Whitney, as she was popularly called by friends and colleagues, was a shining star in her prime and it all began from a simple church choir that her mother enrolled her into.

Aside from music, Whitney also had a short career in the movie industry, although it was alleged that she landed a role in “The Bodyguard” after she was trying to get clean from substance abuse.

As some people may know, Whitney experienced a tough childhood, as her mother was a very strict teacher, who always wanted her to toughen up. 

While this helped, it did not in any way help against the sexual abuse that the musician reportedly went through at the hands of a family members

Also, Whitney’s parents were stout christians, who took their religion very seriously and never entertained anything that would shame the name of God.

At a young age, Bobbi was also introduced to the the public’s prying eyes and there was little she could do about it as her mother was a famous icon.
