Friends of Whitney Houston — who are peddling a documentary film on her life — claim Whitney was molested by Dionne Warwick’s sister, singer Dee Dee Warwick.
Dee Dee is not around to defend herself; she died in 2008 at age 63 following a long illness.
Dee Dee is Whitney’s cousin and the younger sister of pop legend Dionne Warwick, the family member who had the most influence on Whitney’s music career.
The documentary “Whitney” premiered at Cannes film festival on Wednesday night and the filmmakers waited until the end of the film to drop the shocking claim that the legendary singer was molested by her cousin at a young age.
Mary Jones, a longtime assistant to Houston, revealed in the documentary that Whitney told her Warwick had molested her.
“It made her question her sexual preference,” Jones told Entertainment Weekly.
In her 2013 book, “Remembering Whitney”, Cissy Houston, gospel singer and Whitney’s mother, makes no mention of molestation claims.
“I think she was ashamed,” Jones said of why Whitney never told her mother. “If Cissy had known, she would have done something about it, because Cissy loves her children.”
Cissy does mention Robyn Crawford, Whitney’s best friend and personal assistant, who may or may not have been involved in a romantic relationship with Whitney.
It was Robyn who told Cissy about her daughter’s drug problems. Cissy would later say she respected Robyn for that.
Whitney died of an accidental drowning at age 48 on Feb. 11, 2012 in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub.
Her pop single “I Will Always Love You” is the fifth best-selling single in the world with certified sales of 20 million.
It’s not totally beyond the realm of possibility. I believe in speaking truth to power so I am not one to tell someone to stay silent because the truth is inconvenient or embarrassing. Nevertheless, I question the timing and the veracity of the statement.
It would explain a lot though…
IF true, maybe this is why Dede Warwick suffered terribly before finally dying. It would also explain the demons in Whitney’s life. Such a sad situation. But, why get paid to tell Whitney’s pain? Greed is a mf!
not surprising alot of the black women i console tell me about female family members molesting them at very young ages
Chile … ??
So this is how we are starting Thursday?
Okay … Chile …
The estate wants too start turning a profit. Its not really greed.
Harboring that kind of pain and shame can definitely lead to some of the self-destructive behaviors that Whitney displayed throughout her life. Her brothers have admitted to being abused as children. If it’s true about Whitney, I understand better why she did some of the things she did and why she was so open to taking Nick’s crazy ass in from his family. It may also explain why she always insisted on taking Bobbi Kris with her when she toured instead of leaving her at home.

Not THIS morning…after my motivational listening…I just can’t.
Rest, Whitey. Rest!
Why won’t they just let her rest in peace. Just peddling dirt and gossip, if they didn’t speak when she was alive, stfu now.
STOP IT! LMAOOOO Was this when she was singing “rolling in the deep”? LMAOOOOO
Can’t/won’t even read it.
YESSSS. SHEW
I can’t watch this documentary, i wouldn’t be any good afterwards and I don’t get all mushy over celebs, but Whitney was my favorite female singer. I couldn’t listen to secular music as a child and when i heard Greatest Love of All at a friend’s house, i was blown away. That woman had a gift from above. I hate she struggled the way she did in life. I hope she’s resting in peace ?.
About Dionne sister. Dee Dee. That is her above. I know. she looks just like Dionne
I love you. *snort. SHEWWWW
Damn! Wiki update folks dont waste not one damn it lick of time. They done changed Dee Dee’s page to say all of this and that she too was addicted to that narcotic. Im sorry Im in the minority. I believe this. Female abuse to other, younger female family members actually does happen more than folks realize. A social worker friend of mine (at the time a case was in our local news) said its the most swept under the rug too bc female abusers are often older family members… and since the female entity itself is supposed to be a nurturer it is just not discussed.
Why can’t we just let dead folk and their business stay dead.
Who capitalizes off of this? Not Whitney’s only child.
I’d think Sissy still getting Elvis and Aretha money …
This is sad and wrong and they can keep it
Dee Dee is not around to defend herself; she died in 2008 at age 63 following a long illness.
NARCOTICS. SHE DIED FROM NARCOTICS.
Death
Dee Dee struggled with narcotics addiction for many years and was in failing health for some time. Her sister was with her when she died on October 18, 2008 in a nursing home in Essex County, New Jersey, aged 63.
It this really happened, I would not be surprised at all. Back then things were swept under the rug.
Abuse should always be exposed. The damage it does for generations is demonic.
Lawd ham mercy. Ump! Rip Whitney. Wow ??
