Bobbi Kristina Brown is the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.
As such, her life has been closely scrutinized to ensure that the 21-year-old doesn’t follow in the footsteps of her late mother and troubled father.
It’s for that reason that a photo and bizarre rant that Bobbi posted to Instagram today are especially troubling.
That’s Bobbi smoking what’s probably marijuana from a water pipe. Given that Whitney Houston’s death in 2012 was the direct result of her longtime drug abuse, fans and friends were especially shocked to see Bobbi publicly sharing a photo of herself getting high.
Bobbi posted a caption assuring her followers that the photo was not taken recently and that she’d posted it to celebrate her sobriety. Unfortunately, the rant that accompanies the photo isn’t particularly reassuring:
“This picture may be inappropriate, but I want to make a connection with you all,” wrote Bobbi. “Don’t worry, this photo isn’t recent, just hear me out.”
“Do you know what I feel?” she continued. “I feel strange I can’t feel any pain at all. Things just happened. But then there is some situation that force me to do things and the impact I’ll feel pain. I did and I do. I was hurt…I have lost my sense. It just happened. God help me ignore and rebuke what these demons are saying.
Bobbi – who married Nick Gordon earlier this year against her family’s protests – stated that she stopped using drugs “as of recently.”
Bobbi was reunited with Bobby Brown this past Father’s Day, but sources close to the family say the former R&B singer is a negative influence on his daughter.
