Now here's a report from Us magazine suggesting some family members are actually trying to profit from her difficulty, asking for certain perks in exchange for giving interviews.

No one has asked me for any money; the AJC doesn't pay people to interview them. It's not at all unusual for magazines to pay for stuff though - celebrity wedding photos and baby pictures are often published through exclusive contracts.

ExploreIn recent days Bobbi Kristina's family have escalating their virtual squabbling, issuing dueling statements through representatives or on social media.

Last week Bobby Brown's attorney issued a statement last week saying "it is requested that the media cease speaking with unauthorized members of the family" after a cousin announced plans for a "meet and greet with fans."
