Yess you become so drawn to her energy!!! Whitney was a lucky 🍀 person once again to have someone like Robyn in her life. People do not understand how hard it is to find a solid friend like her let alone a family member abs trust me you only get one like that in a lifetime
@@commanderwatchman9994 bobby should've warned himself.. I highly doubt bobby was completely clueless walking into this( get to know someone before u married or sleep with em),..he was a young adult but still grown
She has the right to share her experience . She expresses herself respectfully and narrates her story lovingly ... Robyn seems like a very together, intelligent , genuine person ...
All that soft careful poetic talking don't fool me! This is a money grab! If not...tell it for free! Hell Frank Ocean did! Bye chile! She may have been into Whitney a little more than Whitney was her. I mean...she got "friend zoned". Bobby had outside children and everything...she was hooked on that ninja. Ijs...I this Robyn is embellishing a bit. I'm not buying the book. She has her OWN solo story to tell! Write a book about you and your wife's pregnancy journey. You say you were open to being with men on Wendy....tell us about that!!!...but oh nonono...youre not sharing all your secrets! Whitney was 16 and you were 19 when you met her...like come on gwarrrl!
No matter how long it's been since WH died and no matter how Robyn tries to hide it, i can still see the pain in her face from Whitney's death. She has a deep and abiding love for Whitney. Such loyalty as this is a very rare thing.
I see & hear it too .. Robyn is married but Whitney is a tough act to follow. Whitney’s personality was soooo 🔥🔥 she was hilarious,, had wit, classy, hood & most of all God fearing not to mention she was absolutely beautiful !!!! She sacrificed her prime years to take care of EVERYBODY & she brought her best friend with her for the ride to the top 💫💪🏽 Robyn traveled the world, experienced the rock & roll high roller lifestyle most dream about was her everyday life for years. All those memories they shared from youth to adult hood still haunts her 💔
The epitome of a friend who comes out of the shadows to pay tribute to her friend. She has not said a bad thing about Whitney and is doing her best to remind those who have forgotten, what a brilliant and wonderful person Whitney was. I am grateful she is doing it! Thank you, Robyn. I am sorry for your loss. Can't imagine it.
Then you can listen to a liar! Go to stoneanddigitaldave.com and Whitney's family is calling all this a lie. This ugly woman is just trying to sell a book!
I love how she thinks before answering....her answers are very clear. I can see why Ms. Whitney loved her. And of all the people to "tell" Ms.Whitney stories, she is worth listening to.
@sharon curry Whitney clearly loved Robyn. I heard Whitney say so out of her own mouth. Cissy didn't care for Robyn but even said herself that Whitney and Robyn cared a great deal for eachother. Some of the fans need to stop with the denials. I don't think Whit was in love with Robyn or anything but it's clear she loved her as a friend.
3:06 “This rumor wears track shoes. It has followed us from the beginning when nothing was happening...”. I admire Robyn’s grace. She is eloquent. Very happy for her. 💜
Being sexually abused as a child, growing up in the African-American Church and not accepting herself as a Lesbian, lead to drug abuse at a young age and decent into madness!!
Messy trashy she not Slick....there is no reason for her to be writing books and doing interviews....like what is the motive...no one asked her...nothing...on Whitney behalf....
You noticed that. The truth doesn't crack, but a lie will. She is the real deal. She lived a life with whitney and she has the right to tell her story. Whitney told her story many times and now it's Robyn's time. She's not bashing her, and that's all that matters.
Dawn Pratt she already said when she was alive that they were good friends and that they loved each other very much I do feel in my opinion that they were more than friends and it’s nothing wrong with that back in that time it was unheard of a lesbian relationship and she was also the princess of r and b why you think ppl didn’t like her with Bobby that’s because he had a bad reputation image was everything to Whitney I’m just saying her story doesn’t change ppl that are liars will mostly forget the lies they told but she didn’t and she’s been saying this for a while.
Real respect is taking the secrets you share with your best friend to your grave. Not exposing them needlessly in a book under the guise of "telling your truth" for financial gain.
She has every right. The tabloids had her in the news without her permission since the beginning of Whitney’s career. After her death, they made several documentaries/movies about Whitney with her likeness in it which were unauthorized. It’s her time to talk
@D Lucifer even whitney mom said she had a gut feeling whitney and ROBYN had something going on. If you saw her documentary last year her own family released even the security guards said they had a thing. So its actually true. This is no NEW news to Whitney's TRUE fans. We already knew
@Gordon Payne shut up everything isn't about race. Everybody almost love Whitney singing. Who give a damn about Bobby he was part of her problem. I black🙎🏿♀️
@Gordon Payne Music didn't become divided until the late 80's with gangsta rap. Up until then, it was music. When Whitney came out, popular music was not black or white, it was primarily dance, house, and techno. We jammed to everything. Google We Love the 80s. Anyone want a real history lesson on the 80s music, you can find the road map right here on RUclips.
@@creating1_c1999 really? So you’re just going to ignore the entire history of race records and rock n roll history of white artists ripping off black artists???
@@MiamiPush2theLimit you are sooo right WHITE ARTIST RIPPED OFF BLACK ARTIST ALLLLLLL THE TIME AND NEVER GOT THE RECOGNITION THEY TRULY TRULY DESERVED...
I bet she could tell stories about her time with Whitney and some of the goings on in Whitney’s family that could make your hair turn white! This is not about them, although she is as much respectful to them as she is to Whitney
No bride is going to change her mind the morning of her wedding and not marry the guy just because a friend said not to. Granted Eddie Murphy was right but she had to go through it to see it.
Whitney was a bad girl who was in love with a bad boy. Someone should have told him not to marry Nicole considering she was already sleeping around Hollywierd.
Wait, why was Eddie right? Because the marriage didnt last? Nah, whitney married someone who she felt was compatible to her personality. You sound like the white media that glorified Whitney as this high class, rich upbringing woman. Whitney was hood, and she wanted a man who could match that. Why do you think it didntnwork with Eddie, or Randall Cunningham? They both said Whitney was wild. Bobby is hood, was in music, and liked to party. Whitney was hood, in music, and liked to party. As their song said, they had all of that in common. Just like non celebrities, people date/marry who they have something in common with. It wasnt a mistake. Because the drugs took over and it didnt last doesnt make it a mistake. A mistake is when you know from the beginning its messed up, and you ignore it and go with it anyway. That's a mistake. I'm an outdoorsman. It's rare a brutha is an outdoorsman that hunts, camps, kayaks, etc. That's like me marrying a woman who is afraid to get a little dirty,wetz and afraid of the woods. Why would I do that? I know it's not going to last because we wont be able to share with each other. My daddy always told me this about relationships: Money doesnt keep the love. Sex doesnt keep the love. Kids womt keep the love. COMPATIBILITY KEEPS THE LOVE.
That is a lie Her mother has NEVET spoke bad of her. Only said she didn't like the idea of the gay stuff cus of her upbringing and she knew it being in the spotlight could be damaging. IF you are a true fan of her you know her Mother loved her deeply.
@@dawnpratt846 if you listen to the original interview you'll see that's not really true. whitney was harsh about the gossip but kept saying thank you to wendy for playing her music. and then she was cussing her out while telling her let's get together sometime lmao.
@Adele C. shut the fuck up why dont u go tell the fuckin pastors n so called reverends fuckin on their wife with woman in the churches n all this pedophillia that goes on in the church matter of fact why dont u worry about ur own fuckin sin
God , and her family knows more about Whitney than her. No, cannot feel her pain and discussing personal details about Whitney in a book or movie that she never wanted out in the first place . Robyn was nothing more than a tryst , experiment for Whitney who apparently chose Bobby over her. In which she has had a hard time accepting that Nippy passed up on her cat.
Her book was beautifully written, it gave me a look into Whitney as a person. Her spirit, her heart, no doubt they shared a unique friendship. Wishing Robyn all the best
Many young people experiment sexually, figuring themselves out - NOT Earth shattering. Robyn & Whitney loved each other on every level. Her family did more harm to her than anybody else!
I grew up in the 80s. It was earth shattering then. Most often parents disowned gay kids. Could only refer to partners of 30 years "roommates. Things have really evolved. Likely it may have ended her career.
