There have been a number of revelations made about the late and great Whitney Houston since her passing. It appears everyone who was holding back on their own stories and their own versions of who Whitney was and where she came from, is finally speaking out – as their boss isn’t here to keep an eye on them anymore.
Months after the first official documentary based on the life of the late songstress, backed by her estate and label, was released worldwide – with the claim that the icon was once sexually molested as a child by her famous cousin, Dee Dee Warwick – another friend has come out to refute that claim.
That friend is Robyn Crawford.
Presently busy promoting her own memoir, reflecting on her life with Houston as her closest confidante and personal assistant for years, Crawford indicates that there may not be much to the claims in the 2018-released documentary by Kevin MacDonald.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘A Song For You’, Robyn writes that the two shared a lot of intimate details about their respective families with each other, and she never heard Whitney speak about any form of abuse from Dee Dee.
Here’s what she is quoted in her writing:
“Whitney loved Dee Dee. She was very close to the Warwick family. Both before all of her success — and during.”
She further added:
“She and I talked a lot about our families. She shared everything with me about her family, as I did mine. If that was true, I would have known about it. She would have told me.”
Previously, during the release of the film ‘Whitney’ and the bombshell claims made on it, Houston’s mother Cissy, had also come out protesting about the things said on it in respect to Whitney and Dee Dee.
“Dee Dee may have had her personal challenges,” Cissy said around that time, “…but the idea that she would have molested my children is overwhelming and for us unfathomable.”
If anything, this does indeed put a big question mark on how those claims were made in the documentary and where did it all come from?
Sadly, neither Whitney nor Dee Dee are here to support or refute any of these claims themselves.
