I met her as a 10 year old. She became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. She was such a wonderful person!
My Mom was a Jehovah's witness, she and my Mom were good friends..
@@therronrivers9579 I know this may be an inappropriate question, but do you think she was related to Whitney? They look so much alike.
Her religion killed her career and eventually herself. A Jehovah Witness - gimma a break
@@jl3322 She chose to put Almighty God first. She couldn't pursue a demanding show business career and be as devoted to serve God too. It was her right to decide for herself. "Noone can slave for two masters. You will stick to one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for riches." - Matt. 6:24
And her faith had nothing to do with her death. She's safe in God's memory. He will bring her back to life. - John 5:28, 29
@@shonuf5152God didn’t tell her to give up her career, Jehovah Witness Elders did.
She supposedly had one child in 1963..gave up for adoption. Whitney was born..1963..they are almost twins. U can't tell me that's not her mom
Whitney was definitely her twin. They even sound the same when they talked. They moved the same when they danced. Mother and daughter for sure.
Is that true?
@dana It's not her mother.
This is the analysis and correlation that I'm looking for . However, this video states that Graves had no children. If she had a child and gave it up of adoption, then I can see how people would say that Thresa and Whitney are mother and daughter. Shooot. I can see it too.
Teresa Graves never had children.
She's possibly Whitney Houston's Biological Mother, The body shape, mannerisms, smile and even how they talk. In some photos and footage you see Whitney. It's so incredible, the likeness and her beauty. Both sang both could act. It is too much of a coincidence.
You are on point with this observation. I think Whitney was adopted.
Not possibly. Obviously. Genetically. Whitney she is just her reproduction copy.
Too sad they had to hide this and whiney ended growing in a family thing that never loved her but only used her.
Can't even think how sade both of them felt about their secret
There is a resemblance, but not sure if Teresa could be her mother. To be honest, Teresa would have been a mother at 14-15 years old.
@@tomlemery8490 she could of had a child girl start there period at 12 or 13
The resemblance is there!
She looks so much like Whitney Houston. 2 beautiful sister that will be remembered 🌹🌹🌹
That was her mom, she was adopted by her aunt Cissy.
She was a beautiful actress, I loved her in movies.
I bought her doll, Get Christy love. however, smwas too young to have Whitney, unless she'll was 20 years old and younger. Why did y'all never, say this, when both individual was above the ground and could debate the truth. So all of us look alike.
She looked alot like Whitney Houston
You mean the opposite.
You mean Whitney looked a lot like her since she was born a lot earlier.
No, Whitney looked a lot like her.
I said the same thang!
No! Whitney looked a lot like her. Teresa was born 1st.
Never knew of this lady until now.. That is crazy!! I'm pushing fifty!!
I loved Get Christie Love.
Now that was truly a sad ending for a beautiful & talented lady.
She was beautiful
I always thought she was so gorgeous.
She was STUNNING Truly amazing beautiful 😍
Great Beautiful Teresa Graves RIP Sweet Lady
Teresa was in my congregation when she was married to Bill, she was kind and loving, she will be back. She loved Jehovah very much, miss you my dear sister!!!
Remarkable! Thanks for sharing that. What congregation did you two attend?
@@shonuf5152 Central Lennox, in California.
@@kimkelly5512 Wow! I know that you among many others will be ecstatic to see her again.
@@kimkelly5512my aunt lived across street from her. Her mom lived with her. I was 16 yrs old. She was a very nice lady. I would go over and talk to her. She always said baby don't live for the world live for johova. She was very pleasent.sh3 aways would call me over when I stopped by my aunts,and tell me to be modest dont show body with such clothes. She said a man wants a wife that will reflect his whosomness..sad sad abtnhow she passed
Thank for sharing ❤@@sierria64
That was my girl when I was a kid I thought she was so beautiful ❤️. Thanks for the memories
RIP Sister Teresa Graves
I loved her I remember watching her shows as a little girl RIP BEAUTIFUL ANGEL!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Her crew did not consider her requests unreasonable. She said that they accommodated ALL of her requests willingly in support of her. SHE said (per recording) she was amazed at just how supportive they were and that they had great times together.
Absolutely Beautiful
I thought Whitney was so beautiful but then I saw Teresa and wow, she had it all. I think she was beautiful inside and out and if that decision made her happy then I’m happy for her but I do miss her… RIP Sugah
She was beautiful ❤️
SOME ONE HAS TO KNOW THE TRUTH....!!! ABOUT THIS WOMAN TERESA GRAVES...
