The full interview with Bobbi Kristina Brown's father Bobby Brown aired on the premiere episode of "The Real" yesterday, and Brown opened up about what his daughter was really going through before she was found unresponsive in her bathtub back in January.
Between losing his parents, his ex-wife and his daughter all within the past six years, it's been rough on the 46-year-old singer, according to People. He's trying his best to move on, but it's hard when he still believes there's something he could have done to save his 22-year-old daughter.
It has been proven that Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend Nick Gordon had abused her in the past, and a $10 million lawsuit claims that he gave her a "toxic cocktail" which eventually led to her death six months later. While Gordon is denying that he would ever hurt her like that, Brown knows what his daughter went through, and in the full interview, he didn't hold anything back. He even asked that the DA of Atlanta look closer into the investigation.
Brown has decided to open a foundation called The Bobbi Kristina Serenity House to help women dealing with abuse, according to The Wrap. While on "The Real," he explained the reasoning behind this.
"It's for young girls and women of all ages to have a place to come when in bad relationships," he explained. "Abuse is something that I witnessed personally growing up in my life. And it's kind of hard to sit and talk with someone about it. But you need to, you really need to. Because it will stick with you, stay with you, all throughout your life, no matter how old you are or how you think you've gotten through it. I might sit here now and be able to talk to you, but I might walk back there and start crying. Or I could start crying right now. Because abuse does that to you. In a relationship like that with that other person, what that other person has taken from you is your ability to love yourself."
The foundation is "being established as a safe haven, emergency center and advocacy resource center for women affected by Domestic Violence," the site reads.
"It's a place that I'm building - that we're just started to build - that I feel is needed," Brown continued to say. "Because if I could have been there two days before anything happened to my daughter, it wouldn't have went down like that."
