The tension that has been building since Bobbi Kristina Brown was hospitalized after being discovered face down in the bathtub in January has exploded into a full-blown fight at the 22-year-old's funeral.
"Bobbi Kristina's funeral was interrupted Saturday morning by an outburst from Leolah Brown, Bobbi's aunt, who was swiftly removed from the church with the help of Tyler Perry," TMZ reported.
"An eyewitness tells TMZ, Pat Houston was getting ready to speak when Leolah began screaming," the report added. "We're told security descended on Leolah and escorted her out. Tyler Perry followed to help diffuse the situation."
Leolah Brown reportedly screamed at Pat Houston, who was appointed guardian of Bobbi Kristina Brown's estate, "Pat you know you are wrong for this!"
Later, Bobbi Kristina Brown's aunt spoke to reporters milling outside the church during the funeral of Whitney Houston's daughter.
She said, "This has only just begun. "We are on to Pat and she will be found out. She is a Garland not a Houston. Whitney will rise from her grave to haunt her."
Nick Gordon, the boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown, wasn't at her funeral. He was slapped with a $40 million civil lawsuit for allegedly stealing from Whitney Houston's daughter and for domestic abuse.
USA Today reported, "Brown's hearse arrived from the Murray Brothers Funeral Home around 9:30 a.m., approximately two hours before a police escort ushered in a procession of vehicles carrying the Houston and Brown families as well as Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed. Singer Monica and actor Michael Jai White were also seen filing into the church."
In her Facebook account, Leolah Brown has been accusing Pat Houston using Bobbi Kristina Brown for her own selfish agenda.
"The Brown family has just learned that Marion Patricia Houston, AKA: Pat Houston, is asking for the public to send money to her foundation (The Marion P Foundation) on behalf of my niece Bobbi Kristina," she wrote.
Bobby Brown's sister continued, "PLEASE DO NOT SEND ONE RED CENT! As she has not even sat down & spoken to my brother Bobby, who is Bobbi Kristina's father, about this. This is part of the proof that her intentions are very ill. This is nothing more than another scheme of Pat Houston, to try to get money put into her account for her personal gain. There is much evil hidden behind this foundation."
