Whitney Houston - Diva short life and tragedy repeats with daughter, adopted child

When talking about the artists with the most tearful lives, fans cannot help but mention the case of Whitney Houston.

Once a top diva in the world with a series of hits and epic shows, the black female singer passed away in poverty at the age of 48, leaving countless regrets in the hearts of music lovers around the world. .

The road to becoming a Pop Queen

On August 9, 1963, Whitney Houston was born into the boundless happiness of the couple John and Kissy Houston. The career of the Queen of Pop was started at the age of 11. She is the youngest in a family of many religious generations. Her mother and aunt are two famous vocalists in the gospel blues world. From a young age, Whitney was taught to sing well to repay God.

In February 1985, the singer's debut album, Whitney Houston, was released, becoming the launch pad for the solo disc You Give Good Love to sweep across American music charts at that time. Whitney's elegant, strong, and powerful voice touched the hearts of millions of music-loving audiences, bringing her career up like a kite. She was invited to participate in many famous TV shows, record sales reached a record level.

The peak of Whitney Houston's career came in the early 1990s when the movie Bodyguard appeared on the screen with the participation of Kevin Costner. Whitney plays a famous girl who is hunted by a maniac, so she hires a brave bodyguard to protect herself. Whitney recorded 6 songs for the film, most notably the song I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton.

Despite the skepticism of the producers, the single was a resounding success and is by far the most famous hit of her records. The soundtrack anthology also entered the top 50 best-selling music albums of the 20th century. Since then, Whitney has been recognized as a world-class diva.

Many famous female singers such as Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Rihanna... admit they grew up with melodies as clear as her holy water. Even in 2017, singer Bebe Rexha wrote a song with the lyrics: "I'm sorry. I'm not the prettiest girl, nor can I sing as well as Whitney. But I still want to dance with someone. other..." to pay tribute to Houston.

Die suddenly in poverty

Career success is like that, but in terms of private life, in a way, the simile "as sad as the eyes of a neighbor's daughter" has been used in W.Houston's life. After being forbidden by her family to have a gay love affair with her childhood friend Robyn Crawford, Whitney found a vibration when standing in front of Eddie Murphy, the most prominent black actor in Hollywood at that time.

Whitney liked Eddie so much that many times actively asked the actor to go on a date. However, her feelings were not reciprocated because Eddie only considered Houston as a close brother in the profession. The culmination of unrequited sadness was when Whitney called Eddie to his home for dinner, intending to bring all that he had kept in his heart for a long time to reveal to him.

She had prepared the most beautiful dress, the most fashionable high heels, the most loving lipstick to welcome him. However, the Beverly Hills Police star never appeared, leaving Whitney lost with a broken heart.

This unrequited love is said to be the reason that pushed Whitney to singer Bobby Brown, the infamous "bad boy" of American showbiz, despite the fact that he had three children with three different women. On the day of Whitney's wedding, Eddie Murphy called to advise her to rethink, but the singer was still determined to commit to this risky marriage.

And Eddie was right, during the time of living together, Bobby was constantly entangled in the law for shameful crimes such as sexual harassment, assault and drunk driving. Even when Whitney was hospitalized for a second-month miscarriage, her husband could not be around because he was in prison.

In the 2000s, rumors began to appear in the press that Whitney and her husband were addicted to drugs. Her debilitated appearance every time she appeared in public, the rumors were pushed further. In it, there were rumors that Whitney was an alcoholic and often " said hello to ghosts" before going on stage to gather courage.

By 2006, after her stamina had reached its peak, Whitney decided to file for divorce. In an interview, Whitney admitted that she and her ex-husband used drugs, but only Brown was an alcoholic. "He changed a lot when he drank. Drunk, it was disgusting," W.Houston shared.

After the divorce, Whitney's career began to flourish again in 2010. However, things lasted less than a year before she had problems with her voice and concerts were canceled again and again. Other times, album sales dropped. Whitney began to appear less on stage and this was also when her life plummeted without brakes.

Her ex-husband Bobby Brown did not let her go when he sued Whitney for a lavish mansion in Beverly Hills, forcing her to move to a hotel. After her father's death, the star's stepmother, Barbara Houston, also filed a lawsuit against her for taking the deceased father's insurance money without paying interest as agreed in the will.

On February 11, 2012, the body of Whitney Houston was found in a room of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Police concluded that the Queen of Pop had a heart attack while taking a bath. The cause of the diva's sudden heart attack was hardening of the arteries due to long-term drug use. In her apartment found many types of tranquilizers.

A year before her death, Whitney had spent all of her assets, including $100 million from her record company contract, and was in severe financial difficulty, having to undergo drug addiction treatment. Even, the singer's record company had to lend her money for treatment to end her love with the "brown fairy" and advance Whitney money to collect the new album.

Similar death of daughter and adopted son

As if fate hadn't been cruel enough, after Whitney Houston's death, all her grief turned to her daughter Bobbi Kristina. In 2011, Bobbi was suspected of drug use after the National Enquirer magazine published pictures of her with white powder strewn. Her biological father denied: "I don't know what this is. My daughter doesn't do that," but Whitney Houston declined to comment on the photo.

After Whitney passed away in 2012, Bobbi's spiritual life completely collapsed. She was hospitalized twice due to fatigue and had to be sedated to calm down. She did not bond with her father after her mother passed away.

Her only support at the moment is Nick Gordon, who was raised as a child by Whitney since the age of 12. This is also the time when the couple realizes that besides brotherly affection, there is also a sprout of love between them.

In late 2012, the couple announced their engagement, but the Houston family did not accept it. More than a month later, the two broke off their engagement. In January 2014, the couple announced to become husband and wife even though they did not register their marriage.

In January 2015, her daughter Whitney was found unconscious in the bathtub at her home with Nick Gordon. Bobbi fell into a deep coma and died 6 months later at the age of 22.

According to the results of the autopsy published in July 2015, Bobbi died from "face down in the water combined with drug poisoning". Her body has marijuana, alcohol, morphine and anti-anxiety and depression drugs.

The passing of Bobbi Kristina became even more tragic when her maternal relatives chose her death as a reason to blame, sue each other, even take advantage of profit.

Meanwhile, the only person who was with Bobbi Kristina while alive, Nick Gordon was banned from attending the funeral. He was blamed for Bobbi's death by discovering her in a coma and taking her to the hospital, although police later concluded there were no signs of assault.

Before that situation, Bobbi's biological father Bobby Brown continued to sue Nick in court for violence and pushed his daughter into addiction. In November 2016, Nick Gordon was ordered by the court to pay $30 million to the Houston family.

The large debt made Nick Gordon distraught. He moved to Orlando, Florida to settle down. It wasn't long before Nick Gordon suffered a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital on the first day of 2019, at the age of 30.

Thus, the three Houston children died in turn with similar deaths: leaving the world at a very young age, all related to drugs, being sued by relatives for money.
