PHOTO OP: Nick Gordon Reportedly Paid $40K For ‘Teary’ Pics Taken Near Bobbi Kristina’s Grave…

Bobbi Kristina Brown‘s fake husband, Nick Gordon, may have been banned from her funeral but that apparently can’t stop him visiting her gravesite.

While a multi-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit still looms over his head (click HERE if you missed that), the ‘grieving’ former partner of Whitney Houston’s daughter took the opportunity to pay his own respects to his lost love last week, as he remembered Brown in his own way by paying a visit to her grave.

With red and pink roses in hand, and carrying a folder full of photos featuring himself, Bobbi Kristina and Whitney Houston, Gordon spent about an hour at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, where both Brown and Houston were laid to rest and shed a few tears for the paparazzi.

While his visit seems like a noble gesture, it’s being reported that Nick copped a check for about $40,000 for his time.

Entertainment Tonight nabbed the exclusive photos of Nick Gordon as he visited Bobbi Kristina’s gravesite, reporting:

The 25-year-old sat quietly, crying and sometimes speaking softly, while touching the plot where Brown rests in peace.

The visit comes after Gordon became the target of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Brown’s court-appointed conservator, Bedelia Hargrove.

The original lawsuit filed on June 24 claimed that Gordon assaulted Brown and stole thousands from her. An amendment filed later alleged that after a late-night “cocaine and drinking binge,” Gordon “gave Bobbi Kristina a toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious and then put her face down in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage.”

It’s being reported that Nick was paid at least $40,000 for enduring the pain of visiting his dead girlfriends grave, as that was the going rate for photos and video of his ‘secret’ pilgrimage.

Page Six reports that?the money ‘allegedly’ will go towards Gordon’s ?legal defense fund? because Nick is ?broke? and needs funds to defend the various lawsuits against him.

While no criminal charges have been filed against Gordon, who currently resides in Florida with his mom, Michelle., the Fulton County D.A. states, “The case remains open and under investigation.”

What do you think of Nick Gordon’s profiting from Bobbi Kristina’s demise?
