The Bobbi Kristina TV movie will air as planned this weekend after a judge shot down Bobby Brown's effort to stop the film from airing.
In a statement to The Blast, TV One said, "Today, the court rejected a motion for a preliminary injunction filed by Bobby Brown and the Estate for Bobbi Kristina Brown that sought to enjoin the network's airing of the original movie, 'Bobbi Kristina.'"
They continued, "We are pleased with the court's ruling and look forward to sharing this poignant look at the life of Bobbi Kristina Brown with our audience on Sunday, Oct. 8 at 7:00 PM ET on TV One."

As The Blast first reported, Brown sued the producers and TV One to try and keep the movie from airing. Brown claimed the movie was full of lies — depicting scenes of him abusing Whitney Houston and not loving Bobbi Kristina.
The producers countered by saying Brown chronicled events like these in his own autobiography, "Every Little Step."
Brown still has claims of libel and slander that have yet to be ruled on.
