Whitney Houston’s family fears that Bobby Brown is trying to get close to his daughter, Bobbi Kristina in an attempt to get close to the millions she is set to inherit from her mother’s estate.
Bobby Brown is about to make a money grab by leeching onto his daughter, the sole heir to Whitney Houston’s fortune — at least that’s what Whitney’s mom and other family members believe.
Family sources tell TMZ ... Cissy Houston is aggressively trying to block Bobby from getting close to 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina, fearing it’s just a ploy to line his pockets.
The family is convinced … Bobby is broke, and he’s making a play for his daughter’s affection to latch on to what could be an estate worth around $20 million, and that figure could double by the end of this year.
As TMZ first reported … Bobby tried to visit his daughter earlier this week, but the family shut him down.
We’re told friends of the Houston family have already contacted Bobby and warned him he is persona non grata at Whitney’s funeral and in Bobbi Kristina’s life.
There’s a lot of bad blood between Whitney’s family and Bobby Brown, because they believe he was the driving negative force in her life that led her down the substance abuse path. They also believe he’s largely responsible for Bobbi Kristina’s drug and alcohol struggles.
As for Bobby Brown … people in his camp tell TMZ, he’s well aware of the family’s animosity toward him and wants to bury the hatchet for the sake of his daughter.
Whitney’s funeral is set to be aired on the internet this Saturday. Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster, announced Wednesday that The Associated Press will be the only video camera allowed inside at Saturday’s funeral in Newark. The AP will stream the service on http://livestream.com/aplive . The event also will be available to broadcasters via satellite.
