Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown had her grandmother, Cissy Houston, at her side during the 3.5-hour long funeral for her mother, Whitney Houston, held in Newark, NJ Saturday.
But once the services ended and her mother's casket was carried out of the New Hope Baptist Church to "I Will Always Love You," the 18-year-old alarmed her family and friends when she went missing. Meanwhile, it was being speculated that she was using drugs at that time.

"There was some confusion about Bobbi Kristina's whereabouts last night for a short time, but she's OK," a Houston family spokesperson told The Daily Beast on Sunday, adding that drugs were not part of the equation. "She needed some time alone."
No word if Bobbi Kristina (Whitney's only child with her ex-husband Bobby Brown) attended the repast held for Houston's family and friends after the funeral.

On Feb. 11, Bobbi Kristina, who was at the Beverly Hills hotel when her mother's body was found in a bathroom inside her hotel room, was rushed to the hospital following the tragic news.

At Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, the teen was treated for stress while a psychiatric evaluator was brought in to determine if she needed to be placed on a 5150 (an involuntary psychiatric hold).
"Everything [was] stressful," Billy Watson, an extended family member, explained to Us Weekly. "Her mama died, so she broke down. Nobody expected her to pass as quickly as she did. [Bobbi Kristina] had a nervous breakdown."
Tell Us What You Think
34I personally feel that this young lady has been thru enough turnmoil her whole life,being raised in a household where both parents are high all the time is enough for her to think it all right to get high.Even though she is 19 today, their is still time to save her from continuing down that same path her parents took.Therefore, people stop critizing this torn child and pray to God for her Salvation.
If she really had a nervous breakdown she would be in a psych ward right now. I've seen a person have a nervous breakdown and you don't just keep going about your day. Please choose your words wisely US weekly. I feel bad for the girl and I'm sure she's having a hard time. I hope she leans on reliant people and not people who will just use her. GL to her and my condolences to her and her family.
With such a very busy weekend here in the N.O. We all felt like we went to Whitney's funeral on saturday. My heart goes out to their daughter. I also personally think that they could have made better accomadations for Bobby Brown. Who are we (the media and the public) to judge. In times like this we as mature children of God have to learn to put our differences aside and do what pleasing in God's eye sight. I too loved Whitney eveyone did. In spite of her short comings. Let's face it we all have things In our past that we may not be proud of. She was a child of God. I also have high respect for Bobby for not allowing the media and the security guards to get him out of character. He stayed focused that this day was about "Whitney" and he continued to pay his respects in a very respectful way. I also thought it was very sad that throughout the entire service no one even mentioned his name. Being her ex-husband and the father of Whitney's only child I thought that was VERY disrespectful. Regardless to what really happened let's not loose sight that he was her husband for 14 years and their was a child that was blessed out of that marriage. We all know Whitney love her some Bobby and out of respect for her he should have been respected. We as humans make a huge mistake when we try to play God and judge people. Black folks can we all just get alone?
may the LORD be with Bobbi Kristina.I honor the fact that through all the madness,all the sadness ,and all the joys and pains the LORD gave Whitney and Bobby a beautiful thing (Their Daughter). The LORD don't make mistakes!
What in the world?
I am so appauled by what I am reading. This is a VERY sad moment in this poor girls life. We as God's children should support Bobbi Kristina. She has suffered enough then us to torment her with our own selfish thoughts. I Pray for you girl, I know the loss (only it was my child). Still all in the same, VERY unexpected. I understand you needing time for yourself, take all the time you need..... Some of us will still be there praying for you to find your way through this tragedy. ...... We love you like we did your mom..... God rest - Whitney Houston....... FOREVER in our prayers.....
In The Begining God Created Heaven And Earth, He created the human race, NOT MAN!!!! With that being said, there is only one perfect person and thats my Lord and Savior. We all sin and fall short of his word. Whitney and Bobby made there mistakes, we all do. Lets thank God she acknowledged her down falls and weaknesses. Through it all she still had a strong love for God, and when he opened her eyes to truly see it's time to make a change she did. She fell down but she got up!!!. We forget that stars are human, they go through lifes challanges just like everyone else. Maybe it was your son or daughter, sister, brother, uncle, aunt, Mother, Father who had a drug problem. What did you do? I strongly believe you prayed, and their you were on the the receiving side saying just what I am saying right now. Lets Pray for Bobbi Kristina, because she and her family will need it. She will need her time to grieve, scream, cry, and even get angry, I've been there. When your mom is your rock and all of a sudden there gone, it hits you like a brick and does not go away over night. My prayer is that God keeps her and gives her peace that passes all understanding. Gives her strength to stand and the serenity to accept the things she can not change and the wisdom to know the diffence. I pray she goes forth to be a wonderful singer and be her own woman but shine as her moms legacy. May God Continue To Up Hold And Bless The Family And Whitney You Hold It Down Until We Meet Again Much Love, Vincella
