I was her point person for the day-to-day. I traveled all around the world first-class and anyone who ever worked for her will tell you her checks never bounced. However, due to pressures of the time, Whitney Houston did not feel comfortable pursuing a recording career while in a relationship with a woman. A post shared by Robyn Crawford iamrobyncrawford. These days, Crawford is a writer, an arguably most famous for her memoir about her relationship with Whitney Houston. However, it took Crawford many years before she was comfortable speaking about her past.
Once, while Crawford was on tour with Houston in London, she went on a date with one of her dancers. But she gave me a hug right after. Because she loved me. Surely it was because she was jealous? For years, Houston was actively homophobic, publicly comparing homosexuality to bestiality, then privately blasting Crawford for not denying the rumours about their relationship strenuously enough — behaviour Crawford disliked, but went along with.
After Crawford quit her job with Houston, she was offered a lucrative marketing job at Arista Records, until the offer was suddenly and inexplicably withdrawn. Crawford looks puzzled. I was there, I knew what my role was. I went through her modelling years with her. I was watching her rise. Everything that she had told me she was going to do, I could see it happening.
We worked well together. It was always there. In the end, it was tragic. But the difference with me is: I said thank you. It took Crawford a while, but she did. At the time, Houston had vowed to quit, too. There was nothing Crawford could do but plead with her to stop and report her drug use to her mother.