It’s too early roses. Back to sipping my coffee
I will also say that Drinkard/Warwick set of black and Native American genes is strong. AF. They ALL look alike. The resemblance of Dee Dee and Dionne is uncanny. They look like identical twins but are 5-6 years apart.
I don’t want/have the energy. I redacted my latter statement.
its draining. indeed
I’m with you sis…
Aint it! I thought that was Dionne…
I agree. It also explains a whole lot as to why your mom, dad, elders conducted themselves and raised their families certain ways. All this time you might think your daddy didnt love you and your sibs and was harsh and overprotective and comes to find out years later great uncle was touching them etc. this happened to a good friend of our family and this man is now a grandfather himself as of a month or two ago. So its generational indeed as you said. Its sad.
Uhm…yeah I cannot. Too early in morning for me on this one. Exits post… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3e898c91ec6a80674b9f720ac5443d00182c5f7fbb29e4977f47b222899e788d.gif
The story of my damn life.
The family cleared this movie so take it up with Cissy.
Black folks HATE when family business gets exposed. Another resason we can’t heal as a community.
You can’t heal what you don’t reveal.
I have to agree with you because I didn’t understand the whole Nick situation!
Her mother worked and toured a lot , and that alone will give kids abandonment issues!
As it does for latch-key kids or moms who work two or three jobs, and kids are left with babysitters, siblings and relatives to watch over them!
Cissy also didn’t play, by all accounts (Whitney’s), and this can cause kids to not tell out of fear.
I cannot today.
RIP Whitney.
Sadly, yes.
You NEVER know whats happening in families. I lived in a city where one of my affluent neighbors was having sex with ALL five of her sons!? no one knew it until one evening several police and govt cars pulled up and it was a BIG commotion and her sister was out there calling her nasty names. The sons were always so nice, well behaved and pleasant. You would have NEVER suspected it..smh
I think it was Lionel Ritchie who recently stated that Whitney Houston was FRAGILE, and Kevin Costner saying at her funeral how unsure or insecure she was while we thought or viewed her as having the total package, EVERYTHING, and a voice on a level all her own!
I won’t watch this documentary or any because I loved her as an artist, not just her music, but her realness!
The timing and motive is always under questioning because we really didn’t need to know this!
But if it is the truth, then be it!
I believe it mainly because the women in her life family wise was toxic to her. Be it with good or bad intentions. Speak on female abuse at anytime. RIP Nippy and see y’all next post.
so nippy got turned out by her cousin
Dead as hell
Chile I know a female that’s a huge pedophile …. sometimes women can be the worst
As long as the person is telling the truth and is not just looking for attention, I’m all for speaking the truth, so healing can begin. The black community (because I can’t relate to no other) covers up a lot of séxual abuse. Broken hearted children who turn into broken hearted adults, who are told to” just get over it”, seems to be the norm.
It probably did happen. A lot of things going on in families that are not discussed. I believe if Cissy did know she would be deny it likes she’s does.
wow…really?? Now is the time to spill this??? Poor woman has been dead 6 years…and now is the time to tell a very personal story that I’m sure Whitney did not want shared….and the accused is deceased as well?? These folks are reaching….reaching hard…I mean how many “movies” are they going to make about Whitney?? Shit….leave it alone….
Im still shocked at how her child died the same way she did
It seems completely plausible that Whitney’s troubles were in some part related to childhood sexual trauma. I hate to hear it was a family mrmber, and particularly Dee Dee — who was herself a tragic figure — but this unfortunate revelation provides some basis for why Whitney engaged in such self-destructive behavior. Secrets, shame and trauma can kill your soul. She didn’t have everything and just throw it away. She was in pain and torment, and wasnt able to deal with it openly, so she sought escape in drugs.
Smh at family secrets….yeah people need to be mindful that molesters come in both sexes
Whitney didn’t speak on it so idk if it’s true but sad if it did happen
I LOVE Whitney’s mother! She is NO NONSENSE & tells it like it really is. But she has secrets herself that ROCKED that family.
I can believe this. One of my sister’s told me that one of our aunts touched her. That aunt never touched me and from my understanding, never touched the other sister but I believe my sister. It explains a lot of her behavior.
With that said, the cycle has to stop somewhere. I found that either the sex?ally abused, are over protective of children (trying to prevent it from happening to another child) or they repeat what was done to them. No one really talks about the protectors though. They’re usually thrown in with the latter of the two, which is redicoulous.
???
