Brown and Houston families at WAR as photo of Bobbi Kristina in her casket 'is sold for six figures'... with both sides blaming each other

  • A photo of Bobbi Kristina in her casket was reportedly taken at her viewing on Friday evening 
  • That photo has now been sold for six figures to an unknown media outlet
  • The sale of the photo has caused a war between the Houston and Brown families, with both sides blaming the other for inviting the guest who took it
  • A photo of Whitney Houston in her casket sold to The National Enquirer in 2012 and ran on the cover of the tabloid
  • A picture of Bobbi Kristina in her hospice bed was also reportedly shopped around in July, with the Enquirer running a recreated version on their cover
  • Bobby Brown did not attend his daughter's burial in New Jersey on Monday, though most members of the Houston clan were in attendance 

Just two days after Bobbi Kristina's funeral the Brown and Houston families are at war once again.

The issue this time is a photo of Bobbi Kristina taken as she lay in her casket, which has reportedly been sold for six figures after a heated bidding battle.

Both sides are accusing the other of being responsible for inviting the unknown guest who allegedly snapped the picture.

TMZ reports that the photo was taken during Bobbi Kristina's viewing and that the winning bid topped $100,000.

It is not known which media outlet purchased the picture.

Making matters worse is the fact that intense precautionary measures were taken at both the funeral and wake to make sure this would not happen and that no one would be able to see Bobbi Kristina just before she was laid to rest.

The Browns may have had a bit more reason to be nervous however as the same thing happened three years ago at Whitney Houston's funeral.

That photo ended up on the cover of The National Enquirer and the individual who sold the picture was never revealed by the tabloid.

In early July a photo of Bobbi Kristina in her hospice bed was also being shopped around for $100,000, though it never ran in a media outlet.

The National Enquirer did however recreate the photo using a model with a strong resemblance to Bobbi Kristina.

After learning someone had taken a photo of Bobbi Kristina as she lay dying, Leolah Brown - Bobby Brown's sister - wrote on Facebook; 'Please know that, that picture that was taken of my niece, Bobbi Kristina was taken when NO other Brown was around her. My brothers KNOW this and we have already determined who we are sure it WAS NOT! And believe me-IT WAS NOT A BROWN!'

She went on to say; 'Meanwhile Bobbi Kristina is not comfortable with NOT ONE HOUSTON coming up there to see her! Yes, I said it because it's the DAM TRUTH! FURTHERMORE, BOBBI KRISS DOES NOT WANT PAT GARLAND [Houston] NOWHERE NEAR HER!!!'

Leolah has been very vocal when it comes to her feelings about Pat Houston, and at Bobbi Kristina's funeral on Saturday was escorted from the church after standing up yelling at Pat during her eulogy.

Tyler Perry walked her out of the service after she said; 'Whitney is rolling over in her grave! You are so wrong for this, Pat!' 

Leolah said outside the church that she was upset that Pat had asked mourners to send money to her charity in lieu of sending flowers to Bobbi Kristina's funeral - and that she did so without asking her brother Bobby.

The final service for Bobbi Kristina took place on Monday at Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey before she was finally laid to rest at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfeld beside her mother Whitney Houston.

Bobbi Kristina died in hospice care July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome on January 31.
