Bobby Brown Loses Bid to Block ‘Bobbi Kristina’ Biopic From Airing
Bobby
Brown has failed to block a biopic about his deceased daughter from
airing, after a judge shot down his motion for an injunction against the
film.
According to TheWrap, the
movie, “Bobbi Kristina,” will air on TV One on October 8 at 7 p.m. ET,
following a judge’s decision on Thursday to reject Brown’s motion.
“We
are pleased with the court’s ruling and look forward to sharing this
poignant look at the life of Bobbi Kristina Brown with our audience,” TV
One said in a statement.
However,
while Brown failed to block the film’s premiere, his $1 million-plus
defamation lawsuit over the biopic remains in play.
In
the lawsuit, filed in September, Brown alleges that TV One knowingly
and maliciously” used his persona and life, and that the movie “contains
defamatory and untrue depictions” of him.
“The Defendants’ movie and the script writing are libelous and slanderous toward” Brown, the suit reads.
The
suit also alleges that the film uses information that its producers
obtained while working on the Bravo reality series “Being Bobby Brown,”
in violation of a confidentiality agreement.
Among
the alleged defamatory depictions: “[T]he Defendants’ movie contains
defamatory untrue depictions of [Bobby] having dinner with [Bobbi
Kristina] and scenes suggesting that [Brown] does not love his daughter
or is committed to his daughter.”
Bobbi
Kristina Brown, the daughter on Brown and deceased singer Whitney
Houston, was found unconscious in the bathtub of her Georgia home on
Jan. 31, 2014, and died on July 26, 2015 at age 22 after clinging to
life for six months.
