Whitney Houston's friend/former lover, Robyn Crawford, spills shocking tea! (RED TABLE TALK) 

One of the Top 10

Definitely top 5.

I agree

@Ree Pino this isn't a competition, get a grip😒😑

Carrier Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds.

🤣🤣 right

Gurlll 😂😂😭

You think that's annoying, Willow does the same thing LOL

Yesss! 😂

Xyaro Montilyett 😂😂

Yeah, she was one of the most gorgeous women in the world!

Yesss ♥️

As a lil boy I used to say she was the most beautiful woman on earth. That bodyguard era....damn! Just fine!

FOR REALLLLLL

She had a regal type of beauty

But the 1 true love for her, a real lover was cast out from the evil ways of christianity.. If only she was able to just LOVE the right way. Heavy drug use might have not been a thing. As we all saw, after Robin was pulled away from her.. The world saw that deep lost in her soul🫣 let people love, let people LOVE😞🌸

​@@DjFreethesheepThe "evil ways of Christianity"? Christianity supposedly preaches GOD'S WORD. GOD is the entity responsible for the creation of this PLANET and ALL creatures living on it! The very fact that YOU open your eyes in the morning and don't die in your sleep is because of GOD! The EVIL is only from what humans' hands have put forth. NO ONE human can change GOD'S WORD---though they certainly have succeeded in creating all kinds of LIES about HIM. HE said "NO" to homosexuality in any form. That is it AND that is all. Human Beings are selfish, greedy, obstinate, disobedient, ungrateful creatures. Pairing up with another gay person would not have necessarily guaranteed Whitney's happiness. She would have struggled with the insecurity and hypocrisy of stating she loves & respects GOD, BUT then leading a homosexual lifestyle. People LIE to themselves; make up excuses to do as they please; GOD gave humans free will. HE WANTS you to CHOOSE him and his WORD, to be obedient & grateful; NOT to go against HIM.

Most people, including family members will never understand what it means to be silent and just listen. #asadreality

Ty Dawkins ❤️ felt that as well

Now that statement passed the MAKE SENSE TEST!!!

Ms Wonderfulgem so true! A lot of the time we have to go outside of our families to find a safe space.

POWERFUL - we all just wanna be heard and seen and definitely understood

How does this fuck with whitney bn peacefully dead?

Of course, she was on Whitney's payroll too.

That and frankly she was jealous Whitney got the fame she dreamed of.

@@ebonydaley693 Yes!!!!! But here is my question: Isn't it enough that she was able to teach the woman that had "the voice?"

@@dpcisunbreakable NOPE! Think of Toni Braxton's mom. She turned down a solo deal, but guilted Toni for following her dream. Mama Braxton is another Cissy.

@@ebonydaley693 nah, I don't see it. If anything, I think that Ms. Braxton is riding the wave of Toni's success, but not at the level of exploitation driven by Cissy.

No one forced anyone. Whitney chose how she chose, and so did Robin.

Did you even listen to the interview?

@@cinnamon709 He listened. He just doesn't care.

yellagirl419 right It’s Robyns life and experiences How can you shut someone up from telling their story😢

Its Good that she gave it ample amount of time (after Whitney's Death) in order to speak on it As Well..

yellagirl419 robyn still talked about her mama in a negative light tho. That's how I know she just want *#PressandMoney*

I see it on both sides. I would feel a certain kind of way if the deceased didn’t want certain things they kept private about themselves out in public but if the speaker had their brightest highlights with the decease story which played a huge part of their lives then they should have the right to discuss it too despite the decease wishes.

@@felinefokus was Robyn just supposed to lie and say that Cissy was the sweetest most kind person...nah the truth is that Cissy could've been a real bitch at times not to mention the fact that her book didn't exactly paint Robyn in the best light so...

I was thinking that same thing

@@DTFABULOUS right? Just hearing the way men treated her, I felt a mixture of empathy, sympathy, and to be honest- anger! Jay cheated on frickin BEYONCE and these men treated Whitney so poorly.... Beautiful, blessed women being treated like expendable objects!! Disgusting.

Ben McGuire robin was 19? When she met Whitney ?

Ben McGuire that’s not true. Whitney was born in 1963, which would make her 56 years old if she was still alive. Robyn is 58 years old. They met when Whitney was 17 and Robyn was 19.

