![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Laurence Fishburne is secretly funding his daughter Montana's legal defense ... sources tell TMZ.
TMZ broke the story ... Montana Fishburne claimed daddy Laurence wanted nothing to do with her after she decided to enter the world of porn.
But now we're told ... It was Laurence who hired Montana's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, to represent her in an ongoing assault with a deadly weapon case ... in an attempt to help her out and get her life back on track. We contacted Holley -- she refused to comment.
Our sources say Laurence continues to foot the bill for Montana's defense.
So, Montana, who loves ya?

I don't think there's anything unusual here. Parents love their kids, even when they **** up completely. My parents have bailed my brother out of jail, supported me after a terrible divorce, and taken another brother in when he cheated on his wife. That's what parents do. They love you. Even when you're an unbelievable **** up.

Just wondering ... who would want to watch this chick in porno, anyway? She looks exactly like her father and he's not even an attractive guy.

I'm sure he realizes his daughter is a complete moron/whore but still doesn't want her to end up in jail. He probably should have used that money to send her to college or something. Stupid whore.

that's the only right thing to do. alienating yourself from a wayward daughter does not help in getting her back to the right track.
no offense meant but i'm sure montana turned out that way because of her relationship with her dad and that should have to be fixed right away.
word get around in hollywood that lawrence is not the nicest guy to deal with and i hope this is a wake up call.
matrix is still my favorite movie of all time!!!

Poor dad, he still trying to make sure she doesn't end in some horrible place. She is terribly misguided, poor Laurence. I am surprised he has not had a heart attack! I hope the judge sends her to whatever program will take her away from pimping, she talks like a pimp! How can this happen!! I hope her court hearing is soon, someone needs to help her and she didn't listen to her dad, so the court is the only friend she has left. I think Laurence is just trying to make sure she ends up in a place where she can get help and not just rot in jail. Fatherly love!!

And how is bailing her out of trouble going to help her the next time she gets in a jam. What is she learning from her actions? NADA - Nothing if other people are going to bail her out.

Ongoing assault with a deadly weapon. What is the weapon? I guess her porn career is on hold. Charming.

Of course he's paying for it. Montana wants to act all ghetto and badazz, but the truth is she grew up with a pretty cushy life compared to most and daddy is still footing the bill.
Get a clue Montana. No one believes your "I'm so hood" act on Twitter.

DUMB! Let her go to prison! It will probably be the best thing to get her "life back on track". Right now, she thinks she can do anything without any consequences!
