Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina is officially engaged, which is wonderful news, until you find out that she’s engaged to her brother and you spit coffee all over your computer screen.

Bobbi Kristina Brown recently announced her engagement to Nick Gordon, who was raised as Bobbi Kristina’s brother. Though the two are not biologically related, nor was Nick ever officially adopted, Whitney called Nick her “son,” and he spent his formative years in the same household as Bobbi Kristina.

In a post made yesterday on Bobbi’s official Facebook page, she responded to the backlash, seeming more than a little fed up:

“YES, we me nick are engaged. I’m tired of hearing people say “eww your engaged to your brother or if Whitney was still alive would we be together or would she approve of this.” Let me clear up something, we aren’t even real brother and sister nor is he my adoptive brother. My mom never adopted him. In fact, mommy was the one who even said that she knew that we were going to start dating. My mom knows me better than any of you. A lot of yall are saying that yall are only saying this all out of love. Which is bull because if that was so, all you would want is for me to be happy. People need to seriously stop judging my relationship. Pretty sure it’s my own decision who I want to be with. Yes, my relationship may not be perfect. We will have rough patches, just like every other relationship. And we have had our rough patches. You may or may not agree with my relationship. You may or may not respect it. Judge me, go ahead. Your opinions are yours and mine are mine. It is my life and not yours. The decisions I make have nothing to do with you. Goodnight.”

BOBBI KRISTINA OUT!
