How many men in your life, you know, that reacted like Robyn, they would not take no for an answer. Keep sticking around. You tell them , you not interested anymore. They find a reason to say you are. You probably, would get a restraining order. The difference in Robyn, was she had something on her. Robyn could have destroy her life, as well as legacy. Wake Up! I stand in honor of Whitney's life, and her wishes. I don't care how nice she tell the story, so polite and humble. The fact is she is telling the story. She is destroying het mother's memory. Regarless of whether or not, you care about, your or not, she loved her mother. She would turn over in her, yes she would.
Do we really need to hear this ? Why can’t things stay private? Profiting off a book. I don’t care what insight. This world revolves around money and a lack of privacy .
If the family didn't force her to date men she would not have spiraled out of control. Robin took care of her like a friend should. After she wed Bobbie he didn't want her around and the rest OMG!!😢
it's very beautiful and special. Whitney represents beauty at its finest and it seems like Robyn saw her before anybody else did. And if your heart is pure you can love that person knowing they can never belong to you and just be there to protect them. Robyn seems to have loved her through and through...unconditionally like she said
what? bc she says so? whitney has passed on and cant confirm nor defend these statements, and if it did happen its disrespectful bc she is outing someone who cant speak for themselves
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 no one says it was and that’s not what we mean, if someone lied and said I was married the same answer would apply without knowing if it was male or female, that’s just overly sensitive
@@geegee637 it’s wonderful we can now hear this woman’s perspective. She’s not being disrespectful but rather speaking her truth. Whitney should not of had to hide who she really was.
@@chaideelove1819 exactly. Some friend Robyn is. I hate Whitney didn't live long enough to explain, confirm or deny rather than these money makers continue to drag her name for their 15 minutes.
@@keonta81 absolutely!! These hangers-on need to go earn their own legacy instead of trying to profit off of Whitney's, and let that woman rest in peace.
Whenever someone truly loves someone with all their heart....and we've all been there...no matter what happens...even passing,...they're always there in your heart. I cry when I see Robyn speak of Whitney, because I feel her pain. She really wanted things to be different, but she understood the situation. True love understands. I'm very happy that Robyn is joyous and has a happy life today...On Whitney..., and Robyn has said this over and over,...Whitney was more than a God blessed singer,...she had an inner divine peace and connection to God. This is what made her stand out. With her gift, and her relationship with our Lord,..she wanted,..and was able to give us something heavenly. This is not easy to write,...it's more of an understanding of what makes "Greatness". Everything comes from our Savior,..Christ.
Whitney’s drug usage makes a lot of sense now. There was a lot of insecurity, lack of family support, pressure from her family, and genuine inconsideration. That only multiples and festers with time.
@@BriaBarrows Having one experience with a female as teen under the age of 18 does NOT identify Whitney as bi.. I would say more so bi curious ..Whitney realized her attraction for MEN was much stronger ..
Well, when you have to deny what you really are, that can be unbearable. An then you try to numb those feelings. That's what she did. My view: Whitney would still be alive today had she had stayed with Robin. She was the true love of her life.
"It was a THOUGHT that i allowed myself to feel in that moment, and that was pretty much it." This is such a good mental health coping skill. Let yourself be human and vulnerable then let it go. If you can master this skill your life is so much better because of it ❤ she seems like a kind and loving person
Well that’s mental health issues for you lol …. It’s easier said than actually done in practice for many of us Sighh I have ruminating thoughts that feed my depression I do wish I could master this though. I try not to be too hard on myself because of it.
Absolutely right Kevin! Robyn will not allow the mucosal ers to change the narrative or write the script.Robyn speaks her truth with eloquence and respect. Many could learn from her.
I feel because of whitney's familys deep christian beliefs being gay or bisexual is a no no well it was back then lm not sure how it is now in American Christian churchs which Whitney and her family were so deeply intertwined
@@onewoman4274 Friends don't kiss or have sex. I love some friends, but not even in a sexual way. Robyn romanticizes things too much, friendship involving sex is no longer innocent. I thought it was a great trip, although I very much doubt that they ended the physical part of the relationship in 1982. Even though she was married to Bobby, they were in the same hotel room. And her ex-sister-in-law said Whitney had wild sex with other women while she was "crazy" on cocaine. Robyn was not the only woman
@@babynaysc I agree. It's almost insulting. They had a gay relationship. They were lesbians. Just fucking say it. I don't care how soft she is, but waiting 'till someone dies to write a book about it but not really saying it is just...Gurrrl c'mon now.
I heard Whitney say in SEVERAL interviews when she was alive she didn’t need any other friends than Robyn. She is absolutely tellin the truth. No new friends. And now that I’m older I realize how wise she was. Most people are shady and users.
ALEXANDRIA ALLY no the hell she don’t! If she didn’t say anything before then keep it to yourself now. She is clout chasing and fouling Whitney’s image. This woman promised to never tell their secret. What kind of friend is she now?
She surely do have every right to tell her story... everybody else talked about it (Cissy Houston in her book, Bobby Brown, The Whitney Houston movie) . So why can’t she tell HER OWN story.
Robyn helps me to mourn Whitney. Thanks to her, I know that Whitney is in a better place now. Her family and people around her were ALL TOXIC. Rest in peace Nippy
Robyn is revealing her truth. The two were extremely close in friendship and romance. She knew Whitney better than any other person in her world; family, friends, colleagues, fans. I don't understand why some people feel the need to villainize Robyn and undermine what she shared with Whitney. It's obvious the music industry and Whitney's family were running the show. To quell any rumors and rise to such an unfathomable level of fame, Whitney made a choice. There were people with extremely high expectations relying on Whitney and she felt the pressure, so she ended an important part of her life; much to her dismay, because she was miserable living for Hollywood, her family and ultimately, the world. What a sad story. Robyn seems genuine. She was a mainstay in Whitney's life for years, even after the fame, but the reality was to remain a secret. Robyn Crawford was *not* a rendezvous; she was everything to Whitney, but feeling pressured, she sacrificed the love of her life for the industry. RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston, forever a legend.
So she reveals her truth when Whitney is not around to defend herself? How convenient... something doesn’t seem right. A lie will travel a thousand miles, while the truth is still at home tying it’s shoes. If she had any respect for Whitney, she would not sit here and speak on her “relationship” with her. She seems to just want attention.
She is well spoken; polished; and articulate. Her life has seasoned her and made her graceful and classy. She and Whitney deserved to shape and strengthen each other. They had a genuine friendship. So mature...way ahead of their time! I am confident that Whitney would want Robyn to share in this way. They were so protective of each other. Good Work, Robin! And...your story is valid; worthy of being told; and told with grace and charm.And...Decency!!
When Robyn described the night when Whitney was preparing the dinner for Eddie, I can see how in love she was with Whitney, but she knew that Whitney was in love with Eddie. It's not easy to be in love with someone who doesn't have the same feelings as you. Their friendship was more than a sexual relationship.
How could she have happiness in her life, with Robyn, Bobby. She drug herself, away, trying to forget them. She loved her daughter, Christina, trying to protect her against thise Rumor. I see this story in a different light, than Robyn. She was obsessed, with Whitney. She would not let go I can hear her now.Saying. You going to love me, regardless, of what you say, no matter, how many men you have, how many children. I got you. I am in your head. Bottom line torture. If she loved her, she would have freed her. She had a hold on her even after death. She will not let her go! Now she is proving it to you! Next it will be a series, on TV.
