It is a sad week for the family and friends of Bobbi Kristina Brown, as it has been confirmed that the 22-year-old has basically been sent to hospice care to die in peace. Pat Houston, one of Brown's co-guardians issued a statement yesterday saying that her niece was now in "God's hands," confirming that the family was finally going to let her go after five months on life support. Shortly after that statement was given we also learned that Brown's estate is filing a $40 million lawsuit against her former boyfriend, Nick Gordon.

According to an explosive report by TMZ, "Bobbi Kristina's estate filed a $40 million lawsuit against Gordon on Wednesday ... accusing Gordon of regularly transferring funds from her account to his account, including $11,000 AFTER she'd fallen into the coma. The docs also say Gordon was beating Bobbi Kristina, and on one occasion dragged "her upstairs by her hair." He also allegedly punched her in the face and knocked out a front tooth. Bobbi Kristina intended to reveal the abuse she was suffering to a close friend. According to the docs, she had set up a time to meet that friend on Jan. 31 ... but she never made it. Instead, Bobbi Kristina was found face down in her bathtub that morning with a swollen mouth and another tooth knocked out," explains an insider.

This devastating court filing comes after months of Gordon being under investigation for attempted murder. To this day, it seems that no one is exactly sure what happened to Brown before she ended up in that bathtub, but many seem to believe that Gordon was directly responsible and it is that belief that caused her family to prevent him from visiting her even once in the hospital.

In the months since Brown's medical crisis Gordon has completed rehab and was last seen in Florida starting a new life close to his mother. Do you think that any kind of criminal charges will be filed against him, especially once Brown finally passes? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