leave her THE HELL ALONE she is grieving the girl lost her MOTHER for christ sake its gonna take a long long time for her to get it together if nshe want some alone time then let her. baby girl im sorry for ur lost heal at ur own pace my heart goes out to ya love ya and keep ya head up.
I wonder if Whitney was giving drugs to her? Party is better if there is another one with you. Sad....
OMG! LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE ALREADY!
I AM REALLY WORRIED FOR HER. ACCESS TO LOTS OF MONEY, CARS , DRUGS LIQUOR AND THE WRONG PEOPLE AROUND. LORD PLEASE HELP. SHE WON'T KNOW WHO HER TRUE FRIENDS ARE, LETS ALL PRAY FOR HER.
I am sad about Bobby not being to pay his last respects the way he felt in his heart. He is a bad boy but he cannot be blamed for all the Whitney Houston allowed herself to be caught up in. Whitney loved the Lord and Lord loves her just as he loves Bobby and all of the rest of us. God saw she was getting weary and sent down his death angel to bring her to him. She is gone from our presence and never from our hearts. Let this poor woman's soul rest in peace. The family needs to heal and if possible pull Ms. Bobbi Kristina in before she gets way out there. She is at the age of consent, and if she wants to see her father, all effort should be made to get her to see him. However, Bobby himself will have to be patient and be still until such time as he can connect with his daughter. I feel that Bobbi Kristina needs some good quality family time away from media, music moguls, and thos who would malign her mother's memory. I feel for her and her grandmother and pray for them both.
I hate to say this and sound do negative here, but I'm willing to bet it's just a matter of time before Bobbi Kristina takes her own life. I'm sorry, but it looks like she's headed in that direction.
Spirit's Blessing upon Bobbi~Kristina! I just want to say that I agree with and appreciate what Fortune McLemore said about "implications of drug use", that's absurd! The dear child needed to go and speak her goodbyes to her mother alone, I'm an only child, I think I get it. Spirit bless you too, Fortune, and all of you on here who lost parents or children. I hope that B~K will learn from what her mother went through, and that Clive or someone like him will take her career under his wing, and that she shines like the bright beautiful star from which she came.
This really is this girls time to show herself what she is made of, I hope she chooses to honor herself and do good with her life and become a an amazing woman who is able to use her experiences to help others in her situation. I pray she doesn't just follow in mom and dads footsteps, I hope she knows she is better then that. She has the opportunity make all her dreanms come true, I am very sad that Whitney died and i know she misses her mom terribly but she can turn this into somehting good, it may sound bad to some but the truth is many doors will open for Bobby Kristina that would not have before, I hope she uses that for good.
My parents both died when I was twelve, my dad first, then my mother four months later. I knew the second time that were would be people trying to see us. The day after my mother died, I went downstairs and the living room was literally full of people. (Some of whom were treating it like a party, sad to say.) So I tried to go upstairs to my room for a minute alone. One of my sisters' well-meaning friends FOLLOWED me upstairs! I couldn't get a minute's peace! Finally, somehow I escaped to our backyard, and got the peace and privacy I needed. Bobbi Kristina needed that. And frankly, I resent the implications that she was doing drugs then. Sometimes you just can't handle people basically crawling all over you at a time like that. They mean well, but, really...give people a minute sometimes. That might be just what they need.
The nerve of some people. Im pretty sure if you were in he shoes you would want to be alone also. Death is the haredst thing to accept . The loss oof her mother is something that she will never be ok with. Neither will Mrs. Cissy Houston. Shame on whoever doesn't undestand that Mrs. Houston and Bobbi Kristina need LOVE and Suppot from Whitneys's family and Fans, needs a reality check!!!
First the world lost a diamond, and who are we to judge. We all are going to make mistakes in life great or small and Bobby Kristina will make hers.and pray really does work if we all stop talking and do just that PRAY, for all troubled souls and stop being phony christians cause our Farther in heaven is NOT pleased! Me personally I can't wait to hear her blow those notes.
Good Lord I hope she makes it through all this turmoil!! She is beautiful and her mother would not want that for her!!!! Prayers for Krissy and her continued strength.....
We are so in a rush to judge each other. We also think that we are better than the other person. The Bible teaches us not to judge or you will be judge. Also promotion neither comes from the East or the West is ONLY God puts up one and take down another. Whatever is in the dark will be reveled in the light. Let Whitney RIP whatever she did or didn't do is between her and her God. Let the records show She loved Bobby Brown and he loved her no one is perfect only Jesus. She had her problems and he'd had his they both brought their baggage into the relationship. No one is perfect. But in-laws has a tendency to blame the other person its a natural think to do I guess, but no one is perfect. Let Whitney RIP and the Huston's family should put their energy towards Bobbie Christina because who would be blamed for her? Bobby Brown just remember the good times you shared with your family. Inspite of it all thank God you were able to stand strong and moved on. No one is perfect but Forgiveness is the final frontier.