Yeah young folks have flings_ , they do drugs, dance laugh have fun then they grow up and live life...accordingly, I hope...not stay stuck in Fantasies...and write books for silly folks to believer in untrue fairytales....
Wow!! To have been in LOVE with someone SO deeply, so close, yet so far. That must have been torture. Smh!!! I’m glad she has a normal life and she is happy. Her wife is a strong woman and probably realizes that Robyn needed this to get this out so she could move on with their life together. I pray nothing but blessings on her and her life and those connected to her.
It happened, cant do nothing about it. It is obvious, that this is not about money. She should have left a long time ago. I guess she is telling her story, because she want to be free in the mind, and nothing else, has freed her . You need to seek counseling and take Whitney's advice.
It hurt my heart a little when she was talking about how pretty she looked, and she wished the dinner was for her. 🥺 I hope a love like Robyn had finds her. (If it hasn't already!) It's a special kind of live when you can step away from the person you love to let them be who they were meant to, or wanted to- so unselfish.
maxwell smart I made that comment two months ago after watching a Wendy Williams interview Now I’ve read Robyn’s book I see why you highlight the definition of traitor. I think Whitney made her choice clear and did not want their early relationship to be public
@@michele2855 Yes Ma'am, Integrity is supposed to MEAN something, SHE has NONE!!!! And she SAY she's a FRIEND!!??? With friends like HEr WHO NEEDs Enemies????
@@kaleychase1846 Hi so was I ..I don't think her mother always had Whitney`s best interest at heart..Then her father steals from her her then tries to sue her..♥️🇦🇺
@Martin Ray she didnt chose Bobby over her. They were long over b4 he was in the picture. Whitney drug us was perpetuated as a result of her and Bobby's marriage. Robyn wasn't jealous of it she didnt believe he was healthy for her. Also Robin was her assistant and friend long b4 he came I to the picture. They had a working relationship ship. She wasn't a third wheel she was a business partner as well.
It's not ashamed it's sun God sight he didn't make two woman's to be together he made man and woman so it's not ashamed.its a blessing they broke up Bobby Brown really didn't break them up it was God that convicted her in her soul then Bobby Brown came along
Whitney wanted a family more and they're relationship shifted to being platonic. She was a remarkable talent and this is unconditional love to release her.
No, she didn’t want to outed. And have her success taken away. Whitney’s mother is also extremely homophobic. She’s said on camera she would never accept a child if they were gay. Also, you can absolutely be gay and have a family.
@@katrinaolsen2444 I agree. I think she felt pressured by her family, religion, and career to suppress her true feelings, which in itself is heartbreaking. 💔
@@jennifers.3818 Her mother, father, and immediate family were not in some cases, in fact they fueled some of her issues because of their greed and leeching off of Whitney’s fame. Robyn genuinely loved her unconditionally.
Robyn Took a Whole Lot of Hurt, You can see it in her Eye's. When she was on Wendy's Show I cried for Her she has had a lot of Pain. Best Heart and Feelings for Whitney and also Her Mother. God Bless You My Sister. I hope your Love Deserves Your Love because You need Lots of Love. God Bless You and Her and Your Children. Happy Holidays at The Crawford House. Amen!
My God, you hear about people in love you even see people in love but you can really see and feel the depth of Robyn's love for Whitney. I honestly do not think any relationship she has although she may love that person can come anywhere close to what she and Whitney shared. Wow
@@lorrainewilson9818 Not sure if u are into any channeling videos but Sloan Bella did a Whitney video & she talks of her love of Robin..Its very interesting & thought provoking
I'm definitely not disputing that at all. This interview with Robyn I'm just seeing the overwhelming love Robyn has for her. Something about Robyn's aura in this interview says alot to me.
@calaragazza Ok BUT Robyn said Whitney was IN LOVE with Bobby ..Robyn was NOT the love of Whitney's life ....Robyn was an experience Whitney had as a teen..Robyn also told Whitney to choose between their friendship and Bobby ....Whitney didn't like that. ..so Whitney sent Robyn a message telling Robyn she accepts her resignation ...That's really how and why Robyn left ..
She was in love with Whitney. It wasn't reciprocated, but she knows Whitney loved her, but want in love with her. It's not easy to remain dignified in that circumstance.
c d Whitney wanted and needed a male husband. It was the 80s and 90s. Simple as that. Otherwise they would have still been together. Robyn understood. Still they loved each other. Bravo.
@@matzohgirl I doubt they would've still been together ...Whitney was into MEN..Whitney TOLD Robyn she wanted to get married to a man and have a family .Robyn was just an experience Whitney had when she was a teenager...
Whitney obviously was bisexual. During that time if she wanted a career she had to stop being in a couple relationship with Robyn.Of course she had to turn to men. Whitney was also very jealous when it came to Robyn dating other women. Showing up at Robyn's place uninvited when she knew a woman was to be there...asking all kind of questions. Very sad what they both endured. Fast forward to today and changing society and what Whitney and Robyn shared and went through together...I seriously believe they would have married and had children together.
Keep in mind one homosexual experience with the same sex does not make you an out and out lesbian...and its not always love. Just like straight love isn't always easy. Whitney may have loved her but did not a relationship with her. Robyn needs to get over it.
I have always felt that Robyn and Whitney loved each other more than they could share with their families and public. That changed nothing for me because I’m still a fan and have always looked at Whitney as human first and had soft eyes for all she has been through. Still miss her like crazy, I bought Robyn’s book as soon as it was available because I knew she would tell the truth.
Her struggles were her own life challenges, that had nothing to do with having a Fling in your, youth, someone should have learned to move on and grow....stop looking back trying to be really special to someone that has grown away from your journey...
Robyn thank you for showing us the beautiful person that we lost.I have been a fan of Whitney's for years but u made realize just why I loved her so much.
Robyn you are a great friend, let yourself have those thoughts and feelings, You were in love, I feel you are speaking the truth and glad you are speaking up
How I know she telling the truth is not because I like what hear but it's that every person that has ever been in deep love with someone knows that feeling that even if the person is not with you you want to see them happy no matter what.. and that's the type love we all strive for. You feel the emotions in her ever word.. more then i can say for her family. She's still in love with Whitney it's in her voice. I knuw this feeling all too well
I love the way you speak so lovingly about Whitney. Robyn you have a beautiful light inside and out and the world benefits in a great way from you and people like you❤
Sounds to me like some people on this panel don't want to hear the truth anyway Whitney Houston was in love with Robyn Crawford and Robyn Crawford was her strength now whether the people here want to believe that are not too bad Robin was her strength and just like everyone is telling their side of the story Robin has every right to tell her God bless you Robin and I wish you the best
I don't think Whitney was IN love with Robyn ...I think Whitney loved and cared for Robyn as a friend...Robyn was IN love with Whitney .but Whitney was IN love with Bobby...Robyn said she knew where Whitney's head and heart was and it was not with her..
@@spicyhot2552 I agree. I don't think Whitney loved Robyn as deeply as Robyn loved her. Whitney loved her as a good friend but Robyn was truly in love with her.
@John Edwards Whitney had every right to turn her x girl friend down. It was weighing on her concious. But she had to gradually let Robyn down easy. Robyn could have been an explosion for Whitney. Her mother even said Robyn act like she had something on Whitney. She did. She could have destroyed Whitney and Whitney knew it. Robyn was handled with kid gloves.
@@spicyhot2552 Thank you for saying that Having an experience does not make you a lesbian People in 2021 want to create a love story that wasn't one I see a friendship but definitely not a love story
The media is so focused on her intimate relationship with Whitney. 🙄 It's not even a big deal. It was only a small part of their relationship. It was much deeper than sex. They had a deep bond. A real friendship/sisterhood. Not everyone is focus on sex.
