Cissy Houston is not happy about LIFETIME's planned Whitney Houston biopic and wants fans, foes, critics and Angela Bassett to "Please Let Her Rest." Find out what else Cissy said about her beloved Nippy inside and watch BTS video of Angela Bassett, Deborah Cox and YaYa Decosta on the set...
Outside of her memoir, highly-publicized Oprah interview and the antics of estranged-granddaughter Bobbi Kristina, Cissy Houston has remained out of the spotlight since the death of her daughter Whitney Houston...until now.
Thanks to Lifetime (and director Angela Bassett), Cissy has been forced to speak out on behalf of the Houston estate, and they are not pleased that yet again, Whitney's life is being dissected by "continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her." In an exclusive to ET, Cissy spoke against the upcoming biopic saying,
"Lifetime has chosen to go ahead with the movie about Whitney in spite of my family's objections. No one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby," she said in a statement to ET. "In the two years since Whitney's death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her. I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn't know her. We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please please let her rest."
Cissy Houston just dropped the mic.....#nuffsaid
On the set.....
ET is all up in the Whitney Houston mess! In addition to talking to Cissy, ET went behind the scenes of Lifetime's Whitney Houston biopic for an exclusive first look at the set. Speaking to director Angela Bassett (who commented on Bobbi Kristina's love for her mother), Yaya Decosta (who said she's ignoring the naysayers) and Deborah Cox (who sings a line from "The Greatest Love Of All") we get a taste of what we can expect. Check it...
