A new documentary about the life of Whitney Houston alleges that the singer was sexually abused as a child by her cousin the soul musician Dee Dee Warwick.
In addition to the claims made against Dee Dee Warwick, the film alleges that Houston had earnings stolen from her by her father and accountant John Houston, who died in 2003.
Dee Dee Warwick (born Delia Mae Warrick) was the niece of Houston’s mother, Cissy Houston, and the younger sister of veteran soul star Dionne Warwick.
Houston’s half-brother, the former NBA basketball player Gary Garland-Houston, alleges that both he and Houston were sexually abused by Warwick when he was between the ages of seven and nine.
