Bobbi Kristina Walks Off The Set Of Tyler Perry's Sitcom

Bobbi Kristina Brown – After the tragic death of her mother, Bobbi Kristina vowed she would continue her mother’s legacy and build her career in singing and acting. Tyler Perry took the first step and offered Whitney Houston’s daughter a recurring role in his comedy “For Better Or Worse” but it turned out the young star wasn’t ready.

Bobbi Kristina reportedly broke down in tears on the set of Tyler Perry’s show. The 19-year-old actress understandably still hasn’t been able to cope with her mother’s recent death and walked off set before finally quitting the show.

“Who am I fooling? I can’t do this,” Bobbi said before quitting the show.

Bobbi filmed just a few episodes for the TBS comedy set to air its second season in July. Her sudden exit left Tyler Perry and other executives scrambling to come up with rewrites in order to explain the character’s sudden disappearance. Tyler Perry told Radar Online that although he wasn’t happy about reconstructing the entire script, he is still very supportive of Bobbi Kristina and understands that she is dealing with a lot right now.

Other cast members of the show recall Bobbi walking off set a lot, but she left so quietly that nobody would even notice until she was needed again. “She thought she was ready for this, but she wasn’t,” another source added. After a private conversation with Perry, Bobbi finally made the decision to call it quits.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
