    Oprah Winfrey sat down with Cissy Houston for an emotional interview about her deceased daughter, Whitney Houston.

    cissy-houston-8-300x205Cissy recently released wrote a book entitled, Remembering Whitney, dedicated to her daughter’s memory because she says she wants people to know Whitney as she was.

    One shocking revelation during the show was Whitney’s brother, Michael Houston, who admitted publicly for the first time that he was the one who actually introduced his famous sister to freebasing cocaine.

    Welp… that finally let’s @kingbobbybrown off the hook. Whitney’s brother Michael introduced her to drugs. #nextchapter

    While Micheal’s “confession” finally lets Bobby off the hook, Cissy admits she’s still not a fan of her deceased daughter’s ex-husband.

    Watch video of Cissy Houston’s “Next Chapter” below…

    Who Was Whitney Houston?

    While growing up in New Jersey, Whitney Houston was close to both of her big brothers, Gary and Michael. Since his sister’s death, Michael, who many in the family called Whitney’s twin, hasn’t spoken publicly. Now, Michael reveals how he introduced Whitney to drugs in the ’80s, long before Whitney married Bobby Brown. Watch as he discusses the guilt he lives with every day.

    In 2009, Whitney Houston sat down with Oprah to discuss her battle with addiction, her troubled marriage to Bobby Brown and more. In what would be her last interview with Oprah, Whitney recounted the day her mother, Cissy Houston, staged an intervention and got her to go to rehab. Cissy describes that day to Oprah and reveals why it was difficult for her to watch that 2009 interview.

    Why Cissy Houston Staged an Intervention for Whitney Houston:

    When Whitney Houston was 16, she met Robyn, the woman who would become her best friend. From the start, Whitney’s mother, Cissy, says she was critical of their relationship. For years, rumors persisted that Robyn and Whitney were involved in a romantic relationship—something both women repeatedly denied. Now, Cissy addresses the speculation and reveals why she wouldn’t have condoned a lesbian relationship.

For years, rumors persisted that Robyn and Whitney were involved in a romantic relationship—something both women repeatedly denied. Now, Cissy addresses the speculation and reveals why she wouldn’t have condoned a lesbian relationship.

    Cissy Houston has a few words, and a few more, for Bobby Brown.

    remembering whitneyIn “Remembering Whitney,” the mother of the late Whitney Houston writes that from the start she had doubted whether Brown was right for her daughter. And she thinks that Whitney might not have ended up so “deep” into drugs had they not stayed together.

    “I do believe her life would have turned out differently,” Houston writes. “It would have been easier for her to get sober and stay sober. Instead she was with someone who, like her, wanted to party. To me, he never seemed to be a help to her in the way she needed.”

    “Remembering Whitney” was released Tuesday, two weeks short of the first anniversary of Houston’s death. She drowned in a hotel bathtub in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 48. Authorities said her death was complicated by cocaine use and heart disease, but many still question the facts surrounding the singer’s death.

    Houston said she has no contact with Brown and didn’t see any reason to, not even concerning her granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina.

    She reaffirmed her comments in the book that Whitney Houston would have been better off without him. “How would you like it if he had anything to do with your daughter?” she asked.

    Brown is portrayed as childish and impulsive, hot tempered and jealous of his wife’s success. Cissy Houston describes a 1997 incident when Whitney sustained a “deep cut” on her face while on a yacht with Brown in the Mediterranean.

    Whitney insisted it was an accident; Brown had slammed his hand on a table, breaking a plate. A piece of china flew up and hit Whitney, requiring surgery to cover any possible scar. The injury was minor, the effects possibly fateful.

    “She seemed sadder after that, like something had been taken away from her,” Houston writes.

    Brown and Whitney Houston divorced in 2007, after 15 years of marriage. When she learned that her daughter was leaving Brown, Cissy Houston was “extremely relieved” and “thanking God so much I’m sure nobody else could get a prayer in to Him.”

    [WATCH: Bobby on Whitney: "We Corrupted Each Other" (VIDEO)]

    Cissy Houston writes that sometimes she hears a doorbell ring and thinks it’s Whitney, or sees a vase in a different place and wonders if her daughter is around. Some nights, Cissy Houston wakes up crying, not sure at first where she is.

