Robyn Crawford Talked About Whitney & Her Drowning

Whitney’s friend Robyn Crawford talked about how Whitney loved the water and how she could swim. She mentioned in an interview (Red Table Talk) how she struggled with Whitney’s Drowning. Robyn said it was hard for her to wrap her heart and head around. She thought Whitney Houston’s passing in the water was just so crazy.  

I didn’t know Whitney Houston the way Robyn did, and  I thought Whitney’s death was crazy too when I heard the special news report interruption on television. The minute I heard it, I thought that it could have been murder.  

After Whitney died, I guess it was that same year that I received a message from someone who knew Whitney on Social Media. I think the person was a woman telling all the fans that Whitney didn’t die from drugs. She mentioned that she wanted all Whitney’s fans to know. The lady that wrote me also mentioned that she had been around Whitney for years and that she knew her very well. I wish that I had not renewed that social media account. The account really didn’t renew after I decided to go back to it some days after, but some of the messages I received way back then had disappeared anyway because some of the people that I received messages from were gone or accounts had been changed.

Some years had passed when I found out about Whitney’s sister in law Leolah Brown. She was another person that didn’t believe Whitney died the way it was told to the public from the news. I saw her on television saying that Whitney didn’t take baths at hotels. 

Chaka Khan also talked about the party and how she thought it was complete insanity. She said, "And knowing Whitney I don't think that she would've said, 'The show must go on,' she's the kind of woman who would've said, 'stop everything! I'm not going to be there."

Are these people being ignored? What does Whitney’s family think? They might want to consider what was said just in case. If Whitney was murdered, she had every right to live. No one has the right to take anyone’s life whether they are drug addicted, lesbians, or alcoholics. The judge is God, and he’s a sovereign God. The same God that judged Cain for killing his brother Abel. 

Thou Shalt Not Kill Exodus 20:13. There are man made laws too but sometimes things are left undone and covered up in this world.

Whitney Houston: The Group Sunday - I Know

Whitney Houston and Robyn Crawford managed the girl group Sunday. I wrote about them a few times on this blog and finally found a video of their song, I Know. People still mention them, and I always wonder what they are doing now. I haven’t heard anymore news about them. I wish they would return and sing. They were an awesome singing group.

Did Whitney Want The World To See "Can I Be Me" Documentary?

YouTube/ShowTime

According to Wikipedia, Whitney: Can I Be Me is a 2017 British-American documentary film that was written, co-produced and co-directed by Nick Broomfield. The film's subject is the life and career of singer Whitney Houston.

Using Whitney Houston's death on February 11, 2012 as a starting point, the documentary investigates Houston's history and her emotional connections with her family and friends. The film uses archive footage from Houston's 1999 World Tour mixed with testimonies from Houston's family, friends and musicians who worked with her.

Did Whitney know that the footage of her tour was going to be turned into a documentary? Did Whitney want her fans to know that she was having some problems? I think she did or else she would have never let someone film her crying in her dressing room. But whether or not she knew that it would be used as a documentary, I don't know. 

Robyn Crawford had been Whitney's friend for years, and one of the friends the documentary mentioned. She was in Whitney's life before she met Bobby Brown. Robyn was someone Whitney knew she could trust, and it must have been hard to let her go. Whitney worked with Robyn it seemed. Her friend seemed kind of intelligent in helping her and in being by her side. However, it is said that Roybn was more than just a friend to Whitney. So after Whitney got married to Bobby Brown, you can see why some changes needed to be made. Whitney became a wife to a man, and her man knew how much love she had for her friend. So naturally, Bobby would be jealous as her husband. I don't believe Robyn wanted to let Whitney go. So if Robyn had not separated herself from Whitney, it might would have eventually been a big major problem. Robyn did right by leaving.

