Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, has had the privilege and sacrifice of growing up in the public eye. Now she will have to cope with the loss of her mom while the world focuses on her every move.
Former child star Kim Fields, perhaps best known for playing Tootie on "The Facts of Life," knows what it’s like to be young and live life in the glare of the spotlight. Fields tells HLN’s Showbiz Tonight this will be a crucial time for Bobbi Kristina in her healing process.
Fields also says “it’s extraordinarily difficult growing up in a fishbowl,” and agrees with the advice Janet Jackson recently gave Bobbi Kristina on Anderson Cooper’s daytime talk show. In that interview, Jackson told Cooper it’s hard but there comes a time where you move on with your life. Fields says Bobbi Kristina needs to move on to “a healthy place where you’re able to say this is what happened and here’s how I can at some point become stronger and better and wiser from it.”
