Bobby Brown’s lawyer claims Bobbi Kristina has shown “improvement”.
Fans were sent into a frenzy after Bobby said his daughter Bobbi Kristina “is awake” during a concert on Saturday night. The statement was particularly shocking because the 22-year-old child of Bobby and late singer Whitney Houston has been in a medically induced coma since January 31.
And on Monday the 46-year-old’s attorney, Christopher Brown, of Brown & Rosen LLC, clarified his client’s comments.
“Due to the numerous requests for an elaboration of the comments made by Bobby Brown on Saturday, April 18, 2015 at his concert in Texas, there is a need to clarify the reports on the condition of Bobbi Kristina,” Christopher wrote in a statement to Us Weekly magazine. “Bobbi Kristina’s condition has changed since moving from Emory University Hospital and there has been improvement. Doctors have indicated that she will have a long life. However, Bobbi Kristina is presently embarking on a rehabilitation process and the quality of her life will not be known for years to come."
Bobby’s pregnant wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, also released an official update on her stepdaughter’s health.
“My husband made an attempt to correct the negative comments he must endure on a daily basis from both family and the public regarding his daughter’s medical condition,” Alicia noted in a statement.
"He is encouraged by the steps that Bobbi Kristina has made since her hospitalisation on January 31, 2015. She has made it out of ICU, opened her eyes, and started a rehabilitation that will be long and hard. We will hold on to all the blessings GOD gives us to help her at this time and we look forward to her having a relationship with her unborn sister as our family grows in love and faith. I just wish my husband could deal with this most painful and difficult time with people surrounding him who fully support and pray for Bobbi Kristina’s recovery and only her recovery. Life is the most precious thing that we all have."