All families hate for their dirt to come out
God bless you hun and everyone out there like you.
If this here isnt a sho’nuff WORD. It has to stop. Its so sad. Its ruining a lot of families. the whole hush nature of it. God bless your sister. And yes the ones who PROTECT. Lord this made me so sad. Im so sorry.
Smmfh….everything that looks good on the outside ain good in the inside.
Yall know as a whole that was not spoken of in some black home. You were to remain silent about situations like that,so um assuming that’s the reason Whitney refused to tell Cissy. Sh(it) like that suppose to be taken to ones grave. Its sad but true. Aunty really needed to keep her trap shut dueto the fact that whit can’t deny or comfirm this mess.
Nick was actually 18 & kicked out by his family before Whitney let him live with them. Smh.
Ok now we know. Now what?
lawd, these folk didn’t lift a finger to save her, and now they won’t let Nippy rest in peace… vultures!
Gossiping about the dead goes on in every family this is nothing new. Regular families just don’t go to the press/media.
Whitney was a VERY cute little girl. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/39f40fdc0f0860495dc702dc93c4e84c573246aabfddb517de80c65df50afecb.jpg
It’s the dirty little secret within the black community (families) and it has ruined many. We’re taught to “not snitch” no matter what. That “no snitching” has caused so much damage to children and has allowed only the “predator” to live a some what “normal” life. The child/victim is told to move on and not speak on it. It’s pathectic and sád as hêll. It also opens up the chance for more predator behavior, to accure, within the family. Smh.
But another thing I’ve noticed is how the protectors are attacked. It’s almost as if the family feels like, if they support the protector, it will give that person strength and they might expose, the family’s secrets. I know a lot of black sheep’s and that is their story. They’re not all bad and being the “black sheep” was by design. It’s to keep the family looking like they’re normal. Smh.
i believe it’s plausible, and might explain some other aspects of her life (NOT saying that every gay person was molested, and NOT saying that all gays are potential molesters), just applying it to THIS case. anyway, these family secrets are some b.s., IMO! today’s elderly & revered patriarch/matriarch may be yesterday’s tormentor/molester. i’m sorry, but fugg them, NOW.
that’s why i have so little sympathy for Bill Cosby. yes, he’s an old man NOW, but he was at the height of his career and at the height of his (alleged) predatory offenses when he was still relatively young, fit, rich, and influential. no one could touch him then, so when is the “right” time to make him accountable?
God bless the sister/aunt.
Those children are going to need SO much more than affluence to overcome that abomination, smh
I believe it. Whitney always had a sadness about her and of course her drug addiction. You can always trace the issue a person has back to childhood trauma. Cissy was a bad mother imo.
If this is true it explains so much as to why Whitney was how she was. Sad! RIP Whitney!!
lawd, don’t do this…
we gotta protect our babies yall… we HAVE to, smh
I wouldn’t go as far to say this was the cause of her drug problems… I think that’s what a lot of folks get into. Drugs are made easily available to them. So a celeb on/doing drugs is believable. But she was always rumored to have a thing for chicks… this explains why.
Cissy is a hot mess. There’s a reason Whitney never told her. If you can’t even go to your mother then who can you turn to?
you gonna turn her in?
i’m torn because i agree with you in THIS CASE, because she’s gone now as is her accused molester. but then, if the story helps even ONE child find their voice to tell someone NOW, that’s one less child being victimized. this is just a fugg’d situation all the way around… my heart breaks, smh
hate you…. for this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e86501847072dcba783eea0bbb2c002d3ed3d888581b08556155899f7897582f.gif
smh… it’s a pickle
Child molestation is rampant in the black community pre teen boys molesting there sisters and steps daddies going up in step daughters uncles screwing the boys and girls its all awful and its all swept under the rug because black people dont want to send nobody to the white man jails
I hope Dee Dee was confronted about this before she died.
Nothing shocks me anymore about the life of Whitney. I just wonder when people are going to start calling out her mom for letting Whitney be thrown to wolves.
drugs and depression is a bad combination add an enabler and what happen to her is common
I see you ain’t sugar coating. I wonder if anyone will ever pull back the curtains on this ‘matriarch.’
Right! It always seems things “come out” after the person isn’t around to speak on the subject. I can’t comment one way or the other.
she was so beautiful :'(
Agreed. People don’t just completely self destruct with no basis. Whitney Houston was abused on many levels and she was in a lot of pain. She did drugs from a young age to self medicate and died self medicating. Money can provide comfort, but money does not heal broken spirits.
