That Never Was: A Shocking Revelation from Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard

Introduction

In the world of celebrity, the tales spun between magic and tragedy are often interwoven with secrets, heartache, and unspoken allegations. One such narrative is brought to light in a recent memoir by David Roberts, Whitney Houston’s personal bodyguard during her most tumultuous years. Titled “Protecting Whitney,” this book not only chronicles Houston’s remarkable career but also unfurls a shocking incident involving her then-husband, Bobby Brown, that has gone largely unaddressed over the years.

David Roberts, whose career began in law enforcement before transitioning to protect one of music’s greatest legends, paints a candid picture of Whitney Houston during the zenith of her fame. As Whitney embarked on her groundbreaking “Bodyguard” tour, the pressures of high expectations, personal struggles, and a frail marriage with Bobby Brown saw her slipping into a state of emotional and physical turmoil. Roberts reveals that Whitney had started to show signs of severe stress and illness during the tour, ultimately leading to the cancellation of multiple performances due to various health issues, vocal strain, and mudslinging rumors about her personal life.

The core of Roberts’ unsettling revelations stems from a night in June 1994 in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Whitney’s only daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was accompanied by a group of children that included a teenage girl who was not one of Bobby Brown’s biological children. This girl, who was older than the others, was said to have acted as Bobbi Kristina’s unofficial caretaker. In a shocking twist, it’s alleged that Bobby Brown approached the teenage girl during one of Whitney’s performances, leading to a disturbing claim that he had molested her.
