Bobbi Kristina Brown: Whitney Houston's Mother, Cissy Houston Bails Out On Tribute Due To Engagement With Nick Gordon

Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, 79, refused to attend the Grammy's final salute to the legendary singer. The tribute,  which was held on  October 11 in L.A.'s Nokia Theatre was a star studded event with guest such as: Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and Halle Berry to name a few.

Reportedly, the singing legend's mother did not want to attend because she was enraged over her granddaughter's engagement to her adoptive brother, Nick Gordon. According to Radaronline, one source said, "Cissy really wanted to be there for Whitney," the source added, "But she's just too angry with Bobbi Kristina right now. Cissy and her oldest son Gary couldn't stomach sitting next to Bobbi Kristina and Nick."

Recently, Brown confessed to the world that she is engaged to her adoptive brother, Nick Gordon. Speculation of the engagement has been floating around for months, but the teenager kept a tight lip.  In the sneak peek footage of the upcoming season of their reality show, the Houston family disapproves of Gordon. Houston's brother, Gary Houston sat down with Gordon and told him, "No one knows from Godson you would turn to a boyfriend. No one knows that."

 The Houston family may be more concern of Gordon because of his bad boy image. Last month, the 23-year-old tweeted a picture of himself driving and posing with a gun. Later Gordon apologized, "I should have known better." Some may believe that Gordon may be a threat to Brown's inheritance and that she may lose everything due to the pressure from outsiders. Sources say, "[She] is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance."
