It really makes sense when you think about.
When you look at her relationships with her mother, Robyn, Bobby Brown, and even some of her platonic friends, she always easily controlled by those she loved and had this desperate desire to please.
Like Bebe Winans has talked about she payed the down $50,000 down payment for his house and was surprised, hurt even when he tried to give her half the money back.
I think she had great admiration and caring for Clive that fell into that desire to please zone. I could easily see them having a Tommy Mottola/Mariah Carey, Barry Gordy/Diana Ross thing. He probably wouldn’t have even minded Robyn.
Also, I know much of datalounge is in the Whitney was a lesbian camp but I lean more towards a bisexual who probably should have stuck to women because she had shit taste in men(mutual preexisting drug use aside, Bobby always came across as a narcissistic manchild). For instance, she definitely banged Jermaine Jackson. There are enough accounts from various sources that give support to it. As ugly as he has always been, she also had obvious sexual chemistry with Bobby.
