The National Enquirer is set to publish a big spread in the upcoming issue featuring Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, 17, doing lines of cocaine. The website Hello Beautiful has a preview of that issue, which is out this week.
Whitney of course has faced a very public battle with drug addiction. Back in 2006, The National Enquirer had exclusive photos of Whitney’s trashed bathroom, complete with a crack pipe and drug paraphernalia. Then in September, 2009, Whitney went on Oprah ahead of her big comeback tour, saying that she was sober now and suggesting that her ex husband, Bobby Brown, had led her down a path of drug addiction.
Whitney told Oprah that she she took Bobbi Kristina with her to an “Atlanta drug rehab for mothers and children,” and that she told her the truth about what she was going through. It’s thought that Whitney never really got sober, though, and there were rumors last year that her erratic behavior on tour was caused by drugs.
Her parents’ addictions must have been pretty hard on Bobbi. According to the National Enquirer, she attempted to stab Whitney in 2008 at the age of just 15. Bobbi then tried to slit her wrists and was briefly put in a psych ward in a hospital in Atlanta for observation. Then late last year the National Enquirer published a photo of Bobbi brandishing a semi automatic gun that’s illegal to own under most circumstance, an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle.
So Bobbi Kristina is snorting cocaine just like the behavior she witnessed from her mom and dad while she was growing up. It’s sad, and hopefully she has some good people around her who can help her. It’s hard to imagine who that might be when she’s stuck with Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown as parents.

I’m shocked. >.>
It’s really sad, but not at all unexpected. Children can so easily fall into the patterns of their parent’s behaviors… This poor kid never really stood of chance of avoiding it.
Didn’t Whitney teach her that crack is whack?
It is always blamed on Bobby Brown, but Whitney chose to marry him. She is just as much trash as he is.
I am sooo loving those shoes
What an absolute shame. With parents like that, this girl never stood a chance.
Doomed from day 1…
Predictable and terribly sad.
@Flan I agree that she turned into trash but in the beginning I think she was just overwhelmed with bad-boy lust and she made some extremely poor decisions. I hope her daughter gets her shit together, with help and support from her family.
@Quest really?
Whitney is pathetic, she has had so many chances to make things right and hasn’t tried her best to change her habits. Alot of people continue to root for her, yet she’s still a crackhead.
What’s worse is now her daughter is following her footsteps. Anyone know is Bobbi is even a parental figure to Bobbi K? I honestly hope she can get her daughter help atleast.
Not really shocking, but tragic none the less.
Really sad, poor girl sounds really f’cked up &with her parents I guess no surprise.
I just wish these selfish drug addicted ‘stars’ would for one moment look at their children and put them first, (and yes Charlie I include u!)
Why was this child raised by her crazy, drugged out parents to begin with ?
If my memory doesn’t fail, Whitney’s mother tried to get sole custody of that child when she failed to save her own child from addiction and was forced to drop teh case because of Whitney blackmailing her to not have access anymore to her grand doaughter.
This child has whitnessed her parents fighting over drugs, has problably saw countless of time her mum becoming a wreck and lying in her own vomit.
No wonder that she is fucked up now.
Poor child, she never got a chance.
@flourpot:Please! Whitney was rumored to be snorting coke way before she hooked up w/Bobby Brown.
Whitney’s mother tried to intervene w/the raising of Bobbi K, but sadly the influence of the parents won out.
Damn shame…
One of the few singers with real talent and she ruined herself.
Hate to kick a kid while she’s down (up?) but MAN she is sooooooo unfortunate looking. She got all the Bobby.
That’s just really sad. Obvious and sad.
God bless. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have two completely irresponsible hardcore addicts as parents. The worst part is that they stil have money, and people still show them love…so really, what’s the deterrent?
The problem with “famous people” is that they have the money to fuel their addictions. It actually makes me really sad to see her go down the same path as her parents.
The truth is cocaine is really back on an upswing and in certain social circles it’s as common as smoking pot.
I wouldn’t doubt that Bobbi Kristina was born a crack baby.It is always sad when the parents are addicts, but it is absolutely heartbreaking when the parents allow their children to become adddicts, and worse, use drugs with them.
With those two for parents I’d be shocked if she wasn’t doing drugs. How sad. Hopefully she is young enough to turn this around and not have it define her life.
*makes home alone surprised face*
Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree..
Whitney sure looks like she had some funky work done to her face.
Looks like they removed part of her neck too!
I hope for the best for her but if I’m going to be honest, I think this is going to be tragic.
Am I the only one who didn’t realize Whitney and Bobby had procreated?