It has been said that Bobby was cheating on Whitney. Today, Bobby is saying that Whitney was cheating on him too. People forget about those marriage vows to all mighty God, and two wrongs don't make a right. I know that Whitney loved God, and that does not mean that she was so perfect. She looked as if she tried to make her marriage work and cared for her husband to try to make things right. Did Bobby love God? I won't say that I cannot tell. A man that loves God would not have done the things that he had done to Whitney. On the day he got married, if he had seen Whitney messing with drugs, he should have steered her in the right direction. If you marry, it is important to marry someone that cares for God. If someone doesn't care for God, they won't care for him or herself. They won't care for you the way that they should. 

2 Cor. 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked .......

Sometimes although we know God, it's possible that we still can grow up troubled, and sometimes we do the things we have seen our parents do. Sometimes because we are troubled, we may do things mentally. Life can be very confusing when we don't know why we are troubled or why we do the things we do. If we can find out what is troubling us, maybe we can cope with life better and get the problem solved.

Robyn came into Whitney's life at a time maybe when she didn't have a friend. They got along good together and Whitney held on to that friend. Robyn knew what Whitney needed and how to care, and maybe Robyn needed someone to care too. I don't know how the two of them felt about men when they were young. I don't know if they were even dating guys when they met. But I feel that Whitney did need someone besides her family, and maybe Robyn did too. If they were raised up the way I was raised, girls stayed with the girls and guys  hung with guys. After starting to school, you learned to mingle with everyone. So there may have been something missing in Whitney's life. It's possible that it could have been simply that she needed a sister being the only girl. Maybe she needed someone there to talk to her about her feelings and guide her right. I think we all need that and we don't always have that.

I think it's good that the documentary was made about Whitney. Fans need to see that celebrities are people too. They do not need to idolize them so much that they think they don't make mistakes. Celebrities do not need to be worshipped. God is a jealous God, according to Duet. 6:15. We need to pray for one another, and we are all human beings.

Whitney's Best Friend and Assistant Robyn

Google Image

Whitney had a best friend that became her assistant. Her name was Robyn Crawford. I did not know anything about Robyn until I saw the tabloids. My mother was the one that read up on Whitney and her friend in the 90's and said, "It sounds like this girl Robyn worked really well with Whitney." I learned that Robyn was Whitney's creative director also. Robyn must of had some great skills. I never paid much attention about the stories on why Robyn broke away from Whitney. Some say that it was to protect Whitney's image. People said that there was something going on between them. We can never tell what is really true and sometimes it really doesn't matter.  If we were not with them, we will never know. You can not always go by what people say even if it sounds and looks like the truth.

Hold on to Valuable Friendship

There was one thing that mattered to me a little bit. If Robyn was really important to Whitney, and if Robyn and Whitney did great business together, that means that Robyn was very valuable. If Robyn was not bringing Whitney down, if Robyn and Whitney got along well, they should have kept on doing business together. Best friends should never let anything get in their way, and especially if things are working out well for you in a career. When I look back at how well Whitney was doing with her friend Robyn, it kind of makes me sad seeing how things turned out for the worst. I believe that Whitney should have stuck with that friend as far as her career. It is said that Robyn knew Whitney before she got famous. So what was the problem? If they were friends that long doing business together, they should have stayed friends doing business together. Having too many other people involved can sometimes break up a real friendship. I know what that is all about.

Never Live in Shame

People are always worried about image or what somebody is going to say. People, let the shame go if you have nothing to be ashamed of. Never let anyone make you feel ashamed. Don't live in shame. Live your life and your life will speak for you. If I had been in Whitney's situation, a whole lot of folks would have been mad at me. The more rumors they would have put out about me and my friend, with the help of Jesus, it would have made me stick by that friend even more. People are going to say and think what they want to, and you can not make them feel any different. People are still bringing up the past, spreading rumors and gossip about Whitney, and she is dead. See how it doesn't matter what people think? Most of them were not even around Whitney. They just go by he said and she said. They believe what every journalist tell them, and they are not always true. Now that is something to be ashamed of.
