Bobby Brown is set to marry his longtime girlfriend Alicia Etheride but his daughter Bobbi Kristina will likely be missing. The relationship between Bobbi and her father worsened after the unexpected passing of her mother Whitney Houston but it’s believed work is to blame in this case.
Why the speculation? According to reports Bobby Brown announced the wedding news to the audience at New Edition’s Father’s Day show at Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. In attendance were Bobby’s older children LaPrincia Brown and Bobby Brown Jr….no Bobbi Kristina.
Reportedly the burgeoning 19-year old singer/actress is working on TV series with the Lifetime network.
Congrats to Bobby nonetheless.
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
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.
