Bobbi Kristina Brown's boyfriend accused of 'stealing her money' while she was in a coma
The boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown has been accused of causing her life-threatening injuries and stealing her money while she was in a coma.
A civil lawsuit, costing over £6 million, states that Nicholas Gordon allegedly caused Brown's "life-threatening bodily harm and damages".
It claims that on the morning of the accident, Bobbi was embroiled in a loud argument with Gordon and when it ended, she was "found unconscious, face down in a bathtub, with her mouth swollen and another tooth knocked out".
The daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown has been on life support in a rehabilitation facility since she was discovered at her home in Georgia on January 31.
Gordon was partly raised by Whitney Houston in her home as an informally adopted son.
He began to date the singer's daughter and after her death in 2012 the pair referred to each other as husband and wife.
The suit alleges that when Bobbi was in a coma, Gordon accessed her bank account and stole over £7,000.
Bobbi's aunt, Pat Houston, has now confirmed that the youngster's condition has "continued to deteriorate" and she was moved into hospice care on Wednesday.
The statement says thankyou to "everyone for their support and prayers," with Pat adding that Bobbi Kristina "is in God's hands now".
The family have been keeping details of the 22-year-old's condition fairly vague, but her grandmother Cissy confirmed in May that she was "not progressing at all" in rehab.
Cissy told Entertainment Tonight: "I'm just waiting for whatever happens.
"We go to the hospital every day and pray and I talk to her because she can still hear and I rub her hand. We do what we can do. The rest is...all up to Him."
The news comes after a close family source reportedly blasted claims made earlier this month by Bobbi's aunt Leolah Brown indicating that the reality star's condition was "continuing to improve".
"Bobbi Kristina remains completely unresponsive," a Houston family insider told People magazine. "She cannot communicate. The heartbreak and the pain we feel in seeing her that way is beyond words.
They added: "No one is trying to pull the plug. No one is saying goodbye."
Despite sources saying that Bobbi was also going to be "heading home to die", her father Bobby's legal team have since blasted these claims.
The 46-year-old singer told E! News via his lawyer: "Unless you hear it directly from me or through my attorney, do not believe any words attributed to me.
"I am making decisions with Pat Houston and we are working together for the medical care of my daughter.
"I do not have time for the frequent side shows that others choose to engage in almost on a daily basis," he added.
In February, Brown's family banned Gordon from visiting her in hospital.
