Extortion, Secrets, & the FBI!

According to E! Online, the FBI releases files on Whitney Houston. Houston was the subject of an investigation by the agency. Reportedly, the agency investigated an extortion attempt on behalf of Houston; however “agents and prosecutors determined no crime occurred”. On 12/3/92, extortion memorandum was sent to Houston's New Jersey-based management company, Nippy Incorporated. Subsequently, Houston and her father, John Houston, received a letter from an unidentified woman’s attorney “claiming his client will reveal certain details of Whitney's private life to several publications unless his client is paid $100,000. The lawyer then upped that amount to $250,000 in a successive letter that stipulated the woman had intimate details regarding [the superstar's] romantic relationships”. Shockingly, Houston decides to pay the unidentified woman; the woman signed a confidentiality pact with Nippy Inc. for an undisclosed sum of money.