RIP Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown
But another thing I’ve noticed is how the protectors are attacked.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS!!!!!!
Neither are here to say one way or the other if this is true….WHY bring it up NOW? What value does this bring to Whitney’s legacy? To the “Long time” assisstant making these claims…Bye Felicia.
THIS!! I can’t even tell you how real this is.
Chile that bytch is fried…. Bytch came for me… And has lost it all…. Tried it chile again.. Fugg these laws down here broad broke sacred laws with me she is finished family too. …. Hence why she has lost everything … And will never have shyt for eternity … That one will never have access to a child going forward . Not a one.. I ain’t got time for these fake laws down here … I’m sacred… She tried it in other words. . Didn’t need da police… Got a better squad….
Her image was tarnished while alive and she tried to get back on track, these people are lower than frog shit in swamp.
That’s not tue, all familes are trash.
I’m sure.
Yes!!! Molestation is why many, I’m not saying ALL individuals who are gay, bi- sexual , etc are confused with their sexuality.. that confusion can also lead to self destruction such as drinking, drugs or promiscuous behaviors. Keep in mind, it’s all a facade and a mask to try and cover up that pain. So many people like to tell them to just get over it but what they do not understand is that that type of pain is embedded into your spirit, It’s not at the surface. So you have to dig down spiritually and that starts with recognizing what has happened to you is not your fault and understanding that even if you enjoyed the feeling at the time it is still not your fault and you must forgive yourself. The hardest thing you’re going to have to do is face the demons head on with no alcohol or drugs. Look yourself in the mirror and realize you are not what has happened to you, it has stolen your happiness
and how to experience a real genuine relationship without running away in fear of being hurt, always questioning if you’re worthy of love or good enough because remember the act of molestation has embedded into you soul and mind that you are not worthy of real love, just worthy of being used and abused. But God!!! I declare that your pain and suffering ends today. Take it to God, I am not saying that counseling does not work but take it to God and ask him to cleanse you and to cleanse your spirit of any unclean spirits that has penetrated your body during the molestation. Tell him to free you and break all generational curses ask him to free your mind body and spirit. I am not saying that church is not important however make this a one-on-one time with just you and God. If you do not know how to go to him, go to a dark room alone with no one else around you and just cry out. Just cry until your spirit feels empty, talk to him.. you don’t have to tell him what happened to u because he already knows. Just let him know that you are TIRED, lost and confused and want to be free and Ask to remove demonic spirits and generational curses that entered your body during the molestation. During this time you need to sustain from sex b-c soul ties are extremely difficult to break you are carrying soul ties from the person who molested you and everyone who have ever molested them and that can be many many many people. that’s why so many people are walking around and so many people see them as crazy but the truth is we have all kind of different spirits and souls living within us and we all need to do spiritual and soul ties cleaning to free ourselves. Google soul ties if you have never heard of them. Life is not easy but we all must realize that we all are fighting some kind of battle so we need to stop judging people and helping each other instead. God bless you guys. I hope this helps at least one soul #ButGod
she didn’t know?! wow, those spirits usually ‘recognize’ the one NOT to try, smh
LMAO!

You know what I say about rich people–they have enough money to kill themselves.
She was actually knows how strong I am… Actually it’s the opposite with these. Types… They try to steal your energy if they know what you harbor she has done black magic everything you can think of to my family … Long story short … Ima G …. Lost everything and is banned from going anywhere near anyone with a soul… Especially children …. I hear that one keeps getting locked up too… Doesn’t matter now that will remain on lock… Surrounded by what she creates demons… SMH .
Damn, damn,damn!!!
Pat Houston is the debil.
Right…and now, anyone can say anything at this point, especially money hungry family members. I can’t say if she was molested or not but the subject is an important one. Sexual abuse in our community is common and something that is kept quiet about.
In this case, it always seems odd to me when family members come out with their account of what happened…true or not? I dunno. If they are lying about something like this then shame on them. Karma is a b*tch.
yeah, i guess when you talk about spiritual warfare they actually will try it when they sense that one’s light is stronger than their black magic. you are a G Jenie. keep standing strong and keep walking in the light. *hugs*
Spill the tea.
Do tell us about Dee Dee.
Before this revelation I didn’t know she existed.
you just know that once Miss Cissy goes on to glory, that money is gonna default to Pat “Undertaker” Houston and her fam, smh
Any black magic on me will fail dis how I know who doing it in industry and I’m attacked daily…. Very true…. But also slay daily and help and warn others … These types love to rape children… I love children .. And for that she is fawked ….