I’ve seen Ms. Crawford speak on this several times. Unlike others in recent documentaries, books etc, *this* woman is educated. She is classy. She has a moral compass. She eloquently and lovingly shares her truths. Her memories. Her pain. You can feel she has done so with love. She never before sold her story or had anything negative to say. She very well could have....like Bobby’s sister! I for one applaud her bravery, and I’m saddened to know 30+ yrs ago as I enjoyed Whitney at the height of her fame, I was doing so by a business and a world that would not have accepted a lesbian pop princess. I still enjoy Whitney’s gift of song and always will. God speed and much happiness to you, Ms. Crawford. 🙏🏻
Robyn is telling her truth. I really respect the fact that she hasn't been trashing anyone. I won't read the book. I just want to remember Whitney for her immense talent, great songs, good movies and her concert that I saw in 2000. She was flawless. R.I.P. ❤❤❤
@@JOBS4usNOW you must not have ears. She never said that. She spoke her truth and honored WH in the process....since for years the media tried to expose them as lesbian lovers.
@@lauraalt7863 Robin defended Whitney. You must not be into pop culture...her name been scandalized since she passed. Robin redeemed it...Including within the religious values she carried. Believe me (born and raised in the church) what Robin shared meant A LOT!!
@Ladeenique that nobody is making money off of the very talented Whitney Houston and no I don't follow the pop culture 24/7 I have a life and a family.That bitch is just tying to sell a book 🤑 what are you Robyn 's spokesman 🤔
I really admire Robyn. When the family trashed her (especially that awful "big" brother Gary), she needed to speak up and tell her story. I'm so proud of her for doing this!
Wasn't it Gary who was on the Oprah Winfrey show crying his eyes out after admitting that he was the one who introduced Whitney to Cocaine at an early age. What respect did he have for his own sister. Whitney family let her down. She was not even on taking terms with her Father when he died as according to Whitney he had swindled her out of money as her Manager. Where was her Mother in all of this. Her brothers and no doubt their wives were all on Whitney payroll. Also that money soaking manager of hers Clive Davis was a leech. He should have allowed her to heal fully after she came out of rehab, instead he was on her to get her back in the studio recording. This women became famous St the age of 23 and did not have the time or space to live a normal life.
@@CelestialGatez it’s so painful that those who were so neglectful of her, who did not have her best interests at heart, and only wanted to use her, especially people like Gary, it’s so painful that they are the ones now reaping the fruits of her labour.
you got to understand Gary's position Gary was molested by Dionne Warwick's sister and so was Whitney and when you look at Dionne Warwick's sister and you look at this woman back in the day they favored each other. hair style etc . so he believed that the trauma plus Whitney's mother having affair with the minister in the church and the shame and humiliation and the anger that she, he saw Robin as being very predatory towards his younger sister.. they went through allot as children being molested in his eyes, ..that was the main reason why she was involved with this woman ...that she was an extension of that trauma... so you got to understand where Gary's coming from Gary was raped by a woman and so was Whitney.
She said nothing damaging about Nippy it’s her truth and it’s needed regardless if Whitney here or not it’s her story and since the queen been gone everyone been trying to tell her truth that’s unfair so I’m 💯 & ten percent supportive of her decision to come forward she’s waited years and held her loyalty to Whitney so salute to her
All these interviewers ask about is some sexual relationship, The book is awesome! Focus on the friendship not what was going on in people's bedrooms! Damn!
You're right. At least the actor named Roman Castle had the decency to set things straight in his book written a few years ago called "On My Way to Hollywood." It wasn't solely about Whitney but he dedicated a bonus chapter to her that was EVERYTHING. Robyn knows him and I can tell he was speaking truth because Robyn mentioned similar things in HER book as well. Definitely worth reading!
Joan cummins 😳🧐No she’s not ! Whitney had a few isolated experiences while on coke at a very young age with Robin over a short period of time and (after being molested by her aunt). Then tells Robin she didn’t want to continue asked her for unconditional love without the physical part and handed Robin a Bible. Then dated and married men happily. Unfortunately drugs ruined that relationship as well but she was truly in love with Bobby a male born man! She had distanced her self from a jealous Robin who couldn’t be just s friend at some point. Now Robin is turning her story into a secret love affair !’wtf Robin like many lesbians fell for Her straight best friend, made sure a vulnerable young Whitney depended On her being one of Whitneys only trusted friend when everyone was wanting to Use and take from Her ...Robin like a manipulative vulture tried to flip the relationship into something it wasn’t. To avoid losing a friendship or hurt her feelings Whitney blames “the industry” to avoid continued physical advances from Robin sometimes those closest to you are the most dangerous. Now Robin is picking over the 💀dead. She’s been in media training next to Whitney her whole life she knows how to do this. She’s betrayed her trust and twisted her legacy for self Gratification period ! If Whitney wanted to be a lesbian she would have stayed in the sexual relationship and pretended to date around not fall in love with a man. Stop 🛑 the propaganda!
Robyn has not berated or make tawdry claims about Whitney. She speaks of her friendship, she speaks I'd her accomplishments. Sex is not explicit in her conversations about Whitney. I respect that what happened personally between them is their business. There is a big difference in the way she speaks of Whitney than the man in Whitney's life, and that difference is respect.
I BELIEVE EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF ROBYNS MOUTH. This is EXACTLY how i thought about her amd Whitney from day one WITHOUT knowing either of them personally. RIP to the greatest and most beautiful singer to EVERRRRR exist. RIP to little christina as well. ❤
I remember being a child in the 80's and their relationship was on the cover of the Enquirer or Star magazine. Now every female artist says she's bisexual. It's no big deal now , unless you're a man, but then it was career ending. It's sad that someone as Wonderful as Robyn, Whitney couldn't be with, but someone as destructive and abusive as Bobby was fine.
The Bible speaks of not abusing your body and also there was a huge stigma against drugs use in the 80s where today its advocated yet WH still did what she wanted so I believe if she truly desired to be with a woman she would have she did everything else
You know Whitney loved both Bobby and Robyn in different ways. Bobby wasn't an option that Whitney took to hide her bisexuality, she genuinely loved him and he her despite their troubled marriage. People need to stop judging Bobby Brown. He married too young and was not mature enough to handle Whitney fame. People have to remember he was part of a successful teen group and followed with a successful solo career. When he married Whitney his career took a back seater, and that was a difficult thing to live in the shadow of Whitney. Further to this Whitney had her own demons before she married Bobby, and they were both destructive towards each other. Bobby has grown as a person and is at peace with himself and life with his family. I don't think this should be about bashing Bobby but just understanding the other side of Whitney and respecting the honour that her friend Robyn wants to hear hold her memory by. Something that none of her so called family has done since she passed. They just took the opportunity to use Whitney as a cash cow, and still making money after she has gone.
@@celiasmith8662 I think you are being tooooooooo easy on Bobby. According to Robyn, New Edition members and Cissy, and her staff he did a lot of fu&ked up things to this woman unprovoked. This man is now 50 and people still expect us to tip toe over the feelings of a man who to name a few while engaged to her impregnated his child's mother for the second time, spat in her face numerous of times, incurred legal fees from sexual harassment suits to drug possession, not to mention laying hands on her. All of this because her talents surpassing his...oh hell nah. Bottomline if it wasn't Whitney it would have been some other woman's story of abuse with this man. He gave NE hell when he was in it, He could barely finish his solo project because he was so damn high according to the producers of Don't be Cruel that Ralph was asked to step in. He was a ticking time bomb that was on its way to explosion.
Many people quote:”live in your truth”. Nevertheless, very few people do. Robin has chosen to live in her truth.This takes courage. Peace & Blessings upon Robin. Rest In Peace Whitney🙏🏽.
Living in your truth, should not come at the cost of exposing a friend, someone that you claim to love. True friends don't do this especially after your friend dies and can't do anything about it.
@T.E. V. Bobby did *no* coke *before* meeting Whitney. Whitney started useing drugs at 14, thanks to her brother Michael who sold it, Bobby started New Edition at 12, but was only 8 at the time Whitney was 14, so... #basicmath
"It brought in the clouds..." and the way that Robyn's face got sad and she looked down immediately after saying it. How heartbreaking. 🥹💔 She really loved Whitney, the person.
