I recently listened to one of Whitney music, the album, I Look to you, the song, Like I never left. That song is surely about her relationship with Robyn and the regret about her decision to turn her back on their relationship.
I read the book within 24 hours..it was a good read! It was nice to see what Whitney was like before the fame. I admire Robin for telling the truth about Whitney's drug use, for me if gives me a better understanding as to why she had such a difficult time beating the drugs. Poor Whitney had a lot on her..too much for anyone to bear. Plus having to deal with her own insecurities, and self esteem issues. It seems to me that Robin and Silvia was the only ones that truly had her back. No one else including Bobby, which to this day claims to love her so much will really tell the truth about her drug use, and why she struggled so much. Thank- you Robin for this story..very well and tastefully done!
This was one of the best interviews that I have seen Robyn Crawford do about the book. Much of the time, Ms. Chow allowed Crawford to speak her truth without interruption. It was simply Crawford telling her story...
Although the interviewer was a little nervous at times, she did something that few interviewers before her had done... she gave Robyn the space to talk and for us to listen. A big thumbs up from me for doing that. I’d become frustrated in previous interviews with the constant interruptions and talking over Robyn when she was trying to convey the truth of her experience with Whitney. This is a lovely interview because that didn’t happen. My only gripe is that it wasn’t long enough, I could sit and listen to Robyn talk all day, she’s that interesting :-)
I know I’m late but I just discovered the book as well as these Interviews and by far this is the best one I’ve seen because the interviewer gave her the moments to discuss what she was feeling as well as going deeper into everything she wanted to share. Nothing about this was forced! I also feel the exact same way! I could hear her stories about their friendship as well as her life now all day! The way her mind is wired is so intriguing. How she appreciates the way of friendship is so beautiful and her consistency towards their friendship and love platonically for Whitney you can hear how she describes it ran so deep. If you haven’t saw the Wendy Williams one don’t even BOTHER it’s so terrible the amount of times Robyn is Interrupted by that nosey woman!! It was like she didn’t even genuinely care about her nor what she brought to the table just to get some “tea” from her life about Whitney and their “secret romance” not even understanding that it was more than just that. I really would want to meet Mrs.Robyn one day and hear more of her stories for myself and document it for myself because I grew up on Whitney Houston and have never ever got to see her live so when she passed it devastated me. So to be able to interview someone who was so dear and special to her throughout her vast majority of her life is someone I would love to meet. So I pray one day I will be able to meet Robyn Crawford. Lol sorry this was so long but I just had to speak it into existence 😭
Rachael Mims I stopped watching the Wendy Williams interview because of how hard Wendy was trying to steer it in a salacious direction. I think Robyn only agreed to do it because she wanted the opportunity to humanise Whitney, to make a point that Whitney wasn’t just fodder for tabloid gossip (and Wendy participated in that dehumanising of Whitney a lot), but was a woman capable of deep love, and she was hurting, she was in pain. But no, even during that interview Wendy Williams tried to cheapen Whitney. Unpleasant woman she is.
I liked the way Robyn responded to that first question. WH's sexuality was speculative and no one really knows whether she was gay, straight or bi and quite frankly none of this matters because she's gone. RC indeed was a good friend and this comes across in all of her interviews.
Exactly, Whitney seems to have responded to her feelings. Does that mean a label should be slapped on her? She never spoke about her sexuality publicly. Obviously she and Robyn had something special for a time.
Wow! Beautiful Robyn Crawford i thank You so much for al You are doing!!! I am happy for you that your life is living in peace and happiness. Your Love and support for Whitney Elizabeth Houston is endless... And i Love You for it💜💜💜💜 Your Love for your brother, sister and your mother Janet wow! Thank You for sharing your story and for your book! 😘
Robyn, you are truly an amazing woman. Whitney was so blessed to have known and been friends with such a loyal person. Continue to hold your head high. If we could all be so fortunate to have a friend like you in our lives... stay strong and God bless you.
...man I wish Whit was still with us, especially after hearing Robyn. And what hurts is to even hear Bobby say, Whitney would probably still be here if Robyn was in her life today ....miss you Nippy, but Robyn has be making you proud. I even had to repent because I was thinking Robyn was just another one coming out of the woodwork, but she has really done well by Whitney I truly believe! All the best to you Robyn!
