Bobbi Kristina death: Nick Gordon asks court to dismiss lawsuit
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Attorneys for Nick Gordon are asking a Fulton County court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the conservator of the late Bobbi Kristina Brown.
The suit was originally filed on June 24 in Fulton County Superior Court by Brown's court-appointed conservator Bedelia Hargrove and then amended after Brown’s death. It alleged that Gordon gave Brown a "toxic cocktail" and then put her face down in a tub of cold water. It asked for $10 million in damages, and accused Gordon of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and transferring money from her account into his own without authorization.
In documents filed in Fulton County Superior Court on Tuesday, Gordon’s attorneys asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit because Gordon is not a resident of Georgia. It states that Gordon is a resident of Florida.
The motion said that there is no proof of the “several false criminal and frivolous claims” against Gordon.
It also states that Gordon and Brown were not married, and there are no proceedings for separation that “may ordinarily occur in this state.”
The motion responds to each allegation named in the original suit, with Gordon denying most of the details of the events leading to Brown being found unresponsive in a tub.
The motion asks for the lawsuit to be dismissed, as well as “reasonable attorney’s fees.”
Brown, the 22-year-old daughter of the late singer Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died on July 26— months after being found unresponsive in the tub of her Roswell home on Jan. 31. Brown never regained consciousness and was moved to hospice care in June.