@s t a r if telling her story, then, could have help, Whitney, get help, she should have told it while Whitney was alive. That story was held of Whitney head..Who is the story helping Now! Tough love, should have been the name of the book in 1990. That way. It would have been before Bobbie and Christina Before the drug became so deep, rooted in her. That would have, been love. All I see is every one of them people had something to gain by keeping quite. They all knew her battle. This was also before thei mileniam. law!
Apparently they dit once When they were not even 18 Whitney was not a lesbian I myself had an experience with a guy in high school and at 40 today, I ain't gay
I can see why Whitney fell in Love with Robin and remained friends with her. Robin knew the true meaning of friendship. You can see and hear it through her words when she speaks about Whitney. She is still very protective of Whitney which makes me like Robin so much. That is how I like my true friends to be and that is how I am to my good friends. God Bless her.
Well I'm glad I'm hearing this by people who were really there and saw it all happen. Hiding beneath the rugs or curtains or wherever you were able to fit. Because by my comment I'm only speaking from what I saw on Wendy Williams interview. But thanks for the info. I can really go on with my life now.
@@ajleed2933 Whitney also loved Bobby and CHOSE to marry him..I think Whitney cared for Robyn but not the way she LOVED Bobby .Robyn even said she knew it.
I LOVE you Robyn Crawford because I’ve always known that you were loyal, true to Whitney, and loved her unconditionally. Thank you so much for loving my #1 singer so much.
Whitney was very lucky to have Robyn in her life as long as she did. She is such a smart woman and her devotion is clear. It's too bad she was eventually pushed out. It's too bad she couldn't help Whitney in her battle against addiction. But Robyn deserved her own life and I'm glad she has had that opportunity. I hope her book sells well. It's a beautiful story of friendship and it feels extremely honest and real. I hope a movie is made about it. I'm glad there was a happy ending for Robyn. Though I'm sure she would love to still have whitney alive and even in her life though it seemed like that couldn't really happen in a healthy way, unfortunately.
I got Robyn Crawford book. It’s a pretty great book to read. This book take me back where people in the 80 era and 90 era are very secretive about sexuality identity and drugs issues. I remember growing up in 1990. We don’t talk about drugs and sexuality when I was a kids. Because being gay and lesbian even transgender and crackhead is shunned. I’m glad that Robyn talk about it in pure detail how 1980 and 1990 was at that time. Anyway, I’m gonna finish up this Robyn Crawford book.
That s good. I'm gonna read it once I get my hands on it...I wish there was more Whitney bios. Because as famous as she was, I really don't know that much about her. I think the woman wanted peace quiet and privacy but the media itself was no help to Whitney's lifestyle and helped led to her downfall and death. I'm sorry she couldn't kick her drug habit once and for all.
When Whitney’s career was about to blow up she was told that it if it cam out that she was bisexual and in a relationship with a woman it would hinder her career and that she needed to break it off with her and after that Robyn was ostracized from Whitney’s life by her family and her management
It gives me comfort to know that Whitney had a deep love for the LORD WHO gave her breath, and that she recognized the way HE'D gifted her. I always loved Whitney because she just seemed so real people...
If a person is telling their story then they should not spend a lot of time tripping on a Fling of their youth...they should tell about who they are and not how they think someone else felt or feels...Js...so Classy to Kiss and Tell especially when someone is DEAD and cannot defend themselves....
I appreciate the book she tells the story especially how she speaks of Whitney. She loved her she was her friend. The sexual relationship was short lived. She respected Whitney and her decision.
I’ve heard many people speak who were “close” to Whitney. Not her mother, not her brothers, not anyone has spoken so in depth and passionate as Robyn. Only God knew what Whitney was going through, but there was a kind of love that God only knows.
Robyn is amazing. While I completely understand her maturity and acceptance of Whitney's decision, I still feel broken hearted for the pain she went through watching not only Whitney's separation from her, but also her self destruction. For someone who clearly loved Whitney so deeply, it was probably the most frustrating position to ever be in.
Wow Heartbreaking i feel the hurt 💔when Robyn see Whitney through the window looking beautiful. Whitney and Robyn share a Higher Love 💞💞💞 and they where there for each other. Whitney Love Jesus more than anything
I think she has nothing but LOVE for Whitney. She could have written a book years ago on her relationship for a big profit. She waited. She really, really LOVED her.
I’m not so sure. I saw her as possessive and thought she was feeding her drugs when I saw them together in the studio. It’s only now looking back I see how manipulated Whitney was. That jealousy thing was raging. No one was going to hurt Whitney yet robyn warned me don’t look or speak to Whitney as I’m going in to do backup vocals. This was at Kashif studios RIP Whitney. I remember her chain smoking, I think doing coke , but when it came time to sing it was gorgeous❤️ I heard her sing in this small room. Just beautiful and right on cue.
So they had a story when they were not even 18 Y. O And people want to think Whitney was lesbian She was not As many young people, she had an experience But she was really in love with Bobby Brown
Agreed. I think she was in the very least bisexual or curious and may have been struggling with her sexuality but we can't deny that she wanted Robyn in the same way. It's apparent that they were very attracted to each other.
@@MA-rn2xp Whitley got touched by a female as a kid and it confused her if that didn’t happened she would’ve gave messed with Robyn Whitney was crazy in love with Bobby going to the hood to pay ransoms for him!
My mother, who came out in 1985 with three little kids (and who had Whitney's debut album, the cover of which is one of my first memories) called it years ago about Whitney's sexuality.
Such a sad story. I can understand that she loved Whitney, but I wish she could have found the strength to move on and find someone who loved her back.
She's been married with children for years. She describes how she felt at that time in her life. it was a very short time but still significant. I think Robyn did this so that others could not use it to shame her best friend or to cheapen what they had.
I feel sorry for Robyn. You can tell she was and still is deeply in love with Whitney. Obviously the love wasnt reciprocated on a romantic level. And it's sad because she was so devoted to Whitney and still is. I feel like Robyn deserved better. To hear her talk about how she wished Whitney was preparing a place at the table for her was heartbreaking.
Whitney was in love too, their romance lasted very long, it had to end though but they still remained close as they always were, just without the sexual aspect. When two people are connected sex is not the only pillar that holds them together, most people don't understand this. If homophobia did not exist, these two had a pretty solid chance of staying romantically together throughout their lives.
@@MegaThefuture Whitney was not in love with her. And, let's be real, Whitney was molested by a woman as a child and that screwed her up....but she knew it screwed her up. But for that encounter, she never would've been with Robyn -- the older woman who took advantage of her... Whitney loved and was attracted to men, not women.
Oh my gosh. This woman loved Whitney so much she d settle just for being friends to continue being a part of her life and be there for her. I dont think she EVER stopped loving her more than friends but she just knew there was no future for them in that time nor could there ever be. She loved Whitney so much she d settle seeing her happy even if it wasnt her. Though in her little comment of "she wish it was her" those deeper feelings she held down n supressed for the sake of their friendship creeped up. She like an amazing person i can understand why she and whitney loved each other the way they did. Breaks my heart that they both knew they could have never been together the way they wanted to... If they were allowed to be together, Whitney s life may not still have been perfect but it no doubt would be healthier with Robyns energy n hers n their connection. Though Whitney like us all still had her inner demons to face. They just seem nicely suited. Not sure how much of herself Whitney gave to Robyn but seemed Robyn was quite giving. Such lovely energy ❤
Robyn waited the appropriate amount of time to speak her truth regarding her relationship with Whitney & you just know that she turned down some huge offers from publishers to wrote a tell all after Houston's passing.