Whitney was extremely evolved at a young age to say love me unconditionally, she must have been an old soul. Just can’t understand how she ended up with Bobby Brown. Seemed worlds apart.
Whitney was in a hurry to get married & have a baby. She had tried to get Eddie Murphy to act right, but he wasn't ready for her.....Bobby was the backup....and she settled. She was 29 when she married him....wanted to have a baby by 30. Although Bobby was much younger, he treated Whitney like his queen, and showed her a lot of love, plus allowed her to be herself. Little did she know his ways would change as his world in the music industry started fading.....& hers elevated....with also the success of making a huge movie....the Bodyguard. That is when the shit hit the fan....and started going downhill....which was early in their marriage. Bobby was the type that needed all the attention to be on him. But when he became a plus one, on the arms of the great Whitney Houston, he couldn't handle that. He was too immature....with lots of low self-esteem and insecurity! Totally opposite than Robyn, who was really Whitney's true love. Crazy how that all panned out for poor Whit.....just because, during that time, she couldn't be herself and live her life for how she wanted. So sad!
Because she liked being happy and adventurous and party all the time. And Bobby somehow led her to believe that he wanted to settle down too, which I think was just Bobby wanting her for life but really not understanding the commitment of being with one person forever and growing with them. Whitney was not immature. She was very private about her feelings but if you watch all her interviews. She was always intuitive and empathetic.
Robyn is my favorite person to talk about Whitney because she shares facets of Whitney in such a gracious way that no one else does. Imagine how great life would be if we all could have a friend beside our LORD JESUS that we could be naked and honest about who we are with and they would love you anyway. That would be priceless!!!
Only 19 mins in and already got much respect for Robyn. .. kinda wish it was now and to maybe they could've been together happy openly out and maybe Whitney would still be here xx
There were numerous beautiful moments throughout this video, but the moment at @1:13:34 is particularly full of love...when the African-American version of the Happy Birthday song is sang! It shows soulful honor, genuine love, and respect to Robyn...for her giving so much of that to Whitney! A Joy-inducing, meaningful interview all around.
THANK YOU Robyn for sharing Whitney with us in your wonderful book! 👏👏👏❤❤❤ You definitely REPRESENTED her well, she would be so proud of you for LOVE AND THOUGHTFUL CARE in which you wrote your book! ❤❤❤
It's strange i was looking for that book to know more about whitney's life...trying to understand her more...but now i feel that i hope to learn more about robin's life in this book...
Robyn is the only one who seem to have suffered a huge sense of loss with Whitney's death. I didn't get that emotion from either her family or ex-husband. Whitney knew what she wanted to do with her talent from the get go but she wasn't prepared for what was going to be thrown at her. She wasn't prepared for the control from her label, countless of rumours, bad marriage and public ridicule. All those obstacles thrown at her made her forget her true path and led to her fall. The Houston's and Bobby really mishandled Whitney.
Especially in that reality show. Aunt Pat and Gary both seemed unbothered with her passing. They even said that it was hard to make BK happy whereas her mother had just passed....
Thank you v much Robyn for sharing your story ... I understand the type of innocent young love you had with Whitney...there is nothing like that in the world and those who experience it have a life long gift (that almost always comes with pain ... but it’s worth it!!)
❤❤❤this is a very beautiful sister with beautiful soul and a very good friend. Her journey has been tough but thank God her story has been told so beautifully Has been very therapeutic for her and most people. She has been very respectful and truthful to Whitney's and her legacy whom we all love . ❤😊
Robyn I absolutely love the book ...well done to you...and all the respect that you give to Whitney and her family ...because I know that you could have been much less Discreet and gentle about others. Can you please write and book 2 Whitney book going into a little more detail about this amazing rise of your dreams and goals...and living experiences...I love the story behind some of the songs and the recording atmosphere...the Jewlery shop with Silvia was lovely too.
ever since I read the book, their story won't let me go. I am just wondering if Whitney truly loved Robyn back. Their relationship seemed out of balance. I love me some Whitney, but I cannot stand the thought of her not being true to Robyn.
I have had the same thought even before reading the book and it was confirmed when I did eventually read the book- I think Robyn loved Whitney a lot more than Whitney loved Robyn. They way that Whitney treated Robyn was not always nice either. Sad.