What truth is that? About Whitney?
Beautiful lady whose personality leapt from the screen/TV. RIP Teresa.
When I saw the similarities with her and Whitney Houston, the rumors just might be true!
RIP TO Both 🕊❤
No they are not true.
Sure looks like Whitney Houston.
she was better
Opposite
It’s rumored that she was her birth mother. Supposedly she was Whitney dad’s paramour. She was 14 and he was in his 40s. Something has always seemed weird and secretive about Whitney’s childhood. I never felt like Cissy was her blood mother.
It's struck me that this Beutiful Black Woman seems to not be remembered in Hollywood.
A NATURAL BEAUTY, and talented! I did not know she was Christy Love, though..RIP Sistah.
She looks like Whiney Houston, can pass for her sister. R I P.
i was thinking the same thing
You mean the opposite.
You should hear her voice and look at her mannerisms. It's no mistake.
That’s supposed to be her biological mama, so the people say 👀
@@emilywitherspoon6670 Yes. It's being said that Whitney's dad had an affair with Teresa when she was a child, 13 or 14, and she got pregnant. They did a backdoor adoption and he brought Whitney home to Cissy. Not sure the truth to this, but I can believe it.
Unreasonable demands on set?? Mate the producers and all on set were more than happy to oblige and work with her high moral standards. If they thought it was unreasonable why did they continue to hire her.
She was so beautiful and talented.
She will be back better than ever!
Um shes dead
@@BlackLikeInque
Acts 24:15
There's going to be a resurrection of the righteous
Psalm 37:11,29
The righteous will possess the earth and live forever upon it.
She dead (asleep) now but will awaken in God's Jehovah's glorious new world.
Yes she will indeed!
@@JAMERSON5867A lot of folks don’t believe that.
whitney should have played a new christie love. she would have killed it in acting chops.
Agreed...I think that that was considered and it never bore fruit.Around the same time they were considering bringing ingredients back police woman with the blonde one from the Charlie's Angel's reboot. THE ONE who played with snot in a comedy with Ashton.
Isn't it strange that rumors are saying, Theresa Graves, is Whitney Houston's biological mother. also how she was born in Houston Texas and Whitney's alleged biological father's name is HOUSTON.
PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR NAMES FOR PUBLIC PROMOTION.
The more, I read about Theresa and John Houston I believe Theresa is Whitney's biological mother.
Perhaps the fire wasn't an accident, just like Whitney's and Bobby KRISTINA, deaths were not accidents.
So perhaps there are more skeletons, but does it matter. They are all deceased and unless there are other siblings, best to let their secrets stay where they are.
Saw her on reruns of Rowan & Martin's Laugh In.
Makes it sound like a bad thing ....someone wanting to live up to be a good Christian.
I loved Get Christie Love! As kids I said Christie Love could kick The Police Woman, Angie Dickinson’s butt Lol! I also argued she was prettier than Dickinson’s Ofc. Pepper!
You were so right, it wasn’t even close
My grandmother always told me in her lifetime., what's in the blood can't be plucked out. That is Whitney Houstons' biological mom. The resemblance is identical in too many ways. Don't need Muary for this one. And then cremated her so that it could not be known she was her mother. Whitney found out years later., that's what started her addiction.
💯💯💯💯
I’m floored, I’m convinced that Teresa is Whitney’s mom. OMG.😮
Everyone has a doppelganger, she just happened to look like her.
I believe that also
I feel sorry for them both😢
You sure are great at tossing more rumors onto that fire of lies.
This is Whitney’s Houston twin!
She gives me big time Whitney Houston vibes....not sure why?
Perhaps because she IS Whitney's real mother. It's no mistake. Their voice and mannerisms are identical to each other.
The body shape, mannerisms, smile and even how they talk. In some photos and footage you see Whitney. It's so incredible, the likeness and her beauty. Both sang both could act. It is too much of a coincidence.
I always wondered why Whitney didn't look like her parents. Her mother also adopted a son. Whitney and Teresa look and sound just alike.
They said Whitney Huston is her secret daughter she had a 15
Just curious. Who is "they"?
@@shonuf5152Everybody
@@shonuf5152a lot of people. It’s all over RUclips
Yeah, "they" say a lot of things.
