Earlier this week, we reported that there was a Bobbi Kristina biopic in the works. And while there was little information about the project at the time, now more details are coming out, proving that it is a go. We weren’t the only ones who seemed to believe that the biopic wasn’t a great idea. Bobbi Krisitna’s father, Bobby Brown, is, according to <a href="http://thejasminebrand.com/2017/02/13/exclusive-bobby-brown-pissed-at-bobbi-kristina-biopic-demetria-mckinney-spotted-filming-photos/"><i>theJasmineBrand,</i></a><i> </i>livid about the situation. But apparently, the rights to the biopic were sold before he knew anything about it.
A source also told <i>theJasmineBrand </i>that TV One, the network set to air the biopic, doesn’t have to clear anything with Bobby Brown.
Apparently, even the casting news was correct. As we reported earlier, Demetria McKinney is set to play Whitney Houston and when she caught wind of the backlash news of the film was receiving, she shared this picture of herself from the set and responded to the critics.

<blockquote>“I have the utmost respect for Whitney Houston and those who have followed me through the years know that. I am NOT an opportunistic person and wouldn’t post, do, say, or be a part of anything that would diminish the light that she is nor the light of her life: BK. That’s part of the problem, we get emotionally charged over things we do not know or have a full understanding of. Even a criminal is innocent until proven guy so it’s only right that If a biopic is made and you choose to watch it, you pass judgement [sic] then…Whitney was very protective of her baby girl. And loved her dearly as we saw on being Bobby Brown. Whitney had people she trusted to show and tell that story and I think that once people understand the heart behind the biopic if one is made, the opinion will shift. People are all on here speaking about things they haven’t seen. They haven’t been privy to the conversations and care taken in the process of something like that done by people who TRULY KNEW and LOVE her and her family... I would love for people to put the soap box down until they see what’s to be. That’s all. Wish u an awesome day!”</blockquote>
The picture and caption have since been deleted.
Good luck with this.