I love Robyn so much……I can see why Whitney wanted her by her side….she has such a calming persona…..such positive energy……in a world as chaotic as the entertainment industry you definitely need a person with those qualities around you
Even you a mere stranger is speaking on Whitney Houston how much more someone who spent over 2 decades with her ?? Who do you think you are to tell Robyn not to speak about her best friend???
Wow Robin is one Beautiful classy woman & the way she speaks about her friend Whitney Houston is so loving 🥰 & respectful. She really admired the the type of woman Whitney was & she was a “ REAL FRIEND “ ride/or die & loyal. We all can benefit from a friend like Robin. I firmly believe that if Robin would’ve been in Whitney Houston’s life a little while longer Whitney would still be here. But she definitely stayed the course I feel that as a “ Best friend “ you want the best for your friend & she couldn’t just stand by & watch Whitney self destruct
Too many people focus on the sexual relationship instead of the FRIENDSHIP. Look, I remember when WH first hit the scene that there were questions about her sexuality. Was WH Gay, bi, pan, etc.? Who knows and who gives a damn! Did you not HEAR Robyn say they didn't use labels? Robyn has been consistent in every interview I've seen. Unlike WH's family, Robyn is one of the few people that loved WH and had her BEST interests at heart and didn't view her as a cash cow. Robyn accepted WH as is, warts and all (unlike Cissy). I think there is alot that Robyn held back out of respect. I think the same people that praised Bobby's book/movie for telling his "truth" are the same people bashing Robyn for telling hers.
Donna D. Thank you. Agree w/you 100%. Couldn't care less if WH was Gay, Bi, etc. All I know is, she was a Gift from God & we became the unfortunate ones the day we lost, The Voice. RIP, Whitney. Will be thinkingof you Feb 11th & having a couple of shots of Hennessey in memory of you.
Her book was the only book that I believe because Ms. Crawford had no problem incriminating herself. She wasn’t trying to make herself look good. I felt she honestly loved Whitney more than anything.
I remember seeing Whitney at Madison Square Garden, when Whitney asked Robyn to bring her a jacket, and slip it on her on stage. There were murmurs in the audience, as if they didn’t all approve… too bad. Love and caring… is love and caring. Robyn has a very peaceful vibe to her. She sounds very gracious and humble. And let’s face it. Who among us, didn’t fall in love with Whitney.
Listen to the full interview here: siriusxm.us/RobynCrawford
How many men in your life, you know, that reacted like Robyn, they would not
take no for an answer. Keep sticking around. You tell them , you not interested anymore. They find a reason to say you are. You probably, would get a restraining order. The difference in Robyn, was she had something on her. Robyn could have destroy her life, as well as legacy. Wake Up! I stand in honor of Whitney's life, and her wishes. I don't care how nice she tell the story, so polite and humble. The fact is she is telling the story. She is destroying het mother's memory. Regarless of whether or not, you care about, your or not, she loved her mother. She would turn over in her, yes she would.
NO THANKS ‼️
Do we really need to hear this ? Why can’t things stay private? Profiting off a book. I don’t care what insight. This world revolves around money and a lack of privacy .
If the family didn't force her to date men she would not have spiraled out of control. Robin took care of her like a friend should. After she wed Bobbie he didn't want her around and the rest OMG!!😢
Can you make the full interview available for Europe? The sirius app is not downloadable here..
The love she has for Whitney is very deep. In her heart she still loves her and holds on to the memories of Whitney.
it's very beautiful and special. Whitney represents beauty at its finest and it seems like Robyn saw her before anybody else did. And if your heart is pure you can love that person knowing they can never belong to you and just be there to protect them. Robyn seems to have loved her through and through...unconditionally like she said

I totally agree with you, Paul. Robyn's love for Whitney is undeniable.
Whenever someone truly loves someone with all their heart....and we've all been there...no matter what happens...even passing,...they're always there in your heart. I cry when I see Robyn speak of Whitney, because I feel her pain. She really wanted things to be different, but she understood the situation. True love understands. I'm very happy that Robyn is joyous and has a happy life today...On Whitney..., and Robyn has said this over and over,...Whitney was more than a God blessed singer,...she had an inner divine peace and connection to God. This is what made her stand out. With her gift, and her relationship with our Lord,..she wanted,..and was able to give us something heavenly. This is not easy to write,...it's more of an understanding of what makes "Greatness". Everything comes from our Savior,..Christ.
This interview has me wanting to order the book.
This interview has me wanting to order the book.
Whitney’s drug usage makes a lot of sense now. There was a lot of insecurity, lack of family support, pressure from her family, and genuine inconsideration. That only multiples and festers with time.
Yeah I didn't realize she had such a hard family life. I felt so bad for her while reading the book.
Danielle Charley so much sense. She was lost and probably felt shame for being bi. I love how Robyn speaks of her
@@BriaBarrows Having one experience with a female as teen under the age of 18 does NOT identify Whitney as bi.. I would say more so bi curious ..Whitney realized her attraction for MEN was much stronger ..
Well, when you have to deny what you really are, that can be unbearable. An then you try to numb those feelings. That's what she did. My view: Whitney would still be alive today had she had stayed with Robin. She was the true love of her life.
Yes..!i Always say..what we go through,as kids/growing up,Sometimes it does Affect us in the Future!!
"It was a THOUGHT that i allowed myself to feel in that moment, and that was pretty much it." This is such a good mental health coping skill. Let yourself be human and vulnerable then let it go. If you can master this skill your life is so much better because of it ❤ she seems like a kind and loving person
It really is ❤❤❤
Well that’s mental health issues for you lol …. It’s easier said than actually done in practice for many of us Sighh I have ruminating thoughts that feed my depression I do wish I could master this though. I try not to be too hard on myself because of it.
Well said 👏🏾
Yes! Love is a choice.
She knew it could never ever happen so she never let herself hang onto those feelings
The friendship was more than a sexual interlude that the media and some of Houston's family want to portray it. I am glad that Robyn told her truth.
Absolutely right Kevin! Robyn will not allow the mucosal ers to change the narrative or write the script.Robyn speaks her truth with eloquence and respect. Many could learn from her.
I feel because of whitney's familys deep christian beliefs being gay or bisexual is a no no well it was back then lm not sure how it is now in American Christian churchs which Whitney and her family were so deeply intertwined
@@onewoman4274 Friends don't kiss or have sex. I love some friends, but not even in a sexual way. Robyn romanticizes things too much, friendship involving sex is no longer innocent. I thought it was a great trip, although I very much doubt that they ended the physical part of the relationship in 1982. Even though she was married to Bobby, they were in the same hotel room. And her ex-sister-in-law said Whitney had wild sex with other women while she was "crazy" on cocaine. Robyn was not the only woman
@@babynaysc I agree. It's almost insulting. They had a gay relationship. They were lesbians. Just fucking say it. I don't care how soft she is, but waiting 'till someone dies to write a book about it but not really saying it is just...Gurrrl c'mon now.
@@MO-ir7bt yes, and no problem about it, they were a couple and its normal, i think they were in denial
I heard Whitney say in SEVERAL interviews when she was alive she didn’t need any other friends than Robyn. She is absolutely tellin the truth. No new friends. And now that I’m older I realize how wise she was. Most people are shady and users.