Ben McGuire Thank you! I’m a bisexual woman as well, and I hate that people do not care that Robyn preyed on Whitney. They only care when it’s men that age with girls that age, but as soon as it’s a woman with a girl, they ignore it. If Robyn were male, everyone would be outraged right now and calling him all kinds of disgusting (as they should). I was sexually abused (and groomed) by females when I was younger, and I hate how the world thinks it’s normal. Whitney Houston probably thought it was normal as well, because no one believes women can be predatory. Thank you for caring, Ben 💜

My condolences 🙏🙏

Aria Love much love to you❤❤❤

@@latrecelockett4930 amen 🙏

Same for men , if your are truly kind and pure In this world u will get crucified ....facts

@@vincentrobert4305 I strongly agree

@oldwiseone 63 You are absolutely correct, The book of Wisdom, Proverbs tells us to Guard your Heart with all Diligence, because out of it springs or flows the ISSUES OF LIFE. In other words your heart is the gateway to your soul!! Protect it at ALL COST..

umm and the men with the sweetest souls…feelings of the heart are not only subject to women

FACTS!!

EXACTLY

Right?? That's a lot of weight to carry for all these years. I hope this is healing for her, because she seems like a really sweet woman.

@Amdrew Moore What's your point? That doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to tell her side of the story. She's a public figure and like the original comment said, EVERYONE has told her story except for her. You disagree because apparently you are homophobic. That's your problem, not hers.

Exactly!

They haven't said a whole lot about Robin though.

TRULY!

Veronique Amandine yup

Veronique Amandine yess! im the same way!

That's still going on too unfortunately.

That's what I was thinking 🤣🤔💯.

Right there!

Men😒

And women never do that either?

Completely understandable ! I literally love this woman and I cried like I know her personally when she passed , then Bobby Kristina was like experiencing it all over again

Thank you Ive been saying this for so long!!

We know that. They both were on drugs before meeting

It was true that Whitney Houston's brother got her started on the drugs Not Bobby ( like everyone thought).

@@CleanMusicLover229 yep... It's true!

Exactly

Exactly. I don't get why people are in such an uproar about this woman finally telling HER TRUTH. I mean yes it's been year's but come on now..

At all!!

Ben McGuire she said on Wendy they met and Whitney was 17 and Robyn was 19

I don't understand she told the whole world about her relationship with Whitney Houston 🤨

Never changes... she is the one true friend we all pray for

Can I get an Amen up in this place?

Exactly!! But I must say that I never heard of Whitney being bisexual. I am now more aware and a bit shocked. I suppose with her being one of the most desirable Black Woman at the height of her career, she could have had any Man. But that she was rejected, and treated with little or no respect from these Men, I suppose she was looking for love and the Love came without stipulation, from another Woman.Who am I to judge. Anyway, we lost a beautiful Queen, who never got to love as she wanted to love. Bisexuality has a negative stigma in the AfroAmerican society, although many of the Brothers and Sisters in the Church are on the DL!!

Sufunda Samuels Whitney could sing anyone under the table! God bless her soul. 😭😔😇

@@brianhardaway9716 she was with Robyn before she met Bobby, and all those other guys, before the fame and everything. She was only 16 when they met. They lived together from 1981 till she moved in with Bobby. So it wasn't being wrongly treated by men that made her attracted to Robyn, she just was. I feel like people try to use any excuse to reconcile it in their heads, but some people don't let gender determine who they are attracted to. And thats just that.

YOU LIVE HOW YOU WANNA LIVE...BUT THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE LIKE TO HATE I'VE ALWAYS LOVED WHITNEY💜💜💜

Theresa Gipson very beautiful

she still is

Choupa BBL yes indeed but I’m talking about how amazing she looked during the 80s

Still gorgeous

@@theresagipson2828 tea no wonder Whitney wanted some 👀

She's fucking ugly

Right those cheekbones gorgeous... Whitney was too 💕

If you take away the hair and glasses, she looks like Nefertiti's bust. Very sharp, symmetrical features. Gorgeous smile.

Robyn is so gorgeous. Her wife is lucky.

Net CC agreed idk what they’re talking about lol she was a young beauty but she’s not it rn.

