Remember how Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was bragging about how she was about to get a reality show? According to the Enquirer, that show is filming now in L.A. This comes on the heels of several photo scandals with Krissi, 18, one of which included photos of her snorting cocaine at two different parties in the Atlanta area, and another in which she was photographed holding an illegal semi-automatic rifle. Well Krissi has befriended another celebrispawn who took matters into her own hands in an as-of-yet vain attempt to score a reality show too – Montana Fishburne, 19.
You may recall Montana as the barely legal daughter of Laurence Fishburne who put out a sex tape. Montana has mentioned several times that she went into pr0n hoping to follow Kim Kardashian’s route to fame. She also was arrested for prostitution in 2009, and was recently charged for assaulting a woman, rumored to be another hooker who double-crossed Montana’s pimp boyfriend. So Montana is bad news to say the least, and would of course be a terrible influence on someone like Bobbi Kristina. Why am I not surprised at all that they’re fast friends now that Bobbi has moved to L.A.? Whitney is said to be beside herself since she was hoping that her daughter would do well with the reality show to distract her and away from her friends in Atlanta. It sounds like Whitney is being way too permissive with her daughter as usual:
Whitney Houston thought she’d come up with the perfect plan to keep her daughter Bobbi Kristina off of drugs – she arranged for the troubled teen to star in a new reality show so she’d be too busy to get high!
But Whitney’s scheme has backfired.
Since arriving in Los Angeles to film the show – which focuses on the 18 year-old’s efforts to break into the music business – Krissi has stunned Whitney by spending time with Montana Fishburne, the pr0n star daughter of actor Laurence Fishburne…
“Whitney thought she was getting Krissi away from her loser druggie friends in Atlanta by keeping her busy shooting a reality show in L.A.,” divulged a close family friend. “But now she’s hangnig out with more troubled people!
“Krissi’s even telling Whitney it would be fun to appear in a pr0n video with Montana! Whitney doesn’t know which way to turn.”
After the Enquirer published sensational photos in March of Bobbi Kristina snorting lines of cocaine, a tearful Whitney begged her to go into rehab.
She also showed tough love by returning Krissi’s 18th birthday present, a Lexus convertible, to the dealership.
Whitney paid $49,000 for a 30-day program for the teen at a prestigious Atlanta rehab center, says the pal, but the singer panicked when she realized Kriss might divulge sordid details about her mom’s own drug use during group counseling sessions.
“Finally, Whitney decided the best rehab for Krissi would be to keep her busy doing something she loved,” said the insider. “Knowing that Krissi is always talking about getting into the music business, Whitney got a production company to agree to turn Krissi’s dream into a reality show.”

So instead of sending her daughter to rehab for doing drugs, Whitney set her up with a reality show and a whole music career and thought she was doing her a favor. At least she took away the new car, but I’m sure the girl has another car from Whitney’s fleet to drive and has all her bills, food and clothing paid for. That’s not tough love, that’s enabling! You wouldn’t expect Whitney to know how to keep someone off drugs, she’s battled with addiction for years and has only just recently kicked them herself.
Meanwhile Montana Fishburne is a nasty piece of work who thinks the way to stardom is on her back. She is in no way apologetic about breaking her famous dad’s heart by going into adult films, either. It’s sad, but she probably has a lot in common with Whitney’s daughter.

Sure, give them a reality show, that will take care of the problem.
I’m not surprised about Bobbi Kristina but poor Laurence Fishbourne!
That is one unfortunate looking child.
I am somewhat surprise by Bobbi running wild.
After witnessing all the cracktastic behavior of her parents. I would have hoped she would have a solid reason to avoid drugs, at all cost.
How can you grow up in a home with drugged out parents and think “dang I want to be a crack head too!”
“It looks really cool! I want to have a full set of dentures by 30! Cause my meth mouth cause all my teeth to rot out.”
This is not going to end well.
Concur with you, #2….she certainly is “unfortunate” looking.
This sort of thinking just makes me laugh. Yes, yes, by all means, give the kid a reality show. After all, the camera and sound guys will babysit her for you, right Whit? Oh my. And not surprised at all that those two would become fast friends. They probably do have some things in common since they both grew up with famous parent/s. Too bad for Whit and Bobbi Kristina that the Montana chick appears to be totally toxic. Good luck.
In that last pic Montana looks like Wanda from in living color. (that feels really mean) but that’s what I see.
This is a sad situation all around and I do not want to belittle it in any way. I wouldn’t be surprised if BK was born a drug a baby, watched her parents get high all her life, and does not know any different. Something that does surprise me about this post is the amount of money and pull in Hollywood Whitney Huston still seems to have. I am kind of amazed that she can get her daughter any kind of show, even if it is only a budget reality show.
Whitney threw away her life when she married Bad Boy Bobbie – she had it all and then tossed it. Their child sounds like she liked what she saw in that household and wants it in her life – makes no sense to me.
And to think she is now friends with Ms. Fishburne – mamma mia – what a duo from hell they are!
Poor Laurence, I really feel for him – to see how his daughter turned out must be painful. And sadly, I think she has just started down the road to nowhere with her new best friend!
This girl is a trainwreck in training. Lets hope we don’t see Will Smith’s kids doing crap like this in a few years.
You have to wonder what kind of parenting BOTH of them had to turn out like this. Montana Fishburne is a beautiful girl, and I feel sad for her family because she’s clearly acting out in some hideous way, but somewhere she got the idea that fame is its own reward and anything you do to get famous is okay. Bobbi Kristina no doubt watched some bizarre shit while she was growing up with Whitney and Bobby, and here are the results. And I think Bobbi’s life is going to be complicated by the fact that she seems to have been born with bitchface. Poor thing.
Hopefully it is just her features because she has the “hard” look and she is toooo young to have gotten from alotta d!(k 0_o
So Whitney sent her daughter TO LA in the hope that she’d stay off drugs?