I agree but the accused isn’t here to defend herself and Whitney isn’t here to verify it.
We only have Pat Houston’s word and we know what kind of devil she is.
However it would explain why Whitney was never able to kick her drug habit.
Its always amazing to find out that this family had and has so many people in it with the gift to sing and yet we don’t know much about it outside of the ones who made it. Personally, I always wondered if it was possible if Whitney had been violated in some way as a child to explain why she struggled so much in life.
Is there any money left?
The way they were acting after Whitney died–trying to get BK her own reality show so they could keep the gravy train going.
girl what you say ain’t nothing but the truth. sad part, when you talk about the “industry” this ain’t nothing new. ‘old’ hollywood (yt folk) been participating in this mess, yet they’re still idolized by the yt masses (same as yt evangelicals still supporting Trump, even though he’s unnaturally attracted to his own daughter, and sleeping w/whores). now we’ve bought into it and participating in the same rituals and abuses, smh.
i actually hope there isn’t any left, but who knows the actual state of Whitney’s estate, smh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9c5524b933f3a29872256af8b9d30b4c9ec5914b980fdc0a0817cbbe688aa153.gif
I understand what you are saying but this is what we deal with because people are shamed & attacked for coming forward.
Could very well be true. Strange stuff can go on in families….
I am going to remember Dee Dee for her 1963 hit “You’re No Good” since the family has chosen not to let her rest in peace. Folks will learn the hard way not to speak ill of the dead.
…destruction such as drinking, drugs or promiscuous behaviors… almost all of the people on My 600 Pound Life have childhood molestation issues.
@Real Talk this right here is real talk??????
I hope folks don’t skip over this post and say it’s to long to read. This is good stuff. Take it to God folks!!
As Cissy got older she start appearing to be a mean old ass lady… When she left out Robyn in the book it was obviously it wasn’t a tell all and had to be hiding much more…
Yup!! That too…addictive behaviors.. i love that show
Thanks love! Many people do skip over long post but when God speaks, i just type so i believe whoever he needs to read it will. Thanks doll?
I cannot. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ffb1413141046247af40d3d2046ec1543cade4ecce0d284ceeb310d42dde31b1.gif
Let’s not forget another often overlooked issue presented here female sexual abusers.
So everyone who dies has “some type” of “gay experience” at some point in their lives??? Miss me ok
Child molestation is also heavily covered in the Catholic community. What’s the nationality of the majority of those priests? That gets swept under the rug as well and they get transferred to other churches to continue molesting children (mostly boys). Let’s not pretend this only happens in the black community. It happens everywhere.
and thats why its covered up yall like to say its only white folks that do it..and tell me this how does white folks being molesters help black people you think that takes the shame off black folks doing it or its ok cause whites do it too..you need your head checked
Nowhere in my comment did I say it’s “only” white people that are molesting children. Priests come in all colors/nationalities, but in the USA a lot of them just so happen to be white. My comment wasn’t meant to explain how white molesters help take the shame off black people. It was meant to shed light that child molestation does not only happen in the black community, which you already knew what I meant when I made my initial comment. You just like to come in here everyday and try to turn everything into a race issue. You know the majority of the people who come in here to comment are POC, so instead of being rational you seem to enjoy stirring things up. Trying to ruin people’s moods, keep the race war going. How’s that working out for you so far?
I don’t feel sorry for Bill either! I WAS ATTACKED FOR SAYING A PREDATOR IS A PREDATOR SO WHY DOES HE GET A PASS?!!! Molestation is a serious habitual problem and yes we are too familiar with the fact that too many hurtful secrets are kept. I say that many would be shocked and appalled if ALL the secrets came out. I truly believe there are more predators than people are willing to believe. PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH THIS FOR YEARS AND WILL FOR YEARS TO COME!!!!!!!
This is why my mom never let me spend the night at anybody’s house, not even family. I had a grandpa (my dad’s dad, passed a couple of years ago) who used to molest his oldest daughter (my dad’s full blooded older sister) from when she was a child till her adult years. She’s a sweetheart but has some mental issues. My mom was extremely protective of me and my brothers. I didn’t understand it then but once I became an adult, I did. Fully.
ruin peoples mood? how can i do that? i am just a poster who is a person of color posting my opinions
There was money left. BK’s part actually went to Bobby’s Brown, and he started a foundation in BK’s name to help victims of domestic violence.
