Report: Whitney Houston Orders Teenage Daughter to Rehab for Cocaine

By AOL Music Editors Posted Mar 16th 2011 01:22PM

Whitney Houston's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown may be in trouble again.

It's no secret that Houston has had her own battles with drug addiction after much personal-turned-public turmoil and a stint in rehab in the early 2000s. But following photos that recently surfaced of Bobbi Kristina snorting cocaine, Houston is stepping up and stepping in.

According to the National Enquirer, in an attempt to save her adolescent daughter from repeating her own mistakes, the 47-year-old mama has reportedly canceled Bobbi Kristina's 18th birthday celebration at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, is taking back the Lexus she gifted her daughter and is sending her straight to rehab.

Bobbi Kristina attempted to debunk the cocaine photos on Twitter recently, and now she's back to shoot down rehab rumors, tweeting, "Excuse me, but I'd like to say that I am NOT going to rehab? I'm perfectly healthy and I am not addicted to anything but life."

Houston credits her own mother, Cissy Houston, with saving her from her addiction to crack cocaine. Houston told Oprah in 2009 that her mother forced her to rehab after getting a court injunction that allowed her to stage an intervention with armed police at Houston's door in 2004.

Bobbi Kristina's father -- R&B bad boy and Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown -- has a drug history of his own, and his daughter seems to be following in both her parents' hard-partying footsteps. This isn't the first news of the famous offspring's teen troubles. Rumors have also recently surfaced of a Bobbi Kristina sex tape.

Is Bobbi Kristina really in a tough spot, or does the National Enquirer just have it out for Houston's daughter? In 2008, the Enquirer reported that a then-15 Bobbi Kristina "tried to stab her mom during an argument -- and then attempted to kill herself by slashing her wrists."

Again in late 2010, the Enquirer called Bobbi Kristina "out of control" and "wild child," saying she was "going party-crazy."

On the flip side, NecoleBitchie.com writes that four years ago, "Whitney prohibited her then 14-year-old daughter from MySpace after photos of her supposedly drinking alcohol and smoking weed surfaced on the Internet." The site then displays photos of Bobbi Kristina blowing smoke and holding a red beer-pong style Solo cup.

And no 18 y/o should have a car like a Lexus being given to them unless it is eight years old or more. That is not how you teach a young adult about being responsible and setting goals.

What a waste of talent the way Whitney threw away so many years of her life....

By mommymoon

Like thats a BIG surprise.
Whitney needs to take her ugly self and while she is at it
she can take her ignorant aunt Dionne Warwick.
Once a family of winners...... NOW trash.

Whitney and Bobby are probably pissed because the girl could be getting into their secret stash. They should be puking at the poor example that they have been. But I think it is all about getting the daughter on some reality television show like celebrity rehab or Dancing with the Stars.

Great i hope they make it a mother/daughter retreat- b/c whitney still has issues! i dont believe shes conquered her habit as yet - she looks bloated and sloppy and its killing her voice!

Say what you will about Bobby- but he was never as bad as whitney- he was a habitual user-she was an addict!

Thanks to Bobby Brown for getting Whitney into the directionless and doomed world of narcotics. And some people want to legalize this "chasing the dragon" lifestyle? Dear God I pray for all the addicts out there. My nephew died from over dosing on heroin. It is not a glamourous life in the least. Get help as soon as possible if you have an addiction - the longer you wait the worse it gets. Get to someone who is not addicted who will help you get to a clinic.