James Bishop this isn’t positive. Spilling someone’s secrets isn’t even positive

@@SBelle84 I don't think Robin is spilling any secrets at all. Bobby wrote it in his book, Pat Houston exec produce a made a movie about, Cissy did several interviews about her, so where does that leave Robin to speak for herself.....Everyone from the 80's & 90's knew what Robin is only confirming. No secrets, Just humanizing Whitney in a positive way, when all others have torn her down

Tymbre Turner the assumptions were there because everyone saw them together at events. Robyn and Whitney were friends the whole time tho. I don’t care who said what. This wasn’t Robyn’s job to tell Whitney Houston’s secrets. Pat Houston never confirmed it. Cissy did imply Whitney experimented which is what Robyn said. Bobby is a liar and denied the rumors of Whitney being with Robyn.This isn’t a way to uplift a legacy of a dead person.

@@SBelle84, I'm not at all going on assumptions just because they were at events together. Robin was part of her management team, so she would have been at all of her events. She was on her payroll. I'm speaking from inside the industry. It was NO secret, at all. If you were born 1980 -2000, I can understand your position, If you were born 1950 - 1985, and know all the players in this story line, and you were apart of the industry, you will have a different knowledge base, that's all I'm saying. Trust when I tell you, this was no secret. Maybe the details, but not the relationship as a whole.

Tymbre Turner Robyn was her assistant. Part of her staff. Not management. Robyn said Whitney ended things in 1982. Way before Whitney became famous. The rumors were around. Not because they were together but because they were friends and Robyn was masculine. Even as a younger woman. She was masculine in appearance. There were assumptions not because the rumors were true. Robyn said they were truly friends that whole time.

I cried for her and Princess Diana broke my heart

To let Beyonce fans tell it, Beyonce's a way better singer than Whitney Houston. Ain't that cold?

@@franklinclinton8846 Beyoncé is not

THE GREATEST *

@@franklinclinton8846 Beyoncé isn’t smelling Whitney’s singing .

Some men can't handle a famous and successful wife. They think that they are in competition with them. Smh

because she would outshine them on multiple levels. Men still have this problem with women.

There were many of us who adored her. She just chose the wrong ones

@@thenewyorkcitizen Whitney Houston wasn't outshining Eddie Murphy tho.' Eddie Murphy simply was non-committal to Whitney Houston.

Drugs. They knew she dabbled in drugs.

Exactly. ESPECIALLY when everyone else talks about it. Why not let HER tell what everyone else is telling first hand.

EXACTLY!

Thank you!!!

I agree!

Exactly!!! 5 times. Some folks getting bent out of shape saying Robyn shouldn't say nothing😶. Hell why not everyone else has told their own. I think she's genuine .

she sure was

Yes she was blunt and to the point.. her tru self❤️

She was...so many young singers looked to her

Brandy looked up to her the most Please click ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5tnm-IIGYH0.html and give us a rate ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MUhE7wOJUUE.html. lgbtQ entertainment

Me too!

@@yvymareena3050 1z n

"Friend" 🙄

T Mystery lovers or not, they were friends.

A same-sex relationship was not accepted back in the 80s, so I think their choice to stay friends not lovers was right.

She was on drugs

@Tamika Lee Eddie Murphy keeps track of his women. Plus Eddie and Bobby used to hang out

I don’t know ask Jay Z 😂😂😂😂

Because it doesn't matter what you look like! Duh.

And Eddie is not eye candy so he should of been humble fuck his career she had one to

Crystal Alexis Exactly! If she was allowed to love Robyn her life would’ve been completely different.

@Julia Mimi I think the equation is star power/fame level and how damaged they were at the same time.

No comparison dumb af

Crystal Alexis facts!

Or you could've said dorothy dandridge, another beautiful starlet that was dogged by men

True love, real true love, never dies. ❤

Yes I agree she does speak that way that was her true love.

wanda j I have a best friend I have had for over 35 years, non sexual, but if anyone knows me best through everything even the things my parents don’t know I think it would be her. This is why I never thought Robyn was lying or clout chasing. Her demeanor or story has not changed with any interview. I always said Robyn kept her even and when they broke up (friendship wise) Whitney did spiral. That’s because Robyn was her real friend not a Yes Man to her.

@tray love absolutely I know that love too well my friend.

Well said!💯

Whitney probably would have been better off with Robyn.

Too bad women love dysfunctional men

That's what people should've told Bobby

That woman was pulled every which way & sorry her mother wasn't all innocent in all of this either

Her parents failed her Bobby himself acknowledged that...

