Now angry insiders are blasting the Houston family for making the shocking claims, with Dee Dee — who died in 2008 at age 63 — unable to defend herself. "Dee Dee probably turned to drugs over hiding that she was gay," said a former employee of Whitney, "but others
say the same about Whitney. It's easier for the family to blame Whitney's sexuality
and her drug use on being molested. But this is the second time that Dee Dee's been used like this!"

Dee Dee, said the insider, had also taken the rap for her sister
Dionne Warwick's bankruptcy in 1993. "Dionne loved Dee Dee," said the industry veteran, "and always had a job for her as a backup singer. But when Dionne went bankrupt, it ended up getting blamed on Dee Dee!"

Dionne was about to lose everything she owned in 1993, as the government went after $1.5 million in back taxes. American Express added that she owed the company nearly $50,000. Some insiders blamed Whitney's family when it was revealed Dionne had borrowed $150,000 from the pop star — with a source leaking that Whitney gave Dionne the cash because "Dee Dee had run up more bills!"

Another source insisted that Dee Dee's "drug habit costs $450 a day," and complained that's why Dionne was "virtually working just to keep her head above water." But in 2002, Dionne herself made headlines after being busted at Miami International Airport with a bag of marijuana — and Dee Dee was long dead when Dionne filed for bankruptcy in 2013 with over $10 million of tax debt.

"Dionne put up with an awful lot from Dee Dee," said Whitney's former employee. "She was bitter about Dionne's success, and said some awful things to her. Maybe it wasn't even Dionne's fault if other people blamed Dee Dee during her bankruptcy. But now we're waiting to see how Dionne is going to handle these new stories about her sister!"
