Dionne Warwick is threatening to boycott Bobbi Kristina
Brown’s funeral because of a bitter disagreement over plans
drawn up by Bobbi Kristina’s aunt, Pat Houston.
And while the Brown and Houston families have strived to
maintain a united front following Bobbi Kristina’s death last
Sunday, Daily Mail Online reveals that the families are, in
reality, riven by in-fighting over Pat Houston’s funeral plans,
her attempts to solicit money in Bobbi Kristina’s name and
what will become of Bobbi Kristina’s $20million inheritance.
According to one close source Dionne Warwick, Whitney
Houston's cousin, is the latest family member to be dragged
into the fray.
Warwick, who oversaw Whitney’s funeral, strongly
disapproves of Pat Houston’s management of Krissi’s 'sweet
sixteen themed' funeral which is due to take place in
Alpharetta, Georgia, on Saturday.
Speaking to Daily Mail Online the source said: ‘Dionne is
planning a trip and threatening to not attend the funeral
because Pat Houston is taking over even though she should
be making decisions with Bobby and not doing it on her own.’
The source continued: ‘Dionne resents Pat acting like she is
the head of the Houston family when in reality she married
into the family. Also everyone knows that Bobbi Kristina and
Pat didn’t get along well after her mother died because she
was trying to run her life and tell her what to do with the
money she inherited.
‘Pat wants to have a “sweet sixteen” theme funeral but
Dionne feels that is stupid and disrespectful to Bobbi
Kristina.’
Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she
was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the
Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick
Gordon, 25.
Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting
to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s
untimely death.
Meanwhile the Houston family have slapped the man who
once claimed to be married to Bobbi Kristina with a
$10million law suit alleging that he abused her and stole her
money while she was in a medically induced coma.

tons of event equipment into the family home
