The FBI recently released a few files relating to the late singer, Whitney Houston. One of the files contained an investigation into an extortion attempt against the singer, by someone she knew, who was threatening to go public with Whitney's secrets if she didn't pay $100,000. To avoid the messy publicity, John Houston, Whitney's late dad, who was also her manager at the time, paid up.

The FBI file did not release the name of the individual, who extorted Whitney. However, a few months ago, Houston's mom, Cissy Houston, stated she disliked Whitney's lesbian friend, Robyn Crawford, as she always behaved like she had something over/on the singer. Unless the FBI names the individual, some might think it was Crawford.
