Bobbi Kristina Crashes Car After Breakup With Nick Gordon

Posted byBy Kevin Webb | Published on: CommentsComments (3)

Bobbi Kristina Brown lost control of her car and crashed in Alpharetta, Georgia on Tuesday, her third car accident in the last three months. Passing drivers who witnessed the crash called 911, and paramedics arrived to find an uninjured Brown standing next to her wrecked Chevy Camero in an embankment near her apartment complex.

TMZ reports that Brown lost control of her vehicle while making a left out of the complex, hitting several trees before coming to a complete stop. The 19-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston was issued a citation for failure to maintain lane, but drugs and alcohol were not believed to have played a role in the accident.

The crash comes a day after Brown posted a series of cryptic tweets, hinting at a break up with Nick Gordon, a close Houston family friend who at one point was supposedly engaged to Bobbi Kristina.

“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” she tweeted on Monday. “That’s incredibly fine .. Because you’d be missing out on a #REALperson. Xxo #amryofme #onmyown #goingtomakeit #determined.”

Gordon’s relationship with Bobbi Kristina had been a source of controversy both in the media, and within the Houston clan. The topic of their engagement had been driving topic in the family’s reality show The Houstons: On Our Own. Following the tweets confirming the breakup, producers for the Lifetime series shamelessly sent out a tweet promoting the show, telling fans, “@nickgordon @realbkbrown watch to see how it all unfolds on #TheHoustons on @lifetimetv.”

“I’m leaving, this this good ole town and driving to the send of the world . Maybe it’s beautiful there (: Xxxo” Bobbi Kristina told her followers. But with her car damaged, it seems there won’t be any escape for the new reality star anytime soon.

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.
