The late Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina will appear in some upcoming episodes of a Tyler Perry show, the New York Daily News reports.
Citing unnamed sources, the paper reports that Houston’s sole heir is to appear in a recurring role in “For Better or Worse.”
The site Straight from the A has details on the collaboration.
Perry has been a stalwart friend since Houston’s death, arranging for her remains to be transported from Los Angeles to her hometown for burial, and speaking at her memorial service.
Bobbi Kristina headed south shortly after her mother’s funeral, where Oprah Winfrey conducted an interview for the OWN channel.
In recent weeks news reports about the teen’s parents have been troubling: her father Bobby Brown was charged with DUI in Los Angeles, and TMZ reported that cocaine was discovered in the hotel room where Houston died. While Houston’s official cause of death was drowning, investigators stated that cocaine use was a contributing factor.
But she clearly has a strong friend in Perry.

Let’s hope that Tyler Perry takes Bobbi under his wing. That would be the greatest thing he could do for his friend Whitney after her demise. It’s too late for Whitney, but Bobbi can be saved if she has some support. Bobbi is very much at risk what with having the addiction gene on both sides of the family, the emotional pain of losing her mother, a self-involved father, and way too much time and money on her hands.

makes not sence how rude everyone can be on here, mr. perry has helped a lot of people in his lifetime. I think it is a way of open a door for her to get help or give her a outlet to deal with that is going on in her life. We all kow she can sang and she was in a high school for the arts so before you make judgement give the girl a chance and i am for anything that will not let her go the wrong way as her mother and father did. I think being under mr. perry will do that because it put her in the light of many good people put a lot of mr.perry people on his show had not acting experience before him. so please stop judging. most of the time i don’t comment becasue most of you are so negative.