The show with Sammy Davis Junior was awesome 👏 I watched this on RUclips. Great respect for this lady, Whitney respected and loved Robyn that’s all that counts. 🙏❤️
Thanku!!! My thoughts exactly. This is so undermining. I knew she wasn't sincere when she came on Wendy. Whitney couldn't stand Wendy Williams, yet you call yourself a friend and help her ratings? Smh
@@dansefureva7664 That's such a good point! Whitney cussed Wendy out because she was constantly in her business. If Robyn was a true friend that would be the LAST show she go on!
Right! You should read Roman Castle's book "On My Way to Hollywood" where he dedicates a bonus chapter to Whitney WITHOUT telling all her business. I personally think Robyn copied him in some ways......from his book cover to some of the subjects he touched on. I read that book in record time because he wrote the hell out of it. Robyn has known him for years and seemed a bit jealous that Whitney gave him more attention than her.
This is one classy and elegant lady! She speaks with so much grace. Not one interview that I've seen has she bad-mouthed anyone. She deserves to tell her story. Especially when so much has been shared about her in movies and through speculation.
I don’t care she wrote a book, so no one can judge butttt remember they put her in the movie so she has a right. Only thing I ask is would she do this if Whitney was alive.
Asia Nagi Although their romantic relationship is what everyone is focused on, to me it seems she wrote this book more so for people to understand even though Whitney's life had its complications her talent was literally extraordinary, and above it all she was a misunderstood, beautiful soul. I don't think her intent in doing this book is to taint her legacy but more to restore it.
Robin sounds like a very intellectual woman with Whitney’s heart in mind !! I haven’t her say anything negative about Whitney or anybody just her truth !! What a friend !! Her book should be an interesting read !! 🤗
So many have spoken on Robyn and Whitney’s friendship/relationship...many very negatively. Robyn has the right to set the record straight and tell her story.
@Karen Sanders oh yes she does from doing it in the car with Whitney to sneaking her into her Mama's house. Also how she got dogged out by Jermaine, Eddie and Bob. Im really struggling to read this book because I feel like Whitney wanted these moments in her life to be private
Whitney was not bi or gay, experimenting sexually as a youth does NOT make you bi or gay. That is why Robyn is still salty. Whitney left that in the rearview mirror many years before Bobby.
It is very soothing and a relief to listen the story from Whitney's closest friend ..all those memories with her...Robyn was very lucky person to be close to the greatest female singer on earth...
I'll never forget in 1986 I saw Whitney in concert at a college campus in Connecticut. I was 16 years old at this time. It was her first concert after her first album dropped. Well before she became a superstar. It will be a night I'll never forget!
There is something about this women is comes across profoundly genuine, classy, poised. Not prefect, no one is. She 's known WH before stardom and remained loyal forever. She selling a book that will sell, but still remain loyal in everything she says.
I can see the love for Whitney in Robyn’s eyes. I can see the pain in those eyes too. I’m happy she told her truth I always feel bad for her... I believe she has a pure spirit ♥️
I didn't know about this at first ... I thought she had evil intentions BUT You can tell she's actually very genuine and that she really loved Whitney ♥💚❤ The Real Devil is Pat " Houston " !!! I'm disgusted by Pat and her fraudulent behavior
They loved each other and had a great friendship and relationship. Whitney would probably be relieved that the record is being set straight. Let it be. You can see how much it pains Robyn that Whitney was always under attack from the media and never got to really enjoy her stardom. Whitney is gone and Robyn loved her and still loves her. Whitney obviously loved her very deeply to keep her so close. Let it be people. I honestly believe this is why Whitney had to do so much drugs. She had to hide everything. Especially the woman she loved very deeply at one time. Drugs was Whitney's way of coping and escaping.
@sharon curry it's clearly in Robyn's head...Whitney dropped the 'uniform' of her public dress up, and had opportunity while on descending heavily into drugs to profess her love for Robyn...but didn't.
I’m proud Robyn is telling her truth. Their relationship was beautiful! I’m certain if Whitney could have embraced her true-self, stayed with Robyn... she’d still be here.
Thanks for speaking up for Whitney! I didn't personal know Whitney but you couldn't tell my friends that wasn't my Aunt. I've always defended and advocated for her; She's human and she was entitled to her mistakes. Yes she was in the public eye, no one knew her true story but those really close to her. People do stuff everyday to numb what they feel; But because she was famous people thought it was okay to judge and scrutinize her. Big props to Robin for being able to stand up and speak out. Whitney will always be my favorite singer. Rest easy songbird you still have people down here on your side. Love you always Whitney❤
Well, her brother admitted it on TV to his mother as well. But that family like a lot of these families have a lot of Secrets. I believe her mother already knew about Whitney's drug use. I don't think it was an accident. And I don't blame Eddie for saying that she was making a mistake. She ended up introducing Bobby to cocaine, because people don't like to do it alone. She needed a partner in crime and she found one.
Beautiful book. Such a tribute honnoring Whitney as a person ,honest and beautiful. Can You imagine if Whitney never married Bobby. People can say today stuff,but being anything but str8 back then was not acceptable.. And for women, black women... Satanized.
Being sexually abused as a child, growing up in the African-American Church and not accepting herself as a Lesbian, lead to drug abuse at a young age and decent into madness!!
@@SuperBullaMan her not facing her sin was the issue rather than face it with God Almighty she ran from God in front of everyone and wasnt honest. She had pressure from all sides though i believe. She should've gotten counseling after her incident . If you say you believe in God there's nothing he cant get you through. The question is was Whitney owned by anyone or was she free to make her own decisions? God first everything else second even yourself. Because God would never cause you to do what is not right for you doesnt matter what it is. Stand firm!!! Even if you have a religious family your relationship with God is yours first. Plenty of talented people going to hell i hope she made it.
I love Robyn. Very well spoken . So much love and respect she has in her heart for Whitney. It's about damn time that someone shed a light on Queen Whitney. Remember their legacy not tragedy. #Respect
I agree. Her friend Roman Castle did just that in his book "On My Way to Hollywood" about his experiences in the entertainment industry. He knew both Robyn and Whitney and included a bonus chapter highlighting his special friendship to them both. He didn't disrespect Whitney on any level. I tore through that book like a forest fire. Lol.
the sad story of Whitney shows us what happens when people underprivilidge things that are important in their lives for the sake of being approved by the society (or in fear of the society). I wonder what would have happened if Whitney didn't say to Robyn "we should stop being phisicall cause the people will take advantage of it". What scenario of life would we have if the peple stopped interfering in their private lives? Maybe the relationship between Robyn and Whitney would have gotten closer and Whitney would be alive today? It's really hard to say, everyone's got their own life path. However, I do believe Robyn has been the best person (the purest spirit) in Whitney's life that she was ever related to.
Robyn Crawford and Eddie Murphy knew Bobby Brown was Whitney Houston downfall. If Whitney Houston was married to Robyn Crawford. She’ll still been living today. I read her book right now. It’s a great book about Whitney Houston. Robyn didn’t trash Whitney Houston name in that book. Robyn witness Whitney rise and fall in her career. Robyn is a real friend to Whitney Houston.
Sophia Wilson I’m talking about that Whitney choosing Bobby Brown over Robyn and Eddie. Because of the drugs and the party lifestyle. I know that Bobby didn’t introduce Whitney Houston into the drugs. It’s was Whitney has a huge drug issues because of her family. Whitney want to please her family. So, She married with him. Plus Bobby Brown allows Whitney to do drugs and party with him. If Eddie Murphy was still dating Whitney. Eddie will put her ass in rehab real quick. No one can’t control Whitney Houston but herself and Cissy. Whitney Houston is a wild child who is misunderstood in her life. Her greedy family, substance abuse, homophobia people, mom cissy who doesn’t accept who she is as a lesbian women. Even the industry murder Whitney Houston.
messiah e Whitney Houston choose Bobby Brown because she knew that Bobby Brown was her escape from homophobia society and Cissy Houston. People love straight celebrities that are the facts. There are people right now. Are mad at Robyn Crawford because she confirmed that her and Whitney are lesbian lovers. Even some people don’t believe Robyn Crawford. However , she is a happy married lesbian women with wife and two kids. They don’t want to see Whitney Houston as a lesbian or bisexual. I understand why Whitney choose Bobby over Robyn. People don’t want to accept gay people because they are homophobia and straight up religious frantic like Whitney mom Cissy. Cissy is straight up old school religious frantic women. She doesn’t accept Whitney Houston to be gay. Cissy believe gay is sinful and evil. That’s how Cissy was raise in the church and her religious beliefs. There are a lot of people who are just like Cissy right now.
