Drama, Hot Mess, Reality Television, Whitney Houston

The Houston’s “On Our own” Airs tomorrow at 9:00PM

The ReadyWriter

Whitney Houston was the star and Whitney Houston was the legend, therefore I’m not interested in the private and personal lives of her family. I will always be a Whitney Houston fan but still not interested in her family’s reality television show.

And in spite of Whitney Houston being out of the equation, Lifetime television has apparently inked this deal for a reality show starring Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, her grandmother Cissy Houston, her uncle Gary, his wife Pat and their daughter Rayah.

Although the Houston’s deny this reality show as exploiting the late singer’s death in order to make a profit, their claim is that Whitney was “onboard” with the show prior to her death last February.

“The Houston’s: On Our Own” which airs tomorrow night, will reportedly confirm Bobbi Kristina’s engagement to Nick Gordon; a young man who lived with she and her mother Whitney, supposedly raised as her brother and is now in the picture as the love of Bobbi Kristina’s life.

The anticipated show, which will follow the lives of the Houston family, released a series of clips from the show’s sneak peaks into the trials that come with trying to raise Whitney Houston’s only daughter especially as she tries to walk through life without her mother. In viewing clips for the upcoming show, it is painfully obvious that Bobbi Kristina’s had no discipline growing up with her mother.

I’m sure this show will be packed with plenty of drama!

      1. I agree with Felicia,
        you have a bunch of wolves who been craving fame and using the poor insecurities of Bobbi K to encourage her to seek attention in ways she shouldnt so they can get their slice of the pie. Bobbi K is like Kayne when he lost his mom but in a younger, more destructive form. Poor Cissy co-signing this bullshit cause she just want to hold onto Bobbi K

        She doesnt have to uproot her life to see bout her, but I get it…I guess. Hell I dont. Bobby K is 19 and seems like she still acting like a child. They should have groomed her for this world so she could stand on her own two feet. Po lil thing, gotta be hard to deal with the lost of a mother. It seems like the Grandma should step in at this point and comfort her. I dont like tht lil boy either. Sneaky

  12. I’ll admit that it definitely looks entertaining, but I guess I’m the only one willing to admit that Bobbi Kris looked high in every single scene?

    I don’t see the purpose in this if they’re going to pretend that the elephant isn’t in the room. Not at all.

    I’d rather Krissy go away and never appear on TV again than to watch her looking like she’s headed down the same path as her parents.

    I’m going to have to pray before I make a decision about whether I’m going to tune in.

        I was waiting for someone else to say it. She was high during the Oprah interview as well and none of the news outlets mentioned it. I guess we’re supposed to pretend the issue doesn’t exist until she turns up dead. I know the family wishes they could do the show without putting her and Nick on display, but they are the stars so…

        Bird. You weren’t there during the Oprah interview. I’m sure if she was high. Oprah would not have aired the footage and probably would have pulled Bobby Kris to the side. Maybe she was tired. She seemed fine. Maybe she got done crying before she spoke to Oprah. Which made her eyes appear a little dim. Maybe.

  19. I’ll be watching. I see it as supporting Whitney. Just as I downloaded several singles on itunes after she passed. I was a big fan. I already had many, but I had to make sure I paid for them with at least a portion going to her estate. Anyway,,,Whitney would want us to support her child. You can’t Please everyone. Folks said it was too soon to do a full on tribute at the grammys, folks said it was too soon to do an interview with Oprah, folks complain about Tupacs music still being released 14yrs plus after his death…Theres never a happy medium…If Pacs Mama is getting paid, why not? If this is what Bkris wants…More power to her.

  40. With the understanding that this show is about Whitney Houston’s DAUGHTER and HER last name is BROWN, and her brofriend’s last name is Gordon – am I the only one who finds it odd that it’s called The HOUSTON’s and am even more convinced that this “vehicle” is the brainchild of Pat Houston, who will surely have her husband and doorter front row?

    I suspect Pat, her doorter and husband will end up with more money than Bobby Kris.

  60. Look here! How they gonna let Bobbi Kristina do this show when she is high 24/7? I have not read the post yet. I’ll go back to it, but I was just so amazed last night. They they got the nerve to try to pass it off as alcohol abuse. That girl look higher than Jim Jones. That is not alcohol and I am worried for Krissy. I also can’t believe that they put it out there that Whit used to let her drink and I assume got high with her as well. It also bothered me that Nick appeared sober most of the time. What does a sober person want with a drug addict? Her money that’s what. This is a train wreck in motion.
