Clive Davis Confirms Whitney Houston's Secret Affair

Davis sat down with Extra and dished on Houston's relationship with her former assistant.

In her biography, A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston, Robyn also talked about the romance. 

The music executive confirmed their romance, saying it was short-lived but passionate. Davis said they explored that relationship in the biopic because publications got Whitney's story wrong after her death.

According to the executive, many people tied her drug addiction to being a "frustrated lesbian," but it wasn't true. Instead, Davis said she had other affairs and relationships with men, including Jermaine Jackson.

Davis praised Naomi Ackie's performance as the legendary Whitney Houston saying her audition tape stood out from the beginning.

She blew him away the way the I Wanna Dance with Somebody singer did in the early Eighties. He revealed that the actress lip-synced the entire music seamlessly making it a believable performance.

Stanley Tucci portrayed him in the movie and Davis also praised his performance. He said,

Davis is proud of the movie and believes the late singer would be too. The movie was released to theaters last weekend under the title, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, one of Houston's many hit songs.

Although Davis is impressed with its turnout, critics had mostly average reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes rating it 48 percent, Metacritic giving it 55 percent, and IMDb scoring it the highest 6.6/10.

Some of the iconic reprisals in the movie include Whitney Houston performing at the Super Bowl in 1991 at 27. She wore the iconic white tracksuit and the Marc Bouwer golden dress with a turban in South Africa in 1994.

The movie also explored the making of the classic movie, The Bodyguard, and its record-breaking soundtrack.
