Before Bobbi Kristina Brown took the stage Sunday night to honor her mother, music icon Whitney Houston, during the Billboard Music Awards, stories surfaced online about a rift between Houston's only child and her sister-in-law Pat Houston. Both wanted to be on the stage to accept an honor on the singer's behalf. All reports seemed to hint that the show had only asked Bobbi, but the sister-in-law was inserting herself into the tribute.

It seemed to be a strange thing to fight over.

But then I remembered that Pat Houston has a reality show coming out about the lives of the Houston family since Whitney's passing. And suddenly, it all makes sense.

From MTV:

Titled "The Houston Family Chronicles," the show will feature Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, and mother Cissy Houston, though the focus will be on The Bodyguard superstar's brother Gary Houston and sister-in-law and manager Pat Houston, as well as their daughter, Rayah.

Houston's cousin Dionne Warwick and Bobbie Kristina's godmother, gospel legend CeCe Winans, will also appear in the series.

According to Lifetime, the reality show will focus on Pat and Gary "as they take on their greatest challenge, supporting and guiding Bobbi Kristina as she faces the world alone, without the one person she relied on the most, her mother."

While every family is free to grieve in whatever way they feel fit, there's something ghoulish about grief via reality TV.