Yes I agree no new friends I'd rather be friends wth the ones whn I was not my best then the ones whn am up be there for there own gain.
I can feel the genuine love from one human to another. No envy, no hate, no jealousy. I don’t know why I’m crying.
Because it's difficult to love someone unconditionally. He'll I'm crying also 😢
She has every right to tell her story
No Whitney Houston is not here to defend herself 😤
EVERY!!!!!!
ALEXANDRIA ALLY no the hell she don’t! If she didn’t say anything before then keep it to yourself now. She is clout chasing and fouling Whitney’s image. This woman promised to never tell their secret. What kind of friend is she now?
Strawberry Tiger 100 percent agreed it's all about $$$ the book deal 🤑she didn't respect Whitney wishes 😡that woman has no shame 👍🏾
She surely do have every right to tell her story... everybody else talked about it (Cissy Houston in her book, Bobby Brown, The Whitney Houston movie) . So why can’t she tell HER OWN story.
Her book is so honest. She was truly Whitney’s friend. Kudos to Robyn.
Robyn helps me to mourn Whitney. Thanks to her, I know that Whitney is in a better place now. Her family and people around her were ALL TOXIC. Rest in peace Nippy
Wow! That was beautiful. I felt that LOVE through the screen... Dang wish Robyn's love could've saved Whitney's life!
Whitney was a gift to us and Robyn was a gift to Whitney.
I SAID THE SAME ❤PLUS WH. Could have FOUND A BETTER BEARD OR HUSBAND 😮😢
Dang she is so well spoken, she is genuine.. ❤️
....Oh is she....
@@chaideelove1819 Yes she is! They met at a Catholic HS they both attended.
Its her job
But why wouldnt she be “well spoken” - just curious
Is that surprising to you?
Robyn is revealing her truth. The two were extremely close in friendship and romance. She knew Whitney better than any other person in her world; family, friends, colleagues, fans. I don't understand why some people feel the need to villainize Robyn and undermine what she shared with Whitney. It's obvious the music industry and Whitney's family were running the show. To quell any rumors and rise to such an unfathomable level of fame, Whitney made a choice. There were people with extremely high expectations relying on Whitney and she felt the pressure, so she ended an important part of her life; much to her dismay, because she was miserable living for Hollywood, her family and ultimately, the world. What a sad story. Robyn seems genuine. She was a mainstay in Whitney's life for years, even after the fame, but the reality was to remain a secret. Robyn Crawford was *not* a rendezvous; she was everything to Whitney, but feeling pressured, she sacrificed the love of her life for the industry.
RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston, forever a legend.
So she reveals her truth when Whitney is not around to defend herself? How convenient... something doesn’t seem right. A lie will travel a thousand miles, while the truth is still at home tying it’s shoes. If she had any respect for Whitney, she would not sit here and speak on her “relationship” with her. She seems to just want attention.
@@k.a5070 Bobby Brown outed and confirmed their sexual relationship in 2016, Robyn released her book in 2019
@@k.a5070 agreed.
Sometimes people’s truths are LIES!
she did it for more than fame and success. she also did it to uphold the christian nuclear family ideal she had been raised with. sad.
She is well spoken; polished; and articulate. Her life has seasoned her and made her graceful and classy. She and Whitney deserved to shape and strengthen each other. They had a genuine friendship. So mature...way ahead of their time! I am confident that Whitney would want Robyn to share in this way. They were so protective of each other. Good Work, Robin! And...your story is valid; worthy of being told; and told with grace and charm.And...Decency!!
Read the book. It is really good.
Sadi M. I want to now
Sadi M. - Sooooo good!
I'd like to read this book I feel that it'll be genuine and interesting. Maybe for Robyn's own peace she needed to tell her side of life with Whitney.
I'm still broken up about Whitney's passing. RIP to one of the greatest of all time.
When Robyn described the night when Whitney was preparing the dinner for Eddie, I can see how in love she was with Whitney, but she knew that Whitney was in love with Eddie. It's not easy to be in love with someone who doesn't have the same feelings as you. Their friendship was more than a sexual relationship.
But, Whitney also had her jealous moments with Robyn dating other people, too. It’s in the book.
@@shockadelica8661Whitney and Robyn belonged together. They were so tortured by their circumstances. It’s a shame they weren’t born in this era.
I have so much respect for Robyn, her honesty is so refreshing. God Bless her, very touching. RIP Whitney and Bobbi Kris
Whitney always stated that she feed and takes care of everyone...I guess she coming back after death for seconds...
@@chaideelove1819 😂💯
I am so grateful that Whitney had Robin because that lets me know that she did have some happiness in her life
How could she have happiness in her life, with Robyn, Bobby. She drug herself, away, trying to forget them. She loved her daughter, Christina, trying to protect her against thise Rumor. I see this story in a different light, than Robyn. She was obsessed, with Whitney. She would not let go
I can hear her now.Saying. You going to love me, regardless, of what you say, no matter, how many men you have, how many children. I got you. I am in your head. Bottom line torture. If she loved her, she would have freed her. She had a hold on her even after death. She will not let her go! Now she is proving it to you! Next it will be a series, on TV.
Yeah young folks have flings_ , they do drugs, dance laugh have fun then they grow up and live life...accordingly, I hope...not stay stuck in Fantasies...and write books for silly folks to believer in untrue fairytales....
@@chaideelove1819 dumb idiot
@@veronicanovais58 Sorry Lol....just my opinion
Wish they could have stayed together. She would have treated her right
Wow!! To have been in LOVE with someone SO deeply, so close, yet so far. That must have been torture. Smh!!! I’m glad she has a normal life and she is happy. Her wife is a strong woman and probably realizes that Robyn needed this to get this out so she could move on with their life together. I pray nothing but blessings on her and her life and those connected to her.
It happened, cant do nothing about it. It is obvious, that this is not about money. She should have left a long time ago. I guess she is telling her story, because she want to be free in the mind, and nothing else, has freed her . You need to seek counseling and take Whitney's advice.
It hurt my heart a little when she was talking about how pretty she looked, and she wished the dinner was for her. 🥺 I hope a love like Robyn had finds her. (If it hasn't already!) It's a special kind of live when you can step away from the person you love to let them be who they were meant to, or wanted to- so unselfish.
Robyn is a good person. It is comforting to hear about Whitney’s deep connection to Jesus
Robyn speaks in a respectful way
maxwell smart I made that comment two months ago after watching a Wendy Williams interview
Now I’ve read Robyn’s book
I see why you highlight the definition of traitor. I think Whitney made her choice clear and did not want their early relationship to be public
@@michele2855 Yes Ma'am, Integrity is supposed to MEAN something, SHE has NONE!!!! And she SAY she's a FRIEND!!??? With friends like HEr WHO NEEDs Enemies????
@@michele2855 she doesn't have a right to say 'you cannot speak your truth'.
This woman was a true friend to Whitney Houston and everyone around her destroyed that friendship including Bobby Brown and her own family..
I was shocked that Cissy was so mean and heartless to Whitney throughout her life!
@@kaleychase1846 Hi so was I ..I don't think her mother always had Whitney`s best interest at heart..Then her father steals from her her then tries to sue her..♥️🇦🇺
@Martin Ray What marriage? that wasn't a real marriage that was Whitney's death sentence. That marriage was thee worst thing to ever happen to her.
@Martin Ray she didnt chose Bobby over her. They were long over b4 he was in the picture. Whitney drug us was perpetuated as a result of her and Bobby's marriage. Robyn wasn't jealous of it she didnt believe he was healthy for her.
