As we mentioned last December, Whitney Houston was sued by her stepmom, Barbara Houston.

Why? For what?????

It all goes back to 2003, when Whit's father passed away and Barbara claimed Whitney "improperly kept the proceeds from John Houston's $1 million insurance policy" after his death.

According to the lawsuit, Whitney was supposed to use $723,000 of the money to pay off the remaining mortgage on her father's Fort Lee, NJ, condominium. It was supposedly her dad's wish to do so.

But, now months later Whitney is countersuing her stepmother for $1.6 million!

According to Houston, step-mommy dearest owes HER money for failing to make the payments on the condo, which Babs has been living in for over two decades.

Whitney claims she provided her dad with the mortgage loan to buy the condo and she was still owed most of the money when he died.

So the question is, who was really supposed to receive the $1 million insurance inheritance, and what was the money to be used for?

This is why wills are so important. Helps avoid some of the family dramz!

If there was no will and Whitney was named the beneficiary on the life insurance policy...step-mommy dearest might be shit out of luck.

Didn't her father sue her for millions before he died?

Nah her father's "manager" did. John Houston was dying of cancer at the time of the suit so Whitney did never believe her father wanted to sue her, she feels to this day that that manager was responsible for getting her father to agree to sue Whitney.

Come on Miss Babs, don't take that shit off little miss goodie good. You know that heffer smoked that damn money up. Hell, for a while there, it was like a video tape of "Goodie Goods Gone Wild".

Even if she didn't and is totally in the right, I'm still rooting for Babs.