55:53 holy crap shut up and stop making it all about you. Robyn’s face says it all. The host should have stepped in and shut her up. She literally talked about herself for three minutes.
I somehow hope someday to see Robyn and Bobby the two humans that Whitney love in her life, could have an interview together and talk about their young years. I know Whitney would love to see this scene in the heaven.
Robyn it's a true friend for the late whitney Houston and if Robyn was around her life my be whitney will be here today but her brother helped drugs 1988 whith his later sister yousing her fame soo I blaming her family's it's soo sad how it end her life and her only child
I think I will always love you song, was dedicated to Robyn from her to her...check verse 3 in a song...I think she was just dedicating that verse to her, Dolly Parton's song was best for both of them shame, Whitney and Robyn 💖💖
I think Whitney loved Robyn like a friend / sister ..Robyn LOVE LOVED Whitney ..also keep in mind the times it was frowned upon back then to be homosexual so maybe that played a roll into why Whitney didn’t want to be with Robyn romantically
Stop saying that Whitney was lesbian or she had a secret relationship with Robyn!!!! It's something that happened when they were young, it's like an experience. After Whitney stop the relationship giving a bible to Robyn and told her that they don't have to be PHYSICAL ANYMORE!! So what don't you understand?????
I am a huge Whitney Houston Fan after her death I read all the books! Bobby Brown Cissa Houston and many movies. Pat book is 100 percent truth. She loved Whitney if the family would let Nippy be Whitney I believe she would be alive! She wants the fans to know the truth!
I think Whitney did call her prior to her death, Robin did not answer, Robin listened to her message. Said she had a certain tone in her voice; but she never called her back. Seems she’s dealing with guilt. I know they HAD a relationship, WEH addiction was so severe it was above anyone in her life. 🕊...rip....WEH BKB🕊...
@@may5588 I sometimes wonder perhaps Whitney wanted to be close to her so bad but couldnt have it and drugs were an alternative to hide that. How did Whitney survive all those years without person she had trusted so much. I sometimes couldnt sleep well if I had a fight with my good friends, and they were not just friends, they were soulmates, best friends, etc.
I met the two of them at a recording studio. She was very domineering possessive and jealous about Whitney. The drugs were flowing. She told me not to look at or talk to Whitney in a frightening tone. She said she was watching me. I was there working on the recording studio w my husband Kashif knew I sang so he asked me to sing backups on a test recording . I wonder what the producer Kashif had to say. About a Robyn
Because most people who have met Robyn say that she was a very calm energy, including producer Narada m Walden (how will I know, I wanna dance with somebody)
@@Ella-nj7my Whitney was chain smoking and I believe she did a line of coke off a stool Robyn put there. Kashif said Robyn was the driver so I was surprised to see her block me going into the sound room with Whitney and threaten me. Not to look or talk to her. Yikes! I was told Robyn didn’t like other woman getting close to Whitney. Whitney smoked did a line but when she had to sing it was beautiful. I remember thinking what a shame she is doing all that to herself. Kashif was a very spiritual guy with crystals, etc. hoped he was a good influence. Wish I got a copy of that track lol
@@Ella-nj7my I can only tell you my experience. I was there w my husband working on the studio. And was glad to get away from Robyn after I helped out. I had a lot to do. I wasn’t there for the whole session. I’ve been around a lot of famous people in music. Very interesting how powerful yet vulnerable fame makes you. I wouldn’t want it.
@@JnTmarie oh wow, that sounds quite scary. I think the drugs negatively influenced them and their attitudes, they could have both been addicted at that point, accounting for erratic behaviour. I know she worked with kashif earlier in her career, what year was this? Thank you for sharing your experience by the way! It’s very interesting to hear, but also saddening that they were doing drugs like that. Although I think they loved each other, they seemed to have a possessive/jealous relationship
Why didn’t the good friend ever turn the illegal drug use to Clive Davis ? Who had medicine for her mom but no early intervention for Whitney as well.. she states cocaine use was as teens? Why never be a true help to prevent addiction prior to the hit records and jet setting ? Lisa put her through therapy but Robyn didn’t help her “friend” to therapy.. I wish Robyn the best but I wish she would have been loyal to the letter in Esquire.. leave Whitney out of the gay agenda .. shame
Robyn did try her best to help Whitney with the drug use ...telling her parents several times and Clive later on...Whitney did have at least 2 interventions. Her dad let her skip going to a very good repeatable low profile clinic when all the papers were signed and everything was ready to go...she got very close with that high jacked intervention.hope it helps you with the story details so far.
