Whitney Houston‘s “home going” ceremony has turned into a money maker for her Estate — which very quietly struck a deal to sell the video of the funeral.
Here’s how it went down … Associated Press provided a live pool feed of the funeral to media outlets around the world (including TMZ) on Saturday — but everyone had to pull the footage 24 hours later. Why?
A rep for the family confirms the family has now “agreed to license footage to several media outlets.” The rep says the family is charging “customary fees” to … “help maximize the estate for the benefit of Bobbi Kristina.”
For the record … TMZ is not one of the chosen ones.
