Another day, another charge being dropped from Nick Gordon’s criminal record. In the latest domestic violence saga involving the former boyfriend of the late Bobbi Kristina Brown (Bobby & Whitney’s daughter) and his current girlfriend, Laura Leal, there has just been yet another plot twist. One thing remains the same though- Nick gets off again.
Nick Gordon just learned that he will NOT be facing criminal charges for reportedly brutally beating Laura for the second time in less than a year. How could that be, you ask? Apparently it had everything to do with Laura flip floppin’ her story at the last minute. Here’s what was just reported:
Via TMZ: Prosecutors in Seminole County, Florida say they will not charge him because Nick’s Gordon’s gf, Laura Leal, recanted her original statement to law enforcement … denying Nick had beaten her. Prosecutors also said without any independent witnesses they couldn’t move forward with charges. […] Nick’s not completely out of the woods — he was charged for violating a court order to stay away from Laura after the arrest.
Recap Of Their Drama & 911 Call
As we previously reported, Nick admitted hitting his girlfriend, Laura, during a separate brutal fight in June 2017, in which she called the police on him and showed bruises on her body. On March 11, 2018, it was Nick who called the cops on Laura, in what appeared to be his way of doing damage control at that time.
Nick, who seems to stand about 6’0″+ tall, cried hysterically in the 911 call, as he told the dispatcher that Laura, who appears to stand about 5’4″ or so, weighing approximately 135+ lbs, was beating him up. However, once the cps arrived to his Seminole, FL, it was Nick who was arrested.

During the call, Nick was heard saying, “I feel so lame because I’m getting beat up by a woman,” as Laura is heard in the background yelling at him and at one point screaming something like ‘he called the police and HE hit ME in the face!’
What made the call even more Oscar worthy, is that Nick allowed, what appeared to be, his true intentions of the call surface- that he knew he was wrong, but had to think of something quick to avoid jail time, like he did the last time he reportedly beat Laura. That was evident by him repeatedly stating to the dispatcher, that Laura has ‘called the cops’ on him before. Shouldn’t that be totally irrelevant when one is supposedly in the midst of getting brutalized and fearing for their life? At any rate, as Nick was crying profusely during the 911 call, he then said Laura hit him with a bottle. Once cops arrived, they found a whole ‘notha scenario though, which ultimately backfired on Nick.
According to TMZ, Laura said:
…She picked up Gordon from a bar and that while driving back he allegedly struck her in the right side of her face several times. She also says in the report that he pulled her hair and told her he should make her crash her car. Once home, she claims they got into another verbal altercation. The arresting officer says he saw visible marks on the GF, and placed Gordon under arrest even though the woman refused to press charges.
The judge ordered Nick and Laura to follow a strict ‘no contact’ order until further notice, then this happened…

Laura yet again backed down and did a switch-a-roo with her story. Following the judge’s ‘no-contact’ order, she begged the court to let Nick off the hook, by dropping the charges. She then refused to testify and changed her story from victim to aggressor, stating her busted lip (which was reported in the police report) wasn’t busted, but rather “chapped and dry.” She then claimed their fight was her fault because she’s “bipolar.”
Bobby Brown reached out to offer help Laura with leaving her volatile relationship with his daughter’s ex, Nick. As far as we know, Laura never responded.
