Whitney Houston Was Molested By Cousin Dee Dee Warwick, According To New Documentary

Posted: 16 May 2018 07:32 PM PDT

Whitney Houston and her half-brother Gary were molested as children by their cousin Dee Dee Warwick, according to the new documentary Whitney.

On Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, filmmaker Kevin Macdonald told Vanity Fair he suspected the singer had "suffered childhood sexual abuse" as he watched hundreds of hours of private footage.

He told the publication:

"There was something very disturbed about her, because she was never comfortable in her own skin... She seemed kind of asexual in a strange way. She was a beautiful woman, but she was never particularly sexy. I've seen and done some filming with people who have suffered childhood sexual abuse, and there was just something about her manner that was reminiscent to me of that sort of shrinking—a lack of comfort in her own physicality that felt, maybe that is what it was."

After he was told off-the-record about the abuse, Macdonald finally persuaded Houston's longtime assistant Mary Jones to come forward with her account.

Jones said in her emotional interview:

"[Houston] looked at me and said, 'Mary, I was molested at a young age too. But it wasn't by a man—it was a woman.'... She had tears in her eyes. She says, 'Mommy don't know the things we went through.' I said, 'Have you ever told your mother?' She says, 'No.' I said, 'Well, maybe you need to tell her.' She said, 'No, my mother would hurt somebody if I told her who it was.' She just had tears rolling down her face, and I just hugged her. I said, 'One day when you get the nerve, you need to tell your mother. It will lift the burden off you.'"

However, Whitney never told mom Cissy Houston about her painful childhood trauma. Jones revealed:

"I think she was ashamed... she used to say, 'I wonder if I did something to make [Dee Dee] think I wanted her.' I said, 'Stop. A predator is a predator is a predator.' If Cissy had known, she would have done something about it, because Cissy loves her children.'"

According to Macdonald, Cissy has been informed about the accusation and was "very upset." He added:

"I think she will watch the film at some stage, but it's obviously up to her when she wants to do that."

When discussing his addiction issues, fellow alleged victim Gary told the filmmaker:

"Being a child—being seven, eight, nine years old—and being molested by a female family member of mine. My mother and father were gone a lot, so we stayed with a lot of different people... four, five different families who took care of us."

While the film was initially going to emphasize Houston's alleged relationship with longtime best friend and employee Robyn Crawford, Macdonald ultimately decided against it.

"I initially thought the story was maybe about her sexuality—that she was somebody who was not able to be gay [publicly]... I realized that actually is not the story... [Houston] only had, as far as I'm aware, one proper homosexual relationship, with Robyn Crawford, which people know about. I think that only lasted quite a short time. I found some documentation that proves, without a doubt, that it was a romantic relationship between them... The real story, as I dug deeper, had to do with her family, and to do with race, I suppose, and her childhood."

Additionally, Crawford declined to participate in the film.

Whitney passed away on February 11, 2012, while Dee Dee died on October 18, 2008.

Tiffany Haddish Has Talked To Beyoncé Since That Biting Scandal And She Says…

Posted: 16 May 2018 06:27 PM PDT

The bite heard around the world!

As we reported in March, Tiffany Haddish told GQ that an unnamed actress bit Beyoncé at an after party for JAY-Z's concert.

After the story broke, the Beyhive did some investigating and pointed the finger at stars such as Sanaa Lathan and Sara Foster, who have both denied the accusation.

On Wednesday, The Last O.G. actress attended the Turner's upfronts presentation, and revealed she has spoken to the Lemonade singer since the scandal went viral!

The funny lady told People:

"I didn't think it was going to blow up like that... We've talked since then, and it's been cool.... Nobody's trippin' except for everybody else."

Despite achieving newfound fame with her role in Girls Trip last summer, Miz Haddish says her life hasn't changed that much.

"My life has changed in so many ways, but not that many ways... The only thing is I work on a regular basis and I'm able to provide for my family even better now."

As we reported earlier this month, Lathan told Health's June 2018 issue that the biting rumor is "the most absurd thing [she's] ever been involved with."

The mystery continues!

The father of the bride is doing well!

Meghan Markle's Sister Hospitalized After 'Paparazzi Confrontation'!

Posted: 16 May 2018 04:40 PM PDT

A family hasn't had this much trouble with a wedding since the Starks.

