Michelle says Nick feels that he’s failed Whitney Houston, who he says asked him to protect her daughter.

Whitney Houston took in Gordon when he was a child after learning that his birth mother could no longer care for him. From that point on, Gordon and Bobbi Kristina Brown treated each other like brother and sister, calling each other “brudda” and “lil sis” on social media into their adulthood. Even so, Gordon and Bobbi Kristina engaged in a romantic relationship and eventually referred to each other as husband and wife.
Nick had said that he was in high school and his mother had kicked him out of the house when he began living with the Houstons.
