The Whitney Files

2011 Pre-GRAMMY Gala & Salute to Industry Icons with Clive Davis Honoring David Geffen

Even 13 months after her tragic death, the life of Whitney Houston still manages to shock and awe — and if a 128-page-record released by the FBI today has any say, the singer definitely had just as much insanity outside of her life as she did in it.

Due to many requests for the info due to the Freedom of Information Act, we now know that the “I Will Always Love You” songstress had quite a couple of interesting things going on that involved actual federal help — including an extortion plot from a woman who claimed to have “personal info” on the singer, which Whitney, and her father John eventually paid off in an undisclosed amount (the woman originally demanded $250,000).

Also interesting is a man who seemed to get angrier and angrier that none of his fan mail was ever answered by the singer — over 70 of them, according to one note.

    “Miss Whitney, why can’t you respond to my 70 plus letters,” he wrote. “Miss Whitney, I really am in love with you. Please, believe me. You probably think that I am crazy. Well, meebe [sic] I am. I just can’t give up.”

    Observed the FBI agent looking into the matter: “In conversation with [the individual] it was apparent that he is obsessed with Whitney Houston.”

    The investigator went on to describe the man as a “loner,” but after interviewing him, the agent concluded “he believed this ‘crazy idea’ would have hurt Houston’s reputation so he did not follow through on it.”

Sometimes, we honestly forget all of the bad celebrities have with all of the good and sometimes, excess good. Whitney’s world seemed to spin faster than most and unfortunately, it never truly seemed to slow down even behind the scenes.