Uh. This makes me so sad. Does anyone else remember how gorgeous and talented Whitney Houston was in the 80s? She could have had any man, or woman, she wanted, and yet she married a jackhole like Bobby Brown? Sad, sad. Her daughter never had a chance.
the apple never falls far from the tree.
hey at least if she’s on a COKE DIET she’ll stay skinny!
@ liz
yes, I think you are 😉
I can remember being a kid in the 80’s and how amazing and talented Whitney Houston was. Now she’s just a joke. And unfortunately she brought her daughter down with her.
poor child.
I feel really bad for this girl. She had a pretty crappy childhood and I doubt that her “parents” will do much to help her now. Hopefully there are other family members who will step up and get this kid into treatment. She is a minor and can legally be forced to go to rehab. So sad.
@flourpot. Whitney was known to be an undercover drug user well before Bobby came along. I am not a fan of him AT ALL but I believe Whitney was headed down this path with or without him.
I feel horrible for Bobbi Kristina it seems she never had a chance to get out of this kind of thing. Whitney and Bobby would have done best to give her up to someone stable to raise.
You just knew it was gonna happen. Poor kid.
the poor girl looks just like her dad
As inevitable as this is it’s still a very sad story. My heart goes out to the girl.
Why are people are knocking the girl’s looks when its such sad smut?
Ditto Jazz’s comment.
Listen, grown ups, quit being selfish assholes. If you must continue being a selfish asshole, please don’t have children then. You will never love them as much as you love yourself anyway, so it shouldn’t matter if you have them or not, right?
Nothing pisses me off more. I see parents everyday exposing their children to their messed up lives, without regard to their well being. I wish I could punch those parents in the face sometimes. I have 5 children, I don’t claim to be the best mom ever, but I make sure I conduct my life in a way that respects their safety and comfort. I would never intentionally harm them. How does Whitney’s daughter really stand a chance at a normal heathly existence? It’s not impossible, but it’s very unlikely. Her entire life her parents have been addicted to drugs. Her shitty choices have ruined another human beings life, the life she gave birth to.
Even a year or two ago, she was still super “chubby”. I wonder if the cocaine helped her get skinny too?
That must be a tough family to grow up with! Hope she can overcome those issues.
This is sad. Not only did she inherit her parents propensity for substance abuse, but she looks just like Bobby Brown. I can’t believe there’s any money left in that family to even buy drugs.
OMG, remember their reality show. SO CRAZY! I was felt bad for Bobbi Kristina then, she always looked somewhere between mortified and “this is my life.”
This is so, so sad.
Sad…
@Roma, it’s not just that they have the cash to fuel the addictions, it’s that they have the cash and the status to avoid the legal ramifications. You know what happens to the average family when both parents are admitted, habitual users of heavy drugs? The kids get taken away, and if the parents don’t start cleaning up their acts immediately, they don’t get the kids back. I’ve worked on some of these cases and it’s terrible to see a parent actually trying to pull themselves together, only to have a court decide it’s not fast enough (no offense to the court – they are working to provide the child stability). And yet Whitney and Bobby got to screw this kid up, Courtney Love got 8 million chances to get Frances Bean back, and Brooke Mueller still has custody of the Sheen kids – even though BOTH she and Sheen have now been to rehab multiple times in the 2 years those kids have been alive!
It’s gross, and this is the result. Why is it that Bobbi Kristina’s chance for a healthy upbringing was more negotiable than the children of the average set of meth heads?
“OMG, remember their reality show.”
Who could forget the “I had to dig a doodie bubble out of your butt” moment? Now that’s true love…
Wow, saw this coming long ago. It’s sad, as we always hope that the children will learn from what they’ve experienced that drugs are not the way to a happy successful life.
@kbob—as bad as i feel for her going down the drug path…that’s ALL i could think!! She is her daddy in a dress!
This is the future of Charlie Sheen’s children. It’s your fault Bobbay….Bobbay Brown!
Fabgrrl I remember she was tops in the mid 80s the song and vid for How Will I know anyone – fun lighthearted dance pop at it’s best. Compare that song/vid to much of today’s crap. SHe is a shell of her former self.
Bobbi, she’s such a beautiful girl. I’m in tears after reading this. I felt that Whit wasn’t ready to tour; needed more time to recover, but was pushed into touring by those who should have had her best interests at heart. Just like Britney.
Time to recover is more important than fame, money, or anything else the world can offer. Pity her “people” didn’t see that.