Velvet doesn’t fit the timeline .. 14 year old and she admitted she was as Whitney we’re using too much cocaine.. also what is the legal age for minors using drugs .. hey Nip and Krissi are resting .. I hate books that never got approval so who really knows what’s true?
Which proceeds? The money being made by her family members' individual books? The money being made by her family exploiting her in a hologram tour? The money being made from music sales? The money being made by that snake sister-in-law who immediately made sure to be appointed the Trustee of her Estate (even though Whitney named others)? STFU! Robyn was a true friend and Whitney KNEW IT! GTFOH
Bo answer the direct question Yes.? She pocketed by exploiting or NO all profits went to established philanthropy, some of which she is quite familiar of.. .. she is no different than those you mentioned...charity starts at home!
Minha Diva sempre será Diva. Fez opção pelas drogas e por um homem que não a amava como ela o amava.Nao amou Robyn quem verdadeiramente lhe tinha amor. Uma combinação mortal de família ambiciosa, egoísta, pessoas oportunistas, drogas e sexo descontrolado com seu ,infelizmente, marido.
What's the deal with not saying that she had a love affair with her? It seems like everyone is tiptoeing around the sexual affair. Americans are (still) ridiculously prude. It is cringeworthy.
rubek bruvi the brother exposed it after Whitney’s death a few yrs ago.....and Whitney did disclose the molestation by Dione Warwick’s sister ... to at least 3 people ...pat.Mary her assistant and I think her make up artist.one of the brothers was left alone or has not spoken up as far. Unfortunately the sexual abuse went on for years.....while cissy was away on tour....I believe this was one of the main reasons behind her drug use and addiction.
Loving unconditionally can also be applied to lesbians to love Whitney unconditionally that she was not Gay... how many times do 16 year olds experiment?? .. Gay men and women have experiences with Heteros all the tine before deciding to be gay .. so why is it y’all won’t let her be ? Let her Rest In Peace.. she didn’t want to be a lesbian so love her unconditionally.. stop making her out to be closeted or confused .. as Robyn said.. Whitney knew what she wanted and she didn’t want Robyn as a love interest/lesbian/ girlfriend.. this is disturbing that you all are disrespectful to her privacy... Had Robyn been sexual with a 16 year old boy we would not be approving it at all but gays want to endorse and recruit .. she was 16!!! Too young for that experience with an adult.
Robyn & Whitney ua-cam.com/video/XVygiJ4sqmU/v-deo.html, the video would contradict your personal take & assumption. It is not so much of dragging ppl to be gay/lgbtq, we just tried to see the truth burried within Whitney's life & death. What was the cause? Bobby Brown clearly was not and never the love of her life. Robyn&Whitney was an open secret back in the days, now it has been revealed, it all make sense. Ps. Bobby Brown outed Whitney way earlier than Robyn's book.
Kimya Norene Bobby said she was bisexual shit everybody said it you just don’t won’t to amid it. What if she liked men and woman you don’t know how she feel about both
Chim 369 y’all so insecure and far reaching. Whitney didn’t lie.. she said MULTIPLE times gay she is not.. anybody can claim anything.. stop recruiting on b s .. money grubbers
Robyn has nothing but love for Whitney. This story needed to be shared.
I recently listened to one of Whitney music, the album, I Look to you, the song, Like I never left. That song is surely about her relationship with Robyn and the regret about her decision to turn her back on their relationship.
@@Marleemassand worth it, I got you, a song for you. Her last album is basically a big “I’m sorry baby”
Robyn is the definition of a true friend. Just a rare find in this world.
My friends answer when I call, No matter who they are with, black or white!
I read the book within 24 hours..it was a good read! It was nice to see what Whitney was like before the fame.

Thank- you Robin for this story..very well and tastefully done!
I read the book twice!!!
The letter she wrote to the newspaper after Whitneys death was beautiful...its no wonder her book is so good.
