Bobbi Kristina Rehab-Bound

“They tried to make me go to rehab….”

It’s rehab for Bobby and Whitney’s out of control celebuspawn, Bobbi Kristina Brown.

The formerly cracked-out couple — who were married for 14 years before finally calling it quits in 2007 — have come together in a rare display of unity to check there troubled daughter into an undisclosed out-patient rehab program after The National Enquirer published snaps of Bobbi Kris (or “Krissi,” as she now prefers to be called…) snorting cocaine that rocked the web earlier this month. A former boyfriend told the tabloid that Krissi, who just turned 18, has bedded more than 30 men and is quietly battling an addiction to the anti-anxiety drug Zanax.

While Bobby and Whitney can’t help but blame one another for Bobbi Kris’ troubles, the parents agree that intervention is in order.

“Whitney called Bobby and they agreed that Krissi needs rehab,” a source-type blabs of the reaction that ensued shortly after the cocaine pic scandal broke. “They also agreed on a tough-love move to shake Krissi up, and Whitney returned a Lexus convertible she’d bought for Krissi birthday.”

Naturally, Ole Bobbi Kris is fighting the idea of rehab tooth-and-nail, according to insiders.

“Krissi is denying that she has a problem. She says that she does cocaine for fun and isn’t addicted.”

Famous last words?

“Bobby reminded Whitney that she used to have drugs all over their house. He also accused her of being ‘coked up’ in public, looking like a mess, and setting a bad example all along to their daughter,” the Enquirer source adds.

Well — she wasn’t going to take that lying down!

“Whitney told Bobby he did drugs too and got into more legal trouble than she ever did….Bobby and Whitney and pointing fingers at each other, but the truth is that they’re both responsible, Krissi has been around while her parents and their friends were drinking and drugging ever since she was a little girl.”

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Crackies: Back in December, reps for ’80s R&B star Bobby Brown and singing legend Whitney Houston denied a tabloid report that claimed the former couple had staged an intervention for their out-of-control teen daughter, Bobbi Kristina. As it turns out, Homegirl could likely use a trip to Celebrity Rehab. Spies at The National Enquirer have gotten their Hot Little Hands on incriminating snaps of Bobbi Kris “allegedly” (Hint, Nudge, Wink) powdering her nose with “The Good Shit.”

Where’s that Dr. Drew when you need him?

In a nutshell, the 18-year-old — who has previously been photographed downing cans of Four Loko — says the incriminating photos are “not what it looks like” and were sold to The Enquirer by an ex-boyfriend out for revenge.

Uh-Huh….

In a series of posts to her Twitter page Thursday, the self-proclaimed “RealBKBrown” sprouted out a rambling explanation for the heavily-Googled images: “The pictures_ a former very dear person to me did this. Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like. God will smite them yes..But it’s really not what it looks like.. People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I’m very hurt by this. Thing’s people do these days to hurt others is a shame. All I can do now, is keep my head up high, keep looking towards the lord.All the lord is telling me is be still. That’s all, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. #BeStill,” the teen wrote.

“I love my family so much,” she continued. “My mom just comforted me to the max, and I’m so thankful for her. Thank you so much lord for blessing me with an Phenomenal family and incredibly phenomenal mother. Thank you for giving me the strength to move forward and put things in the past,” Bobbi K. went on.

“And the person that did this was a result of a horrible relationship that went sour. I was in love_ he was in love with money. I’ve learned My lesson. I’m so much greater and blessed for it today, and I believe nothing less. That is the last I will speak of this, let’s praise god And be greatful [sic] and thankful for your family, and people that truly love you, strength, courage, and life lessons learned.
