Bobbi Kristina Death News Update: Nick Gordon's Attorneys Proclaim His Innocence in Whitney Houston's Daughter Death
Attorneys for Nick Gordon are set to file a motion aimed at having the $10 million wrongful death suit filed against him in the death of ex-girlfriend Bobbi Kristina Brown tossed out.
Radar Online reports not only does the 25-year-old Gordon continue to proclaim his innocence, but he also has now grown weary of having to defend his name.
The only child born to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown died in hospice care in late July, some six months after being rushed to a hospital emergency room after being found face down in the bathtub of the Georgia area home she shared with Gordon. She has since been buried alongside her mom at a New Jersey cemetery.
Filed by the conservator of her estate Bedelia C. Hargrove, the suit charges not long before she required emergency medical treatment, Gordon gave his girlfriend a "toxic cocktail" that essentially rendered her defenseless. He allegedly then "put her face down in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage."
Gordon's attorney Jose Baez has blasted the accusations as "slanderous" and "meritless." The actions filed on his behalf this week by civil lawyers W. Bryant Green III and Jonathan M. Broderick in Fulton County named Hargrove as a defendant and cite eight reasons why the case she's filed should be dropped.
According to Radar, the reasons cited range from Gordon not be a resident of the state of Georgia to the fact that he "did not commit any tortious act" or omission within the state of Georgia.
Gordon further alleges that someone else discovered Bobbi Kristina immersed under water in the bathtub, apparently unconscious and unresponsive. At that point, he insists "he tried to wake up" his girlfriend and get her to respond to CPR he and others performed.
Gordon also vehemently denies accusations lodged in the suit, which allege he regularly and routinely physically assaulted Bobbi Kristina.