Also Robin was her assistant and friend long b4 he came I to the picture. They had a working relationship ship. She wasn't a third wheel she was a business partner as well.
This woman, wanted to be Bobby Brown wife lover. Whitney divorced, her. She moved on, had a husband and a child. Felisia move on.
I can feel her love for Whitney.
Robin is so genuine and special.
Such a shame they couldn't stay together.
It's not ashamed it's sun God sight he didn't make two woman's to be together he made man and woman so it's not ashamed.its a blessing they broke up Bobby Brown really didn't break them up it was God that convicted her in her soul then Bobby Brown came along
This is Robyn's moment and I am sooo... proud of her for the "now"!!!!
Whitney wanted a family more and they're relationship shifted to being platonic. She was a remarkable talent and this is unconditional love to release her.
No, she didn’t want to outed. And have her success taken away. Whitney’s mother is also extremely homophobic. She’s said on camera she would never accept a child if they were gay. Also, you can absolutely be gay and have a family.
@@katrinaolsen2444 I agree. I think she felt pressured by her family, religion, and career to suppress her true feelings, which in itself is heartbreaking. 💔
I think this woman was the most solid person in Whitney’s life.
You mean besides her own mother?
@@jennifers.3818 Her mother, father, and immediate family were not in some cases, in fact they fueled some of her issues because of their greed and leeching off of Whitney’s fame. Robyn genuinely loved her unconditionally.
Robyn Took a Whole Lot of Hurt, You can see it in her Eye's. When she was on Wendy's Show I cried for Her she has had a lot of Pain. Best Heart and Feelings for Whitney and also Her Mother. God Bless You My Sister. I hope your Love Deserves Your Love because You need Lots of Love. God Bless You and Her and Your Children. Happy Holidays at The Crawford House. Amen!
Falavam que eu parecia com a witney
“She said a lot of things but you’ve to know when she’s speaking” that’s hit me hard. That’s love right there!
She loved Whitney so much wow
My God, you hear about people in love you even see people in love but you can really see and feel the depth of Robyn's love for Whitney. I honestly do not think any relationship she has although she may love that person can come anywhere close to what she and Whitney shared. Wow
@@lorrainewilson9818 Not sure if u are into any channeling videos but Sloan Bella did a Whitney video & she talks of her love of Robin..Its very interesting & thought provoking
I'm definitely not disputing that at all. This interview with Robyn I'm just seeing the overwhelming love Robyn has for her. Something about Robyn's aura in this interview says alot to me.
@@lorrainewilson9818 Yes i was feeling the love she still has for Whitney..She loved Whitney unconditionally more than i can say for her family.
Salima Abdou she did
I mean this in the appropriate way but I really do believe Whitney and Robyn were the loves of each other's lives.
NO..Whitney may have been the love of Robyn's life ..The love of Whitney's life was her husband ..Bobby Brown..
@calaragazza Well Robyn is the one who said Whitney loved Bobby ...Robyn of all people ought to know .
@calaragazza Ok BUT Robyn said Whitney was IN LOVE with Bobby ..Robyn was NOT the love of Whitney's life ....Robyn was an experience Whitney had as a teen..Robyn also told Whitney to choose between their friendship and Bobby ....Whitney didn't like that. ..so Whitney sent Robyn a message telling Robyn she accepts her resignation ...That's really how and why Robyn left ..
@calaragazza No I wasnt there i'm going by what Robyn has said..
@@spicyhot2552 more like lust and a strong like...I don't believe it was real love with Bobby
She was in love with Whitney. It wasn't reciprocated, but she knows Whitney loved her, but want in love with her. It's not easy to remain dignified in that circumstance.
True..
c d Whitney wanted and needed a male husband. It was the 80s and 90s. Simple as that. Otherwise they would have still been together. Robyn understood. Still they loved each other. Bravo.
@@matzohgirl I doubt they would've still been together ...Whitney was into MEN..Whitney TOLD Robyn she wanted to get married to a man and have a family .Robyn was just an experience Whitney had when she was a teenager...
Whitney obviously was bisexual. During that time if she wanted a career she had to stop being in a couple relationship with Robyn.Of course she had to turn to men. Whitney was also very jealous when it came to Robyn dating other women. Showing up at Robyn's place uninvited when she knew a woman was to be there...asking all kind of questions. Very sad what they both endured. Fast forward to today and changing society and what Whitney and Robyn shared and went through together...I seriously believe they would have married and had children together.
Keep in mind one homosexual experience with the same sex does not make you an out and out lesbian...and its not always love. Just like straight love isn't always easy. Whitney may have loved her but did not a relationship with her. Robyn needs to get over it.
I actually respect Robyn for her loyalty to Whitney... She was a TRUE friend x
This lady so real
REAL..bs...js...
Real mental....Move on Robyn...a fling is not meant to be a life long fantasy....
Out of all of the people involved in the Whitney Houston saga, she comes across as the most commendable.
I have always felt that Robyn and Whitney loved each other more than they could share with their families and public. That changed nothing for me because I’m still a fan and have always looked at Whitney as human first and had soft eyes for all she has been through. Still miss her like crazy, I bought Robyn’s book as soon as it was available because I knew she would tell the truth.
Listened to the book on Audible. Robyn has been through so much in her life. The book focuses on her personal struggles as well.
NoneW0rks. Right. Amazing book. Well done Robyn.
NoneW0rks What does she do now for work?
@@matzohgirl she a personal trainer
NoneW0rks - I too listened. Her recall is fantastic and it’s truly beautiful story.
Her struggles were her own life challenges, that had nothing to do with having a Fling in your, youth, someone should have learned to move on and grow....stop looking back trying to be really special to someone that has grown away from your journey...
*"If you love me, love me unconditionally."* May Jesus bless both Whitney and Robyn.
Robyn thank you for showing us the beautiful person that we lost.I have been a fan of Whitney's for years but u made realize just why I loved her so much.
Robyn you are a great friend, let yourself have those thoughts and feelings, You were in love, I feel you are speaking the truth and glad you are speaking up
So glad she spoke out. Huge respect for her.
How I know she telling the truth is not because I like what hear but it's that every person that has ever been in deep love with someone knows that feeling that even if the person is not with you you want to see them happy no matter what.. and that's the type love we all strive for. You feel the emotions in her ever word.. more then i can say for her family. She's still in love with Whitney it's in her voice. I knuw this feeling all too well
I agree
Yes.....she is very believable ! ♥️♥️
Yes. I’ve been there. Love them enough to respect their wishes and see them happy
Shontara Duncan well said
Shontara Duncan Agreed
I love the way you speak so lovingly about Whitney. Robyn you have a beautiful light inside and out and the world benefits in a great way from you and people like you❤
Sounds to me like some people on this panel don't want to hear the truth anyway Whitney Houston was in love with Robyn Crawford and Robyn Crawford was her strength now whether the people here want to believe that are not too bad Robin was her strength and just like everyone is telling their side of the story Robin has every right to tell her God bless you Robin and I wish you the best
I don't think Whitney was IN love with Robyn ...I think Whitney loved and cared for Robyn as a friend...Robyn was IN love with Whitney .but Whitney was IN love with Bobby...Robyn said she knew where Whitney's head and heart was and it was not with her..
@@spicyhot2552 I agree. I don't think Whitney loved Robyn as deeply as Robyn loved her. Whitney loved her as a good friend but Robyn was truly in love with her.