@@Deeonya12 bout to read it again!
Whitney should be in the rock and roll hall of fame, hope she gets there.
Greatest singer of all time.
I think they heard you because I heard that she is going into the rock n roll hall of fame.
She got it💕
@@ralex3697 she has her own wax museum
I love when Robyn gets emotional about talking about her best friend and her wife and family it just shows how much you really cares
Her story is so beautiful . The best version of a Whitney story I’ve ever heard in the years since she passed .
I agree.
Its always a pleasure to hear Robin she represents Whitney's legacy with class and decency. A true friend indeed is difficult to find.
This was one of the best interviews that I have seen Robyn Crawford do about the book. Much of the time, Ms. Chow allowed Crawford to speak her truth without interruption. It was simply Crawford telling her story...

You might not know it but you DEFINITELY hit the nail on the head...Wendy Williams was a interview where I could see there was a negative agenda

Your Love and support for Whitney Elizabeth Houston is endless... And i Love You for it💜💜💜💜 Your Love for your brother, sister and your mother Janet wow! Thank You for sharing your story and for your book! 😘

Robyn looks so good here! She looks so relaxed!
Wow! Robyn is insanely beautiful, imagine those young age of hers with Whitney. Her eyes, the eyebrows. No wonder Whitney Houston couldn't let her go.
...man I wish Whit was still with us, especially after hearing Robyn. And what hurts is to even hear Bobby say, Whitney would probably still be here if Robyn was in her life today ....miss you Nippy, but Robyn has be making you proud.

Whitney was extremely evolved at a young age to say love me unconditionally, she must have been an old soul.
Just can’t understand how she ended up with Bobby Brown. Seemed worlds apart.
Bc she was immature in many ways also. Charm plus good sex can blind a person who is immature and insécure
Robin Alexander she said on Oprah, his amazing energy. She just loved how being with Bobby and his energy made her feel.
Whitney was in a hurry to get married & have a baby. She had tried to get Eddie Murphy to act right, but he wasn't ready for her.....Bobby was the backup....and she settled. She was 29 when she married him....wanted to have a baby by 30. Although Bobby was much younger, he treated Whitney like his queen, and showed her a lot of love, plus allowed her to be herself. Little did she know his ways would change as his world in the music industry started fading.....& hers elevated....with also the success of making a huge movie....the Bodyguard. That is when the shit hit the fan....and started going downhill....which was early in their marriage. Bobby was the type that needed all the attention to be on him. But when he became a plus one, on the arms of the great Whitney Houston, he couldn't handle that. He was too immature....with lots of low self-esteem and insecurity! Totally opposite than Robyn, who was really Whitney's true love. Crazy how that all panned out for poor Whit.....just because, during that time, she couldn't be herself and live her life for how she wanted. So sad!
Because she liked being happy and adventurous and party all the time. And Bobby somehow led her to believe that he wanted to settle down too, which I think was just Bobby wanting her for life but really not understanding the commitment of being with one person forever and growing with them. Whitney was not immature. She was very private about her feelings but if you watch all her interviews. She was always intuitive and empathetic.

THANK YOU Robyn for sharing Whitney with us in your wonderful book! 👏👏👏❤❤❤ You definitely REPRESENTED her well, she would be so proud of you for LOVE AND THOUGHTFUL CARE in which you wrote your book! ❤❤❤
Robyn would be a great humanitarian, she is amazing.
She should run for president.
I don't think she would like the chaos and the drama of running the country it seems like a place with no peace
19:33, I see tears in Robyn's eyes...
i hear tears in her voice!
I was SO excited to read this book!! Thank you Robin for sharing your story.
It's even better in audio, because you can feel Robyn's emotions....the ups & downs.....highs & lows!
I must get this book and read it from cover to cover. Friendship whatever person needs in there life while if u are young or old
Consuelo Smith it was good
SO much genuine love towards Robyn from everyone there! 💖✨
Love you, Rob! ♥️
True Love is endless 💖 and thats all what matters..........

U Go Girl Robyn Keep UR Head Up Despite Losing Not Only UR Brother Mother But More Than Anyone Whitney Elizabeth Houston AKA Nippy
Clearly Robyn is sad Whitney is gone, she has moved on quite well and forged a great life for herself
Thank you v much Robyn for sharing your story ... I understand the type of innocent young love you had with Whitney...there is nothing like that in the world and those who experience it have a life long gift (that almost always comes with pain ... but it’s worth it!!)