There's something insightful and poignant about Robyn's approach to describing Whitney and her meaning. Robyn clearly was a friend but she's also an advocate and she champions Whitney lovingly.
Ok. I was saddened by Whitney’s passing. Still am sad because to me her life is an object lesson about what the world can do to you when you are talented and beautiful I’ve now read Cissy, Bobby and Robyn’s books. Oddly it seems that Cissy and Robyn developed and grudging respect for each other What is also clear to me is that Whitney was a cash cow for her family and friends Whitney was not a singer songwriter so she depended on touring a lot. They worked her into the ground. With her early exposure to drugs they eventually became a crutch This whole business is sad. I do like Robyn, but it’s obvious to me that Whitney wanted her early relationship with Robyn to remain private. It makes me smh that details are available now that she cannot address
I see your point. But recently, there's been all kind of documentaries and books lying about Whitney and Robyn's story. It's not like this was a secret up to now. This woman is just setting the record straight by telling the truth respectfully. Wouldn't you do that for your dear friend? Whitney's reputation has been dragged through the mud, but Robyn loves her enough to pick it up and dust if off lovingly by reminding us that Whitney was more than just another tabloid personality. I don't judge Robyn on this one.
This interview sounds like a acceptance for accepting gay life happy, God destroyed the city of Sodom and Gommorah,according to the new movie Whitney knew She definitely did not want to be hell bounded for that life,She also learned her desire was to be with a man, someone she marry and have a male-female productive family which came Bobbi Kristina, the rest of the story is history, her story should rip of the greatest memories and not be getting those ugly skeletons out of the closet, her voice was spiritually gifted and only God knows heart, rip to her meaningful greatest memories.
Thank you Robyn for sharing YOUR story in this experience!!! You have encouraged me to continue to be unapologetically me, and not allow ANYONE to tell my story except me... 🥰😘😘
Thank you so much Robyn for finally sharing your truth (which I knew all along). Whitney would still be alive Today is people accepted the LGBTQ community. LONG LIVE WHITNEY HOUSTON!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BABE!!
Really? Did u read the excerpts on Bobby? I def blame him. He was a monster. She was in an abusive sadistic marriage. She was a social drug user before Bobby she became a full blown addict after marrying him.
You see Robyn did drugs she didn't act fool, those are choices they made. Everyone has to be accountable so you can't blame him for her drug use. I'm talking about the abuse. Bobby did not ruin her Whitney made her own bad decisions a d Bobby made his.
@@brnsis Yes I can. Read the book and see how he treated her. The emotional and physical abuse would lead anyone to drugs in order to cope. She never got in his way he got in hers. She was a recreational drug user before Brown she became an addict afterwards. The book proves that

A CHOSEN VESSEL I see that 2
I see & hear it too .. Robyn is married but Whitney is a tough act to follow. Whitney’s personality was soooo 🔥🔥 she was hilarious,, had wit, classy, hood & most of all God fearing not to mention she was absolutely beautiful !!!! She sacrificed her prime years to take care of EVERYBODY & she brought her best friend with her for the ride to the top 💫💪🏽 Robyn traveled the world, experienced the rock & roll high roller lifestyle most dream about was her everyday life for years. All those memories they shared from youth to adult hood still haunts her 💔
💯💯💯💯
@sharon curry : the world is doomed anyway. I'm just not judging their relationship like you are.
And that's the message she's trying to convey. They had a special love between them. Why? Because Whitney was special..
I love and appreciate Robyn's voice, articulation, and perspectives. ❤🙏
The epitome of a friend who comes out of the shadows to pay tribute to her friend. She has not said a bad thing about Whitney and is doing her best to remind those who have forgotten, what a brilliant and wonderful person Whitney was. I am grateful she is doing it! Thank you, Robyn. I am sorry for your loss. Can't imagine it.
I would listen to Robyn talk all day.....calming voice
Then you can listen to a liar! Go to stoneanddigitaldave.com and Whitney's family is calling all this a lie. This ugly woman is just trying to sell a book!
JOBS4usNOW Whitney’s family were messy and never accepting of Whitney I would take their word with a grain of sand
Her voice is calming just not talk about Whitney's business .
I totally agree and it is about selling a damn book, this isn't her story to tell .
@Adele C. who are we to judge it's not our life .
I love how she thinks before answering....her answers are very clear. I can see why Ms. Whitney loved her. And of all the people to "tell" Ms.Whitney stories, she is worth listening to.
@sharon curry Whitney clearly loved Robyn. I heard Whitney say so out of her own mouth. Cissy didn't care for Robyn but even said herself that Whitney and Robyn cared a great deal for eachother. Some of the fans need to stop with the denials. I don't think Whit was in love with Robyn or anything but it's clear she loved her as a friend.
She has a very calming voice. I can listen to her talk all day
My thoughts exactly @Just Joi . She has a very soothing and relaxing voice experience .
Me too. All day.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's like ASMR. 😊Robyn's voice should be featured in every spa.
You right her voice make people sit and listen
3:06 “This rumor wears track shoes. It has followed us from the beginning when nothing was happening...”. I admire Robyn’s grace. She is eloquent. Very happy for her. 💜
Being sexually abused as a child, growing up in the African-American Church and not accepting herself as a Lesbian, lead to drug abuse at a young age and decent into madness!!
Messy trashy she not Slick....there is no reason for her to be writing books and doing interviews....like what is the motive...no one asked her...nothing...on Whitney behalf....
@@chaideelove1819 bobby brown didn't ask Whitney either
@@chaideelove1819 actually people have been asking and speculating for decades and Robyn is the LAST, very LAST person to speak so.......
She says the same thing over and over again so she’s not lying her story don’t change.
You noticed that. The truth doesn't crack, but a lie will. She is the real deal. She lived a life with whitney and she has the right to tell her story. Whitney told her story many times and now it's Robyn's time. She's not bashing her, and that's all that matters.
Okay , but it's her side and Whitney isn't here today to tell her side in which she hadn't and took it to her grave , with her as secrets do .
Dawn Pratt she already said when she was alive that they were good friends and that they loved each other very much I do feel in my opinion that they were more than friends and it’s nothing wrong with that back in that time it was unheard of a lesbian relationship and she was also the princess of r and b why you think ppl didn’t like her with Bobby that’s because he had a bad reputation image was everything to Whitney I’m just saying her story doesn’t change ppl that are liars will mostly forget the lies they told but she didn’t and she’s been saying this for a while.
At all. Same story. Same grace!
There is a immense feeling of relief to be able to TELL YOUR OWN STORY...no one tells it like the person who is in it! CONGRATS!
This interview speaks volumes on what it means to have the utmost respect for another human being. Thank you Robyn Crawford 💜🙏🏽
Robin was too old for women when it was 15 she was 19 if that had been a guy he would have been put in jail for statutory rape
Real respect is taking the secrets you share with your best friend to your grave. Not exposing them needlessly in a book under the guise of "telling your truth" for financial gain.
She has every right. The tabloids had her in the news without her permission since the beginning of Whitney’s career. After her death, they made several documentaries/movies about Whitney with her likeness in it which were unauthorized. It’s her time to talk
Good to know. Thanks for telling us that!
True
Even the documentaries today on whitney, robyn been mentioned constantly..
Here today gone tomorrow so, let's be clear she is doing a great way of doing what's right speaking from a wonderful place the heart.
Pat Houston has done so many interviews since Whitney Houston death. Ur absolutely right let her tell her story
I think she's a very kind intelligent and genuine person
Pauli B I do 2
She is incredibly well spoken. Quality human being, thats it. 💯
Clout chasing at its finest
@@chrismacks3640 Nope not this time hater
Adorable personne !!!!!!