    “But then I get up out of bed, wipe my eyes, wash my face, and lie back down to my sleep. Because that is all I can do,” she writes. “I am so grateful to God for giving me the gift of 48 years with my daughter. And I accept that He knew when it was time to take her.”

    What do you think of Cissy and Michael’s “Whitney” revelations?

      I love Cissy and still play Whitney’s videos from time to time cause I will always miss her. I think Cissy shared the last feelings she cares to say about the life and loss of her daughter. As painful as it must be, only a mother whoes lost a child whether young,old,star or not understands what she is going through. I never knew she had another brother. Guessed all sentences with "We" as kids referred to Whit and Gary. Hope only the best for Cissy. She did her very best.

        From studying her death, it is quite obvious what her reason of dying was: homicide. Manner: drowning. You cannot accidentally drown in less than a foot of water. Someone has to push you head in the water. When there is water in the lungs, that is indication she was breathing at the time her head was put under water. The only question, however, is was she lethargic. The way her eyes were shut, probably so. This indicates she fell asleep under water – which explains why she did not fight for air. So i’m not understanding your drug comment.

      I never believed Bobby was the culprit in her introduction to drugs, people get caught up with the MIS representation of these artists.. Whitney was a Newark hood chick period point blank and Arista did wonders on her image for the public, behind closed doors was another matter all together..This may have come too late..people believe what they want to believe regadless of truth..but trust and believe Being Bobby Brown was the REAL Whitney the drugs only embellished who she really was

        Ummm no, I’m from the Newark the area, and Whitney was not a "Newark hood chick". Whitney was born in Newark in 1963, and after the riots in 1967, they moved to East Orange. Whitney went to private schools all her life and graduated from an all girls private high school, she was quite sheltered actually. The middle brother, who was the wild child, was riding on Whitney’s success and coat tail, introduced her to the drugs, alot of folks from Jersey been knew this and i’m glad it’s coming out. Also, I do not believe that Robyn and Whitney were lovers, BUT I do feel that Cissy didn’t like the relationship because it could have had a bad affect on Whitney’s career, because Robyn is a lesbian.

          Thank you, her own Mother said that Whitney was not from no hood. She said that during her morning interview with Al Roker. Whitney only started claiming hoodlife when black folks started ridiculing her for being "whitewashed". Della Reese told Larry Elder a black conservative radio personality that some in the Houston family felt she married Bobby, because of people perceiving her as not being black enough.

      I believe Whitney had some pretty high standards she had to live up to, from her church upbringing, to her mother’s standards to what was expected of her from the industry. Had she just been allowed to live without hiding or putting up a facade and the continuous pressures and been allowed to live and love as she wished and sing, she may not have turned to drugs to dull the pain. She may have used anyway and been able to get past it had she been accepted for who she really was…just maybe she may still be here. Not blaming her mother but I would love and accept my kids whomever they chose to love. I stayed on my son about drugs and now he’s in the military living his life…clean. I even drug tested him occasionally. Yes as mothers we do the best we can and the best we know how and sometimes and second guess and wander if it was enough, or too much….RIP Nippy and Ms Cissy, I hope she finds peace…

        Johnny Gill has said this a few times, Whitney has access to better dope. She was the one who wanted the marriage Bobby Brown was just a kid. Johnny Gill said many times Whitney was different behind closed door and Wendy Williams one of the few to expose that side. I dont see how Bobby Brown could be the blame for her death.

      I never believed those lies told on Bobby. He could have blasted everyone a long time a go but he didnt and was the fall guy for many years. Whitney came into the industry with a drug history. She was a multi platinum artist with money and fame and the industry crowd associated with this life style usually parties hard and does more drugs than you can imagine. We see them poised polished and dressed the part but thats good marketing. Most times regardless of their race these artist are dressed up gangsters.We label them wholesome and squeeky clean based on what we see. Imaging and stylist do wonders.

        Oh lord..more lies…Whitney did not "come into the game with a drug history". Whitney first recorded with Chaka Khan at 15 in 1978 singing in the background for "I’m Every Woman" and was not using drugs then. Whitney started dibbling and dabbling AFTER a few years of being a sucessful artist in the late 80s. People need to get their facts straight.