Teresa is not here defend herself as to whether or not she gave birth to Whitney. It’s abominable that people can slander reputations without proof. I’m sure it’s hurtful to Cissy after loosing Whitney. It could be Whitney’s sister…who knows. It’s shameful how rumors spark.
Agreed with you. Folks want something to gossip about.
Nope her Dad was Theresa manager. This is a fact! He had an affair with Theresa when she was under age . This is why it was held secret and also one of the main demons Whitney struggled with.
She reminds me of Kelly Rowland...beautiful eyes
LISTEN TO TERESA GRAVES SING,,,AND YOU TELL ME.!!!!?? SHE HAS TO HAVE FAMILY ALIVE!!!!
Soon this earth will be transformed into a beautiful Paradise. All those in Jehovah's memory will come back to life. May we continue to make Jehovah's heart rejoice.
Revelation 21:3, 4
How I look forward to seeing and meeting our dear sister in the very near future 🙏, when she like many will be resurrected to a beautiful paradise. Psalms 37v29.
Good job!
WHITNEY LOOKS A LOT LIKE TERESA GRAVES. WHITNEY LOOKS NOTHING LIKE CISSY HOUSTON. IT COULD BE SOME TRUTH HERE.
I'm convinced.
I just feel like her life is so mysterious and it’s hard to find much about her online
And that’s exactly why we shouldn’t believe everything we are TOLD! I believe this is her mother for real and people can pay big bucks to have things hidden and who’s to say people started digging back then so someone set fire to her home then cremated her so there is no teeth or Dna to confirm that she in fact was Whitney’s mother 🤔
She was wanted by ABC to play Nubia Wonder Woman's sister for season 2 , if the show had stayed on ABC. Too bad it did not happen she would have been amazing.
I would have loved to have seen that 🤩. I wished Teresa Graves stayed in show business. Maybe tragedy could have been avoided also by continuing.
One są identyczne, Whitney Houston i Teresa Graves. Nawet styl poruszania się, gesty, pozy, uśmiech są identyczne
She was so pretty!
Sad RIP
That’s definitely her biological mother.
I'm from Los Angeles born and raised. Teresa was 74 and Daniel Freeman Hospital is now condos, so she was at Centinal Hospital that's near The Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA.
Rest Well...beautiful.
At first I thought she was Whitney Houston
I remember her in “Get Christie Love”. She was on and “popping” back then.
Sad 🙏😢
Teresa Graves was not Whitney Houston's mother. Cissy Houston is Whitney Houston's mother. I grew up with Whitney Houston.
Yes you may have grew up but you didn't know Whitney when she was a baby or two or three years old she looks nothing like Sissy I have no photos of being pregnant in 1963 they did research something is very strange..
She had the prettiest eyes. Rest in peace
I had a crush on her and Lola folana in 70 s I was a little kid but I knew they were fine ❤
Whitney Houston’s mother wow so very beautiful & talented, I wonder if Whitney ever new 😢 RIP to the both of them 🙏🏼🙏🏼
She had NO children. Why people believe everything they hear on the internet? The information on the internet is based on lies and deception. Stop believing everything you hear. The naive believe everything they hear.
Teresa had an affair with a Theatrical manager John
Russell Houston Jr. in 1962. At the age of 15, in August 1963, she gave birth to a young girl, but because she was underage and John was already married, he wanted to avoid scandal so he adopted the new born child. On June 25, 1977, Graves married William D.
Reddick in Los Angeles, California. 7] The marriage ended in divorce by 1983.[8] Graves was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness in 1974, and almost immediately began using her celebrity to bring international awareness to the persecution of Witnesses
Whitness_ whitney
Where did you get this info from
Nice story…but what’s the source…who can validate it
@@Zaradikaresells exactly
Another lying pos riger
Traveling down this rabbit hole via TikTok… I’m siding on the possibility of her being Whitney Houston’s Biological Mother.
On another note, Religion is the destroyer of normalcy. People will forgo their whole existence is pursuit of religion. It’s sad…
Jesus is not a religion.
I first saw Teresa Graves on the Laugh-In comedy show. She was one of my favorite actresses. Beautiful and talented. I wished she stayed in show business so we could of seen her more times🙂 and maybe tragedy😢 avoided by having more money to live in a newer safer home. A safer neighborhood too.
The resemblance of her and Whitney is uncanny she looks nothing like Cissy or John or Father.
Beautiful woman. Too bad this dude can’t read.
