Just when we all thought Bobbi Kristina Brown was not going to make it after she was discovered face down and unconscious in her bathtub, we learned this week that she was doing a lot better than we all thought. This is amazing news, but we all couldn't help but wonder: why do these grim stories continue to be leaked from her hospital room? Bobbi's relatives may have cleared up the mystery—as they released a statement slamming one family member who they say is spreading lies and should be "disregarded."
Bobbi's family has decided that it's time to stop all of the madness. So, they released the following statement in the hopes that they would clear up some confusion the public has had over Bobbi's true condition:
At this time it is requested that the media cease speaking with unauthorized members of the family. The integrity of the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina must remain uncompromised. Various members of the family have provided media interviews, however, none of them are approved visitors to see Bobbi Kristina. None of them have firsthand knowledge of Bobbi Kristina’s treatment and the medical staff at Emory University Hospital has not communicated with them.
Okay. That's fair. Now, here's where things get a little ugly: In particular, Jerod Brown aka Jerod Carter aka YF Kennedy, continues to makes statements and appear on television, however, he has not had any communication with Bobby Brown or the Houston family. He must be disregarded. Please do not attend any 'meet and greet' organized by Jerod Brown as he is unable to provide access to Bobbi Kristina or information on her condition. This is a criminal investigation and we do not need this side show. Bobbi's relatives, including her dad Bobby Brown, have been pretty good about keeping the focus on Whitney Houston's 21-year-old daughter as she remains hospitalized and (we hear) on a ventilator. In the meantime, the stories that have leaked have been nothing short of crazy and, if her family is to believed, certain members may be using this tragedy as an opportunity to gain publicity.One day, her relatives are fighting in a hotel room. The next, we learn her boyfriend Nick Gordon isn't allowed to step foot in her hotel room—and that police are looking at him as a possible suspect after discovering she has mysterious injuries that indicate foul play. She was reportedly in a car accident just four days before she was found unconscious. She wasn't actually married to Gordon, even though they both claimed they were.
As for her condition: we were told the outlook was so grim that her relatives had to decide whether to take her off of life support. They were reportedly thinking of doing it on the same day Whitney died. Her dad was holding out because he was praying for a miracle. Then we learned Bobbi opened her eyes and is actually doing better than anyone thinks.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop there.

In addition to the family's joint statement, Bobby reiterated that they are requesting privacy as they continue to support Bobbi. For now, all we can do is wait to hear a more official statement from one of Bobbi's doctors or a family member like Bobby. We continue to keep her in our thoughts.
