Released on March 6, 2013, The Whitney Houston FBI File contains dozens of letters from a crazed fan who just wanted to be noticed by the singer, details of an investigation into an extortion attempt at the height of the Houston’s career and threats from a Dutch fan claiming to be the “President of Europe.” It is a terrifying and revealing look into the dizzying—and dangerous—life of a superstar.