So people want to take Christina Aguilera’s kid away coz she’s had a few boozy nights out ( which I still believe is legal for adults?? ), but Whitney and Bobby got to keep their kid and turn her into a drug-buddy. This story will not end well.
I’m so sad for this, I can’t even imagine what kind of “childhood” she had, and now this, and she’s not even 18.
This is Whitney’s fault along with Bobby’s- they should be ashamed. This is is truly sad and I hope she can get herself into rehab.
What the fuck is wrong with Child Protective Service? Why did they never take this child out of her parents home when they were publicly and privately abusing drugs? SO SAD!
TOTALLY agree with Roma (#18) Cocaine is on the uprise BIG time! I can see how Bobbi K would think it was ok to do being raised around it and seeing other kids doing it on top of that. I’m 24 and I’ve gone to parties where it’s been laid out casually on the table like the equivalent of smoking a weed. Both are illegal drugs but cocaine is on a much more dangerous level. I refuse to touch the stuff because I had a half sister who’s life was DEMOLISHED by it and she’s still picking up the pieces at 32
@devilgirl: Agreed.
This is sad news about their daughter. Poor thing never really stood a chance. I hope she gets the help she needs.
If Xtina isn’t careful- this could be her sons future.
(IMO Whitney in her hey day was waaaaayy more talented than Xtina ever was).
poor kid — she definitely has the cards stacked against her. 🙁

Remember how happy and healthy was Whitney here? such a shame… poor kid
She even has someone to hold the tray for her.
Oh please. It’s not as if she doesn’t know what she’s doing. Big deal!
Like mother, like daughter. It’s not like Whitney was ever a smart apple. Most of these singers don’t even finish their educations. You only have to listen to them speak to know it.
They are some of the most stupid people on this planet; if they didn’t have PAs they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves or wouldn’t know where their next appearance is on. Beyonce included (with her accepting a fee from Gaddafi. It doesn’t matter if she donated the money, she still got up off her fat ass for the dictator.) Greed governs them.
“Then late last year the National Enquirer published a photo of Bobbi brandishing a semi automatic gun that’s illegal to own under most circumstance, an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle.”
False. Semi-automatic AR-15’s are perfectly legal (except in California, but everything’s banned there); check your facts. And despite what the caption on the linked photo says, it’s not a machine gun.
I wonder if we were talking about Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain’s daughter would she be receiving more sympathy.
unfortunate nose she’s got there.
you could tent a wedding with those nostrils.
Hmm, I think if we were talking about Frances Bean Cobain, the reaction would be much of the same. It wouldn’t surprise anyone, but it’s a shame nonetheless.
If I had to share a cab with either a drugged out Whitney or Courtney Love, I’d pick Whitney all day long. Courtney scares me.
@kwoww and all you other b*tches, I’m sure you are more beautiful and perfect than 99% of the planet…
I mean c’mon, what is wrong with you??? This girl is not even a celeb, she is a daughter of a couple of celebs and she is obv f*cked up due to her addict parents and all your small brains care about is that she doesn’t look like a supermodel!! You are disgusting and I pity your small minded bigoted selves
Poor girl, as someone said, doomed since her birth. Sometimes you regret being born in a house of (ex) rich and famous.
The nostrils ! Dilation due to c*ke ?
Soooooo sad. I really hope this is one story that isnt true.
No surprise, sadly. But please – did you see BK’s twitter responses? Invoking the Lord and the Hallelujiah Choir. Guess she’s young enough to think we might buy that.
The fruit doesn’t fall far from the crack tree.
#37 – That’s exactly what I thought, she was a bit over weight last year and now she is skinny again. Must be back on those drugs.
Does anyone know if Bobbi can sing?
People with all the anwers to all the problem. Please this country is so mess up with all your judgeing. Let Mrs. Whitney handle The love she has for her daughter. Stay strong as a family. I need to hear you sing some more for me. A true love for your music.Don’t let them make you weak,GOD got you and yours forever, Keep your head up this is only the begining, remember Whitney this is only a test. Why not your daughter, hold her tight baby. GOD GOT YOU. LOVE ALWAYS Laura
And now she is gone … end of discussion.
I agree with you – Laura – that God holds us all. And I will pray for Whitney, Bobbi and all the families to battle addiction.
bobby brown has been critisized for all the wrong reasons bt pple shud look beyond ! How comes bad boy with such bad reputation seems to be rehabilitated After their divorce. It might be she used the bad boy image to cover-up her mess of lesbiansm and drugs. Pls enough blames, let pray for rest for the late & wish the ex well & above all best for their only child.