Nah, her parents and family did. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Her parents failed her. Her abusive boyfriend failed her. That boyfriend was pure evil. He beat on Bobbi Kristina like a punching bag and no one said or did shit about it. No one said or did anything about her drug addiction either. Baby girl was doing heroin and no one intervene??!! Smh.

As a HUGE Whitney fan....I initially was resentful to her for dying. I felt like "she gave up" and didn't care. And now over the years, after the revelations of her lifelong drug abuse that started in the home, finding out Cissy was an absent mother with a high and mighty holy rolling attitude among other things, possible molestation, and the overall toxic dynamic that was her entire life....I feel as black folk we need to pay attention and learn! Alot of us come from family situations like this. Everyone is so holy and praying....meanwhile.....so yea....black families can learn a lot from her life and death.

Añuli Okoye-Oyibo lmao! Failed her? As a community? Lmao you’re kidding right?

TRUE

You right I fell like Robin was the only person that truly loved her besides Bobbi Kristina

Right 😂

Yep for sure

Exactly.

Child! I'm here for all of it

Now that's the truth!!!

Even with a little fiction on her part

Yes I agree but in actuality she was only b one that truly had her back. She was in essence the gatekeeper of her heart and Whitney's family couldn't misuse and abuse her the way they wanted so they did all they could to remove her from Whitney's life. And as we saw in the same documentary that's when everything fell apart. Too many heads got involved, her brothers got full access to her , and drug use got out of control. The brother that she trusted the most introduced her to the hard drugs without any remorse. He was way too nonchalant can about it, in my opinion.

I never trusted Whitney's family.

I'm glad she wrote a book about her,I didn't buy it yet Im still Mourning these things, I did hear a Whitney Houston song on the Radio the day she Died , felt as if that was the Love she poured out to the World as she Passed on .. Still Love Her Forever.

Robyn hasn't done anything wrong. She truly loved Whitney and it's that simple. It's Robyn's prerogative to tell her side of the story. Perhaps, you may not agree with her choice, but that doesn't mean she's desperate for attention or using Whitney's name in vain. She has good vibes and intentions. Money doesn't seem to be a motive, either. She's genuinely heartbroken. Whitney and Bobby was an arranged marriage and nothing more. Bobby didn't destroy Whitney, because she had prior issues. Cissy was a controlling matriarch with a mean streak. I believe the stories about her second cousin, which was Dionne Warwick's sister. Aretha Franklin was not Whitney's Aunt or her godmother. She made that perfectly clear, especially after Whitney's passing. So, it was never true. Aretha didn't even attend her funeral, because her ankles were swollen and she was touring at the time. Perhaps, her reason was valid or even the truth for that matter. One thing is certain, Hollywood is a rabbit hole of twists and turns. You must navigate the grey area with caution to discern the truth.

Exactly, I had to check myself on that just recently but watching Jada do it is so cringe. STFU and just listen. Jada's a control freak and needs to be apart of someone else's history. Nmad!

@@j.riffney7939 Well said!👌

It's actually kinda creepy...she's fake as hell

@@ChristinaC-fj3yu Nah Red Table has been bringing us solid topics and convo and energy since it came out...

she is cute and chill. reading this got me thinking about pastor Kym burrell who said gay folk be going to hell, yet she befriend nippy. black people are hella hypocrites.

auntie, its not what she was doing it is what she actually was. and really black people following the teachings of christianity, that's oreo work right there.

Now 😂😂😂🤣🔫 NIGGA PLEASE

Not to me

🙌 yesss

PharaohLawLess1 yes and she was gorgeous

No arguments here. Her voice was one of a kind

Whitney and that voice was truly special it can't be duplicated!!

Without question. AND she looked like a model. RIP

Next to Sara Baugh and Ella Fitzgerald

If it was a decades long relationship and everyone around us had monetized their version of our story I’d have done the same. Robyn deserves to tell her truth.

Arianna Cruz-Sellu yup

You gotta read "On My Way to Hollywood." The guy who wrote it was a friend of Robyn's. It's a page-turner!

@@CelestialGatez What’s it about?

@@legend6376 The actor named Roman Castle wrote an in-depth look at that whole entertainment industry. Covered all kinds of scandalous ground from the sexual predators to the con-artists. You can go to Amazon and read a little more of what the book offers. It was entertaining as hell and when he took me to Whitney's mansion I was ALL IN! The book was delicious! Lol

Yes it's true, she was definitely looking for someone who really loved her.