I could hear Whitney's voice when Robyn was talking about when Eddie called. Miss you whitney!
@D Lucifer Oh shuddup
@D Lucifer even whitney mom said she had a gut feeling whitney and ROBYN had something going on. If you saw her documentary last year her own family released even the security guards said they had a thing. So its actually true. This is no NEW news to Whitney's TRUE fans. We already knew
@D Lucifer um sounds like you unnecessary hate your holding but hey ok.
@D Lucifer lol welp ok. Don't know me and I don't owe you that. Think however you want. Peace and blessings 😊
I heard "yes I am getting married, yes I am, yes I am" In Whitney's voice, movements and all!
@Gordon Payne shut up everything isn't about race. Everybody almost love Whitney singing. Who give a damn about Bobby he was part of her problem. I black🙎🏿♀️
Totally thought the same as well !!!
@Gordon Payne Music didn't become divided until the late 80's with gangsta rap. Up until then, it was music. When Whitney came out, popular music was not black or white, it was primarily dance, house, and techno. We jammed to everything. Google We Love the 80s. Anyone want a real history lesson on the 80s music, you can find the road map right here on RUclips.
@@creating1_c1999 really? So you’re just going to ignore the entire history of race records and rock n roll history of white artists ripping off black artists???
@@MiamiPush2theLimit you are sooo right WHITE ARTIST RIPPED OFF BLACK ARTIST ALLLLLLL THE TIME AND NEVER GOT THE RECOGNITION THEY TRULY TRULY DESERVED...
the Houston family did Robyn dirty, but she still seems so guarded
Agreed
@happyhappyjoyful exactly 👏
habbogigi mmhmm
I bet she could tell stories about her time with Whitney and some of the goings on in Whitney’s family that could make your hair turn white! This is not about them, although she is as much respectful to them as she is to Whitney
habbogigi I’m sure if she behaves like this they ha e good reason !
No bride is going to change her mind the morning of her wedding and not marry the guy just because a friend said not to. Granted Eddie Murphy was right but she had to go through it to see it.
He should've said something sooner.
He was an ex
Whitney was a bad girl who was in love with a bad boy. Someone should have told him not to marry Nicole considering she was already sleeping around Hollywierd.
happyhappyjoyful I know, people in the comment section made it seem they were just friends.
Wait, why was Eddie right? Because the marriage didnt last? Nah, whitney married someone who she felt was compatible to her personality. You sound like the white media that glorified Whitney as this high class, rich upbringing woman. Whitney was hood, and she wanted a man who could match that. Why do you think it didntnwork with Eddie, or Randall Cunningham? They both said Whitney was wild.
Bobby is hood, was in music, and liked to party. Whitney was hood, in music, and liked to party. As their song said, they had all of that in common. Just like non celebrities, people date/marry who they have something in common with. It wasnt a mistake. Because the drugs took over and it didnt last doesnt make it a mistake. A mistake is when you know from the beginning its messed up, and you ignore it and go with it anyway. That's a mistake.
I'm an outdoorsman. It's rare a brutha is an outdoorsman that hunts, camps, kayaks, etc. That's like me marrying a woman who is afraid to get a little dirty,wetz and afraid of the woods. Why would I do that? I know it's not going to last because we wont be able to share with each other.
My daddy always told me this about relationships:
Money doesnt keep the love. Sex doesnt keep the love. Kids womt keep the love. COMPATIBILITY KEEPS THE LOVE.
I haven’t heard nobody, Cissy included that defended Whitney’s legacy. Robyn is a class act!!
I don't see it that way , Whitney disliked Wendy and for her to be on her show was a slap in Whitney's face .
That is a lie Her mother has NEVET spoke bad of her. Only said she didn't like the idea of the gay stuff cus of her upbringing and she knew it being in the spotlight could be damaging. IF you are a true fan of her you know her Mother loved her deeply.
Bs she is a money hungry book selling sell out traitor cause whitney wouldn't of shared this
@@dawnpratt846 if you listen to the original interview you'll see that's not really true. whitney was harsh about the gossip but kept saying thank you to wendy for playing her music. and then she was cussing her out while telling her let's get together sometime lmao.
I said the same. She might be in on this money bag too
I love the way she is telling her experience. She is very respectful.
Robyn is tired of y’all. Lol
she's the one who waited all these years to tell this story clown season
Tired of lying 🤔
Fuck her that's not a friend it's about money , because that's a secret that even she Robin , should have taken to her grave .
It isn't her story to tell . STFU !
@Dawn Pratt 100 percent agreed 👍🏾Whitney Houston isn't here to defend herself 😇 it's all about 🤑 I don't think Whitney would want to be on blast.
Thank you Robyn. We loved Whitney so much. Thank you for loving her too.
@Adele C.
shut the fuck up why dont u go tell the fuckin pastors n so called reverends fuckin on their wife with woman in the churches n all this pedophillia that goes on in the church matter of fact why dont u worry about ur own fuckin sin
This is a woman that knows Whitney Houston more than any other individual. You can feel the pain yet it’s adorn with so much love.
Then she should have had more say in the movie
God , and her family knows more about Whitney than her. No, cannot feel her pain and discussing personal details about Whitney in a book or movie that she never wanted out in the first place . Robyn was nothing more than a tryst , experiment for Whitney who apparently chose Bobby over her. In which she has had a hard time accepting that Nippy passed up on her cat.
@@muzikphotography Whitney considered her family if you didn’t know. They where always together.
Her book was beautifully written, it gave me a look into Whitney as a person. Her spirit, her heart, no doubt they shared a unique friendship. Wishing Robyn all the best
I wanted her to get into more detail
What's the title of that book? Written by Robyn?
Her book was trash she used Whitney also
Many young people experiment sexually, figuring themselves out - NOT Earth shattering. Robyn & Whitney loved each other on every level. Her family did more harm to her than anybody else!
Beautifully said/written, Robyn was her ROCK.Her family were a detriment to her health and used drugs as much as WH and she paid for them as well.
Agreed.
JL Kitz 💯
I grew up in the 80s. It was earth shattering then. Most often parents disowned gay kids. Could only refer to partners of 30 years "roommates. Things have really evolved. Likely it may have ended her career.
sharon curry In your opinion .Theres no proof of that at all...
I’ve seen Ms. Crawford speak on this several times. Unlike others in recent documentaries, books etc, *this* woman is educated. She is classy. She has a moral compass. She eloquently and lovingly shares her truths. Her memories. Her pain. You can feel she has done so with love. She never before sold her story or had anything negative to say. She very well could have....like Bobby’s sister! I for one applaud her bravery, and I’m saddened to know 30+ yrs ago as I enjoyed Whitney at the height of her fame, I was doing so by a business and a world that would not have accepted a lesbian pop princess. I still enjoy Whitney’s gift of song and always will. God speed and much happiness to you, Ms. Crawford. 🙏🏻
I love Robyn! She seems she has a beautiful spirit and dope to be around!!
Robyn is telling her truth. I really respect the fact that she hasn't been trashing anyone. I won't read the book. I just want to remember Whitney for her immense talent, great songs, good movies and her concert that I saw in 2000. She was flawless. R.I.P. ❤❤❤
Robyn is a class act. So respectful. I love her spirit. 💕
@@JOBS4usNOW you must not have ears. She never said that. She spoke her truth and honored WH in the process....since for years the media tried to expose them as lesbian lovers.
No she's not Whitney Houston can't defend herself 😡
@@lauraalt7863 Robin defended Whitney. You must not be into pop culture...her name been scandalized since she passed. Robin redeemed it...Including within the religious values she carried. Believe me (born and raised in the church) what Robin shared meant A LOT!!
@Ladeenique that nobody is making money off of the very talented Whitney Houston and no I don't follow the pop culture 24/7 I have a life and a family.That bitch is just tying to sell a book 🤑 what are you Robyn 's spokesman 🤔
@Ladeenique and how do you know what went on behind closed doors 🤔like I said the greatest love is no longer here to defend herself. Peace out 👍🏾
I really admire Robyn. When the family trashed her (especially that awful "big" brother Gary), she needed to speak up and tell her story. I'm so proud of her for doing this!
