Whitney Houston's grieving family have been rocked by the news that the singer's daughter Bobbi Kristina has gone public with her 'unofficial' adoptive brother.

And now Whitney's mother Cissy has come forward to blast her granddaughter, calling their relationship 'incestuous'.

Nick Gordon was welcomed into the family aged 12, after Whitney took him in when his father went to prison and his mother was unable to look after him.

But despite not being blood relatives, Cissy has been left upset by their union, telling website TMZ: "What they're doing is incestuous".

The couple are believed to have got engaged earlier this week, and Bobbi has been spotted wearing a large ring on her wedding finger as she stepped out with Nick in the States.

A source told the US' Star magazine: "Nick proposed to Krissy on March 10, and she said yes. Krissy said Nick is the only person she trusts in the world. They have a very deep connection."

Nick took to Twitter to respond to criticism of their relationship earlier this week, writing: "Yea we got a little closer and what!!! All the haters that dont know us or th real story can't un follow me. I don't give a f**k.

"I've proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don't owe any of you anything. Ha I don't even know y'all haters...Some ppl have no lives so they gotta be in ours."

It was previously reported that Cissy had attempted to get Nick evicted from Whitney's home after her death, with a source telling TMZ: "Cissy Houston believes Nick is a bad influence on her granddaughter and wants him out of the Houston family home in Atlanta."

Fran Singh: Whitney, Women, Addiction and the Press

The tabloid press can struggle with journalistic ethics surrounding intrusion into grief at the best of times. With the death of Houston they faced two further tests; writing respectfully about women and responsibly reporting drug addiction. On both counts I think they've failed. Much like the case of Amy Winehouse, the reason for her death was considered a given before any official statement was made. "Once an addict, always an addict". It's a lazy and inaccurate portrayal of addiction but one all too often taken up by the popular press.

Maer Roshan: Whitney Houston and the Media Celebrity Death Watch

Our nation's seemingly ravenous appetite for drugs also raises problematic questions about the larger culture the media has helped create. Why is it that a nation that enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world also suffers one of the highest rates of drug abuse?

Andrea Mann: The Summer of Whitney Houston

To a young British girl (me) Whitney Houston (she) was exotic. Her songs were exotic. She may have launched her career with a song about loving a married man, but on her eponymous second album - not to be confused with her eponymous debut album - Whitney took it one step further, and sang about loving yourself. We Brits had never heard of such a thing!

Is it possible he is Whitney's real child that she tried to hide? (maybe because of the father?) Maybe mom knows something we don't!

Wow! Them two druggies didn't waste any time did they. Now that they have Whitney's money they can do as they please. I wonder if Whitney approved of this relationship? I think maybe not. Bobbi talked about having a singing and acting career on Oprah. In fact that is all she talked about. Stated several times that Whitney prepared her for this very moment. She claims she inherited her mothers voice. It all seems sinister to me. Whitney's sister in law hinting that maybe Whitney was murdered in the bath tub might not be so far off base after all. Maybe those two have been intimate all along. Both use drugs. They both seem too happy.

Whitney never officially adopted this young man. So all of you that are saying it is incest because he was adopted are wrong. Plus the Old lady can't do much can she? Bobbi (aka) Kristina is an adult and can do what she wants. Grandma doesn't hold the purse strings. Now what she's going to have to worry about is that good for nothing Father asking her for money.

after having lost her mother, he is her comfort zone, i feel so bad for this little girl, he is probably someone she feels close to, would be nice if people really realized what it feels like to lose someone you dearly loved, she is grieving, and needs time to do so, blessings Bobbi,

Well reading this, I can only assume that Bobbi Kristina has found her own Bobbi Brown to look after her, funny how he proposed shortly after her mum died, could this be Bobbi Kristina's inheritance and because Cissi wants him out of the house, Bobbi Kristina by all accounts is still in a very fragile state of mind, lets hope they dont go down the same route as her mum and dad, I know I am being cynical, but just my opinion, I would like to think that they will go on and live a long and happy drug free life together, but... just saying!!
