Since Houston’s demise in 2012, the rumour has been addressed previously. In her 2019 memoir “A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston,” Crawford additionally acknowledged that she and Houston had a sexual relationship.

Crawford describes her first kiss with Houston as being “long and warm like honey” in the book. She writes, “As we eased out of it, our eyes locked, my anxieties shot up, and my pulse raced.”

“There was something going on between us. We never discussed labels like homosexual or lesbian. We simply went about living our lives, and I wished that it could.

When Houston began putting more of an emphasis on her singing career in 1982, Crawford and Houston’s physical connection came to an end. Jermaine Jackson, who is also mentioned in the movie, whom she later dated. 1992 saw her union with Brown.

What do you suppose Houston would have thought of the movie? She and I pretty much agreed on everything. I’m proud, and I think Whitney would be too,” Davis said in closing.
