Very sad. Hands down the GSOAT, but she never had a chance, and after Robin left, the deal was done. She loved her family, but I'm not sure they... Robin was a true friend, sister and confidante. I cant wait to hear from Robin. Unbelievable this is the documentary the family approved of. There was little to no focus on the good she did. smh

My heartbreak goes out to Ms. Sissy, and her daughter Ms. Whitney, who was out numbered by the wolves, her sons, her husband, (her childrens dad), her daughter's husband Bobby Brown & many, many others. They were up against the odds in their efforts to save their daughters. This is nothing new, little to no support for Black Women efforts to save their children in America's War Against Black Women.

This documentary was fantastic! I really appreciated them speaking on the sexual abuse, it causes mental torment that lasts a lifetime! We easily forget that celebrities are humans trying to navigate this same life we are all trying to survive. God bless Whitney, she did the best she could.