      Cissy has GOT to stop blaming Bobby for Whitney’s indiscretions. Yes, Bobby had his ways but Whitney did to and she was NOT a saint. They BOTH had an addiction problem. It would’ve been the same thing if Whitney had not married Bobby and had ended up with another man who was an addict. Their addiction is to blame for the way their lives turned out. It is unfortunate how Whitney’s life ended but the whole blaming Bobby thing has gotten really old now. Whitney had her own path in life to walk, and she chose her path. Bobby didn’t choose it for her. Everything in life happens for a reason, even the bad stuff. We may not understand it but it all has a purpose. None of us are perfect and a person shouldn’t be scrutinized for their mistakes. We don’t have to answer for the next persons indiscretions, we only have to answer for our own so we need to stop judging and pushing blame. Just accept responsibility for our own actions and let the other person deal with their own demons in their own time. And can Whitney PLEASE rest in PEACE?? No more books about her life, no more interviews about what people perceived she was going through. Let’s be thankful for the GREAT and AWESOME music she provided us with and allow her to rest in peace. Leave Whitney the heck ALONE.

        Now we are looking at Christina and watching the same thing happen to her. They want to blame Nick. But this girl grew up with drug addicts. Her coping mechanism to stay high.

          You could see on Being Bobby Brown that they were gone both of them I believe that’s when she took stock of it and bounced. He did manage to stay sober until the deaths of the 3 people that were closest to him. Mom and Dad in 2011 and Nippy in 2012. Whitney sang at one and came to the other. Despite their history and breakup she would’ve been mortified that those children didn’t attend her home going and that he was treated so shabbily.

      Why does Cissy have so much hate in her heart for Bobby? The truth has finally come out after decades of blaming him for getting her hooked on drugs. Whitney was hooked on drugs long before she met Bobby. Randal Cunningham ended their relationship because of her drug use. I don’t buy Cissy’s story about the incident on the yacht as her reason for not liking Bobby. In her mind she felt Bobby was beneath them. Not a Christian thing to say, so she uses excuses to justify her hate for him. The whole family is guilty for her drug use. Her brother, her SIL, her mother. They all do. We all have things we have to answer to and they will answer for all they did, didn’t do, lies, blaming of others and cover ups for the all mighty dollar. They didn’t care what Whitney did as long as the money was coming in.

        She has rightful disdain for him because he abused Whitney (by Whit’s own admission in interview) verbally and physically. He spent most of their marriage behind bars when he wasn’t. He hung his kidz and child support around Whit’s neck and tarnished her image when she was most vulnerable by persuading her to appear in "Being Bobby Brown".

Bobby could have outed them a long time ago and made them look bad in the eyes of everyone of them. He knew the truth. And even after they mistreated him and his children t Whitney’s going home celebration, he still said nothing. Bobby is a good man, because a shady mf would have out ll their business out there.

        Yeah he could have BUT would have ANYONE believed him. We’re talking about Whitney and at that time she was at the height of her career.

        I hate to say it be if anything Whitney kept Bobby for getting clean. You always heard about him going into rehab but not her.

        Now we are looking at Christina and watching the same thing happen to her. They want to blame Nick.

        I believe her brother might have spoke within the family….Nope take that back I’m sure the family knew before Bobby that Whitney and her brother were getting high. Bobby was the fall guy! Shame on them!!!!! Leave that man alone.

      The drug abuse is not the reason Cissy doesn’t like Bobby. the way he treated Whitney is the reason why she doesn’t like him. If you had a daughter who had to go through what Whitney told Oprah, and what Whitney possibly told her mother or her brother Michael, or what they witnessed on their own, or what Whitney’s friend told them, than understand what Cissy is coming from. Whitney didn’t give us everything about what happened. But let’s keep it real, Cissy said she didn’t like him, didn’t approve of the relationship. so there it is. you have to remember, whitney came from a different world than Bobby. She was from an upper class, muscial royality, world traveled. she was groomed to marry a different type of man. Cissy made it perfectly clear whitney rebelled by marrying him. That’s like when Janet married Bobby Debarge her family hated him.

        Ok and MOST Celebrity marriages fail! That’s the problem they get married for the WRONG reason because of what PEOPLE think or WHOM people feel is RIGHT for that person. I believe Whitney and Bobby truly loved one another.

        Cissy didn’t like Bobby from the very beginning. In her mind, he and his family were beneath the Houston family. Lets just say they reason she hates him is because of how he treated her, why mistreat/ignore his other children at Whitney’s going home celebration? They had nothing to do with what went on between those two. Who really knows what went on behind closed doors? The only people who REALLY truly know are Whitney and Bobby. I wonder if this confession by her uncle will change how BK feels about her father?

