Bobbi Kristina Brown Crash Comes Days After Nick Gordon Breakup

Bobbi Kristina Brown crashed her Chevy Camaro just outside her home in Alpharetta, GA on Tuesday. This is the second crash for Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston’s only daughter. Just a few months ago Bobbi Kristina and then boyfriend Nick Gordon were involved in a minor crash. This time around, the Camaro was totaled. According to photos obtained by TMZ, the black vehicle was completely banged on its right side. Reports indicate that Brown lost control of her vehicle veering off the road hitting several small trees.

Police at the crash scene found Bobbi Kristina unarmed even issuing the reality star a ticket for failure to maintain lane.

News of the crash comes less than two weeks after Brown’s unofficially adopted brother Nick Gordon confirmed their engagement and relationship was over.

“@REALbkBrown and I are not engaged or dating. Just close like we have always been,” Gordon tweeted.

On Monday, Brown added another tweet that appeared to be geared at Gordon’s missed opportunity, ”I’m leaving , this this good ole town and driving to the send of the world . Maybe it’s beautiful there (: Xxxo … Who do I trust in this world? Pfft well that’s easy beezie, #Myself, No1 will kno’s me like ME&They’d rather not take thtchance2knoME, &2me.”

“That’s incredibly fine .. Because you’d be missing out on a #REALperson Xxo #armyofme #onmywon #goingtomakeit#determined,” she added. “I guess it’s time 4me2stop depending on anymore. It’s my time2follow what Mom&The Lord put out on this path for me. #Thankful. Mom xxo.”

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.
