En_Sabah_Nur 9,359 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Whitney Houston's Best Friend Breaks Silence On Their 'Physical' Relationship Robyn Crawford said she and the late singer “never talked about labels, like lesbian or gay." “After years of rampant speculation, Whitney Houston’s longtime friend Robyn Crawford is finally shedding light on her relationship with the Grammy-winning superstar. In a new memoir, “A Song For You: My Life With Whitney Houston,” Crawford speaks at length about her years working for Houston, first as an assistant and later as a creative director. She also reveals that she and “The Bodyguard” star were romantic partners in the early 1980s. “I’d come to the point where I felt the need to stand up for our friendship,” Crawford writes in the book, explaining why she’s telling their story now, according to excerpts that appeared Wednesday in People. “And I felt an urgency to stand up and share the woman behind the incredible talent.” Crawford and Houston met as teens while working together at a community center in East Orange, New Jersey. The two women were soon inseparable, and according to Crawford, eventually became physical with one another. “We never talked about labels, like lesbian or gay,” Crawford writes. “We just lived our lives and I hoped it could go on that way forever.” Later, she adds, “Whitney knows I loved her and I know she loved me. We really meant everything to each other. We vowed to stand by each other.” According to Crawford, the physical aspect of the pair’s relationship ended shortly before Houston signed a contract with Clive Davis of Arista Records in 1983. To break the news, she says Houston gifted her with a Bible. “She said we shouldn’t be physical anymore, because it would make our journey even more difficult,” she says, adding that pressure from the pop star’s mother, Cissy Houston, didn’t help. “She said if people find out about us, they would use this against us, and back in the ’80s that’s how it felt.” ” SOURCE: https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5dc2e966e4b08b735d63835a/amp Egypt.

Maybe, maybe not, but if this is true and Whitney had been able to be out AND famous without having to choose, her life would’ve been a lot different. She may even still be alive today.

AJRocketMan 2,684 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 That’s so sad. I never thought about the possibility of Whitney ever being lesbian or bisexual. Back in the 80’s homosexuality of any kind was not socially acceptable and understandably gay celebrities were forced to remain closeted if they wanted careers. Just think about George Michael and Freddie Mercury. This is sad all around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
