View StoryVivica plays Whitney's sister-in-law Pat Houston, who was also the executor of her estate. “She basically became the surrogate mother for Bobbi Kristina,” Vivica explained.
Joy Rovaris plays Bobbi, who passed away in 2015 after being found unconscious in a bathtub. Demetria McKinney plays the late legend Whitney. Vivica said, “When you see Demitria play Whitney Houston it will give you chills.”

She added, “I want our fans to truly know this… we did this with absolute love and respect for the memory and legacy of Whitney Houston and the memory of Bobbi Kristina.”
