Robyn Crawford, Whitney Houston's best friend for years, says in a new memoir that they had a physical relationship — until the late singer got a record deal.
Seven years after the death of Whitney Houston, and well into a time of consciousness about gender and sexuality, one of the most sensational story lines in the late singer’s life has remained: What was the deal between the singer and her best friend, Robyn Crawford?
Crawford is finally spilling the tea on their relationship, which she says was indeed physical, at least for a short while. “We wanted to be together,” Crawford writes in a new memoir, “A Song for You: My Life With Whitney Houston,” excerpted byThe two met as counselors at a New Jersey summer camp in 1980, when Houston was 16, pushing 17, and Crawford was 19, according to the book. Immediately taken with each other, they eventually became romantic, but Houston apparently ended that when she signed a record deal in 1982.
