Whitney Houston & X Factor’s Stacy Francis Brawl Over Ray J!

Yup! You read that right!

Multiple award-winning singing legend Whitney Nippy Houston got into a brawl with season 1 X Factor finalist Stacy Francis over Brandy’s little brother Ray J!

It all went down at KELLY Price’s Pre-Grammy Awards event Price & Friends Unplugged: For the Love of R&B at TRU Hollywood.

The two singers first met in 1992 at a Whitney Houston concert and were reintroduced in the VIP section at the event but, “It didn’t seem like Whitney remembered her, but she was cordial at first,” says a source on the scene.

But minutes later when Ray J, a pal of Stacy’s and Whitney’s boy toy, came on the scene, things got bloody real really fast.

“Whitney just got belligerent,” says an eyewitness. “Ray was trying to defend Stacy, telling Whitney, ‘Stacy’s family!’, but Whitney was feeling crowded out and hands were raised.”

The confrontation was diffused but, “You didn’t know which way it could go there for a minute.”

Whitney was later seen leaving the event with cuts and scratches on her arms and blood dripping from legs.

While she wouldn’t officially comment on the story besides saying she respected Whitney and her talent, Stacy went on Twitter (of course) and confirmed the story on Twitter.

Whitney’s new movie Sparkle with Jordan Sparks will drop this year.

Cissy, Dionne, Aretha, come get your kin.