Wow, that’s harsh.

I’d dearly like to believe this wasn’t true. That the woman would deprive her own daughter of rehab simply because she was more concerned about what her daughter might say about HER in group therapy.
And the Bobbie-Whitney crack legacy lives on. . .
Time to file this sad story under ‘Least Surprising Turn of Events’. Even working under the assumption that she was surrounded by a lot of concerned and responsible adults-save her parents, with all of the stories about the excesses of her parents over the last 20 years, this may have been a foregone conclusion. I’d be more surprised if the story didn’t take this unsettling, but hopefully temporary route, and if (big ‘if’) the rehab story has any merit to it, Whitney had better get her damned mind off of the ‘roost’ and focus on sorting out the ‘home’ part. I mean, God bless Whitney, she was ablaze in the days during which she was on fire, but (yeah, I’ll bite).
I’ve always wondered what kind of person would marry Bobby Brown, whose track record was far, far, FAR from clear by the early ’90s. I don’t know any of these people from Adam, but surface details still make me think in spite of my self that the answer is a weak-willed one. But I wasn’t there. And while it was midnight vigils for the poor innocent girl who was corrupted by her evil husband, I know I wasn’t the only one who thought that while her decline was such a huge and waste, the woman had her own brain and own free will and if she thought she was grown enough to go out and get married, she should have been as much of an adult in (forgive me, I’m not in Nancy’s fan club) just saying ‘no’, so to speak.
Yes, I think Bobby Brown is a huge loser who is a drug recidivist, errant father to those children of his that did not spring from the body of world-beloved superstar, and disloyal partner but um…he was all of those things before the great Betty-Veronica-Archie, wait- Whitney-Superhead-Bobby triangle.
If Whitney, who by all accounts came from a stable and loving family made these decisions after she grew up, is there even a question as to how a child who has grown up in that kind of chaos will see the world in a way that grants them little in the way of maintaining a life that offers them the dignity, humility, sense of accomplishment, fame-eschewing (if the need or desire be) and all of the other qualities that we value that are learned and re-learned throughout the course of a lifetime?
I don’t know about the involvement of the extended family, so I don’t know about any private deliberations or bargainings that went on on the behalf of this little girl, so it wouldn’t be fair of me to accuse them of not stepping in and trying to diffuse the situation. I guess it’s just time to hope that the family is healing itself and this still very, very girl’s trajectory can be re-routed and fostered into something more promising.
B.K. Brown: The only Montana you need know is the one that has a Helena in it. I haven’t even been to the States (yet) and I’m still telling you to listen to me on that one. Friends don’t let friends go hoochie.
@Hakura
That’s seriously why she didn’t go to rehab? Because Whitney was scared that people would gossip about her?! Geeze…agh.
But seriously….group therapy isn’t a gossip session. That makes me sad.
@Jo ‘Mama’ Besser – Preach it, sister! I agree completely.
It is interesting how so many people still blame Bobby for Whitney’s downfall. Whitney was a grown woman, (raised by what we’ve been lead to believe was a stable family), making her own decisions. Only she can be held responsible for her chosen actions.
As you’ve pointed out, everyone (including Whitney) knew what sort of person Bobby was before becoming involved with him. (I believe his ‘bad boy’ status was a big part of what attracted Whitney in the first place.)
Unfortunately, this girl didn’t hit the lottery with parents. Probably why no one is the least bit surprised by her acting out… She’s surely just imitating behaviors she’s seen her parents use throughout her life.

@GradStudentEatingHotPockets – I *really* hope aspect of the article wasn’t true… but that’s definitely the assertion it was making, as to why Bobbi ended up not attending rehab.
Which would be horrific, but also delusional, if she (Whitney) thinks there’s anything that can be said that will make her look worse than that disgusting reality show already has.
Good grief. The girl looks like her father in drag. No wonder she does drugs. I hope that’s just a really bad couple of pictures of her…… Otherwise, she is even more unfortunate-looking than Rumer Willis.
I could care less about this girl, but I just had to comment that her eye makeup is all wrong. That is all LOL
“the singer panicked when she realized Kriss might divulge sordid details about her mom’s own drug use during group counseling sessions.” Your daughter’s already addicted to a substance and you actually give a rat’s ass about stuff she would say in a confidential environment? I didn’t previously have any informed opinion of Whitney’s parenting skills (although I’m impressed that she returned the car), but now I know she is an enabler. I hope to hell this kid has other older adults who love her and aren’t stupid.
Montana and Krissi in a reality show would be great. You could show them at home with Bobby Brown and it’d be just like the Osbournes. 🙂
Break Laurence Fishburne’s heart, my ass. When teenagers turn to (or get sucked into) sex work, it’s because they’ve been sexually abused. I’m not saying Laurence Fishburne sexually abused his daughter; anybody could have. But anytime this happens, you can pretty safely say that the parents are dropping the ball in a lot of really freaking crucial places.
