Thanks to Lifetime (and director Angela Bassett), Cissy Houston has been forced to speak out on behalf of the Houston estate, and they are not pleased that Whitney’s life is being dissected by “continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her.” In an exclusive to ET, Cissy spoke against the upcoming biopic saying,

“Lifetime has chosen to go ahead with the movie about Whitney in spite of my family’s objections. No one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby,” she said in a statement to ET. “In the two years since Whitney’s death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her. I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn’t know her. We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please please let her rest.”
