Bobbi Kristina Brown: Lawsuit alleges boyfriend Nick Gordon gave her 'toxic cocktail'

THE boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown is facing a lawsuit against him following the death of the TV personality and singer last month.

 

The trustees of the 22-year-old's estate have added the allegation of wrongful death to an existing complaint against Nick Gordon claiming that he was responsible for the injuries that led to her death.

In an updated document filed yesterday, Nick is said to have beaten Bobbi Kristina before giving her a "toxic cocktail" that caused her to pass out.

The $10 million lawsuit alleges that Nick then placed her face-down in a bathtub of cold water which led to her suffering brain damage.

The suit went on to claim that Nick was "routinely transferring a large portion" of the star's money from her bank account without her permission.    

 

Nick's legal team have refuted the lawsuit which they described as "slanderous and meritless.

"In a statement Joe Habachy and Jose Baez said: "Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it's shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly. 

"Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most."

 

The daughter of Whitney Houston and R'n'B singer Bobby Brown was found unconscious and face down in a bathtub in January at her home in Atlanta that she shared with Nick.

She was rushed to hospital and put in a medically induced coma but died at a hospice in July.

Bobbi Kristina's death mirrored that of her mother, who passed away in 2012 after being discovered unconscious in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel.    

The funeral service for Bobbi Kristina was held on August 1 and she was buried two days later at a cemetery in New Jersey next to her mother.
