Atlanta singer Bobby Brown has been committed to stopping domestic violence ever since his daughter lost her life in 2015 in a tragedy marred in controversy.
In the wake of her death, he began a domestic violence initiative that culminated this week with the not-for-profit Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House near Atlanta. The shelter will be a refuge for battered women and also offer a 24-hour crisis intervention line and an emergency transitional shelter.
Bobby Brown opens domestic violence shelter in Atlanta
Brown was honored Monday with three proclamations from officials in Atlanta, Fulton County and the City of South Fulton.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, was found dead in a bathtub three years after her mother, singer Whitney Houston, died the same way.
Brown was accompanied by his wife Alicia at the event.
Many have blamed Brown for his bad fortune but in a recent interview, he defended his reputation.
“I think the bad boy image came from me being on stage, not from me being a human being. If you see me in person, meet in person somewhere, you won’t call me a bad guy. You’d call me Bobby.”

Southwest Atlanta fitness buffs are getting a new place to work on there muscles. Planet Fitness is set to open at Mall West End at 854 Oak St SW Suite 546, Atlanta, GA 30310.
This marks the second location for the Hampton, New Hampshire-based company. In 2016, it opened a Planet Fitness at Greenbriar Mall.
Update: A month after West End Planet Fitness opened, we went online to see how the reviews were. Here’s one that summed up many of the general sentiments:
“GREAT GYM!!! This is the first gym that I’ve ever worked out in. I’m trying to get my body in shape. I was always uncomfortable with working out in front/with other people. But, coming here, I kinda feel more comfortable working out. I guess the other part of that is just me – ‘I have to get comfortable with myself.’ The gym is doing its part with the comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Gym is ALWAYS clean when I come. I haven’t had any issues with the staff.”
Planet Fitness opens at West End mall
Planet Fitness began in 1992 when a struggling gym in Dover, New Hampshire was transformed into a no-frills ” Judgment Free” zone. Plans start at $10 a month.
Visit PlanetFitness.com to get announcements on pre-sale offers, including online only deals.