Robyn ur a beautiful soul too live many more years lol
Love hearing her talk.
Robyn and Sylvia are most credible people to speak out. Whitney's family can fly a kite.
It’s Ok 👌 To Cry 😭 When Talking About Whitney Elizabeth Houston AKA Nippy
❤❤❤this is a very beautiful sister with beautiful soul and a very good friend. Her journey has been tough but thank God her story has been told so beautifully
Has been very therapeutic for her and most people. She has been very respectful and truthful to Whitney's and her legacy whom
we all love . ❤😊
I have wondered the same thing!!! What would it be like if people leave other people alone.
I think Robin was in love with Whitney and it became hard for her to see her with Bobby you can tell she was head over heels for her
Simply said-Robyn Crawford is a fabulous woman!
Robyn she loves you. Thanks for your story and support for nippy Houston
Robyn I absolutely love the book ...well done to you...and all the respect that you give to Whitney and her family ...because I know that you could have been much less Discreet and gentle about others.
Can you please write and book 2 Whitney book going into a little more detail about this amazing rise of your dreams and goals...and living experiences...I love the story behind some of the songs and the recording atmosphere...the Jewlery shop with Silvia was lovely too.
This woman is a diamond

Beverley Nkgodi I think that Whitney loved Robyn only like a friend, like a sister and not how Robyn loved Whitney. It's happen sometime
N We will Always Love Ms. Robyn D. Crawford😀👍💜….
Loyal friends are rare today ! She is a real friend!
Class just pure class. All her family did was just let her down
This is my first time watching this. I’ve wondered as of late if Whitney knew who Teresa Graves was. Robyn mentioning her name tells me a lot
I think if Whitney would have stayed with Robin we would have our Whitney today
Robyn is a true Rock Star, herself. I'm happy she survived Whitney Houston
What do you mean survived Whitney Houston 🤨
25:00 I agree. Whitney could be hoarse on all songs but anytime she sang gospel, she sounded soulful and deep and just amazing
55:53 holy crap shut up and stop making it all about you. Robyn’s face says it all. The host should have stepped in and shut her up. She literally talked about herself for three minutes.
Thats the vibe i got lml
I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED AND THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE IF WHITNEY WERE ALIVE HER AND ROBYN WOULD BE MARRIED
I feel you Robyn
Very good interview, Robyn speaks very well, makes you feel like you were there during that time.
Robin. Your book is / was awesome!
Robyn is that friend we all wish to have in life.....
Whitney needed a friend who is going to tell her the truth
I somehow hope someday to see Robyn and Bobby the two humans that Whitney love in her life, could have an interview together and talk about their young years.
I know Whitney would love to see this scene in the heaven.
she sure does
I wish this would happen
YASSSS!!
It was a good book. They were on a roller coaster
This story is the movie that should be made. All the others are nothing compared to this woman's truth.
Robyn it's a true friend for the late whitney Houston and if Robyn was around her life my be whitney will be here today but her brother helped drugs 1988 whith his later sister yousing her fame soo I blaming her family's it's soo sad how it end her life and her only child
🎊
Whitney would have become a wonderful preacher .....
She was....through music!
I think I will always love you song, was dedicated to Robyn from her to her...check verse 3 in a song...I think she was just dedicating that verse to her, Dolly Parton's song was best for both of them shame, Whitney and Robyn 💖💖
a lot of people assume some other songs were meant for robyn as well, like "didn't we almost have it all", "so emotional", the list goes on...
Does anybody know how robyn's book is selling?
@NIVEA Good I'm so glad to hear that
You have to remember when Whitney got married to Bobby Robyn was caught in the middle of their marriage
I think Whitney loved Robyn like a friend / sister ..Robyn LOVE LOVED Whitney ..also keep in mind the times it was frowned upon back then to be homosexual so maybe that played a roll into why Whitney didn’t want to be with Robyn romantically
Stop saying that Whitney was lesbian or she had a secret relationship with Robyn!!!! It's something that happened when they were young, it's like an experience. After Whitney stop the relationship giving a bible to Robyn and told her that they don't have to be PHYSICAL ANYMORE!! So what don't you understand?????
omg, why are you trying so hard to convince people she wasn't gay like it's something wrong?
