Sources are reporting that Bobby's wife Alicia Etheredge suffered a seizure Saturday night at the hotel where the couple was staying after Bobbi Kristina's funeral that morning.
Alicia was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where she was apparently able to walk inside on her own. Bobby is there by her side now, too — and we'll update you with more as we know it

The Houston and Brown families worst fears have reportedly come true — a photo of Bobbi Kristina lying in her casket has been sold to a media outlet. So disturbing.
A photo of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s dead body was reportedly shopped around to media outlets — and sold for more than $100,000. The pic was allegedly taken during Bobbi’s wake, which took place one day before the funeral in Alpharetta, Georgia on Aug. 1.
As if the Houston and Brown families aren’t already dealing with enough following Bobbi’s tragic death on July 26, there’s now a new source of tension between the feuding relatives. Both sides of Bobbi’s famous family are reportedly blaming one another for leaking the picture, according to TMZ.
Security was beefed up for the wake and funeral, but the site reports that someone managed to sneakily snap the disturbing photograph, and has sold it to a media outlet for more than $100,000. Sadly, the Brown family was worried something like this would happen, especially after someone sold a coffin photo of Bobbi’s mom, Whitney Houston, to the National Enquirer when she died in 2012…and it ended up on the magazine’s cover. There’s never been confirmed proof of who took said picture, but the Browns are convinced it was someone in the Houston family.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the drama between Bobbi’s warring family members. Leolah Brown was allegedly kicked out of the Aug. 1 funeral service after she screamed at Pat Houston. While Pat was giving her eulogy, Leolah yelled out, “Pat you know you are wrong for this!” TMZ claims, at which point she was immediately escorted from the church by security and Houston family friend, Tyler Perry. Once outside, Leolah reportedly continued, “Whitney Houston will haunt Pat Houston from the grave. It’s not over. We’ve got evidence of who Pat really is, this is going to be a long drawn out process. Things are connected. Pat is a fraud and a phony.”
Following the wake and funeral, Bobbi’s body was sent to New Jersey, and a gold hearse arrived at the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark in the early morning. Bobbi will be buried beside her mother in Fairview Cemetery.
SO you think a member of the Houston or Brown family actually sold a photo of Bobbi in her casket?

| Bobbi Kristina Burial |
So heartbreaking. At Bobbi Kristina’s burial, her father Bobby Brown was unable to keep it together, HollywoodLife has learned EXCLUSIVELY. In fact, other guests were even worried about him.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was laid to rest on Aug. 3 in Newark, New Jersey, and her father, Bobby Brown, 46, was inconsolable. In fact, Bobby was so upset that he was nearly incoherent, according to Mark Behar, a former bodyguard for Bobby’s late ex-wife, Whitney Houston, who was at both the funeral and the burial. Bobbi tragically passed away on July 26, at the way too young age of 22. Her death followed an almost 7-month period which she spent in a coma, and when it was finally time to say goodbye, her dad Bobby was so out of it that he was talking to himself, Mark revealed to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY.
“Bobby is obviously and understandably struggling,” Mark told us EXCLUSIVELY. “He seemed really out of it and was mumbling to himself and walking around like he was lost. Many of the guests were even concerned about him. It was a very somber mood today.” We can only imagine how difficult this is for Bobby, who fathered Bobbi K with Whitney, whom Bobbi was buried alongside at the Westfield Cemetery.
Bobby wasn’t the only one who was completely undone by the burial proceedings. “At least three or four of Bobbi Kristina’s family members were so distraught and emotional, they got light headed and almost fainted– having to be taken care of by others,” Mark added. “Almost everyone was crying their eyes out throughout the entire ceremony. Several fans had been camped out since yesterday, and were holding up signs and brought floral arrangements and gifts like stuffed animals.”
Bobbi Kristina was clearly adored by tons of people around the world, and while Bobby copes with this massive loss, we hope he can find some comfort in that. We’re sending Bobby, and the rest of Bobbi Kristina’s friends, family and loved ones our thoughts and prayers during this treacherous time.