Bria Barrows in life or death. Now you have this woman from her past selling her out. Poor Whitney

Bria Barrows yes

Right.. But we never do!!

Buttttttt Robyn was doing coke with them🙄😳🤦

@@mrssuchafknladyy2078...But she also stopped before they did and doing coke was only a side effect of the toxicity that went much deeper.

They demonized Bobby from the word, Go!

Bobby had no money Whitney was likely destructive from a young age (her brother).... I can see Robyn being jealous of Whitney and Bobbys relationship as well any other relationship that she has outside of her. Eddie was no fool.....

@Randomly Eating RIGHT

Well two women being physical and in love is what lesbianism is.

@@naturistfred Nope whitney was broken and bisexual but she preferred being with a man. Her life story makes that very clear. Robyn is a lesbian, whiney knew as a teenager that she wanted a husband not a wife and died dating Ray J. Whitney loved Men not women. A gay relationship was an experience she had in her youth as a teenager, she put a stop too it and never looked back.

Exactly and freedom to be herself

Well said!!

@Kennisha Dixon your last point is spot on 👍🏾

And.....and its in a very respectful manner

Yes, Robyn seems so sweet.

💯💯

She was sexually abused by a female as a child. If Whitney was a real lesbian she wouldn’t have consistently date men.

I don't think so. R.i.p Whitney. But she must really enjoyed let a bitch tell her what to do. Following another chicks rules. Then she got with real men. Not some trash playing a man role.

Pple and there homophobia

@anders damin yeah, it's gross!

monroe exactly , the problem has never been Robyn but the homophobia within society and indoctrinated through religion to other cultures

EXACTLY....its not as if she is giving us "second-hand" information....Robyn was there.....

Robin just wants to cash in no one was thinking about Robin

Kay You Bobby was abusive though, everyone knew

Thank you for clarifying that everyone keeps thinking she was singing it to Jermaine jackson (and she may have been) but she didnt write that song so we wont ever know.

If she was going after the bag she would've lied and probably shared other salacious stuff ...

@@clarkclarke And a lot sooner, not 7 years after Whitney's death.

Elektra yup

I don't know if her father was in her life or if she had a reliable father figure. Daughters really, really need a loving and present father. Having a loving father or father like figure, who is present, I tell you, you'll see obvious bullshit in a man from the get go. You'll find yourself drawn and attracted to men who mirror the good qualities of your father.

Robin said Whitney did cocaine at 14 so that was before stardom. It's like they want a false narrative of if Whitney could be out of the closet she would have been happy,but At the same time she saying Whitney fell in love with men. It seems like Pat,Robin and the others see how they can make a few more dollars off of Whitney's life and they are going for it including Bobby too and that's the sad part. Whitney's legacy is her beautiful voice not this.

@@gigglegaggle9762 I heard she was molested by a female member of her family. Or is that not true?

And constantly being told to be something you're not must be very frustrating as well

Addiction is no joke. It's a symptom of a broken spirit. In Some cases, you can't ever put it back together. There have been times when I knew I was overdoing it and thinking: why not just let go and end the pain once and for all?

Sweetheart just because your beautiful and talented as well smart doesn’t mean men knows your worth. If Whitney, Beyoncé, Halle, Mary J B and etc can get cheated on so can everyone else. No one is safe!

@Ivy TheGreat really??🤔

Cause she was supposed to be with Robyn.

I don't understand why you don't understand. So many women get screwed over by men. Fame and beauty means nothing.

From observation, every time the woman seems more eager than the man and pursue him, it sometimes ends up in them not valuing the woman. But, if the woman seems like she doesn't have time for pettiness, very focused building her life, I have seen more guys express alot more interest trying to impress her in that situation . In either cases, it still doesn't mean once he has you, that he'll stay. But if he knows your tolerance for pettiness is low, that you won't stay through bull, I have seen guys level up just so he can be with that woman When men want to make a decision about a relationship , they make it based on a set of reasoning that makes sense to them, not necessarily because of their emotions. When women make decisions about a relationship, we make based on our emotions and not necessarily about if the situation makes sense.

Amen, Preach!!!

Agreed. Except for the ex who ruined her life. She was a grown ass woman. She ruined her own.