Yes from the Drs they had recording people the med
Eversince.. . ....Bobby thought clinging to Whitney will also get him to same stardom
A beautiful story RIP WH
I am a huge Whitney Houston Fan after her death I read all the books! Bobby Brown Cissa Houston and many movies. Pat book is 100 percent truth. She loved Whitney if the family would let Nippy be Whitney I believe she would be alive! She wants the fans to know the truth!
Who is pat?
I’m so sorry her name is not Pat it’s Robyn Crawford
IoI 0k... I got excited thought it was a book out that I wasn't aware of
Did whitney contacted her prior to death?
I think Whitney did call her prior to her death, Robin did not answer, Robin listened to her message. Said she had a certain tone in her voice; but she never called her back. Seems she’s dealing with guilt. I know they HAD a relationship, WEH addiction was so severe it was above anyone in her life. 🕊...rip....WEH BKB🕊...
@@may5588 I sometimes wonder perhaps Whitney wanted to be close to her so bad but couldnt have it and drugs were an alternative to hide that.
How did Whitney survive all those years without person she had trusted so much. I sometimes couldnt sleep well if I had a fight with my good friends, and they were not just friends, they were soulmates, best friends, etc.
I met the two of them at a recording studio. She was very domineering possessive and jealous about Whitney. The drugs were flowing. She told me not to look at or talk to Whitney in a frightening tone. She said she was watching me. I was there working on the recording studio w my husband Kashif knew I sang so he asked me to sing backups on a test recording . I wonder what the producer Kashif had to say. About a Robyn
How was Whitney in relation to Robyn? Did she seem like she loved her?
Because most people who have met Robyn say that she was a very calm energy, including producer Narada m Walden (how will I know, I wanna dance with somebody)
@@Ella-nj7my Whitney was chain smoking and I believe she did a line of coke off a stool Robyn put there. Kashif said Robyn was the driver so I was surprised to see her block me going into the sound room with Whitney and threaten me. Not to look or talk to her. Yikes! I was told Robyn didn’t like other woman getting close to Whitney. Whitney smoked did a line but when she had to sing it was beautiful. I remember thinking what a shame she is doing all that to herself. Kashif was a very spiritual guy with crystals, etc. hoped he was a good influence. Wish I got a copy of that track lol
@@Ella-nj7my I can only tell you my experience. I was there w my husband working on the studio. And was glad to get away from Robyn after I helped out. I had a lot to do. I wasn’t there for the whole session. I’ve been around a lot of famous people in music. Very interesting how powerful yet vulnerable fame makes you. I wouldn’t want it.
@@JnTmarie oh wow, that sounds quite scary. I think the drugs negatively influenced them and their attitudes, they could have both been addicted at that point, accounting for erratic behaviour. I know she worked with kashif earlier in her career, what year was this? Thank you for sharing your experience by the way! It’s very interesting to hear, but also saddening that they were doing drugs like that. Although I think they loved each other, they seemed to have a possessive/jealous relationship
That audience member who went ON AND ON AND ON and said nothing.....IRRITATING....
❤
Why didn’t the good friend ever turn the illegal drug use to Clive Davis ? Who had medicine for her mom but no early intervention for Whitney as well.. she states cocaine use was as teens? Why never be a true help to prevent addiction prior to the hit records and jet setting ? Lisa put her through therapy but Robyn didn’t help her “friend” to therapy.. I wish Robyn the best but I wish she would have been loyal to the letter in Esquire.. leave Whitney out of the gay agenda .. shame
Robyn did try her best to help Whitney with the drug use ...telling her parents several times and Clive later on...Whitney did have at least 2 interventions.
Her dad let her skip going to a very good repeatable low profile clinic when all the papers were signed and everything was ready to go...she got very close with that high jacked intervention.hope it helps you with the story details so far.
Velvet doesn’t fit the timeline .. 14 year old and she admitted she was as Whitney we’re using too much cocaine.. also what is the legal age for minors using drugs .. hey Nip and Krissi are resting .. I hate books that never got approval so who really knows what’s true?
