According to reports, moves are being made to bring a Bobbi Kristina biopic to the small screen and Vivica Fox is allegedly involved in the project.

theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports a Bobbi Kristina Brown biopic is in the works! As you know, the latest New Edition biopic for BET pulled in some impressive numbers and TV One is the latest network hoping to capitalize in the biopic genre.
Sources exclusively tell us that TV One bought the rights to tell Bobbi Kristina’s story.
TV One feels like they can tell her story in a way that will resonate with her fans. There’s so much about her life that some people didn’t know about – outside of the headlines. They think they can pull it off.
According to the blog, Demetria McKinney has been cast to portray the late/great Whitney Houston and Vivica Fox will portray Pat Houston.
Production allegedly starts next month.
Thoughts?
Why? Bobbi isn’t a celebrity. It seems like they are exploiting her death.
This is shameful.
Is TV One serious? You know what, I’m going to have to boycott them. Not only did they find no problem airing Rickey Smiley’s son talking down to black women, but now they are trying to get ratings off of Bobbi Kristina. How disgusting!
Sad.
Why? She wasn’t a celebrity, she was a product of a car crash exploitation of her parts ups & downs.
Nope. Just nope. God rest her soul, however, of all the Unsung episodes these mfs have done, this is who they decide to do a biopic on? Nah.
This is some bullsh-t. Who the f-ck signed the rights away? They need their a-s whooped!
A biopic? They are doing way too much. They need to let that child rest in peace. And I’m disappointed in Viviva and Demetria for being a part of this.
This really doesn’t need to happen but these networks will do anything for ratings now. Instead of investing in more good biopics like the New Edition one, TV One wants to be lazy and exploit Bobbi’s premature death. Not cool.
