Cissy

Although it's a show that has never been afraid to address scandalous topics, took a bold stance in “The Cissy” by showing Cartman trying to frame himself as a victim of discrimination.

But, speaking out once more about his past, the former professional boxer, 59, said his family's fearsome fighting prowess stemmed from his tough-as-nails mother, Cissy, a 'natural southpaw'.

The daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston and cousin of Dionne Warwick, she grew up in the business.

Aiding him in the task is a cadre of her closest family members, friends and trusted allies, including her mother, Cissy Houston, her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, as well as her brothers and former employees Gary Garland and Michael Houston.

Cissy amicably divorced her husband, Julian, in 1920, but Chandler's mother disapproved of the relationship and refused to sanction the marriage.

For the next four years Chandler supported both his mother and Cissy.

In 2010, Chandler historian Loren Latker, with the assistance of attorney Aissa Wayne (daughter of John Wayne ), brought a petition to disinter Cissy's remains and reinter them with Chandler in Mount Hope.

Later life and death Cissy Chandler died in 1954, after a long illness.
