The final days of Whitney Houston’s life have been under a microscope ever since her tragic death on Feb. 11. But a new report adds a new twist to the late singer’s troubled life, claiming that she was at the center of a bitter battle between the two men in her life, Bobby Brown and Ray J.
In the June issue of Vanity Fair, the magazine’s contributing editor, Mark Seal, spoke with several people about the late icon, including Karrine Steffans, who dated both Brown and Ray J.
While speaking with Seal, Steffans claimed that those around Houston were concerned about her relationship with Ray J.
Steffans also recalled a night when Ray J called her over the phone to relay a vicious jab to Brown.
“He said, ‘Is Bob (Bobby Brown) still staying with you?’ I said, ‘Yeah, he’s right here.’ And Ray said, ‘Tell him I f*cked both of his chicks, you and now his wife,’” Steffans recalled.
“Bob’s big thing was everyone blamed him for her downfall, but when he met her she was already using drugs. He always felt very angry about that,” Steffans added. “He told me, ‘What everybody saw wasn’t the real Whitney.’ He always said her private persona—which you saw on ‘Being Bobby Brown’—was who she really was.”