Did the proceeds go to Whitney’s designated charities ?
Which proceeds? The money being made by her family members' individual books? The money being made by her family exploiting her in a hologram tour? The money being made from music sales? The money being made by that snake sister-in-law who immediately made sure to be appointed the Trustee of her Estate (even though Whitney named others)? STFU! Robyn was a true friend and Whitney KNEW IT! GTFOH
Bo answer the direct question Yes.? She pocketed by exploiting or NO all profits went to established philanthropy, some of which she is quite familiar of.. .. she is no different than those you mentioned...charity starts at home!
Hey robyn who was nippy favorite actress?
Her favorite color?
Her favorite movie?
Were u her first ever?
Robyn was ur first time with a man or woman?
wastin time Whitney’s favorite color was purple, particularly light purple. Her favorite movie was the 1970s version of Sparkle.
Those last 2 questions are particularly too personal...
@@tasibho yea but so the book 🙀🤫
Was the book
Minha Diva sempre será Diva. Fez opção pelas drogas e por um homem que não a amava como ela o amava.Nao amou Robyn quem verdadeiramente lhe tinha amor. Uma combinação mortal de família ambiciosa, egoísta, pessoas oportunistas, drogas e sexo descontrolado com seu ,infelizmente, marido.
What's the deal with not saying that she had a love affair with her?
It seems like everyone is tiptoeing around the sexual affair.
Americans are (still) ridiculously prude.
It is cringeworthy.
Did he ever make Robin mad or sad to see nip and her later years
It

This interviewer is terrible. She doesn't know what to ask or say. Atrocious.😒 Robyn did all the work.
There's something wrong with you
I think the interviewer was a little all over the place she skipped a lot of things that I would have liked to hear
Whitney was a minor. Robyn was 19. WTF?
Please, translate to spanish, Thanks ¡¡
That was the kind of friend robin
🙏🏾THANK YOU ROBYN🙏🏾 for being such an amazing friend, lover, best friend, go to & confidante. You are thee TRUEST version of what a TRUE FRIEND IS!!!!
Was the Brother molested by the mother's boyfriend?
@rubek bruvi NO, Robyn 'a Brother
rubek bruvi the brother exposed it after Whitney’s death a few yrs ago.....and Whitney did disclose the molestation by Dione Warwick’s sister ... to at least 3 people ...pat.Mary her assistant and I think her make up artist.one of the brothers was left alone or has not spoken up as far. Unfortunately the sexual abuse went on for years.....while cissy was away on tour....I believe this was one of the main reasons behind her drug use and addiction.
Loving unconditionally can also be applied to lesbians to love Whitney unconditionally that she was not Gay... how many times do 16 year olds experiment?? .. Gay men and women have experiences
with Heteros all the tine before deciding to be gay .. so why is it y’all won’t let her be ? Let her Rest In Peace.. she didn’t want to be a lesbian so love her unconditionally.. stop making her out to be closeted or confused .. as Robyn said.. Whitney knew what she wanted and she didn’t want Robyn as a love interest/lesbian/ girlfriend.. this is disturbing that you all are disrespectful to her privacy... Had Robyn been sexual with a 16 year old boy we would not be approving it at all but gays want to endorse and recruit .. she was 16!!! Too young for that experience with an adult.
Robyn & Whitney ua-cam.com/video/XVygiJ4sqmU/v-deo.html, the video would contradict your personal take & assumption. It is not so much of dragging ppl to be gay/lgbtq, we just tried to see the truth burried within Whitney's life & death. What was the cause? Bobby Brown clearly was not and never the love of her life. Robyn&Whitney was an open secret back in the days, now it has been revealed, it all make sense.
Ps. Bobby Brown outed Whitney way earlier than Robyn's book.
Kimya Norene Bobby brown sister said in 2004 she saw women coming in out of her house and she had women in her room and was naked
Kimya Norene Bobby said she was bisexual shit everybody said it you just don’t won’t to amid it. What if she liked men and woman you don’t know how she feel about both
Chim 369 y’all so insecure and far reaching. Whitney didn’t lie.. she said MULTIPLE times gay she is not.. anybody can claim anything.. stop recruiting on b s .. money grubbers
Yasmine Ravizee which sister .. the one paid by the tabloids? Nice source.. get a life..
