Whitney Houston's mother would not have accepted Whitney as lesbian

Oprah Winfrey interviews singer Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom, in the latest episode of Oprah's Next Chapter.

Cissy discussed the longstanding rumor that Whitney was involved in a romantic relationship with her best friend and one-time executive assistant Robyn Crawford.

In the book, Cissy alludes to Whitney "experiment[ing]" with this friendship. Cissy tells a clearly surprised Oprah that had Whitney come out to her as a lesbian she would not have liked it, or condoned it.
