No doubt that "National Enquirer's cover", showing a woman who appears to be Whitney Houston lying in a casket with her nickname, "Nippy," written on its silk lining, provoked widespread outrage. It appears to have been taken in a viewing room prepared to receive guests for Houston's service. While the photo has not been officially confirmed to be Houston, neither Whigham nor anyone from the Houston family has stated that it was fraudulent.It "seems doubtful" the photo was leaked by a family member, the "Times" reports, citing the Houston family's attempts to keep the media away from the service. It is very well known that Houston's funeral was invitation-only to preserve privacy, although an "Associated Press" camera was allowed to film the service, which was streamed live online.
It has to be mentioned though that the "National Enquirer" had
hired on its recent issue a model photographed lying face down on a bathroom floor, seemingly in character as the late legendary songstress. The front page advertises "Exclusive Crime Scene Photos," but closer examination reveals a tiny disclaimer admitting to "photo re-creation."
Conclusion ? It is more than obvious that the "National Enquirer" is setting its sights on cashing in on Houston's death.
