PAINFUL physical symptoms of anxiety/panic. Like deep nerve pain, headaches, muscular spasms, TMJ that wrecks my whole upper body. I've tried everything - EVERYTHING - and benzos are the only thing that help in that moment of panic. Obviously I use other therapies, but if I didnt have benzos just in case of a severe panic attack, I couldn't leave the house. This is from someone who suffers multiple panic attacks DAILY, not someone who "gets stressed". My anxiety is chemical and inherited from family, not the result of normal day-to-day stresses.

I was Bobbi Kristina's exact same age when my dad died at the age of 47. I had my mom and siblings there with me, and together we got through it. It breaks my heart to think that she's alone at some hospital dealing with all of this at once and without family nearby. I'm praying for her.

All those who say that Whitney was a crackhead and have no sympathy...you can honestly go fuck yourselves. Yes, she made bad choices, but at the end of the day she's someone's mother, daughter, friend, cousin, etc. It's not like her death hurts *less* because of the circumstances. It's a tragedy nonetheless, and my heart aches for those closely affected.

With her parents and all their problems it's probably unlikely she was taught coping skills that would get her through this kind of tragedy. Crack is whack. My guess is she's sedated in the ER and will be released or put in Mt Sinai's psych ward for a few days. She looks exactly like her father. Exactly like Bobby Brown.

Whitney was the one who introduced Bobby to the hard drugs. That whole glammed up barbie doll, squeaky clean look was at the urging of her record company. They were 2 peas in a pod.

Towards the end, Bobby and Whitney had an amicable relationship. Whitney performed at Bobby's mother's funeral in January. Yep, he just lost his mother last month.

I hope that Bobbi Kristina can pull herself together and lead a sane, normal life like Nona Gaye, Lisa Marie Presley and Frances Bean.

Water seeks it's own level, so Whitney sought a partner just like herself, and let's not be foolish about it, that she was some high toned, recreational drug user until "addict" Bobby Brown got a hold of her. She was a grown ass woman who knew her way around drugs before meeting Brown, and it is really easy to place blame on him because he didn't have her goody two shoes rep, all designed by Clive Davis, like she had, but make no mistake, she was older than him and not some innocent lamb who was led astray by Brown. She liked Brown because he was what she was, a drug user. Pure and simple. NO ONE forced her to do anything as far as drug use, and Brown, as scummy as he may have been attempted to stop many times and Whitney didn't want to, and that is something, she herself admitted.

She was a great singer, but she was not a perfect person. No one can make you an addict but you. FACT!

Hekki's picture

I keep saying this but maybe Bobbi K distanced herSELF from her family. Maybe it's not that they aren't there for her but she doesn't want them to be.

Look it is common knowledge that Booby Brown never met a drug he did not like and he was addicted. Now Whitney may have used before him but she was not an addict...Bobby was an ADDICT in every sense of the word. Nasty low rent effen nikka will get his come uppins because he treated Whitney like a dirty diaper...anyway...Her mother and dionne did an intervention with law enforcement and health care people and got legal papers to have her put into rehad and take Bobbi when she was a baby...and that had a good outcome for a bit on the situation but she needed to lose about 170 pounds of weight(Booby Brown)that JACK a z z should have been the one to OD...no one will miss his ghetto ripped muggly a z z when he is gone...that is fo' sho"

He's still her father, but what if he's a father who still abuses drugs? What if he enables his daughter, who has already dabbled in coke, to self-medicate?

I'm just saying a bio bond does not necessarily mean that this person is the one who should comfort.

-------------------------
I really do appreciate and respect that you've toned-down the "shoving a crackpipe in Bobbi's face" rhetoric, and that you are concerned about her welfare. I'll just say that as a kid who's had a shitty Dad, a lot of kids still want their shitty Dads to be around during tough times, no matter how messed up that sounds to other people.

Bobby has probably been a bad influence and maybe he's still on drugs but unless you really think he's going to show up and shove a crack pipe in B Kirstinas mouth then I think he should be there for her. They probably both need each other right now.

I find it interesting how there's almost near universal opinion that Bobby Brown is the catalyst to Whitney's downfall. So why the fuck do people think HE needs to be by his daughter's side now? To light her crackpipe?
-------------------------------

Because he's still her FATHER. My dad was a fuckwit who was estranged from me and my mom, but when she died, he had an unspoken obligation to STEP THE FUCK UP, even though I seriously resisted it. And I'm glad to say that he has.

I'm not sure I even believe in prayer, but I'll be praying for Bobbi Kristina. Poor kid. I hope TMZ keeps their distance.

*********************

Actually, Whitney did coke before she got with Brown. People assume because of her goody-goody image she was an innocent, but I remember reading years ago how she was doing coke and Clive Davis freaked the fuck out on her and told her to get it straight that she had an image to keep up, and this was way before Brown.

**************************************

Okay, I'll restate it: there's near universal agreement that he enabled her and helped her slide progress.

My point is: if this guy is as big a shit as we all know he is, whether or not he is her father, he may not be what she needs. If she's already abusing drugs someone who may also be using and will help her self-medicate might not be the proper person to be around her.

Fuck.

Bobby, your daughter needs you.

--I doubt it. She needs some sane people around her...and I've been wondering, where were cousin Dionne and godmother Aretha when Whitney's parents were on drugs, and now when Bobbi Kristina was born to parents on drugs? How come no family member came in to help or have the child taken away to a better place? And none of the handlers cared about this child? People just don't help each other, and it makes me sick. If my friend/cousin/whoever I care about was on drugs and had a baby, I would do everything I could to take that kid to a safe place, even at the cost of friendship. Poor thing.
