Whitney and Bobbi Kristina - Tapa dura

Shocking new revelations emerge about superstar Whitney Houston and her only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, in #1New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin’s account of their tumultuous lives.

On January 31, 2015, Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of musical megastars Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found facedown and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta home.
