Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina’s relationship was toxic. We all know that. But who knew some of the grizzly details of what was going on behind closed doors? A friend of Bobbi Kristina opened up to E!’s Giuliana Rancic and she dishes on their personal life and why she thinks Nick was no good for Bobbi Kris.
“Pretty soon after we met she started telling me about the times he had been physically abusive and it just kept escalating,” said Alex Reid, close friend of Bobbi Kristina’s. “It just kept getting worse and worse.”
Alex said that Bobbi Kris was always looking for someone to connect to after the loss of her mother. “She used to tell me, like, ‘Alex there’s no one in the world who loves me. Like there’s no one who just loves me. My mom. I used to just lay in my mom’s arms in bed and just know that I was loved’.”
Alex also opens up about the abuse Bobbi sustained at the hands of Nick. “He was known to choke her. Throw her on the walls, punch her in the jaw. Just unbelievable stuff. It was really this off the handle temper. I would ask her ‘What started this?’ and it would always be nothing. He just couldn’t control himself.”
“I never witnessed anything. She would FaceTime me every time she was distraught, when something has just happened or show me a bruise,” she added. “One time I remember she called me for three hours. She was hyperventilating. I could barely understand what she was saying because she was so distraught.”
Alex said that Bobbi Kris was so dependent on Nick Gordon because she was isolated from her family. “I don’t know when he started hitting her but I know of at least four occasions when he struck her. She also told me about how he had tried to choke her once. She was definitely scared. She had some friends, but not many. Krissi felt isolated from the whole family and that left her completely dependent on Nick for everything. It was just her and Nick and that was it.”
