BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN could have been saved if family and friends had heeded her cries for help to escape the hell of her abusive boyfriend.
That’s the bombshell to emerge in a blockbuster National ENQUIRER investigation that has uncovered sensational text messages from Whitney Houston’s daughter in the final hours before she ended up face down in a bathtub on Jan. 31 – and cut her life tragically short.
In a disturbing conversation with a friend, the 22-year-old aspiring singer confided her fears about violent lover Nick Gordon, who has been slugged with a multi-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit.
He also faces the prospect of murder charges over Bobbi Kristina’s demise.
The messages, unearthed in a exhaustive ENQUIRER news probe, could become vital evidence in any criminal case.
They were provided to The ENQUIRER by a secret police witness whose name we are withholding.
Using the nickname “Krissi Lovebug – with an image of puckered lips, Bobbi Kristina reached out to the close friend and was clearly fed up with hot tempered Gordon, 25.
The pal texted to Bobbi Kristina: “Hey baby I miss you so much. Sorry I’ve been working so much lately. I saw you called me last night.”
Bobbi Kristina replied: “Hey babe boo boo. Yeah I’m sad …It’s about Nick … 🙁 ”
The friend responded: “God … What’s wrong now baby? He doesn’t deserve you boo.”
Sounding increasingly frustrated, Bobbi Kristina replied: “Yeah I just seriously don’t know what to do about him.
“You know how he is. I care about him but I’m so sick of the fighting and him telling me what I can and can’t do. Plus what I found out … I’m devastated … I need my BFF baby love.”
Family members and friends have described Gordon as a jealous lover, and claimed that he frequently beat Bobbi Kristina senseless.
“Krissi was referring to Nick’s violent outbursts that turned physical and abusive, all of which were aimed at her,” a source told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview.
“She was also upset that he’d text and flirt with other women, and suspected that Nick was cheating on her.”
Determined to escape Gordon, a fearful Bobbi Kristina planned to seek “safe haven” at a friend’s home, said the source.
“She was very depressed and taking a lot of Xanax [a prescription mood elevator and relaxant] and wanted desperately to get away from him because she believed he had snapped,” the source added.
“But Nick had this control over her, and pulled the strings in their relationship.”
Police will analyze Bobbi Kristina’s electronic messages for both signs of domestic violence – and a motive for homicide, according to world-renowned private investigator Bo Dietl.
“She could have been on the phone texting somebody and saying, ‘Oh my God, he is punching me, beating me,’” said Dietl, who is not involved in the case but has been following it closely.
“If you’ve got her going into a coma, you easily have enough to indict someone with criminal charges.”
