In Case You Missed It ~ Whitney Houston on Oprah (Part 1) FULL
In case you missed it, here are a few clips of Whitney Houston’s Oprah interview, which aired today (September 14th). Whitney appeared in a secluded theatre and quietly confided in Oprah about her former drug use and her tumultuous relationship with singer Bobby Brown, ex-husband and father to Whitney’s only child, Bobbi Kristina.
Oprah’s sincerely allows Whitney to freely discuss her demons. She talks about her first meeting Bobby and expresses a ton of emotion during the discussion. She recalls how passionate their relationship was and how addicted she was to him, referring to Bobby as her “drug”. She spoke about the “allure, the passion, the crazy love” during her early days with Brown and you could almost feel the intensity of her memories. Acknowledging that Bobby initially displayed a “sweet, gentle tenderness,” she says that as her stardom exploded (sometime around the time of The Bodyguard), Brown’s insecurity and jealousy increased to hostility.
“He spit on me,” she said with quiet vehemence, as though reliving the degrading moment.
As for the well-known drug use, Houston tried to explain the combination of drugs she was taking during her worst times, and Oprah had her break it down. “Follow me here, Oprah,” said Houston. She explained she was “lacing marijuana… with rock cocaine.” “I wasn’t getting high by myself,” she said. “We were partners.”
All I know is… Whitney was “Whitney Houston” well before she and Bobby got together. She was always the bigger star so that part of her argument is a tad bit iffy. Everyone’s always blaming Bobby for Whitney’s downfall…and now she’s on Oprah pretty much blaming him too. I think she needs to own up for her own bad choices and move forward.

September 15, 2009 @ 11:49 amI just thought about something. My friend’s ex-husband was good friends with Whitney’s brother. And he, her brother and Whitney were ALLEGEDLY doing drugs way before Bobby entered the picture.
I told my husband that I do not agree with her blaming Bobby for her fall from grace. It takes two to make a thing go wrong. We cannot blame others for our failures. Many people cannot handle “success” or notoriety. Perhaps she was one of them.
I am still on Team Bobby.

September 15, 2009 @ 8:58 pmI too have family members who hung tight with Whitney’s brothers before she made it big, and the drug allegations are true, though inconsequential. Whitney humbly admitted that she dabbled in drugs lightly BEFORE Bodyguard, but after Bodyguard, she pursued heavier use of drugs in the company of Bobby Brown. I too believe in owning one’s problems, but in this situation, it’s not unreasonable to believe that Brown may have been an accelerant in Houston’s WILLFUL downfall. Yes, she was the bigger star at the time, but Bobby Brown experienced a different type of stardom and was held to a dimmer “moral” flame than Whitney. His image didn’t suffer from his antics because his antics were the expectation. His heavy drug use can EASILY be documented before he even met Whitney. Her claims are not so far out of this world that we can’t believe that Brown was in large part responsible for her spiral into her personal purgatory. She admitted she was weak. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR SOME GOOD (or even bad) D*CK IN YOUR PAST? I’m just saying.

September 16, 2009 @ 7:46 amthanks for posting this! interestingly, i don’t see whitney blaming bobby for anything in this…she seems to be taking responsibility for the stupid decisions she made in the name of ‘love’ or even just to stay together to make a statement. i don’t know…nothing she said about him was particularly vilifying. i appreciate her admitting she was behind her own fall by allowing him to be her drug of choice.
