We’ve been hearing about the rumored affair between Whitney Houston

According to the report, Houston’s
father, John Houston, “settled the matter by sending a confidentiality

That same year, Whitney married
singer Bobby Brown. On the day of the wedding, Halperin notes, the bride

According to Ammons, the elder
Houston told him, “We’ve got to do something about that motherf–king
b—h. She’s ruining my family and driving everybody nuts. She’s lost her
grip on reality. I’ll pay you $6,000 if you put the fear of God in her.”

Harper goes into greater detail on Whitney & Robyn’s rumored
tryst in his book. He also offers his theory on what happened to Bobbi
Kristina and why she’s still in a coma.
The questions is — do you believe him?
