Amidst the rumors circulating regarding the condition of 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown, her family has released a statement to Billboard, condemning conflicting media reports.
“The desire to be ‘first’ has clouded the judgment of many reporters as they forgo accuracy,” the statement reads. “This is a criminal investigation, and the integrity of that process requires silence.”
Calling out TMZ, The National Enquirer, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Daily Mail, the statement says that most of their reports are simply untrue. However, the family does express its gratitude to the continued support from the thousands of people who have been sending their prayers.
“We continue to request privacy in this matter,” Bobby Brown said in the statement. “We thank everyone that supported the vigil for Bobbi Kristina. God is hearing our prayers.”

“We support the candlelight vigil for Bobbi Kristina. The Brown family is amazed by the love and support from all that attended.” Said Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC, legal counsel for Bobby Brown. “However the false reports that continue to appear in print and on the internet are egregious, false and will be dealt with at an appropriate time. In particular, the false reporting of TMZ, The National Enquirer, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Daily Mail (UK) citing, police sources, family sources and Bobby Brown himself, will receive my attention. The desire to be “first” has clouded the judgment of many reporters as they forgo accuracy. This is a criminal investigation and the integrity of that process requires silence.” Brown added.
