NeNe Leakes Gets Surprising Gift from Whitney Houston's Mom

We had no idea that Real Housewife of Atlanta NeNe Leakes knew Cissy Houston, mother of the late music legend, Whitney Houston, but apparently the two are friends. NeNe recently received a gift from Cissy, which she shared with us on Twitter.

"Just got a delivery from Cissy Houston! I'm honored that she wanted me to have this!," NeNe posted.

The present was a copy of Mrs. Houston's memoir, Remembering Whitney, which was just released at the end of January. The tell-all account includes never-seen-before photographs of the Grammy winner, as well as her mother's take on Whitney's turbulent marriage to Bobby Brown. The book has already caused a stir, with Cissy’s granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina, slamming it on Twitter.

Do you plan on reading the memoir?
