Whitney Houston’s surprise death in 2012 shocked many who knew and loved the singer. Few were as devastated as the singer’s longtime best friend, confidant, and shield from the outside world, Robyn Crawford.
Last year, it was revealed that Robyn and Whitney shared more than an emotional friendship — the two were also romantically and physically involved. Now in her new memoir, A Song For You: My Life with Whitney Houston, Robyn is being more candid than ever about everything she and Whitney shared.
When asked why she’s speaking out now, Robyn told People, “I’d come to the point where I felt the need to stand up for our friendship. And I felt an urgency to stand up and share the woman behind the incredible talent.”
Robyn explains in her book that she and Whitney met in 1980 when they both worked as camp counselors. Robyn told Whitney, “I’m going to look out for you,” and the two began a physical relationship.
