While Bobby's new wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, tells the media her hubby is "mentally in a great place" and thanks his fans for the concern, his only daughter with the late Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina, has a different opinion.
When asked by reporters if her dad was "rising above" his alcohol issues, she quipped: "rising above is not the word you should use...not at all."
