Nick Gordon To pay $36m Punitive Damages To Bobbi Kristina's Family After Losing Wrongful Death Suit

Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon

The judge presiding over the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Bobbi Kristina Brow against Nick Gordon has ruled in favour of the family, handing down a huge judgement against Gordon.
Bobbi Kristina’s long time boyfriend has been accused of abusing her and driving her substance abuse addition which eventually led to her drowning in a bathtub.
After her death, her estate sued Gordon for wrongful death, asking for $40m in damages.
Gordon lost the case by default after failing to appear in court, and the judge awarded $36m in his ruling.
“Bobbi suffered such horrific pain and degradation at the hands of Nick Gordon”. a spokesperson for the family said after the verdict.
“[He was] the man she loved and trusted. No one should suffer the way she did and the judge sent a strong message in the award of punitive damages that this despicable behaviour is inexcusable and will not be tolerated,”
Bobbi died in July last year after slipping from a six month coma, which occurred in February 2015 when she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in Atlanta.
Her death stemmed from very similar circumstances to her mum’s – legendary recording artist Whitney Houston – who was found dead in a bathtub back in 2012.
