Cissy Houston Speaks Out Against Lifetime Movie: Let Whitney Rest In Peace!
connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby. In the two years since Whitney’s death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her. I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn’t know her. We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please please let her rest.
As previously reported, the film will be directed by actress Angela Bassett.
The biopic will feature Houston’s music, sung by R&B singer Deborah Cox. Angela has yet to respond to Cissy’s comments.

Miss Houston I agree with you.I questioned the need for a movie about Whitney.I don’t think it’s necessary.But,I do think the family is jumping the gun.From what I’ve seen about Ms.Bassett,I don’t think she would do a movie that would make Whitney look bad.That doesn’t seem to be her style.
I can see her mother’s point but unfortunately, because of the Icon that she was, the entertainment world is going to do what they do regardless. It’s hard to believe that the families in these cases have no say so though. As a mother, I would have a fit if it were my child too but the flip side to that is this is all part of what they signed up for by becoming famous. It’s a double edged sword. I wonder why Bobby Brown hasn’t spoken on this yet? But then again, he’ll probably be getting paid in the process…
I don’t get it. Angela and Whitney were close friends and Angela is too classy to want to portray her in a negative light. So… what exactly is the problem? Are they mad because they can’t profit from it? No one said ‘let her rest’ when y’all had a reality show before she was even lukewarm in the ground with her daughter looking all types of drugged up on tv. Bye Mama Houston!
The movie was good! I thought Yaya and Arlen did a great job. It had more ups than downs in Whitney’s and Bobbie’s relationship. The music just made you miss Whitney all the more, but I’m glad it ended the way it did. Good job Angela Bassett!!!
