14 DAY TRIAL // Whitney Houston’s 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, or Krissi, will be heading to rehab soon. A new report claims her family is worried about her drug use and will urge her to seek help as soon as possible.
Bobbi Kristina took her mother’s death very hard, as it was to be expected.
However, she is believed to have also turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with it, having been rushed to the hospital twice in just two days after the singer’s tragic passing last weekend.
Since then, reports online have been saying that Krissi’s condition has gotten the family worried, especially since she’s been battling her own demons for the past 3 years.
Now, TMZ claims to have it on good authority that the Houston family will be pleading Krissi to seek rehab shortly after the singer’s funeral, which took place only hours ago.
First, they want to give her time to grieve, but they will soon be talking to her about the need to get specialized help for her problems.
“According to sources connected with the family, Bobbi has struggled with substance abuse issues for the last three or four years – and the family wants her to seek out professional help at a 60-day live-in treatment facility before her problems get worse,” TMZ writes.
“We're told the family is aware Whitney fell off the wagon in the weeks leading to her death – and they don't want the same fate to befall her daughter,” says the same celebrity website.
“But they're not putting pressure on her to enter rehab right away – they want to give her time to grieve during and immediately after her mother's funeral,” adds the e-zine.
Earlier this week, reports claimed that Bobbi Kristina’s condition was getting worse, that she was “inconsolable” and blamed herself for her mother’s death.
Shortly afterwards, her estranged father Bobby Brown issued a statement to say she was getting “better” and that she was receiving all the support and love of the family, including himself.
He did not say anything about the reason his daughter was rushed to the ER room twice in as many days, or whether it had anything to do with an alleged substance abuse problem.