@John Edwards Whitney had every right to turn her x girl friend down. It was weighing on her concious. But she had to gradually let Robyn down easy. Robyn could have been an explosion for Whitney. Her mother even said Robyn act like she had something on Whitney. She did. She could have destroyed Whitney and Whitney knew it. Robyn was handled with kid gloves.
@John Edwards ..... Really she never dumped robyn... Whitney just married bobby because she wanted kids. But robyn was right there.
@@spicyhot2552 Thank you for saying that
Having an experience does not make you a lesbian
People in 2021 want to create a love story that wasn't one
I see a friendship but definitely not a love story
The media is so focused on her intimate relationship with Whitney. 🙄 It's not even a big deal. It was only a small part of their relationship. It was much deeper than sex. They had a deep bond. A real friendship/sisterhood. Not everyone is focus on sex.
Exactly!
Well hun...thats the "handle" Robyn is using to push the book.
That was the part, she emphasize, in order to get, the media attention.
@s t a r if telling her story, then, could have help, Whitney, get help, she should have told it while Whitney was alive. That story was held of Whitney head..Who is the story helping Now! Tough love, should have been the name of the book in 1990. That way. It would have been before Bobbie and Christina Before the drug became so deep, rooted in her. That would have, been love. All I see is every one of them people had something to gain by keeping quite. They all knew her battle. This was also before thei mileniam. law!
Apparently they dit once
When they were not even 18
Whitney was not a lesbian
I myself had an experience with a guy in high school and at 40 today, I ain't gay
I can see why Whitney fell in Love with Robin and remained friends with her. Robin knew the true meaning of friendship. You can see and hear it through her words when she speaks about Whitney. She is still very protective of Whitney which makes me like Robin so much. That is how I like my true friends to be and that is how I am to my good friends. God Bless her.
Whitney did not fall IN love with Robyn ..Whitney loved and cared for Robyn as a good friend ..Robyn fell IN love with Whitney..
She never said that in the book. She was in love with her problem husband.
Well I'm glad I'm hearing this by people who were really there and saw it all happen. Hiding beneath the rugs or curtains or wherever you were able to fit. Because by my comment I'm only speaking from what I saw on Wendy Williams interview. But thanks for the info. I can really go on with my life now.
@@spicyhot2552 Why are you every where? Whitney was indeed in love with Robyn!
@@ajleed2933 Whitney also loved Bobby and CHOSE to marry him..I think Whitney cared for Robyn but not the way she LOVED Bobby .Robyn even said she knew it.

Why so simple....you don't know what love she had shown Whitney Houston....evidently she was not fazed by it because she moved on with here life...
Whitney was very lucky to have Robyn in her life as long as she did. She is such a smart woman and her devotion is clear. It's too bad she was eventually pushed out. It's too bad she couldn't help Whitney in her battle against addiction. But Robyn deserved her own life and I'm glad she has had that opportunity. I hope her book sells well. It's a beautiful story of friendship and it feels extremely honest and real. I hope a movie is made about it. I'm glad there was a happy ending for Robyn. Though I'm sure she would love to still have whitney alive and even in her life though it seemed like that couldn't really happen in a healthy way, unfortunately.
I got Robyn Crawford book.
It’s a pretty great book to read.
This book take me back where people in the 80 era and 90 era are very secretive about sexuality identity and drugs issues. I remember growing up in 1990. We don’t talk about drugs and sexuality when I was a kids. Because being gay and lesbian even transgender and crackhead is shunned. I’m glad that Robyn talk about it in pure detail how 1980 and 1990 was at that time.
Anyway, I’m gonna finish up this Robyn Crawford book.
I finished it. It was a good read
I really enjoyed the book. It was a solid read from front to back. Wasn't as salacious as it could of been.
I agree
That s good. I'm gonna read it once I get my hands on it...I wish there was more Whitney bios. Because as famous as she was, I really don't know that much about her. I think the woman wanted peace quiet and privacy but the media itself was no help to Whitney's lifestyle and helped led to her downfall and death. I'm sorry she couldn't kick her drug habit once and for all.
If you were a little kid, how you know what they talked about, and what they was not talking about. I guess the school teach them now. My bag!
When Whitney’s career was about to blow up she was told that it if it cam out that she was bisexual and in a relationship with a woman it would hinder her career and that she needed to break it off with her and after that Robyn was ostracized from Whitney’s life by her family and her management
It gives me comfort to know that Whitney had a deep love for the LORD WHO gave her breath, and that she recognized the way HE'D gifted her. I always loved Whitney because she just seemed so real people...

Robyn Crawford is such a Class Act💯n FYI: I Recently got the Pleasure to Meet Her so Beautiful n Humble n Glad She’s telling Her Story Thank u😀👍💜
If a person is telling their story then they should not spend a lot of time tripping on a Fling of their youth...they should tell about who they are and not how they think someone else felt or feels...Js...so Classy to Kiss and Tell especially when someone is DEAD and cannot defend themselves....
Robyn Crawford was a Loyal Friend She Would Beat Bobbi Brown Ass & He Couldn't Make Her Leave
Well said Robyn! I loved Robyns portrayal in the Whitney movie. Robyn is the definition of a REAL friend.
Very well spoken and intelligent. She’s so respectful of how she talks about Whitney 🙏🏽❤️
I appreciate the book she tells the story especially how she speaks of Whitney. She loved her she was her friend. The sexual relationship was short lived. She respected Whitney and her decision.
The only one who truly took care of, Ms. Houston. Robyn Crawford is an angel.
I’ve heard many people speak who were “close” to Whitney. Not her mother, not her brothers, not anyone has spoken so in depth and passionate as Robyn. Only God knew what Whitney was going through, but there was a kind of love that God only knows.
Robyn is amazing. While I completely understand her maturity and acceptance of Whitney's decision, I still feel broken hearted for the pain she went through watching not only Whitney's separation from her, but also her self destruction. For someone who clearly loved Whitney so deeply, it was probably the most frustrating position to ever be in.
They both are such great souls....them together must have had such an amazing vibe and energy
Wow Heartbreaking i feel the hurt 💔when Robyn see Whitney through the window looking beautiful. Whitney and Robyn share a Higher Love 💞💞💞 and they where there for each other. Whitney Love Jesus more than anything
Young folks have flings of I guess in this case all sorts..they usually don't stay stuck for Years...people normally move on....
That's right, she loved Jesus the most. I understand it. Robyn, God bless you girl.😇💜🐨
She was silent for so long!! This woman must have been through hell!!!
Guilt more less.. quite as kept. Robyn need counselling too !
she has been where she was to go and if hell that may have been on her...her silence that was on her...What would she have been talking for...?
I think she has nothing but LOVE for Whitney. She could have written a book years ago on her relationship for a big profit. She waited. She really, really LOVED her.
What a dignified and lovely woman,Whitney was lucky to have had her in her life.
I’m not so sure. I saw her as possessive and thought she was feeding her drugs when I saw them together in the studio. It’s only now looking back I see how manipulated Whitney was. That jealousy thing was raging. No one was going to hurt Whitney yet robyn warned me don’t look or speak to Whitney as I’m going in to do backup vocals. This was at Kashif studios RIP Whitney. I remember her chain smoking, I think doing coke , but when it came time to sing it was gorgeous❤️ I heard her sing in this small room. Just beautiful and right on cue.
So they had a story when they were not even 18 Y. O
And people want to think Whitney was lesbian
She was not
As many young people, she had an experience
But she was really in love with Bobby Brown
Agreed. I think she was in the very least bisexual or curious and may have been struggling with her sexuality but we can't deny that she wanted Robyn in the same way. It's apparent that they were very attracted to each other.
