Nick Gordon visits Bobbi Kristina Brown's grave amid wrongful death lawsuit
Bobbi Kristina Brown's partner, Nick Gordon, was banned from her funeral and burial service, but last week, he remembered Brown in his own way by paying a visit to her gravesite.
With red and pink roses in hand, as well as a folder full of photos of himself, Brown and Brown's late mother Whitney Houston, Gordon spent about an hour at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, where both Brown and Houston were laid to rest.
The 25-year-old sat quietly, crying and sometimes speaking softly, while touching the plot where Brown rests in peace.
The visit comes after Gordon became the target of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Brown's court-appointed conservator, Bedelia Hargrove.
The original lawsuit filed on June 24 claimed that Gordon assaulted Brown and stole thousands from her. An amendment filed later alleged that after a late-night "cocaine and drinking binge," 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."
The National Enquirer reports that Gordon's camp insists he found Brown already face down in a bathtub at their Roswell, Georgia townhouse. Gordon's lawyers gave a statement to ET, describing the lawsuit filed against their client as "slanderous and meritless."
"Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it's shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly," the statement read. "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."
No criminal charges have been filed against Gordon, who is currently in Florida with his mom, Michelle. The Fulton County D.A. tells ET, "The case remains open and under investigation."