Wasn't it Gary who was on the Oprah Winfrey show crying his eyes out after admitting that he was the one who introduced Whitney to Cocaine at an early age. What respect did he have for his own sister. Whitney family let her down. She was not even on taking terms with her Father when he died as according to Whitney he had swindled her out of money as her Manager. Where was her Mother in all of this. Her brothers and no doubt their wives were all on Whitney payroll. Also that money soaking manager of hers Clive Davis was a leech. He should have allowed her to heal fully after she came out of rehab, instead he was on her to get her back in the studio recording. This women became famous St the age of 23 and did not have the time or space to live a normal life.
@@celiasmith8662 Gary was jealous of Whitney. Sad. She loved him but he trash-talked her behind her back....hard.
@@CelestialGatez it’s so painful that those who were so neglectful of her, who did not have her best interests at heart, and only wanted to use her, especially people like Gary, it’s so painful that they are the ones now reaping the fruits of her labour.
@@TT-ri3dv Yes it sickens me.....
you got to understand Gary's position Gary was molested by Dionne Warwick's sister and so was Whitney and when you look at Dionne Warwick's sister and you look at this woman back in the day they favored each other. hair style etc . so he believed that the trauma plus Whitney's mother having affair with the minister in the church and the shame and humiliation and the anger that she, he saw Robin as being very predatory towards his younger sister.. they went through allot as children being molested in his eyes, ..that was the main reason why she was involved with this woman ...that she was an extension of that trauma... so you got to understand where Gary's coming from Gary was raped by a woman and so was Whitney.
The pain in her eyes speaks volumes about how much she loved (and still does) Whitney.
I just adore the way Robyn speaks about Whitney! Her words and the way she uses them is so beautiful and full of love. I can feel it.
Whitney Houston was truly one of the best singers I’ve ever heard sing. What a beautiful story Robyn shared. I love it!!
She said nothing damaging about Nippy it’s her truth and it’s needed regardless if Whitney here or not it’s her story and since the queen been gone everyone been trying to tell her truth that’s unfair so I’m 💯 & ten percent supportive of her decision to come forward she’s waited years and held her loyalty to Whitney so salute to her
She’s a personal physical trainer and what a perfect 👌🏽 disposition for a personal trainer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Betsy 🤔you talking about Robin ?
Les Lavy yes
I was wondering what she was doing today.
All these interviewers ask about is some sexual relationship, The book is awesome! Focus on the friendship not what was going on in people's bedrooms! Damn!
The book wouldn't have sold unless it was about a sexual encounter.. people didn't buy the book to hear about a friendship PERIOD
Right?!
You're right. At least the actor named Roman Castle had the decency to set things straight in his book written a few years ago called "On My Way to Hollywood." It wasn't solely about Whitney but he dedicated a bonus chapter to her that was EVERYTHING. Robyn knows him and I can tell he was speaking truth because Robyn mentioned similar things in HER book as well. Definitely worth reading!
Robyn' is reminding us of the Queen Whitney was!
Braveheart Robyn Crawford! Love You for sharing your story! The truth 💜💜💜💜
I like that name for Robyn
BRAVE HEART!!
IT TRULY FITS HER!!
Robyn is solid friend, after hearing her speak, I admire Robyn.
@Adele C. How about you shut the fuck up?
Bs solid friend smh bs a real solid friend would take this secret to the grave like whitney did!
Joan cummins 😳🧐No she’s not ! Whitney had a few isolated experiences while on coke at a very young age with Robin over a short period of time and (after being molested by her aunt). Then tells Robin she didn’t want to continue asked her for unconditional love without the physical part and handed Robin a Bible. Then dated and married men happily. Unfortunately drugs ruined that relationship as well but she was truly in love with Bobby a male born man! She had distanced her self from a jealous Robin who couldn’t be just s friend at some point. Now Robin is turning her story into a secret love affair !’wtf Robin like many lesbians fell for Her straight best friend, made sure a vulnerable young Whitney depended On her being one of Whitneys only trusted friend when everyone was wanting to Use and take from Her ...Robin like a manipulative vulture tried to flip the relationship into something it wasn’t. To avoid losing a friendship or hurt her feelings Whitney blames “the industry” to avoid continued physical advances from Robin
sometimes those closest to you are the most dangerous.
Now Robin is picking over the 💀dead.
She’s been in media training next to Whitney her whole life she knows how to do this. She’s betrayed her trust and twisted her legacy for self
Gratification period ! If Whitney wanted to be a lesbian she would have stayed in the sexual relationship and pretended to date around not fall in love with a man. Stop 🛑 the propaganda!
Robyn has not berated or make tawdry claims about Whitney. She speaks of her friendship, she speaks I'd her accomplishments. Sex is not explicit in her conversations about Whitney. I respect that what happened personally between them is their business. There is a big difference in the way she speaks of Whitney than the man in Whitney's life, and that difference is respect.
Why do people associate good grammar and calm demeanor with trustworthiness and sincerity?
I BELIEVE EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF ROBYNS MOUTH. This is EXACTLY how i thought about her amd Whitney from day one WITHOUT knowing either of them personally. RIP to the greatest and most beautiful singer to EVERRRRR exist. RIP to little christina as well. ❤
Tell your story Ms. Crawford. So glad she is able to set the record straight on her terms.
I could see why..this women seems so genuine .. you could feel and sense the love she has for Whitney. Beatiful
I remember being a child in the 80's and their relationship was on the cover of the Enquirer or Star magazine. Now every female artist says she's bisexual. It's no big deal now , unless you're a man, but then it was career ending. It's sad that someone as Wonderful as Robyn, Whitney couldn't be with, but someone as destructive and abusive as Bobby was fine.
👏👏👏❤
Its easy to blame Bobby I heard she was abusing drugs before him?
The Bible speaks of not abusing your body and also there was a huge stigma against drugs use in the 80s where today its advocated yet WH still did what she wanted so I believe if she truly desired to be with a woman she would have she did everything else
You know Whitney loved both Bobby and Robyn in different ways. Bobby wasn't an option that Whitney took to hide her bisexuality, she genuinely loved him and he her despite their troubled marriage. People need to stop judging Bobby Brown. He married too young and was not mature enough to handle Whitney fame. People have to remember he was part of a successful teen group and followed with a successful solo career. When he married Whitney his career took a back seater, and that was a difficult thing to live in the shadow of Whitney. Further to this Whitney had her own demons before she married Bobby, and they were both destructive towards each other. Bobby has grown as a person and is at peace with himself and life with his family. I don't think this should be about bashing Bobby but just understanding the other side of Whitney and respecting the honour that her friend Robyn wants to hear hold her memory by. Something that none of her so called family has done since she passed. They just took the opportunity to use Whitney as a cash cow, and still making money after she has gone.
@@celiasmith8662 I think you are being tooooooooo easy on Bobby. According to Robyn, New Edition members and Cissy, and her staff he did a lot of fu&ked up things to this woman unprovoked. This man is now 50 and people still expect us to tip toe over the feelings of a man who to name a few while engaged to her impregnated his child's mother for the second time, spat in her face numerous of times, incurred legal fees from sexual harassment suits to drug possession, not to mention laying hands on her. All of this because her talents surpassing his...oh hell nah. Bottomline if it wasn't Whitney it would have been some other woman's story of abuse with this man. He gave NE hell when he was in it, He could barely finish his solo project because he was so damn high according to the producers of Don't be Cruel that Ralph was asked to step in. He was a ticking time bomb that was on its way to explosion.
Many people quote:”live in your truth”. Nevertheless, very few people do. Robin has chosen to live in her truth.This takes courage. Peace & Blessings upon Robin. Rest In Peace Whitney🙏🏽.
Yes. This is Robyn’s past. It seems clear Whitney did not choose Robyn tho. Whitney moved on that’s all.
Living in your truth, should not come at the cost of exposing a friend, someone that you claim to love. True friends don't do this especially after your friend dies and can't do anything about it.
Good for you Robyn and Eddie was right.
@A Girl Name Bobbie that Whitney was making a mistake.
How could Eddie M be right, he's got more kids than Bobby and almost as many baby mamas... people need to stop putting folks on pedestals!
