Bobbi Kristina, Cissy Houston Make Up At Reality Show Premiere?

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Bobbi Kristina and her grandmother Cissy Houston appear to have put their differences aside – if we are to believe the rumors. It was previously believed that Cissy, the mother to the late, great singer Whitney Houston did not attend her daughter’s Grammy tribute in protest to avoid Bobbi Kristina and her boyfriend Nick Gordon. Whitney never officially adopted Nick, he was considered her “god son” so it’s not surprising that the family feels uneasy about the relationship.

“Cissy really wanted to be there for Whitney,” revealed a source close to the family.

“But she’s just too angry with Bobbi Kristina right now. Cissy and her oldest son Gary couldn’t stomach sitting next to Bobbi Kristina and Nick.”

Last night’s premiere of “The Houstons: On Our Own” however told a different story. Not only was Cissy on the red carpet she also embraced her granddaughter in several photos. On the red carpet Bobbi Kristina insisted they’re doing the show in hopes of making her mother proud,

“To me, it’s total respect for my mother, you know, showing that everyone cares. You know they loved her and they appreciated her, no matter what. Despite the trials and tribulations we’ve been through, we’re making it.”

That remains to be seen. Watch the Houstons on October 24th at 9pm on Lifetime.

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.
