Whitney Houston Leaves Everything to Her Daughter: Fair or Foul?

I thought I read that Houston had only about $150,000 cash-on-hand, no investments other than her homes....which were underwater, and that she owed upwards of $8MM in outstanding debt. So what is there to leave? I feel really sorry for that kid. Loser drug-addled parents as her example. Bobby Brown certainly isn't going to pick up the slack, & anyone in Houston's immediately family was sucking her fortune away like vampires. This will not end pretty.

its definitly fair.
who would pick foul? her daughter was probably what meant most to her. I feel bad for her. RIP Whitney<3

a very good choice wanted to make sure her only child was taken care of and dont have to ask anyone for anything everybody else was probably taken care of while she was alive they didnt ask for it when she was alive or maybe thee was a reason why she did it that away no one contested

Absolutely, her daughter deserves it.

Of course it was fair. It was Whitney Houston's estate and she could leave it to anyone she wanted to leave it to. She may have already been mentally separated from Bobby at the time she wrote the will, or she may have thought he would squander the money. At any rate, it was her decision and she made the one that was right for her.

bobby put whitney through HELL!!!! and EX do mean EX!!!!!!!!! I figure you reap what you sow. inmy eyes Whitney will always be a classy lady....may she rest in peace. boobby didn't know or appreciate what he had. now he lost out.

Very fair or more like just deserts.

It was her money and only her decision, no else needs to comment any further about it. Bobby Brown is a POS crackhead, they don't call him 'humpin around bobby brown' for nothing!

it was her money to do with it as she wished. if she left it all to her daughter so be it. she obviously loved and cared about her daughter very much. bobby brown had his own success and is capable of creating his own money. he doesn't need hers.

Ex means ex. He's entitled to nothing. Her fame and fortune are Hers alone. He's probably the reason she's dead. Screw him. Your children should get your assets. Nuff said

he can get hs own money

i would have done the same if it were me

Yes it's fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Heck yeah!

Who leaves money to an ex-spouse no matter how great the relationship... that child is gonna need it for all the therapy she is gonna have to take...then again she could have included Cissy, her mother, in the mix...she needs a lot of medical assistance from this trauma.....!!!

Well she's prob known her daughter for her daughters whole life, she prob knows what she's like :P

Bobby Brown was her biggest downfall why should she reward him. She did what she wanted. Her daughter can benefit from her hard earned money. Hopefully she will use it wisely & distance herself from Bobby Brown

I agree, Whitney had the right to do what she want to I Hope her daughter wil benefit from her money and not allow some one to come along and cheat her out of it . She is still young.

He helped create that trainwreck and the daughter had to endure both of those trainwrecks. Maybe she can use some of it to get some therapy that she probably needs to get around all that mess. Definitely deserved!

Yes, he may not have made her take the drugs and do the things to get body that she did, but he was a big and bad influence on. When she died, they were divorced, so why should she leave anything to him? He didn't contribute to her life in a positive way, at all. I think her daughter should get it all, of course she should.

I Ment To Put FAIR!!!

The only way it could be more fair...is if she left some to ME!

With you on that one! Lol

Why argue with a persons last wishes......

Hello, he's her EX husband!!!

I hear you on that one. I don't plan on leaving my ex-wife one red cent. Why should Whitney Houston be any different? I'm sure bobby Brown's will doesn't leave Whitney anything either.

None of my damn business what she put in her will. She can do what she wants to.

it isn't our business at all...but it is only right. why leave your ex husband money?

First its her money ,Second I blame Brown for her downfall from the start

I don't blame Bobby for her down fall. Bobby didn't introduce Whitney to drugs. They were simply co-dependent users. Both had drug problems before they met each other. The music industry is loaded with drug use.

It's her money!

The only problem is her dad is going to squeez her 4 support and of course she loves her nasty daddy and, if you saw the show Being Bobby Brown, oh wow that girl got neglected, and humiliated and UGH..so, lucky Whitney's mom...but how long is SHE going to be around for? anyway, afraid Cristina (i DON'T want to call he Bobbi what a stupid name! the way for Bobby to put his ego on her when she was born! otherwise HOW in the world you name a baby "bobbi cristina" please! so, afraid all this girl know..is DRUGS

This does change my view of her. I now think much better of Whitney Houston since reading this. Good job as a mom Whitney.

He made her life hell, why would she leave him anything?

How did he make her life hell? They were co-dependent drug users. Nobody forced Whitney to use drugs. She used long before she married Bobby. If you saw any episodes of Being Bobby Brown, you would have seen that Whitney Houston was kinda off the chain. Bobby was somewhat passive on that show to me. I'd say they were equally responsible for their own actions.

I actually didn't say anything about drugs, did I? He was emotionally abusive to her. She'd admitted that in the past:

She may have made the decision on her own to do drugs, but what did he do to help her? Whitney was weak, and he made her feel bad about herself which only made things worse. That to me is just as bad as physical abuse.
Before I met my husband, I was in a mentally/emotionally abusive relationship. My ex constantly said things about me that hurt my feelings unapologetically, to the point where I started to believe him. He made me feel worthless and I let him because I was weak at the time and thought that his behavior was normal and justified. I do not believe this anymore. But I admit after all these years, after all the progress I have made in my life, his words and actions still stick with me. Some people can never get over that. I don't think Bobby Brown treated her very well when they were together, and I don't think that she truly ever got over it. And when people make you feel worthless, kick you when you're down, that doesn't help someone with an addiction no matter what that addiction may be.

Why not? Bobby Brown has his own money and not to mention they're divorced. Would you give anything to someone you had a messy divorce with?

Oh fa sho, good for her. Her only child yea. Bummy Brown, Nahhhhhhhh

Whitney does not have to leave any thing to Bobby Brown. He's a big boy and he can fence for himself. Good luck Bobbi Kristine, I only hope you don't go the same route that your mother went.

@ virgie, I agree with you, but I think you meant he can "fend" for himself. "Fend for himself " means to provide and and take care of himself.

To fence means either to fight with a sword, or to sell stolen merchandise.

Thinking on it "fencing" might just be the right word, after all