@A Girl Name Bobbie exactly she went into the marriage having a side woman
@T.E. V. Bobby did *no* coke *before* meeting Whitney. Whitney started useing drugs at 14, thanks to her brother Michael who sold it, Bobby started New Edition at 12, but was only 8 at the time Whitney was 14, so... #basicmath
@A Girl Name Bobbie How did she make a mistake? Oh wow! Sorry, you're right. He was an amazing choice.
"It brought in the clouds..." and the way that Robyn's face got sad and she looked down immediately after saying it. How heartbreaking. 🥹💔 She really loved Whitney, the person.
The show with Sammy Davis Junior was awesome 👏 I watched this on RUclips.
Great respect for this lady, Whitney respected and loved Robyn that’s all that counts.
🙏❤️
She could have raised Whitney's legacy without talking about sleeping with her - or getting paid for it.
Thanku!!! My thoughts exactly. This is so undermining. I knew she wasn't sincere when she came on Wendy. Whitney couldn't stand Wendy Williams, yet you call yourself a friend and help her ratings? Smh
@@dansefureva7664 That's such a good point! Whitney cussed Wendy out because she was constantly in her business. If Robyn was a true friend that would be the LAST show she go on!
And she doesn’t need to raise legacy of Whitney Houston to begin with. Right
Besides I don’t think WH legacy needs Robin to raise it. What a self righteous person.
Right! You should read Roman Castle's book "On My Way to Hollywood" where he dedicates a bonus chapter to Whitney WITHOUT telling all her business. I personally think Robyn copied him in some ways......from his book cover to some of the subjects he touched on. I read that book in record time because he wrote the hell out of it. Robyn has known him for years and seemed a bit jealous that Whitney gave him more attention than her.
Well, things may have been a lot different if she listened to Eddie and probably others...
One day while walking next to Bobby Brown and pregnant, Whitney looked me in the eye and said, “Hello.” It was the sweetest thing.
Very respectful host. Love the way he is patient and gives Robyn room to gather herself and respond.
Thank you for letting her talk!!! This interview was short but a million times better than Wendy Williams..
She is so authentic and so well balanced and impressively doesn't seem bitter at all. Their relationship deserved better.
It's about time she spoke up...like she said everybody else has spoke on it
Respect due for not making this interview about her .She obviously has a great deal of love and respect for Whitney.
This is one classy and elegant lady! She speaks with so much grace. Not one interview that I've seen has she bad-mouthed anyone. She deserves to tell her story. Especially when so much has been shared about her in movies and through speculation.
Very well spoken person. Her voice and cadence of speech is 🔥
Robyn is a graceful, honest, and poised human being. I love how honest, gracious, and thoughtful Robyn is.
I don’t care she wrote a book, so no one can judge butttt remember they put her in the movie so she has a right. Only thing I ask is would she do this if Whitney was alive.
Period..
@Asia Nagi
No she wouldn’t because she’s get her feelings hurt all over again. Whitney didn’t chose her, she’d moved on.
If Whitney were alive she would've came out as bisexual I think.
Asia Nagi Although their romantic relationship is what everyone is focused on, to me it seems she wrote this book more so for people to understand even though Whitney's life had its complications her talent was literally extraordinary, and above it all she was a misunderstood, beautiful soul. I don't think her intent in doing this book is to taint her legacy but more to restore it.
She's making money off of Whitney's dead body, I'm glad you find that beautiful and inspiring. She's an opportunist.
Robin sounds like a very intellectual woman with Whitney’s heart in mind !! I haven’t her say anything negative about Whitney or anybody just her truth !! What a friend !! Her book should be an interesting read !! 🤗
A Open Book is what I would named it! Because of what they're living was all about to the public people okay
Robyn Crawford has amazing character. The purity of her love and of what Whitney felt for her can be felt in the first three cd’s Whitney made.
Robin you've reminded us all what a beautiful soul Whitney was. Thank you!
Robyn Crawford is such a Class Act n FYI: I Recently got the Pleasure to Meet Her so Beautiful n Humble n Glad that She’s telling Her Story Thank u😀👍💜
Robyn: “It brought in the clouds.”
Wow
Powerful Statement
I think whitney did not want the public know that she was bi or gay..let her music be her legacy not about her sexual life...Let her rest in peace
So many have spoken on Robyn and Whitney’s friendship/relationship...many very negatively. Robyn has the right to set the record straight and tell her story.
@Karen Sanders oh yes she does from doing it in the car with Whitney to sneaking her into her Mama's house. Also how she got dogged out by Jermaine, Eddie and Bob. Im really struggling to read this book because I feel like Whitney wanted these moments in her life to be private
Whitney was not bi or gay, experimenting sexually as a youth does NOT make you bi or gay. That is why Robyn is still salty. Whitney left that in the rearview mirror many years before Bobby.
It is very soothing and a relief to listen the story from Whitney's closest friend ..all those memories with her...Robyn was very lucky person to be close to the greatest female singer on earth...
Loved this interview.
The interviewer did an excellent job.
Loved what Robyn said.
I'll never forget in 1986 I saw Whitney in concert at a college campus in Connecticut. I was 16 years old at this time. It was her first concert after her first album dropped. Well before she became a superstar.
It will be a night I'll never forget!
Mad respect to this woman! This is unconstitutional love and respect towards the love of her life! 🙏🏼
Blown away by the woman’s determination to protect Whitney’s beautiful light ❤️✨🙏
There is something about this women is comes across profoundly genuine, classy, poised. Not prefect, no one is. She 's known WH before stardom and remained loyal forever. She selling a book that will sell, but still remain loyal in everything she says.
I can see the love for Whitney in Robyn’s eyes. I can see the pain in those eyes too. I’m happy she told her truth
I always feel bad for her... I believe she has a pure spirit ♥️
Honestly she was one of the only few people who had genuine love and cared for Whitney.
I didn't know about this at first ... I thought she had evil intentions BUT
You can tell she's actually very genuine and that she really loved Whitney ♥💚❤
The Real Devil is Pat " Houston " !!! I'm disgusted by Pat and her fraudulent behavior
Bobby brown too
They loved each other and had a great friendship and relationship. Whitney would probably be relieved that the record is being set straight. Let it be. You can see how much it pains Robyn that Whitney was always under attack from the media and never got to really enjoy her stardom. Whitney is gone and Robyn loved her and still loves her. Whitney obviously loved her very deeply to keep her so close. Let it be people. I honestly believe this is why Whitney had to do so much drugs. She had to hide everything. Especially the woman she loved very deeply at one time. Drugs was Whitney's way of coping and escaping.
@sharon curry it's clearly in Robyn's head...Whitney dropped the 'uniform' of her public dress up, and had opportunity while on descending heavily into drugs to profess her love for Robyn...but didn't.
I’m proud Robyn is telling her truth. Their relationship was beautiful! I’m certain if Whitney could have embraced her true-self, stayed with Robyn... she’d still be here.
I hope she does an audiobook

Thanks for speaking up for Whitney! I didn't personal know Whitney but you couldn't tell my friends that wasn't my Aunt. I've always defended and advocated for her; She's human and she was entitled to her mistakes. Yes she was in the public eye, no one knew her true story but those really close to her. People do stuff everyday to numb what they feel; But because she was famous people thought it was okay to judge and scrutinize her. Big props to Robin for being able to stand up and speak out. Whitney will always be my favorite singer. Rest easy songbird you still have people down here on your side. Love you always Whitney❤

What most people don't know about Whitney Houston is her brother was the one who introduced her the drugs and everything else went south.
Yes. It’s true.
I think people know now. That being said even if Whitney was already doing drugs before, being married to Bobby certainly didn't help her.
Well, her brother admitted it on TV to his mother as well. But that family like a lot of these families have a lot of Secrets. I believe her mother already knew about Whitney's drug use. I don't think it was an accident. And I don't blame Eddie for saying that she was making a mistake. She ended up introducing Bobby to cocaine, because people don't like to do it alone. She needed a partner in crime and she found one.
