Whitney and Cissy were not biological mother and daughter?

Any truth to this rumor? Supposedly, actress Teresa Graves from the '70s series GET CHRISTIE LOVE! was Whitney's bio mom. John Houston had an affair with her, and after Teresa died tragically, Cissy took Whitney and raised her as her own. I never did think Whitney resembled Cissy in the slightest. Teresa would have been around 15 when she gave birth to Whitney, which could explain a backdoor adoption as John Houston was in his 40s at the time!

They both wore Eva Gabor wigs—that doesn’t mean they were related.

Who's John Houston?

Whitney sounds so much like a young Cissy. This rumor is unfounded.

He was the father of Whitney’s twin sister Angelica.

Whitney was actually my child. I would have been a fantastic mother, but I was scheduled to make that Costa Rica film. Not that horrible Lloyd Webber movie!

“Whitney Houston No Remake of Get Christie Love”

Is this supposed to be English?

r4 She does sort of sound like whitney.

She certainly didn’t get her looks from Cissy. Her father was a handsome man but Cissy had a hard face, not so pretty.

Teresa Graves died in October, 2002 at the age of 54.

So Cissy took Whitney in and 'raised her as her own' when Whitney was 39 years old ? Did Whitney have some kind of developmental disorder we don't know about and had to be raised by a surrogate mother at 39 ?

Wow the striking is compelling. The only problem I have with conspiracies like this people who knew sissy at the time would have had to put together that she was never pregnant for 9 months. How could that be possible?

Holy cow that’s one rumor i never heard a whisper of. I could believe it though.
