Leave Bobbi Kristina and Nicholas Gordon Alone



As if she hasn’t been through enough, Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown now has to endure articles like this one, in which a “leading family therapist” tells her who to love and how. Only, she didn’t ask Dr. Phil Dembo for his opinion. The headline reads “Bobbi Kristina Brown Dating Her Adopted Brother Has ‘Incestuous Nature’ – Expert.” Gossip websites like hollywoodlife.com can find “experts” to say anything.

HollywoodLife.com exclusively broke the shocking news that Whitney Houston‘s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was lip kissing her “adopted” 22-year-old brother, Nicholas Gordon in Georgia March 9, which led to a revelation that the pair are deeply involved in a romantic relationship and have been for several months.

What is shocking about two people who have been around each other falling in love?

However, family therapist Dr. Phil Dembo tells us this dynamic between the two — who have grown up in the same house for the past 10 years — is not acceptable, even if it is understandable.

What exactly is wrong with it? Notice, we don’t get an answer…

Whitney welcomed Nick into her home when he was a pre-teen and raised him as her own son, even though she never officially adopted him. Bobbi Kristina and Nick became so close, they even referred to each other as “brother” and “sister.”

You mean like some people in the same religious groups? Or close friends?

No real reason if given as to what the problem is with this relationship. There are many people out there in the same boat, having fallen in love with someone who was almost a member of the family before romance blossomed. But anti-consanguinamory prejudice even poisons people against relationships where there is no biological or prior legal relation. Where exactly was the boundary crossed? What if Houston took him in only five years ago? Four years ago? Would it be OK then?

Let the young lovers have each other. Haven’t they been through enough without outsiders trying to deny them comfort, happiness, and love? All that matters is how they treat each other and feel about each other.

    1. Yes, it is rather ridiculous. People are bothered by people loving each other, but don't say much about the substance abuse they likely witnessed.

I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
