The FBI, in answer to Freedom of Information Act requests, has released files on Whitney Houston.
Among the 128 pages of documents are several fan letters and FBI paperwork regarding an extortion case that eventually was closed without anyone being prosecuted. But it does appear that Houston paid off the person who was demanding hush money.
In 1992 a letter, marked "extortion" by the FBI, was sent to Houston's New Jersey offices of Nippy Inc., in which a woman demanded that unless Houston paid $100,000, "certain details" of her "private life" would be revealed. A later letter upped the ante to $250,000 and claims to have "intimate details" of Houston's "romantic relationships."
The FBI interviewed Houston, two lawyers and her father, John Houston. The singer tells agents she considered the woman "a friend" and "did discuss personal things" with her.http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/03/04/whitney-houstons-fbi-files-released-extortion/1961901/?kjnd=ojBqxOkf9Y8bdSYPe2zi%2FF%2BNZChrS2wEL1XQkVO4u9Cz7ReEKWk%2BUVR7nOyMWfUd-a316abb6-b17a-4ec6-ac6b-bd75edf79fc2_vUjzv7kJSpLPRXOGJ08CQWrEVc7DCXBI0S3%2FCl3lAOKzdF7hzUDGCuJZ6OsVd%2Fig
