The reasons why Nick Gordon moved in with Whitney Houston aren’t entirely clear. He explained on Dr. Phil that his mother, Michelle, was moving to Florida and he didn’t want to go, expounding, “I probably wasn’t the brightest child. I gave my mom a couple problems and I didn’t agree with my stepdad on a few things.”
Gordon said Houston asked him to move in with her and Bobbi Kristina Brown after Bobby Brown moved on with another woman, with whom he had another child. “If I had to take a guess, they were very lonely, they were hurting,” he said, adding, “I guess I was trustworthy or the guy to move in.” He added that Bobby didn’t see Bobbi Kristina often, which hurt Bobbi Kristina, though she didn’t discuss it often.
Gordon said that he only met Bobby “like once,” and said it felt a bit like a relief when Bobby left the family home. He was a high school junior when he moved in and worked at a gym, but says he dropped out of school and that Houston told him he didn’t need to work anymore once he moved in with her.
Though Gordon had been estranged from his mother, after Bobbi Kristina’s bathtub drowning that ultimately led to her death, he and Michelle reconnected — and she reportedly was the one to reach out to Dr. Phil McGraw in an effort to save Gordon’s life.
