Such a sad situation – as you know, Bobbi Kristina was found face down and unconscious in the bathtub of her Georgia home on Saturday and has since been placed in a medically-induced coma to help with brain swelling. Things aren’t going well, since according to TMZ, Bobbi Kristina is on a ventilator and doctors have said that her brain function is “alarmingly low” – meaning even if she does wake up, it’s not clear if she’ll be able to function to any degree.
Bobbi’s father, Bobby Brown, released a statement yesterday to US Weekly:
“Privacy is requested in this matter. Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time.”
I know I’ve already said it, but this whole thing is so, so sad. Bobbi Kristina never really stood a chance, did she? I mean, she grew up with two parents who were drug addicts (to the point that they allegedly did drugs around her) and allowed her to be involved in the self-destructive world of substance abuse from an early age. When Whitney died, I think it pushed Bobbi over the edge – they were incredibly close and I just don’t think she could cope.
I hope she makes a turnaround, but if this was intentional, I don’t think there’s anything to keep Bobbi from trying again. Really, really unfortunate all around.
