Houston mom refutes claims

Whitney Houston’s mother says allegations that her daughter and her son were molested by her niece are “unfathomable.” In a statement on behalf of herself and sister, singer Dionne Warwick, Cissy Houston said they first learned of the claims two days before the documentary Whitney premièred in May. In the film, Whitney’s longtime assistant said the singer told her that cousin Dee Dee Warwick molested her as a child and Whitney’s oldest brother also claimed he, too, was molested. Cissy says Dee Dee may have had her “personal challenges,” but the idea that she would have molested her children is “overwhelming and unfathomable.” Dee Dee died in 2008. Whitney died in 2012.
