While ‘Whitney,’ the first authorized documentary about the life of pop icon Whitney Houston, left jaws dropped from its recounts of the singer’s troubled dealings with drugs, rumored lesbian relationship, and tumultuous relationship with ex-husband/singer Bobby Brown, the most shocking allegation from the film came from the singer’s assistant who claim the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer confided in her that she was molested as a child by her cousin, singer Dee Dee Warwick. The claim was substantiated by Houston’s brother, Gary, who claimed he too was a victim of Dee Dee’s advances.

Since those accusations came to light, Houston’s mother – Cissy – adamantly denied the claims in a lengthy statement (click here to read). Now, Dee Dee’s sister – the famed Dionne Warwick – has followed suit. In a recent sit down with Larry King, the ‘Walk on By’ hitmaker referred to the ‘evil’ allegations as ‘hogwash’ and ‘unforgivable.’
