Whitney Houston's mother Cissy has criticized Clive Davis for inviting her to his annual Grammys party - the event at which her daughter passed away last year.

Whitney was found dead at the age of 48 in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel hours before she was due to perform at Davis's bash almost 12 months ago.

Cissy has now hit out at Davis for sending her an invitation to this year's pre-Grammys event, which is being held at the same hotel, Access Hollywood reports.

"I got an invitation to the party - which is the most obscene thing," she said. "I don't know why they would want me to come to the party in which she died, you know? Unheard of."

She added: "I guess maybe he just sent me a copy for remembrance sake."

However, Whitney's brother Gary and sister-in-law Pat are planning to attend the party, Entertainment Tonight reports.

"You know what, we're actually going to California to support Clive, who was such an important part of Whitney's life," Pat revealed. "I mean, that was her industry father and he really, really was... My husband and I - Gary and I - will definitely be there this weekend for the Grammy party to support Clive. Absolutely."

Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina recently criticized Cissy, claiming that her book Remembering Whitney is "disrespectful".

Do you think this is disrespectful? Or is Cissy acting crazy?

Clive threw that party while Nippy's body was still warm, if she kept that grudge to herself, I wouldn't blame her.

No, Cissy ain't crazy.

It's insensitive. He should have thought about it a little longer before sending that invite out. Hmm, let's see , "Would Whitney's mom want to to attend the same party, at the place where her daughter died exactly one year ago? Maybe not.

Oh yeah....and of course Pat and Gary are going to be there.

dont surprise me one at all that gary and pat going them fame seekers they will do just about anything .they will prolly go to the room where she died and charge people to reenact the death

Oh hell to the naw! I don't blame Cissy one bit!

How insensitive can Clive Davis be to think Cissy would really want to go party at the exact place where her daughter drowned in a bath tub a year ago?

And there are just no words potent enough to express what I'm thinking about Pat and Gary's trifling asses.

That's right mama, cuss old Silver Balls out!

I couldn't stand that little goodie two shoes but he's the one that turned her into one and he milked it for every dime he could get out of her. And when she died, he continued on with his party with her body still upstairs. Nobody deserves that, not even "her". And now he's got the nerve to throw a party at the same place and invite her mother. She needs to cuss that old silver balled child molesting looking pervert out.

Cissy took it as an insult.

You know I thought about that too. I believe if he was really thinking about being considerate to Cissy, he could've privately called her or something asking if she'd like to attend his party or not. This would have saved him from looking embarrassed and insensitive.

He doesn't give a damn about them. He proved that the night she died. All she was, was a money machine for him and he's still trying to make money off of her.

That was my thought. He can't win on this one.

Yea but I just think Clive likes to have it both ways and you cant have it both ways. You are either going to be sincere or do dont do anything at all. Like with him continuing to have the party last year the day Whitney passed away and her body was upstairs He made an excuse that went on with the party for Whitney but I HIGHLY doubt that.

It is insulting to invite her mother a year later at the same location her daughter passed.

I think Cissy is shady but I at least give her credit for having a back bone unlike another mother of a famous black family that shall remain nameless

Do you think if Clive was doing some kind of Whitney 1 year anniverary tribute at at this pre-Grammy party, and invited the family and other celebrities/friends etc, would Cissy be singing a different tune?

Nope.

Regardless of the purpose of the party, it doesn't change the fact that it's the same host, same venue, same time of year, etc. as her daughter's death bed. No mother would want to attend (no matter how nice or grand the gesture) something like that. It's just too much to bear for any parent. That's like asking a parent to visit a murder scene of where their child was murdered (to honor their legacy). WTF?! I ain't mad at Cissy for this.

If he wanted to be respectful, again I say he could've contacted her some way privately to see if she'd consider coming. But considering that we're talking about Clive, I don't trust his ass.

That's fine. He deserves it.

She was so offended that the first person she called was her press agent!

It's understandable, just as she didn't want to pose for a picture with the new wax statues of Whitney...

.

It's very understable, I wish pat would just disappear though. Cissy is very strong and confident

That's because there is no win, for him, on this one! Whitney Houston is dead and gone! Her death happened, damn near a year to the day, where she was getting ready to be at Clive's Pre-Grammy party!

Clive Davis was wrong as all hell for continuing that party last year, while Whitney's body was still upstairs. And he's just as wrong now, for thinking Cissy Houston would want to attend his party, now!

He has SHOWN, (to MY eyes) that he can undoubtedly, be one insensitive ass motherfucker! No ifs, ands, nor buts about it!

Oh please. Why do some people, especially some Black people act so righteous.

Cissy knew what Whitney was all about and that she was on a collision course with disaster.

If she hadn't been invited she would have had something to say.

The entire Houston/Drinkard family is/was full of alocholics/drug addicts/lesbians/homosexual, why Cissy acts all surprised and stays in denial is beyond me.

She used to have a problem with booze herself and was rumoured to be involved with a very famous singer's background singer.

Keep it moving Cissy, Nippy is gone. She was gone way before February of last year.

A messed up situation all around.

Yeah. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. I wouldn't want to be in his position.

I wonder if she's ever got an invite before?

whatever whitney was into she was this woman's child,to tell cissy to 'keep it moving' is beyond cold and heartless.clive was suppose to have loved and cared for whitney as if she was family yet he went on and had a damn party while she laid dead upstairs, now he invites her own mother back to the scene of whats probably the worse thing to ever happen to her.

clive has a bad reputation with black women artist. i mean for god sake t-boz almost blew his head off in his own office and i wish to god she pull the trigger. clive davis is a misserable snake in the grass and i wish some one would put him is his place. i wish miles davis was still around so he could tell this creep off.

Say what?

My righteousness...is not an act! It's who I am and what I be. All day...every day!

The problems that Whitney and Cissy may have had in their lives, do not give Clive Davis a pass on being the insensitive motherfucker that he has shown himself to be.

It was HE, that made the decision to continue the Pre-Grammy party last year, while Whitney Houston's dead body was still warm and a few floors above.

It was HE, that made the insensitive decision to invite Cissy Houston to his party, this year.

Their past does not excuse his present. If anything, it clearly exhibits how the enabling from ALL supposedly concerned...can and often IS...hazardous!

Pretty much.

How did TBoz almost kill him?
