Just two days after Bobbi Kristina's funeral the Brown (Bobby Brown right) and Houston families (Pat and Rayah Houston left) are at war once again. The issue this time is a photo of Bobbi Kristina (inset) taken as she lay in her casket that has reportedly been sold for six figures after a heated bidding battle. Both sides are accusing the other of being responsible for inviting the unknown guest who allegedly snapped the picture.
TMZ reports that the photo was taken during Bobbi Kristina's viewing and that the winning bid topped $100,000.
It is not known which media outlet purchased the picture.
Making matters worse is the fact that intense precautionary measures were taken at both the funeral and wake to make sure this would not happen and that no one would be able to see Bobbi Kristina just before she was laid to rest.
The Browns may have had a bit more reason to be nervous however as the same thing happened three years ago at Whitney Houston's funeral.
That photo ended up on the cover of The National Enquirer and the individual who sold the picture was never revealed by the tabloid.
In early July a photo of Bobbi Kristina in her hospice bed was also being shopped around for $100,000, though it never ran in a media outlet.
The National Enquirer did however recreate the photo using a model with a strong resemblance to Bobbi Kristina.

After learning someone had taken a photo of Bobbi Kristina as she lay dying, Leolah Brown - Bobby Brown's sister - wrote on Facebook; 'Please know that, that picture that was taken of my niece, Bobbi Kristina was taken when NO other Brown was around her. My brothers KNOW this and we have already determined who we are sure it WAS NOT! And believe me-IT WAS NOT A BROWN!'
She went on to say; 'Meanwhile Bobbi Kristina is not comfortable with NOT ONE HOUSTON coming up there to see her! Yes, I said it because it's the DAM TRUTH! FURTHERMORE, BOBBI KRISS DOES NOT WANT PAT GARLAND [Houston] NOWHERE NEAR HER!!!'
Leolah has been very vocal when it comes to her feelings about Pat Houston, and at Bobbi Kristina's funeral on Saturday was escorted from the church after standing up yelling at Pat during her eulogy.
Tyler Perry walked her out of the service after she said; 'Whitney is rolling over in her grave! You are so wrong for this, Pat!'
Leolah said outside the church that she was upset that Pat had asked mourners to send money to her charity in lieu of sending flowers to Bobbi Kristina's funeral - and that she did so without asking her brother Bobby.
The final service for Bobbi Kristina took place on Monday at Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey before she was finally laid to rest at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfeld beside her mother Whitney Houston.
Bobbi Kristina died in hospice care July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome on January 31.

FAMILIES AT WAR: BROWN AND HOUSTON'S CLASH AS THEY BOTH COME TOGETHER TO BURY BOBBI KRISTINA
Last Thursday, Bobby Brown's sister, Leolah Brown, took to her Facebook page to rant against Pat Houston whom she earlier damned for attempting to raise money for her foundation through public donations in Bobbi Kristina's name.
Then, she wrote: 'The Brown family has just learned that Marion Patricia Houston, AKA: Pat Houston, is asking for the public to send money to her foundation (The Marion P Foundation) on behalf of my niece Bobbi Kristina.
'She has not even sat down & spoken to my brother Bobby, who is Bobbi Kristina's father, about this. PLEASE keep your money in your pockets and give absolutely NOTHING to the Marion P foundation. Unless you don't mind supporting such an evil and dirty foundation. Lastly, keep your eyes & ears open as THE TRUTH is being revealed.'
In her latest Facebook diatribe, posted on Friday, Leolah appeared to challenge Pat Houston to face off with her publicly.
Furious tirade: Leolah Brown (left) vented her feelings very publicly about Pat Houston (pictured right, center) during Bobbi Kristina's funeral
She wrote: 'You notice, no matter what I say, Pat never says anything following, to at least defend herself? Just think about it. Use your God-given brains. If, what I was saying was untrue or just talking for no reason at all…whey would she not defend herself if I am wrong?
'…I will tell you. Because SHE CANNOT talk back to truth. She has no leg to stand on.
'Furthermore, she is not the sweet quiet person that she 'tried' so hard to make people believe she was on the Oprah show. She would like the public to think that..but she is very good and polished on keeping her composure when she is under the microscope.'
Leolah went on to claim: 'Whitney and I spoke on this on many occasions – so don't let her fool you. Although she is being quiet, she is indeed heated right now! Because her world is tumbling down!'
In the lengthy and rambling post Leolah stated: 'She is actually in shock right now J because a Brown is usually silent. If you check my record: 'I never have said anything until Whitney was murdered and now my niece Bobby Kristina!...I play no games nor pull any punches when it comes to the truth! I am ready on any given day. And she could come any way she would ever choose. She will be at the bottom. This is why she is quiet and refuse (sic) to comment of fight me on anything I say!'
