Lawsuit: Nick Gordon Gave Bobbi Kristina Toxic Cocktail, Put Her in Tub
The estate of Bobbi Kristina Brown amended a $10 million lawsuit against boyfriend Nick Gordon on Friday, accusing him of being responsible for the injuries that later led to her death, CNN reports.
The wrongful death amendment claims Gordon came home from an all-night “cocaine and drinking binge” on January 31 and argued with Brown before giving her a “toxic cocktail” and placing her face down in a tub of water. From WXIA-TV:
Gordon allegedly accused Brown of cheating and called her a number of names, the lawsuit alleges. The argument lasted about 30 minutes and then “everything abruptly became quiet.”
The lawsuit then says that Gordon “gave Bobbi Kristina a toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious and then put her face down in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage.”
According to the suit, Gordon then came out of the bedroom wearing different clothes than he was wearing in his argument with Bobbi Kristina, got into bed, laid his head on a female guest’s ankle and said, “Now I want a pretty little white girl like you.”
About 15 minutes later, a guest at the home went in to check on Brown and found her face down in a tub. A dust pan was at the bottom of the tub, the lawsuit states. Bobbi Kristina [was] unresponsive, unconscious with a swollen mouth and a tooth hanging loosely from her mouth.
No criminal charges have been filed against Gordon, who has denied any wrongdoing in Brown’s death.
“The recent lawsuit against Nick is slanderous and meritless,” said Gordon’s attorneys in a statement Friday night. “Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it’s shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly. Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most.”
