Robyn Crawford held nothing back when she came face-to-face with Wendy Williams nearly twenty years after the former radio host's notorious interview with the late Whitney Houston.
During the sit-down, Robyn, who's currently promoting her new memoir A Song For You: My Life with Whitney Houston, discussed the 2003 interview, in which Whitney confronted Wendy over her years of gossip about her, including her drug use, financial issues, marital struggles (Whitney was married to Bobby Brown at the time), and her then-speculative romantic relationship with Robyn.
âIâve never met Whitney, I had never met her,â Wendy told Robyn, who quickly retorted: âYou act like, you talk like you did."
âIâve only seen her in concert once and that was at the Beacon Theater in Boston when I was a burgeoning radio star in college radio," Wendy clarified, seemingly ignoring Robyn's jab. "Iâve only talked to her once, and that was on the radio. And that was that interview."
"I heard that interview, I got a call from my former assistant. I wasnât working with Whitney. And she said Whitneyâs going to be on Wendy Williams. I said, âWhat do you mean sheâs going to be on Wendy?â" Robyn recalled. âThat was the cumulative, fed up Whitney Houston that I heard.â
Wendy then asked if Whitney was âfed up with me or fed up with the world?â To which, Robyn responded, âYou had been talking about Whitney and myself for so long,â referring to rumors that she and Whitney, who were longtime best friends, had been in a romantic relationship.
âBut it all came true. A lot of what I said is in this book. A lot of things I said were in this book,â Wendy replied, noting that in Robyn's new memoir she confirms their relationship and reveals details about their love story.
However, Robyn seemed to ignore Wendy's comment, only acknowledging the far reach of Wendy's seemingly hurtful words. âEveryone lived by the radio back then. Weâre in the car, youâre talking like you lived with us, like youâre roommates with us. Weâre in the car, sitting still and Whitney would say, âWho the⊠who is she? Who is this woman? I donât even know what she looks like,ââ Robyn shared before adding that she and Wendy planned to do something about Wendy's loose lips.
âWe were gonna⊠We didnât know what you looked like and our plan was to go down to Hudson Street ⊠and wait for you right outside,â Robyn told Wendy, who looked completely shocked.
"I can't even fight. I would have run," the 55-year-old host replied.
âWe werenât gonna fight, we just wanted to see you face-to-face and have a chat," Robyn's said with a mischievous smile.
Williams then said with a sigh of relief: "Iâm frightened. Oh my gosh, I dodged that bullet."
As previously reported, Robyn opened up about her romantic relationship with Whitney as well as their decades-spanning friendship in her memoir.