I know Pat is heated.
and in my statement where did i say it only happen with blacks i dont give a damn what happen with white folks it has nothing to do with me
I’m super protective of children. I feel everything they go through. My heart breaks for them. I thought I was gonna snap when my sister in law told my niece to shut up and slapped her. I literally thought I was going to kill my sis in law.
I tend to agree. I recall seeing Iyanla ask several gay men how many of them were molested as a child and all were. I also saw the same on another talk show.
” alot of the black women i console”
just curious why you console women? you mean as a boyfriend or is it your profession?
I WAS ATTACKED FOR SAYING A PREDATOR IS A PREDATOR SO WHY DOES HE GET A PASS?!!
________________________
personally, i see no problem with your statement or your stance. still, even if i disagreed, that wouldn’t make you wrong. my opinion weighs not an ounce more than yours, LOL! and i do get it when people mention his legacy, but as i said, if HE cared as much about his legacy as some of his fans do, maybe he should have conducted himself differently. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/68bc52b2a4f54f3dc0d4dea29ec0c12c203c19b65d4d18beb2fbbd13d0be6a55.gif
lets say both
Sad thing is some people had it happened to them so young that they do not even remember it. Ex: A 2 year old you have no memory of the molestation, however the spirit still have entered their body
Far too often that is the truth.
Amen.
truth is truth.
…ok..lol
Dee Dee is not at peace if she did what she is accused of. I hope it’s not true.
Hope this is NOT true
If true, in essence she raped Whitney, and psychologically destroyed her innocence, which is why she struggled with many issues including her morality/religion, sexuality, self esteem and family boundaries. What her own biological aunt did was one of the worst acts of betrayal.
Very long winded, but worth reading. ? Thanks!
Lol!!!! Your very welcome!
I don’t know about the spirit but I’m speaking of more along the lines of the feeling. It is possible to have a climax while being molested or raped (not at the age of 2- of course). This adds to the guilt that many have said they feel…but it is involuntary. I have read where a few gay men said that they enjoyed the sensation of anal penetration and preferred it over being with a woman. Now is this because of feeling it at such a young age while being molested? Maybe.
So very true! I have gay friends and i heard many say as well that a women could not measure up. It is deep!! We ALL remember our first sexual experience and if your a child during that time, that is what your mind grows and develop around. A sense of normalcy so to speak even though its far from normal. Most molesters have been molested. Generational curses are real and that is why most times it is a family member who did the molesting. I have a friend, beautiful girl who is only attracted to females. She told me that her uncle would make her perform oral sex on her female cousin and they were both only 8. So again the first experience is what followed…another topic but ladies STOP bringing all kind of men around your kids…boys included!!!
To imagine that she was unsure and insecure of herself with her level of talent is mind boggling
People make me sick.
Molestation pops up again… Not shocking.
Cousin, not Aunt.
It doesnt help that nobody in her family and around her really cared about her.
Well, she was doing the kind of drugs that poor people have access to as well. So…………….
I was talking about quantity not quality plus she didn’t have to commit any criminal acts to get her fix.
don’t understand WHY these show business parents were to cheap to have protective nannies or just take the kids with them to be watched while they were performing and at practice.
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw took all their kids with them and PAID for nannies and teachers to go on the road with them for their three girls and others do it also. have read about this subject matter to many times with these kids being all willy nilly left with whom ever and the kids being molested.
singer Pink takes her babies with her and her hubby now travels with them so they are together as a family unit where BOTH parents have their eyes on them and not some others where things can go very very wrong.
I saw her in an interview with Ed Gordon on BET, years ago, and she said, “this is what I do, but it’s not who I am.” And, how she didn’t want to be a pop star, but was molded into something that wasn’t herself! (Clive, Arista)
She just grew up with a mom who was a professional singer, who pushed her and demanded her to be a great singer, apparently it was second nature!
Whitney didn’t get to be the superstar like Queen Latifah, who seems to always control her image, and what she projects, both Newark girls, a very down to earth place, around the way, IMO!
Childhood violations and then a being in a commodity business (entertainment), out of control, she couldn’t cope!
It was the 1960s and her mom wasn’t Aretha Franklin or Gladys Knight, so family were the babysitters or nannies, grandmas, relatives, close friends!
This kind of abuse wasn’t openly talked about, even tho, it’s been going on since forever!
You never know who might hurt your kids, even professional nannies, daycares, teachers, doctors, family members, siblings, etc. do it, even if you’re not on the road or a stay-at-home mom!
Cindy Crawford had very scary nanny experience!