This is one of the most beautiful souls ever!!!!! Love you Robyn
I feel bad for Robin....she was always on the outside looking in....she hung in there until she couldn't 🌎🔥❤ROBIN LOVE YOU FOR BEING YOU⚡
Love is beautiful. It’s obvious that these two beautiful women had love for each other.
Beautiful book. Such a tribute honnoring Whitney as a person ,honest and beautiful.
Can You imagine if Whitney never married Bobby. People can say today stuff,but being anything but str8 back then was not acceptable.. And for women, black women... Satanized.
Being sexually abused as a child, growing up in the African-American Church and not accepting herself as a Lesbian, lead to drug abuse at a young age and decent into madness!!
@@SuperBullaMan her not facing her sin was the issue rather than face it with God Almighty she ran from God in front of everyone and wasnt honest. She had pressure from all sides though i believe. She should've gotten counseling after her incident . If you say you believe in God there's nothing he cant get you through. The question is was Whitney owned by anyone or was she free to make her own decisions? God first everything else second even yourself. Because God would never cause you to do what is not right for you doesnt matter what it is. Stand firm!!! Even if you have a religious family your relationship with God is yours first. Plenty of talented people going to hell i hope she made it.
imma get this book ... i watched her Wendy Williams interview and I wanna read this now!
She would still be around today.
@@KNByam Mo she wouldnt be. She was smoking crack before she met bobby. She was fucked up from the cradle.
Thank you Robyn for showing us what is and how a friendship should be. Rest in peace WHITNEY!
The only thing she showed was how to be a disloyal friend.
I love Robyn. Very well spoken . So much love and respect she has in her heart for Whitney. It's about damn time that someone shed a light on Queen Whitney. Remember their legacy not tragedy. #Respect
My opinion. A real friend would keep what she knew Whitney wanted kept private, private period.
I agree. Her friend Roman Castle did just that in his book "On My Way to Hollywood" about his experiences in the entertainment industry. He knew both Robyn and Whitney and included a bonus chapter highlighting his special friendship to them both. He didn't disrespect Whitney on any level. I tore through that book like a forest fire. Lol.
the sad story of Whitney shows us what happens when people underprivilidge things that are important in their lives for the sake of being approved by the society (or in fear of the society). I wonder what would have happened if Whitney didn't say to Robyn "we should stop being phisicall cause the people will take advantage of it". What scenario of life would we have if the peple stopped interfering in their private lives? Maybe the relationship between Robyn and Whitney would have gotten closer and Whitney would be alive today? It's really hard to say, everyone's got their own life path. However, I do believe Robyn has been the best person (the purest spirit) in Whitney's life that she was ever related to.
The interviewer's voice is even more soothing. His voice is so calming.
Robyn Crawford and Eddie Murphy knew Bobby Brown was Whitney Houston downfall.
If Whitney Houston was married to Robyn Crawford. She’ll still been living today.
I read her book right now.
It’s a great book about Whitney Houston. Robyn didn’t trash Whitney Houston name in that book.
Robyn witness Whitney rise and fall in her career.
Robyn is a real friend to Whitney Houston.
ps it was not Bobby Brown who introduce drugs to her. It was cousin I think
Sophia Wilson I’m talking about that Whitney choosing Bobby Brown over Robyn and Eddie. Because of the drugs and the party lifestyle.
I know that Bobby didn’t introduce Whitney Houston into the drugs. It’s was Whitney has a huge drug issues because of her family.
Whitney want to please her family. So, She married with him. Plus Bobby Brown allows Whitney to do drugs and party with him.
If Eddie Murphy was still dating Whitney. Eddie will put her ass in rehab real quick.
No one can’t control Whitney Houston but herself and Cissy.
Whitney Houston is a wild child who is misunderstood in her life.
Her greedy family, substance abuse, homophobia people, mom cissy who doesn’t accept who she is as a lesbian women. Even the industry murder Whitney Houston.
messiah e Whitney Houston choose Bobby Brown because she knew that Bobby Brown was her escape from homophobia society and Cissy Houston.
People love straight celebrities that are the facts.
There are people right now. Are mad at Robyn Crawford because she confirmed that her and Whitney are lesbian lovers.
Even some people don’t believe Robyn Crawford. However , she is a happy married lesbian women with wife and two kids.
They don’t want to see Whitney Houston as a lesbian or bisexual. I understand why Whitney choose Bobby over Robyn.
People don’t want to accept gay people because they are homophobia and straight up religious frantic like Whitney mom Cissy.
Cissy is straight up old school religious frantic women.
She doesn’t accept Whitney Houston to be gay. Cissy believe gay is sinful and evil. That’s how Cissy was raise in the church and her religious beliefs. There are a lot of people who are just like Cissy right now.

It was her brother. He said it on Oprah show.

Downfall do not mean drugs. It could be the emotional, mental. Physical well being.
She is such a light...God Bless her, speak your truth...and I love that she does it with such a warm soul not seeking for attention... Sip 👼❤️
I can listen to her all day. Her voice makes me feel so relaxed 😌
There's something insightful and poignant about Robyn's approach to describing Whitney and her meaning. Robyn clearly was a friend but she's also an advocate and she champions Whitney lovingly.
Ok. I was saddened by Whitney’s passing. Still am sad because to me her life is an object lesson about what the world can do to you when you are talented and beautiful
I’ve now read Cissy, Bobby and Robyn’s books. Oddly it seems that Cissy and Robyn developed and grudging respect for each other
What is also clear to me is that Whitney was a cash cow for her family and friends
Whitney was not a singer songwriter so she depended on touring a lot. They worked her into the ground. With her early exposure to drugs they eventually became a crutch
This whole business is sad. I do like Robyn, but it’s obvious to me that Whitney wanted her early relationship with Robyn to remain private. It makes me smh that details are available now that she cannot address
I see your point. But recently, there's been all kind of documentaries and books lying about Whitney and Robyn's story. It's not like this was a secret up to now. This woman is just setting the record straight by telling the truth respectfully. Wouldn't you do that for your dear friend? Whitney's reputation has been dragged through the mud, but Robyn loves her enough to pick it up and dust if off lovingly by reminding us that Whitney was more than just another tabloid personality. I don't judge Robyn on this one.
This interview sounds like a acceptance for accepting gay life happy, God destroyed the city of Sodom and Gommorah,according to the new movie Whitney knew She definitely did not want to be hell bounded for that life,She also learned her desire was to be with a man, someone she marry and have a male-female productive family which came Bobbi Kristina, the rest of the story is history, her story should rip of the greatest memories and not be getting those ugly skeletons out of the closet, her voice was spiritually gifted and only God knows heart, rip to her meaningful greatest memories.
Thank you Robyn for sharing YOUR story in this experience!!! You have encouraged me to continue to be unapologetically me, and not allow ANYONE to tell my story except me... 🥰😘😘
THEY LOVED EACH OTHER SO DEEP I REALLY WISH PEOPLE COULD OF CAME OUT OF THEY MESS WITH JUDGEMENTS RIP WHITNEY HOUSTON I LOVE HER AND I MISS HER🙏🏿💙🦋
Thank you so much Robyn for finally sharing your truth (which I knew all along). Whitney would still be alive Today is people accepted the LGBTQ community. LONG LIVE WHITNEY HOUSTON!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BABE!!
Great interview. Robyn will always love her. This guy has an AMAZING voice.
People need to stop blaming Bobby, Whitney was her own downfall. I loved Robyns gentle voice.
Really? Did u read the excerpts on Bobby? I def blame him. He was a monster. She was in an abusive sadistic marriage. She was a social drug user before Bobby she became a full blown addict after marrying him.
Jamaal Shelton whitney was still a grown ass woman.
@@jamaalshelton6793 you can't blame him for her actions. They were both grown adults. They both got in their own way.
You see Robyn did drugs she didn't act fool, those are choices they made. Everyone has to be accountable so you can't blame him for her drug use. I'm talking about the abuse. Bobby did not ruin her Whitney made her own bad decisions a d Bobby made his.
@@brnsis Yes I can. Read the book and see how he treated her. The emotional and physical abuse would lead anyone to drugs in order to cope. She never got in his way he got in hers. She was a recreational drug user before Brown she became an addict afterwards. The book proves that
This woman is good and she has a calm voice and can calm yourself
