Cannes doc: Whitney Houston was molested by Dee Dee Warwick

Associated Press  

CANNES, France — Friends of Whitney Houston allege the singer was molested as a child by her cousin Dee Dee Warwick in a documentary that premiered Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival. Houston’s longtime assistant Mary Jones tells filmmaker Kevin Macdonald that the late singer told her that Warwick, the sister of Dionne Warwick, molested her at a young age. Dee Dee Warwick, who was 18 years older than Houston, died in 2008. “These are specific revelations that I think will get people to a deeper understanding of who Whitney was and in many ways redeem her as a person.” Dee Dee Warwick was the niece of Houston’s mother, Cissy Houston.
