Tyler Perry Stands as a Fatherly Mentor For Whitney Houston's Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown

According to Maxine Gordon, grandmother of Bobbi Kristina’s fiance, Nick Gordon,  Bobbi Kristina Brown is getting emotional support from one of her late mother’s famous friends: Tyler Perry. The famed director has been looking out for the 19-year-old since her mother Whitney Houston died tragically in February.

In an exclusive interview with celebuzz, Maxine said

“Tyler is there for her, he promised Whitney he’d watch out for her and take care of her. I think he is a fatherly mentor for her, and he loves her.”

While the 19-year-old recently starred in Perry’s sitcom For Better or Worse, it’s doubtful the director will be on Lifetime’s The Houstons: On Our Own. Maxine, however, was invited to participate in the show — but refused.

“I was asked to be in a reality show, and so was Bobbi’s grandmother Cissy,” she revealed. “We both didn’t want to do it. I wish they wouldn’t do it [either]. It only creates problems.”

Well, we can only pray for her and hope she turns out great.
