Prayers Up: Cissy Houston Reportedly Diagnosed With Dementia
Cissy Houston has been through a lot over the last few years. From the tragic death of her daughter Whitney Houston to the devastating loss of Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, the Grammy award-winning Gospel singer is now said to be battling another huge feat.
According to Radar Online, the 84-year-old is reportedly suffering from dementia. A source close to the Houston family matriarch allegedly said, "She's in the early stages of dementia... She repeats herself a lot and doesn't remember what she says. She just says she's getting old," in a statement to the popular blog.
New reports of Whitney Houston and her brother, Gary, allegedly being sexually molested by their cousin Dee Dee Warwick has feuled concerns about Cissy Houston's health. "The family is already fractured enough. but she has had enough clarity to know what's going on with these claims and is very upset."
Earlier this week, Radar Online reported that Cissy Houston disowned her son after he shared details of the alleged sexual assault for the first time in the new Whitney documentary.
The Houston family has yet to confirm reports of Cissy Houston's alleged condition.
