You know when I first heard Robyn had now come out to tell her story, I though here we go, another opportunist seeking to make money off Whitney's name. However after listening to this interview, and seeing the genuine emotion in Robyn's eyes that expressed how much love she had for Whitney, I have to take a stand back and give her respect. She was not bitter in the way she spoke, but spoke with simple love and honor, for her dear friend. It was public knowledge already that she and Whitney had an intimate relationship, and she has every right to talk about her side of the story. However this does not mean, that people should start bashing Bobby Brown. I do truly believe Whitney loved both Robyn and Bobby in different ways, and they both loved Whitney. People have to remember Bobby Brown was young at the time, he had been part of a successful teen group, then a solo artist. He lived in the shadow of Whitney fame when they married, and his career took a back seat. The timing was not right for them, but the love was there in the beginning. He was just not at a mature stage in his life, to be able to deal with her level of fame, and with this all sorts of complications arose in the marriage. Whitney also had her own demons before she married Bobby Brown. Bobby has moved on now with his wife and kids, and grown as a person and is at peace with his life, so just let him be. As for Robyn, she just wants to share with the world her love and loyalty to Whitney.

I’m on the same page with Robyn I’ve always looked at Whitney like a human being first and your average girl next door, who you could be cool with. Her talent stands alone and will always stand the test of time. Her personal life was none of our business, but it became the focal point when she was going through some tumultuous things in her life. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t see her face or hear her voice. Whitney was an Angel with titanium wings with a heart of gold and had conquered all the task that she was sent to do and return to the heavens and went home to God. Glad I was alive to know who she was from beginning to Heaven. This book will be heartfelt I’m certain, but this changes nothing for me, I love Whitney with all my heart and soul. I’m elated Robyn gets to tell her own truth finally. 💜💜💜🙏🏽

Robyn was trying to do bring to light the beautiful things about Whitney's character that no one knew about. Their intentions did not align. Likely there was a "mutual" understanding that the interview was to talk about WH's beauty etc. The way he conducted the interview didn't hold up his end of that understanding, and probably angered her. She even very politely and under the radar called him out on it near the end of the interview, it felt like.

Just look at her eyes full of tears and sadness, she is still grieving after Whitney's death, still mourning. Again, she talks about her with such humility. Whitney's family and the people at that time should have let her be with Robyn. I know "the eighties" was a tough time "to come out" especially after Whitney's upbringing, being raised in a Baptist church and also being an African American woman. Must've been really tough! GOD BLESS YOU ROBYN. Whitney's Mamma should get over it. I'm 99% sure that if the music industry at that time and also the public would have let Whitney choose to be with Robyn, this woman would still be alive today and full of happiness.

@@luvangelmyers2731 in that case, i guess Whitney slept with everyone in her camp because none of them were his biggest fans. Even a longtime background singer from the mid-late 1990s until 2010) of hers talked about how he tried to sleep with her. I wouldn't be surprised if Robyn's book talked about some other things that a couple of ladies she employed said he tried to do sexually to them.

They calculated that lie to get interest in their documentary because the other documentary was so well received. Robyn loved Whitney you can feel it in this interview.

A lot had went on between 2000-2012 with Whitney. I know Robyn was her best friend but maybe she didn’t want to share that with Robyn at the time. We will never know since Whitney is no longer here.

For those who think that she is doing for the clout, I think this interview here proves different. She really love Whitney as more than a friend. I do think that if Robyn was by Whitney’s side years prior to her death, I think the overcome would have been different. I think Whitney would have finished Rehab, go her voice back strong and clean up her image. I think her family was worst than her father, at least we all knew out loud he was money hungry, but I think her mother and older brother was chasing the fame using Whitney. They were envious because she had the fame and fortune that they both wanted. The other brother was using her for clout and notoriety... easy way to get into important place and all the drugs in the world. Pat, child that is another story. Bobby, I fell bad for him also because he was totally the blamed for a lot of things that Whitney was doing herself prior to meeting him. Yes, he career was stalled while Her went up. However, he took a lot of hits from the public about Whitney’s demised, yes he didn’t make it any better but it was all a disaster.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I thought the interviewer's approach was fine. Given the previous comments on here, I was expecting something much rougher and more aggressive. He didn't interrupt or come across as nasty. I thought he did pretty well. Robyn was unclear- about how she and Whitney stayed in contact, about why she has chosen this particular moment to publish the book. She didn't really answer that. It does raise eyebrows. I thought the interviewer was respectful and asked some decent questions. I like Robyn but her answers weren't complete or even clear at times.
