KAT & Lynnelle: Is Bobbi Kristina Brown In Danger?

This is a touchy explosive subject which we hope will expose light to a dark one. What do you do when someone you care about is in an allegedly abusive drug filled relationship? The person that you worry about is showing all the signs. The following is a list of clues of symptoms taken from the National Council On Alcoholism and Drug Dependence:

Recently Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina's husband posted pictures on his Twitter page of a arsenal of weapons and threatened Houston family members. He also demanded on Twitter that they send Bobbi Kristina's first inheritance check of several ($1,000,000 from Whitney's estate estimated between $12 -$20 Million). This situation escalated to the point that Pat Houston (Whitney Houston's sister in law) got a restraining order against Nick Gordon. Pat Houston is also the co-executor of  Houston's estate. Bobbi Kristina has posted pictures on social media exposing her shrinking frame, looking unkempt and wearing miss matched shoes. To their defense, Nick and Bobbi Kristina defend their actions loudly on their perspective Twitter pages denouncing all that oppose them in their eyes and saying that they are right and the "haterz" are wrong. Their animosity toward Pat Houston keeps growing while being recklessly displayed on social media. In what world is his behavior normal and healthy? How can the family come together and work through explosive issues? Can Bobbi Kristina get help? Is she being taken advantage off? Are her and Nick Gordon abusing drugs? Is Nick Gordon abusing his influence on his wife who is the off spring of two known drug addicts: Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown? There are so many questions so I asked Lynnelle (who has been in recovery for 16 years her thoughts on the volatile situation. What can we all gleam from this tragedy to make communication and healing better and possible in our own families. Below is the video:

The Aftermath of Whitney Houston's Death: All About The Money with KAT & Lynnelle

If you aren't aware, the night before Whitney Houston's death, I decided to skip the Grammy's parties and start a documentary that I wanted to do for a long time regarding Addiction and helping people avoid the traps of it with my friend Lynnelle (who has been sober from crack addiction for 15 years). During the original video we discussed Whitney Houston among other celebs and the double standard of the rich vs the working person when they have challenges with addiction.

To say the least regardless of what I heard about Whitney Houston in the days before her death I was shocked and sadden with her passing. And a little freaked out. After Whitney's death Lynnelle and I got together and did more videos. By a twist of fate the original video wouldn't load so there was a considerable delay in putting it up on my blog and youtube. Anyway, here it is broken down into smaller bits. Also in another twist of the fate, the family of Ms. Houston is calling for an investigation on her death. They think it is murder? But will their requests be taken seriously because it is easy to discount their theory because Whitney Houston was labeled a drug addict. Regardless of the outcome one thing is certain, It is ALL ABOUT THE $$$$...
