Enter Robyn Crawford. Now, this woman was Whitney’s everything for a long time. Best friend, confidante, assistant, creative director, co-manager - the list goes on. But was she something more?
Robyn’s recent memoir, A Song for You, dropped a bombshell. She claimed that their relationship was romantic and sexual when they were young. Whoa there! This wasn’t the Whitney we knew. The one who sang about “I Will Always Love You” to a man.

So, was Whitney gay? Bisexual? Or was their relationship purely platonic and the media made a mountain out of a molehill? We may never know for sure. But one thing’s clear: their bond was undeniably deep and complex.
The World Wasn’t Ready
Imagine being in the spotlight as much as Whitney was in the 80s. A Black woman at the top of the music industry? Groundbreaking. Now, imagine adding a same-sex relationship to the mix. It would have been a PR nightmare. So, maybe, just maybe, they decided to keep things under wraps to protect their careers.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
