Bobbi Kristina Brown’s funeral descended into chaotic scenes on Saturday as her aunt Leolah Brown was escorted out of the service by movie mogul Tyler Perry and then launched an astonishing attack on Pat Houston.
Booted out of St. James Methodist Church for interrupting Pat Houston, Leolah Brown began a tirade against her, saying, ‘Whitney Houston will haunt Pat Houston from the grave’.
As the feud between the Brown and Houston families publicly erupted, Brown addressed reporters outside the church while the funeral for her niece was still going on.
‘It’s not over. We’ve got evidence of who Pat really is, this is going to be a long drawn out process,’ said Leolah, who has been fighting with the Houston family over Bobbi’s $20 million inheritence.
‘Things are connected. Pat is a fraud and a phony. She is not a Houston, she’s a Garland.’
Eyewitnesses said the funeral for 22-year-old Bobbi had been going well and was a celebration of her life.
Reverend Michael McQueen, the senior pastor at St James’ hosted the the service which included prayers from the Bible, followed by tributes and then a eulogy.
It was when Pat Houston began speaking that Leolah began heckling and outside the church she paid tribute to her niece.
‘She will be remembered in our hearts forever. It’s so sad that this has happened to her.
‘I’m angry at Nick, I am angry at what happened.’
‘It was all fine until Pat started speaking.’
Earlier, mourners including Grammy award winning singer Monica and actor Michael Jai White gathered at an Alpharetta, Atlanta church today to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.
