5 myths about Whitney Houston

On August 9, 1963, the legendary Whitney Houston was born, a superstar whose popularity has not waned even after her death. There was always a lot of gossip around her, and after the artist left, myths about her began to multiply at the speed of light.

The role in the film "The Bodyguard" for Whitney Houston was her film debut. After the release of the picture on the screens, the artist woke up famous. But then there was an interracial scandal. The audience considered it unfair that the face of a black actress was hidden on the posters of the film. People thought it was intentional and considered it to be discrimination.

And years later, Houston's co-star in the film, actor Kevin Costner, revealed the "secret" of this poster. It turns out that the image is not Whitney at all, but her stunt double. The shot was taken at the end of the working day, when the singer had already left the set. The movie bosses liked it and decided to use it for a poster. And they even thought of “photoshopping” Whitney’s head to the picture. But Costner convinced them.

After the death of Whitney Houston, the former concubine of the founder of the terrorist organization Osama bin Laden, writer Cola Boof published her memoirs. In the book, the woman told that bin Laden wanted to make the singer one of his wives and even wanted to kill her husband, Bobby Brown.

However, no one confirmed the words of the woman, and, probably, this is already impossible, since the terrorist died back in 2011.

There have been rumors for years that Whitney Houston was gay and had an affair with her assistant Robin Crawford over the years. It was said that the artist's father even once scared the girl to stop communicating with his daughter.

But Whitney herself categorically denied having a sexual relationship with Robin.

The investigator, who was investigating the causes of the singer's death, was repeatedly contacted by people who introduced themselves as her relatives. They claimed that Whitney Houston's death was the result of a murder.

However, they could not provide any confirmation of this information. As a result of the investigation, it was found that the death of the artist was due to drug abuse.

Whitney Houston's only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, died in 2015 due to permanent brain damage. After this tragic event, 36-year-old American Renee Houston turned to the press and declared herself another daughter of the star.

According to the woman, the singer herself, shortly before her death, visited her and told the secret of her birth - 18-year-old Whitney gave her daughter to an orphanage.

Whitney Houston's mother later denied this information.
