14 DAY TRIAL // Tonight, CBS will air an episode of Dr. Phil that will double as an intervention on Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina Brown (aka Krissi)’s boyfriend. Krissi has been in a coma since January 31, when she was found unresponsive in the bathtub of their shared Georgia home.
Gordon is now being investigated by the police, being the main suspect in an ongoing criminal investigation. He’s refusing to cooperate with authorities, but he did agree to sit down with Dr. Phil for a chat to defend himself, which had actually been arranged by the television personality and Nick’s own mother as an intervention.
Nick showed up drunk and high, video proves
As we speak, Gordon is in rehab for 3 months, eventually acknowledging that he had a problem and listening to reason from his mother and Dr. Phil. However, that’s not before he caused a scene on set, storming off and attacking 2 staffers, as previously reported.
Another earlier report claimed that Gordon showed up to what he believed would be a regular interview so drunk and high that he could barely walk without assistance, so he had to be wheeled in on a luggage cart.
A video obtained by the Daily Mail (and available online) confirms this, showing an apparently very intoxicated Gordon falling down in a hotel room and struggling to get back up. He is eventually lifted and carried away by two male, bodyguard types.
The second video embedded below, which is a new preview for tonight’s episode, further confirms that he was out of it for most of the chat. Apparently, he’s been drowning his sorrows for what happened to Krissi in booze and prescription drugs.
Something is rotten in the State of Denmark
Word online has it that Nick Gordon, who was taken in by Krissi’s mother, Whitney Houston, when he was just a kid and was brought up as her son, is a very jealous and violent man. Reports also claim that he’s frustrated he was left nothing in the will when Whitney passed, so he became romantically involved with Krissi, feeding her drug addiction so he could stay in total control of her life - and money.
Paramedics revived Krissi at the home after her near-drowning, but because she’d been deprived of oxygen for anywhere between 3 to more than 5 minutes, she was put in a medically induced coma.
What made Gordon a suspect was the fact that she had injuries on her body that couldn’t be explained by the way she was found and probably not even by the fact that she’d been involved in a car accident a few days before.
Gordon was asked to talk to the cops but he refused, leaving his attorney to come up with ways to avoid it.
Krissi’s relatives on her mother’s side believe that he either tried to kill her or accidentally harmed her and then tried to cover it up by staging the tub drowning. Those on her father’s side are reportedly shooting a reality show around the tragedy, so if they believe Gordon to be guilty or not doesn’t really matter.
Despite pleas from the family not to air the Gordon episode, Dr. Phil will probably stick to the schedule.
