Bobby Brown is lending a hand to Nick Gordon’s girlfriend, Laura Leal, after Gordon was arrested on domestic violence charges in Florida on Saturday, March 10.The former New Edition member, 49, and his attorney Christopher Brown offered their support for Leal through the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House, a nonprofit organization founded after the 2015 death of Bobbi Kristina Brown, Bobby’s daughter with his late ex-wife, Whitney Houston.
“Domestic violence killed my daughter, and on March 4, 2018, the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House held our first event to strike back at domestic violence,” the “Every Little Step” singer, 49, said in a statement to Us Weekly on Sunday, March 11. “I personally would like to extend my hand to Ms. Leal and offer her services through our organization. I do not want to see any more families destroyed at the hands of domestic violence and I do not want any more women to suffer like my daughter did. We are here to assist and we hope to hear from Ms. Leal.”
Bobby’s lawyer Christopher expressed similar sentiments. “We have been informed that Nick Gordon was arrested for domestic violence of Laura Leal in Florida yesterday,” he told Us in a statement. “We would like to speak with Ms. Leal and offer her services through the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House, a not-for-profit organization designed to assist women who have been victims of domestic violence.”
Gordon, 29, was taken into policy custody in the early hours of Saturday morning and charged with battery. He was given a bond of $500 and is due to appear in court on April 6.
