I just saw it and thought Angela Basset did a good job with the directing. It was well put together and the acting was good.'

However Im upset that they called this thing Whitney when it wasnt about her. It would have been better titled Whitney and Bobby since it was exclusively about their relationship. Nothing about Whitney's childhood and how she became a star. I also hated how abruptely this thing ended. There was like a good 15+ years of her life left! If they were going to make this about Whitney and Bobby, dont stop just as problems star. Go through the ups and the downs and that includes their divorce.

I will say that at least Lifetime was able to use her music so it didnt end up the mess that Aaliyah's movie was

Whitney was doing drugs before Bobby and she got him into drugs and not the other way around? Did Bobby Brown consult on this film?

Them love scenes were pretty risque. I wasnt expecting to see Bobby's head between her legs and him pretty much nekkid. Remember Bobbi Kristina got all offended that AB didnt choose her to play Whitney. Did she really want to do those scenes against someone playing her daddy?

I still remember all the rumors about "Nippy" BITD.  Depending on what you heard or believed, she was a lesbian, a two-timer (Eddie Murphy AND Randall Cunningham) or an all-around ho.

I imagine a lot of people will call her an opportunist, but she kept silent after the likes of Bobby Brown dragged her and dragged Whitney through the mud for years. I'm glad she is telling her story.

 

That's what my feeling was at first - why now? But her book may be closest to the true story as we'll ever know it.

I watched Robyn's Dateline interview a few hours ago, and I agree.  Their friendship was long and intimate and I have a feeling Robyn knew Whitney at her most authentic self.

I do think Robyn was Whitney's soulmate and the one holding her together as much as she could. You could tell in that Dateline interview how much Robyn still loved her and how much it stung to be cut out of Whitney's life when she was.

 

I don't think anyone knew Whitney the way Robyn did, and despite Cissy's (and others) objections, Whitney brought Robyn along before and after she experienced success. Probably because she trusted her deeply and knew no one would look out for her the same way. And really, we've already seen that no one else in Whitney's circle had the same kind of respect for her - especially her own damn family.
