What Whitney Houston's Relationship With Robyn Crawford Was Like When She Died

Nevertheless, Whitney Houston and Robyn Crawford remained close. Speaking to Craig Melvin for “Today,” Crawford discussed how their relationship changed into a friendship. “I just felt that I wouldn’t be losing much. I still loved her the same and she loved me and that was good enough,” she shared. In an obituary Crawford penned for Houston, she delved deeper into the years following Houston’s signing. “I was her assistant and then her executive assistant and then her creative director. I was her point person for the day-to-day. …You knew she was going to take care of you,” the author shared (via Esquire).

Over the years, rumors floated around that Crawford disliked Houston’s husband, Bobby Brown, but Crawford told Essence that they weren’t true. “When Whitney chose to partner with someone, I was honored to be the maid of honor at her wedding,” she said. “I didn’t know Bobby before the wedding. We never really got a chance to know each other. But what I will say is that she told me she loved him.” Crawford also mentioned that she wished Brown could have been a better friend to Houston, though she did not expand on what she meant by this.
