While I was doing my daily entertainment news reading, I ran across a touching statement from Whitney's longtime friend and ex assistant, Robyn Crawford

Yes THAT Robyn!!

Old school folk know who I'm talking about.
Her statement was said a lot without saying a lot of you know what I mean.
Thinking about her took me back to when rumors were swirling around about her relationship with Whitney
So I started to look around and see what info I could find
Sure I found speculations like how Robyn was x'd out of her life
Due to fam and label pressure they got rid of her
Her consolation prize was a Benz, jewelry, salary and a phone card(???)
Found speculation that there was a hit on Robyn's life.
After Robyn slapped Whit at the Super Bowl, Cissy slapped Robyn and it was a wrap after that it was a wrap
But this got me to thinking
Could that be a major part of what happened to her?
Was she having a struggle maintaining her image and denying who she really was?
What major black singer (or actor) is openly gay?
Key words....major
And why is there a fear of that within the black community?
