Stacy Francis On Whitney Houston: We Need To Let Her Rest

Former ‘X-Factor’ finalist Stacy Francis wants the kids that have been camped out in her Twitter replies since the death of Whitney Houston back in February to take their sleeping bags and go home.

“It’s something I don’t need to really discuss anymore. I don’t want to stir up her fans; we need to let her rest,” she explained to Sister 2 Sister magazine about her altercation with the icon only just two days before her death.

Stacy told S2S that she understands Whitney’s death is still new to her fans, and she just wants to be able to move on from the incident, which she calls a misunderstanding. While the media has reported many versions of the story, including one that had Stacy stalking Whitney and pushing up on her alleged beau Ray J, Stacy contends that no one will really ever know what went down.

“I am an old family friend of Ray J and have known him for 15 years. Ray J came in and hugged me and it became a misunderstanding,” she explained to S2S.

But how is Ray J coping with the loss of his good friend Whitney? “Ray J and I have spoken and I wanted to make sure he was OK,” Stacy said. “He’s a very strong man, a good guy and his relationship with God has gotten stronger since.”