Got it from Wiki anyway
& some of was a bit incorrect
The video said Teresa was 54 at her time of death. I think you meant 73 if she was born in 1948 and passed away in 2022. Great video.
She died in the year 2002, not 2020. She was 54 at the time of her death.
@@75717 okay, thank you.
@@75717Somebody left a comment saying she might be Whitney Houston’s mother…….. Then they said she had a child gave the child up for adoption and the child might have been Whitney Houston. Who knows.
She died 2002 not 2022.
Her catchphrase was "if you say so sugar"
The whole Whitney thing makes for a great story but not true. Cissy Houston is Whitney's biological mom.
I remember watching her tv show. It was fun to watch. It was very novel to see a black woman in a lead role but she was so talented no one seemed surprised or made a big deal about it. The show was good but only lasted one season. Now I know why!
That's Whitney Houston Real Mother Cissy Houston Is not Her Real Mother
I remember get Christy love
They want even show the picture of her real husband. They're showing John Amos every time I askon Google for her husband pic. Something not right...
Awe! 😔
She looks like Whitney Houston .
“Branch don’t fall far from the tree”. You can clearly see the similarity to Whitney or vice versa.
Refusing to do any scenes that went against Biblical scriptures WAS and ISN’T unreasonable. The creator of this video will one day bow to Jesus if he doesn’t repent.
Why is there no pictures of her as a older women
She went into seclusion and focused on her being a Jehovah’s Witness
That gotta be Whitney real mother
That don't gotta be Whitney's real mother.
I totally agree i always wondered where whitneys beauty came from because she didnt look like Gary or Micheal..they are very dark...and certainly didnt look like Cissy Houston ..there you go..she is the splitting image of Teresa..beautiful......tall and slender..and she sung..hmmm..nothing is gonna change my mind on this one..
Pretty woman
People keep saying that’s her biological mother like there’s no videos of her with her mother 😂😂😂 unless that lady adopted her idk but then again if it’s true I wouldn’t be surprised because Hollywood keeps a lot of secrets
She was 15 when she gave birth
I absolutely agree
She dreamed of being queen of Egypt but nassser discouraged her
This is Whitney biological mother! I wonder if Whitney ever spent time with her, and kept it out the media 🧐
Maybe her father had something else going on.She sure is her.
First time I'm hearing this story whilst watching Bobby's sister say this is her real mother. This woman definitely is they look like twins!.. I always thought Whitney didn't really have any real connection to Cissy etc.
Given what we know about Hollywood today- I wouldn’t be surprised if they took her out… wouldn’t be surprised if
She didn’t look as much like Whitney as people would like to believe she did.
I have no idea why she was trippin' so hard. You do not need to do all of that to be a JW. I know it was different back then, but quitting work by 5pm daily for bible study is a bit extreme. Not being able to lie or do anything against biblical scripture is insane!! Especially if you are portraying a character for your job!! This entire story is wild!
Yall got it backwards, Whitney Houston looks like Theresa Graves. Remember, Theresa was her first. I hate that they never did a Get Christie Love, the Movie cause Whitney would obviously be perfect for the role. Its like their twins born decades apart. R.I.P to BOTH sistas.
This is Whitneys real mother. Whitney knew. She abandoned her carreer when Whitney made it big. She did have a child WHITNEY HOUSTON, at 15 Cissy and John adopted Whitney.
Based on what? Hospital records? Birth certificate? Public records? Based on Whitney's statements at some point in her life? So Cissy's husband had an adulterous affair with a fifteen year old girl (which is statutory rape), the girl got pregnant, and together Cissy and John adopted the kid because Cissy was okay with that? "Hey, John, honey, I know you committed statutory rape with a fifteen year old and she got pregnant but it's your child, John and I think it would be just the sweetest coolest thing if we adopted the product of your statutory rape/adulterous affair." Seriously?
I personally think her life was a success. Just for that one tragic incident everything else was done on her terms. She may be Whitney Houston’s mom but if so, she made sure no more. With Hollywood producers then and now as well the swinging sixties which was really drug induced manipulation, I commend her for prioritizing her Jehovah beliefs. Not many can do with her talents and the struggle to make a living at that time. She should be looked at as a Saint for taking a stand against Hollywood.
My parents likes Get Christie Love
Sorry you misspelled robin lee melee
Whitney got to be her daughter, They look too much alike. Like twins.
Twin maybe kin to Whitney Houston!
I wonder what Whitney had to about these rumors
Pretty lady
Whitney Houston favors her 🤔
