Bobbi Kristina Brown and Cissy Houston Settle About Inheritance

Bobbi Kristina Brown and her grandmother Cissy Houston have reached an agreement about the execution of Whitney Houston’s estate.

According to Whitney’s will, her daughter would get her inheritance in three installments: 10 percent when she turns 21 ($2 million), just under 20 percent at age 25 ($4 million) and the remainder when she turns 30 ($16 million). Cissy and her daughter-in-law Patricia Houston filed legal papers to alter how Brown would receive her inheritance because they felt like she was getting “too much, too soon.” According to TMZ, the case was dismissed because Brown and her grandmother reached an agreement. Sources told TMZ the agreement was barely changed but all parties are satisfied.

Despite legal troubles and grieving her mother’s death, Brown was in good spirits at the premiere party for her family’s reality show “The Houstons: On Our Own.” She told Access Hollywood that she’s feeling better than ever. “I’m doing okay, I’m doing pretty good. I am doing better than I ever thought I would,” she said to Access last Monday. “Definitely better than I thought I would.”

Brown also said she finds comfort in knowing her mother is watching over her. “What gives me the strength is my family and knowing that she is watching down on us,” she continued. “Watching down and applauding and being happy and smiling and rejoicing, as well as we are, of her life and her legacy.”

As for her alleged engagement to her “adopted brother” Nick Gordon, she’s playing coy. “That’s a surprise, so yeah,” said the “For Better or Worse” star. “Watch and see.”

The show premiered on Monday and although Brown claims she was engaged on the first episode, her aunt Pat Houston is denying it was real. “It’s a journey,” she said to E! News. “You have to realize, she had just lost her mother and she’s 19 years old. So I didn’t take the engagement very serious, not at all, because I understood the dynamics of what’s happening as it relates to that relationship. He looks out for her, he really and truly does.”

Despite her reservations about the relationship, Pat says she’s proud of her niece. “I am very proud of her. I always explain to her, I’m not concerned about a music career for her, or an acting career for her,” she added. “I’m more concerned about life management for her, her being able to navigate through life to take care of herself in a very positive way. Becoming a strong, independent woman, being able to live her life without a lot of handlers or people telling her what to do in it, giving her values and morals and strengthening her.”

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
