Franklin, the source says, had to be sure to perform at Radio City because it was a make-up show for one missed in due to health problems. She tells Lifeline Live:. Cissy Houston and I have been longtime friends for almost 50 years. I have four invitations and parking passes that were sent to me for the funeral. People are getting their information from the wrong source.
The intelligent and the thoughtful thing to do would be to respect and have some sensitivity to the moment. Cissy does not need ridiculous speculation and neither do I—particularly at this time. Aretha Franklin has accused Dionne Warwick of lying about her at Whitney Houston's funeral, it has been reported.
Franklin is said to have sent a "lengthy fax" at the beginning of the week before calling reporters about a "libellous statement" Warwick allegedly made at Houston's funeral, which took place five years ago. Billboard reports via AP that Franklin said Warwick claimed she attended Houston's funeral when she did not.
At the time, Franklin said she was suffering from swollen feet and had to rest before performing at Radio City Music Hall in New York, which she was contractually obligated to do. Warwick had told funeral-goers that Franklin was there and introduced her, before realising that she was not in attendance.
She is her godmother. In fact Houston's godmother was Darlene Love, something clarified by Houston's mother Cissy in the days after the funeral. It is set to begin at noon ET.
