Cissy Houston: Cashing In on Daughter's Death?

by at .

Cissy Houston has remained mostly quiet since the February death of her daughter, but it was announced earlier this month that the mother of Whitney Houston will be releasing a memoir about her child's life in early 2013.

And this book deal with HarperCollins is now raising a number of questions, most notably: is Cissy simply looking to cash in? To exploit the nationwide grief over Whitney's passing?

After all, Houston left a majority of her fortune to 18-year old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

"She will try to come out looking like the world's greatest mom, when in actuality, she wasn't," a Whitney family insider tells TMZ.

What do you think? Is Cissy Houston simply seeking to profit from her daughter's death?

    Why would Cissy wanna cash in on her daughter when Cissy is a famous singer in her own right?! Leave that woman alone and let her grieve!
