Gordon's attorneys, Joe Habachy and Jose Baez, responded to the filing in a statement to NBC News:

"The recent lawsuit against Nick is slanderous and meritless. Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it's shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly. Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most."

"The passing of Bobbi Kristina is devastating to Nick and our family," Nick's mother said after the tragedy. "Nick loved and cared for Krissi deeply, and he has suffered greatly each and every day they've been apart," she said in a statement to NBC News. "Nick and our family are in mourning, and we ask that you respect our privacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with both the Houstons and the Browns during this difficult time."
