The name Robyn Crawford might not mean much to you, and that’s because it really did not mean much to anyone. Up until this week, most people had never heard of her; and most people will wonder who she is for a time since her name continuously pops up in the news this week. She is the former personal assistant to the late Whitney Houston. She spent many years working for her, working for the family and doing all the things that Houston asked of her. She kept her secrets, she planned her travel and she did what she needed to do to keep her job and to keep her boss happy.
This week, Bobby Brown, the ex-husband of the late singer, alleged that Robyn Crawford and Whitney Houston spent years in the midst of a thriving romantic relationship; telling the world that they were lesbian lovers with a longstanding love affair. Whether or not this is true is not something we can confirm, but we can confirm that it’s disgusting this man continues to speak ill of a woman who is no longer with us. On that note, let’s learn a little more about Robyn Crawford.
She’s known Houston since she was a teenager
Robyn Crawford met Whitney Houston when they were just teenage girls living in New Jersey. They became friends when they were younger and managed to maintain their close friendship throughout most of their adult lives.
Whitney’s mother doesn’t like her
Apparently, Whitney Houston’s mother is not a fan of Robyn Crawford and insisted many times that her daughter fire her assistant. She even told Oprah that she would not be okay if her daughter was bisexual in an interview back in 2013.
She misses Whitney’s laughter most
Of all the things that Robyn Crawford misses about her late friend, it’s her laughter that she misses most. She described her friend following her death as a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, and someone whose laughter could change the tone of an entire conversation. She’s someone with whom she shared a very special friendship and it’s obvious to us that they were very close.
She went into hiding
Following Houston’s death in 2012, Robyn Crawford went into hiding. She was being pressured by the media to discuss her friend’s death and she just disappeared. She did not want anything to do with talking about Houston, and some say it’s because the pain of losing her lover was too much for her.
Bobby Brown doesn’t seem to mind
It seems that Bobby Brown didn’t mind the relationship that Whitney Houston had with Robyn Crawford. In fact, he states that if her mother had been more accepting and she was able to come out to the world as a bisexual woman, she would very likely still be alive today. He blames the fact that she was forced to live a secret life that people did not accept as the reason she is no longer with us today.