Just a day after we learned Meghan Markle's father had to have heart surgery following the stress from a staged photo scandal, the sister who set up the whole thing is having her own paparazzi problems.

TMZ reports Meghan's estranged half-sister Samantha Markle was hospitalized with a possible broken ankle and fractured knee on Wednesday after what her boyfriend Mark is calling a "paparazzi confrontation" in their home state of Florida.

He says the couple were driving when a pap suddenly pulled into the lane in front of him to get a photo, causing him to swerve -- and crash into a concrete barrier.

Samantha, who is battling MS, hit the windshield then fell to the floor with her leg twisted backward. Mark says he drove her straight to the ER.

He claims the photog drove away from the scene. It's unclear how he was sure the car was paparazzi and not just another Florida driver.

A story like that really shows you the merit of staging fake candids... Well, we certainly wish Samantha a speedy recovery.

Hilary Duff's 'Asshole Neighbor' Plans To Lawyer Up In Response To Weed Accusation!

Posted: 16 May 2018 03:44 PM PDT

The "asshole neighbor" saga continues!

As we reported on Wednesday, Hilary Duff went on an EPIC Instagram rant against apartment mate Dieter Addison because he allegedly smokes "cigarettes and weed all night long."

That same day, Addison told Page Six he is in the process of hiring lawyers against the Younger star as he does NOT smoke marijuana and lives with a "sober companion."

While the Soho dweller -- who is the grandson of wealthy businessman H. Dieter Holterbosch -- has received complaints from Duff about his cigarette use, he says his apartment is a smoke-friendly residence.

He told the publication:

"I live with a sober companion... I've been sober for months now. I smoke a ton of cigarettes, don't get me wrong, but this is a smoking building, which is why I signed the lease here."

NYC is truly a concrete jungle!

'Yanny Or Laurel' Creator Gives The REAL Answer! That Voice Is Saying…

Posted: 16 May 2018 03:31 PM PDT

The Yanny/Laurel debate is over!

On Wednesday, after a daylong national debate, Wired found the high school students who first posted the audio clip.

Freshman Katie Hetzel explained she had recorded the voice from a vocabulary site for a school project and found her classmates divided on what it was saying. Then her friend Fernando Castro posted it to his Instagram as a poll, and in turn his friend Roland Szabo posted it to Reddit -- from there it got put on Twitter where it quickly went viral.

But the important part? The recording, which is of an opera singer with excellent diction speaking the word aloud for Vocabulary.com, is of the word...

"LAUREL."

So congratulations, #TeamLaurel. LOLz, did you really think Chrissy Teigen was wrong??

Actually, experts say there is no wrong here. Apparently the ambiguity lies in the frequency we hear at -- the higher frequency sounds make the listener hear "yanny" while the lower frequency sounds like "laurel."

For many people, the ears hear one at first before adjusting to the frequency and hearing the other.

Which did YOU hear???

Hilary Duff Calls Out 'Asshole Neighbor' In EPIC Instagram Rant!

Posted: 16 May 2018 03:02 PM PDT

Don't mess with Hilary Duff!

On Wednesday, the Younger actress went on Instagram Story and unleashed an epic rant against her "asshole neighbor" -- who she identifies as Dieter Addison -- for allegedly smoking "cigarettes and weed all night long."

Photo: Did Hilary Really Joke About Sharon Tate's Murder?

The former Lizzie McGuire star said in the clip:

"Calling all New Yorkers with asshole neighbors—really open to any advice you have. My neighbor smokes cigarettes and weed all night long. My apartment reeks. Seriously, what do I do?"

The mother then calls out the dude for being a spoiled brat!

"We know your parents pay your rent. We know you've never worked a day in your life—must be nice. Have some respect for your neighbors who work hard to live in that building. Don't be a dick dude—and put your trash down the shoot."

Because of Dieter's reported antics, the singer was unable to get a good night of sleep. She wrote:

"Slept 0 minutes last night because of Dieter the [eggplant emoji].Worked 15 hours yesterday and back at work again at 5:30 a.m. This is the real world Dieter the [eggplant emoji]. Your smoking ain't delicious."

Miz Duff was so fired up, she even found Dieter's reported Insta page and drew cat ears and whiskers over it!

Lastly, Hilary tells her apartment mate to "stop breaking all your furniture when you fight with your girlfriend or boyfriend" as it scares her and son Luca.

She advises him that "therapy is cheaper," and to "get a vape."
