Amid the contentious political climate, Crawford has become a popular topic of discussion for several online bloggers. It has been alleged that she was engaged in an affair with Holness and became pregnant.
It was further alleged that Crawford was forced to terminate the pregnancy after Juliet Holness became aware of the affair. Speaking with Cliff Hughes on Nationwide 90fm, Crawford expressed that she does not wish to delve too deeply into the “wild” accusations against her right now but will do so at the right time.

“Instead of emulate then what is good, you have people they start off with a rumour. Oh, how is Rhoda able to do so much work? She must be getting more money. And then now they keep adding to it. Oh, she must be involved with the prime minister; that’s why shi getting more money. These things are heartbreaking,” Crawford stated.
Crawford went on to address the pregnancy rumours and called the allegations sickening and hurtful. She added that the rumours are being spread without any consideration for the families that are involved.
