As previously reported, Bobbi’s estate filed a million lawsuit against Gordon, claiming that he stole money from her and gave her a “toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious” before he allegedly “put her face down in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage”.
Now Us Weekly reports Gordon is asking the court for a stay of civil proceedings. Legal documents obtained by the publication state that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s celebrity has drawn media attention, on both a national and worldwide scale, to the case.
In Gordon’s lawsuit, he has pointed out that the case being the center of headlines as well as Bobbi Kristina’s parents being the famous Bobby Brown and late Whitney Houston, has been a huge disadvantage for him. In addition to being unfair to Gordon, his lawyers alsp claim statements made by their client during the earlier civil case may be incriminating. He believes it will lead to him being “unfairly, legally and financially prejudiced should he be subject to parallel criminal and civil proceedings”.
The filing reportedly argues her lawsuit alleges that: “Mr. Gordon is a murderer, a habitual batterer of women, a seducer of young white females, a thief and/or con-man fuelled by monetary gain, and a chemist capable of making a toxic cocktail”, and that “these allegations within this suit, while lacking any supporting facts whatsoever, are created to appeal emotionally and with racial animus against Mr. Gordon”.
