Whitney Houston’s family have reportedly banned her ex-husband from attending her funeral service on Saturday.

A source close to the tragic singer’s nearest and dearest said, “Whitney’s relatives think Bobby has already done enough damage.

“Everyone wants him out of their lives for good, and as distanced from Bobbi Kristina (his daughter) as possible.

“Whitney’s mum and other close family and friends always blamed Bobby for many of the problems she suffered.

“Marrying him was the start of her issues – and he has always been seen as a thorn in the family’s side.”

Unfortunately the 43-year-old R&B singer, who jetted to LA to be with his daughter as soon as he heard the news on Saturday, sees it a little bit differently.  

The source explained, “He’s insisting he has a right to go and pay his respects, as well as support Bobbi Kristina.”