@@MA-rn2xp Whitley got touched by a female as a kid and it confused her if that didn’t happened she would’ve gave messed with Robyn Whitney was crazy in love with Bobby going to the hood to pay ransoms for him!
My mother, who came out in 1985 with three little kids (and who had Whitney's debut album, the cover of which is one of my first memories) called it years ago about Whitney's sexuality.
I don't believe she and Whitney had an affair. PEOPLE always tell things after someone dies but does not say one thing when they are alive.
I respect Robyn Crawford she is a lovely and great friend. She speaks with the truth and so respectfully. Blessing to her and family. 🙏
That's not fair, tho. Whitney's not here to defend herself. She's so particular with her words, why?! For God sake please let Whitney rest in peace!
I agree it's not right why didn't she write this book when Whitney was alive I understand that she is doing this so respectful!
“Defend herself” from what?? There were no accusations here
She loved her so much
Such a sad story.
I can understand that she loved Whitney, but I wish she could have found the strength to move on and find someone who loved her back.
She's been married with children for years. She describes how she felt at that time in her life. it was a very short time but still significant. I think Robyn did this so that others could not use it to shame her best friend or to cheapen what they had.
I feel sorry for Robyn. You can tell she was and still is deeply in love with Whitney. Obviously the love wasnt reciprocated on a romantic level. And it's sad because she was so devoted to Whitney and still is. I feel like Robyn deserved better. To hear her talk about how she wished Whitney was preparing a place at the table for her was heartbreaking.
Yes..Robyn was IN love with Whitney. Whitney was not IN love with Robyn ..Whitney cared for Robyn as a friend .
...you have a fling and you deserve....WHAT?....just because U are Obsessed with a Superstar does not make them your Great Love....
Whitney was in love too, their romance lasted very long, it had to end though but they still remained close as they always were, just without the sexual aspect. When two people are connected sex is not the only pillar that holds them together, most people don't understand this. If homophobia did not exist, these two had a pretty solid chance of staying romantically together throughout their lives.
@@MegaThefuture Whitney was not in love with her. And, let's be real, Whitney was molested by a woman as a child and that screwed her up....but she knew it screwed her up. But for that encounter, she never would've been with Robyn -- the older woman who took advantage of her... Whitney loved and was attracted to men, not women.
@@rachybaby72 I agree people always forget that after that Whitney was confused but she had crazy love for man
So well spoken and Robyn was gorgeous in her youth.
Awwww. She’s sincere and lovely.
Oh my gosh. This woman loved Whitney so much she d settle just for being friends to continue being a part of her life and be there for her. I dont think she EVER stopped loving her more than friends but she just knew there was no future for them in that time nor could there ever be. She loved Whitney so much she d settle seeing her happy even if it wasnt her. Though in her little comment of "she wish it was her" those deeper feelings she held down n supressed for the sake of their friendship creeped up. She like an amazing person i can understand why she and whitney loved each other the way they did.
Breaks my heart that they both knew they could have never been together the way they wanted to...
If they were allowed to be together, Whitney s life may not still have been perfect but it no doubt would be healthier with Robyns energy n hers n their connection. Though Whitney like us all still had her inner demons to face. They just seem nicely suited. Not sure how much of herself Whitney gave to Robyn but seemed Robyn was quite giving.
Such lovely energy ❤
Such a lovely woman who understands true unconditional love
Robyn waited the appropriate amount of time to speak her truth regarding her relationship with Whitney & you just know that she turned down some huge offers from publishers to wrote a tell all after Houston's passing.
So happy to hear he side of the story and it is beautiful in deed...
I love Robyn so much……I can see why Whitney wanted her by her side….she has such a calming persona…..such positive energy……in a world as chaotic as the entertainment industry you definitely need a person with those qualities around you
I love this lady....I could listen to her all day
Love me unconditionally ❤️
few ppl are lucky enough to ever have a friend like this. my takeaway from this is a reminder that unconditional love really exists
She’s a wonderful person and I’m so happy Whitney got a true friend in her lifetime, even if in the end she couldn’t be with Robyn.
Her book made me understand Whitney - the person more than I ever did. And made me miss her even more terribly ❤️❤️
I wish EVERYONE would let Whitney rest. True or not Whitney didn’t tell this story but Robin truly has. Everyone has capitalized on her.
Can't handle the truth? This women has the right to tell her story that happens to include Houston. It's not Houstons world.
Amen! No need to share this information.
Even you a mere stranger is speaking on Whitney Houston how much more someone who spent over 2 decades with her ?? Who do you think you are to tell Robyn not to speak about her best friend???
Robyn really comes across so sincere and loving. God Bless her.
SOOOOO Y'ALL GOING TO ACT LIKE YALL DIDN'T SEE HER LAUGH AT HER WATER BOTTLE AT THE 3:12 MARK✌️🏃🏻♀️🏃♀️
Tasha Jackson 🤣🤣🤣
Tasha Jackson Stahhp! 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂😂 I think the interviewer got nervous listen to his cough 😂
Cuz it made a noise. That was her "Oops" face.
I think she has Dentures she probably was just adjusting them
Just so much respect for Robin. Loyalty and integrity.
Wow Robin is one Beautiful classy woman & the way she speaks about her friend Whitney Houston is so loving 🥰 & respectful. She really admired the the type of woman Whitney was & she was a “ REAL FRIEND “ ride/or die & loyal. We all can benefit from a friend like Robin. I firmly believe that if Robin would’ve been in Whitney Houston’s life a little while longer Whitney would still be here. But she definitely stayed the course I feel that as a “ Best friend “ you want the best for your friend & she couldn’t just stand by & watch Whitney self destruct
Too many people focus on the sexual relationship instead of the FRIENDSHIP. Look, I remember when WH first hit the scene that there were questions about her sexuality. Was WH Gay, bi, pan, etc.? Who knows and who gives a damn! Did you not HEAR Robyn say they didn't use labels? Robyn has been consistent in every interview I've seen. Unlike WH's family, Robyn is one of the few people that loved WH and had her BEST interests at heart and didn't view her as a cash cow. Robyn accepted WH as is, warts and all (unlike Cissy). I think there is alot that Robyn held back out of respect. I think the same people that praised Bobby's book/movie for telling his "truth" are the same people bashing Robyn for telling hers.
Donna D. Thank you. Agree w/you 100%. Couldn't care less if WH was Gay, Bi, etc. All I know is, she was a Gift from God & we became the unfortunate ones the day we lost, The Voice. RIP, Whitney. Will be thinkingof you Feb 11th & having a couple of shots of Hennessey in memory of you.
Her book was the only book that I believe because Ms. Crawford had no problem incriminating herself. She wasn’t trying to make herself look good. I felt she honestly loved Whitney more than anything.
I have no doubt in my mind if Whitney and Robyn were allowed to be together unjudged Whitney would still be here with us.
She has so much respect for their relationship...
I have so much respect for Robyn. I believe everything she said. RIP NIPPY
Robyn is a Beautiful Person.
I love Robyn! She’s a real one
I remember seeing Whitney at Madison Square Garden, when Whitney asked Robyn to bring her a jacket, and slip it on her on stage. There were murmurs in the audience, as if they didn’t all approve… too bad.
Love and caring… is love and caring. Robyn has a very peaceful vibe to her. She sounds very gracious and humble.
And let’s face it. Who among us, didn’t fall in love with Whitney.
