Dionne Warwick Addresses Molestation Claims Against Her Sister in ‘Whitney’ Film, ‘Totally Hogwash’

he cousin of Whitney Houston and sister of Dee Dee Warwick, has addressed allegations that her sister molested Houston and her younger brother in an interview on Larry King Now. The allegations surfaced in the recent Whitney documentary, in which the “How Will I Know” singer’s longtime assistant, Mary Jones, claims that Whitney told her that Dee Dee Warwick molested her as a child.

During the Larry King interview, Dionne Warwick stood by her sister and claimed that the allegations are “totally hogwash.”

“I have tried to refrain from responding to that,” she said. “First of all, it’s totally hogwash. My sister would never, ever have done anything to do any harm to any child, especially within our family. And for those lies to be perpetuated in this so-called documentary film [Whitney], I think it’s evil. I will never, and I mean this, ever forgive those who perpetuated this insanity,” she added.

In July, Houston’s mother, Cissy, gave a statement about the events and said that she and her sister were only made aware of the allegations two days before the film’s screening at the Cannes Film Festival on May 16. “We cannot overstate the shock and horror we feel and the difficulty we have believing that my niece Dee Dee Warwick… molested two of my three children,” the singer’s mother stated.

Whitney’s brother, Gary Garland, claims that Dee Dee molested him between the ages of 7-9, though he was not aware of his sister’s alleged abuse until the film’s release. Whitney Houston died in 2012, with the coroner’s report saying the cause of death was drowning and the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use.