          Bobbi Kristina was Whitney’s daugther , she knows more than anyone in the public knows, or even what Cissy may know. People want to act like oh, Bobby didn’t introduce her to drugs, or made her do drugs, like somehow that suddenly takes away from what Bobbi Kris witness the reality of her mom’s life. Ok, so the affairs that whitney talked about didn’t happened because Bobby didn’t introduce Whitney to drugs. When Whitney talked about Bobby spitting on her ,that didn’t happened because he didn’t introduce her to drugs. The verbal and mental abuse didn’t happened because he didn’t introduce her to drugs? Speaking from my experience with my parents, Bobbi Kristina is hurt because of what she witnessed, that is what she’s upset about. People blamed Bobby for the drugs, but they won’t stop blaming him for what Whitney admitted in the interview, Hollywood won’t suddenly think of Bobby as a good guy, cuz guess what, they witnessed/heard, things happened between Bobby and Whitneygoes beyond the drugs.And beyond what the public is privy to. Michael owes Bobby an apology for the blame placed on him, but since Whitney told that she was abused mentall,emotionally, verbally, and physically by Bobby that ain’t going to happened. Bobby forgave himself, Bobbi Kristina said she has no problem with her father, than so what about anybody else. But, people need to stop saying it’s vindication for Bobby, when drugs was not the reason Bobby and Whitney had a terrible marriage.

      I want to see Cissy , Dionne on a talk show together, these two are the realist people in Hollywood. I loved it when Cissy had Oprah speechless answering certain answers. She was point blank, moving on. After the interview Cissy should have taken off her mic and dropped it on the floor. I love Cissy interviews. that elder has spunk. And Dionne is straight to the point. They keep it all the way real. in the words of Nene , "I live". lol

      That Arista image machine was fierce. Whitney said herself she started in the hood that don’t mean she lived there but that’s where it started. My heart goes out to Cissy but pointing the fingers won’t bring her back and ultimately the choices we make are our own. It’s still hard to believe that she’s gone but I choose to remember the good deeds and musical legacy.

      RIH to Ms. Whitney but people need to start taking responsibility for their own actions, whether her brother or Bobby Brown introduced her to some weed and cocaine the shit at the end of the day was still her choice. And lets be real sheltered kids are never really able to express themselves and usually make mistakes at a faster rate than other kids on the other side of the spectrum. Shelter your kids to a certain level but going overboard will put them in harms way when it comes to them learning to make wise decisions

      At this particular point, the hate against Bobby runs deeps. The world has blamed him for years, his daughter blames him for it, etc. Someone could come out and say they killed her, people will still blame him. Even after the brother admitted he was the one, her mother still took the opportunity to throw shade at Bobby when in reality she introduced him to the hard stuff. He was a pill popper and weed head back in the day. I hope people can start to forgive him now. Not saying he was clean because he was a enabler but it was never all his fault.

        Bobby is blamed because as a man, father and husband, he did absolutely NOTHING to save his family from that horror house they all lived in. And now his daughter has become the recipient of his mistakes. She blames him too and who would know better than her? People sit around their kidz doing all manner of crazy shit thinking "Oh,they’re just kidz, they aint’ gon’ remember this sh*t".The minute a teenager rebels they bring up sh*t you did when they were three years old. That’s why Bobby’s more afraid if anything of Chrissy.

      The comments on this post are quite interesting. It just amazes me that the majority of you are suddenly Team Bobby now that Cissy dun spilled the beans. I will never speak ill of the dead but facts are facts-Whitney was older and more experienced in this industry than Bobby, please stop acting like Bobby ran the show. She sat right on Oprah’s couch and told how she pursued him-she knew exactly what she was doing. And the claims that he used her money-were y’all asleep in the 80s and 90s?Bobby Brown was the biggest thing next to MJ back then, doubt it very seriously that he was broke. Not to say his money may have stayed long forever, but this dude sold out arenas and has Grammys. I fault Cissy for this-something is to be said at the fact that ALL your children have had drug problems. She can sit on as many couches as she wants to, and act like she’s setting the record str8 hundred times over-She still sounds like a mother who was delusional when it came to her child’s issues and needed a scrapegoat=Bobby. Instead of doing interviews, she should be sumwhere trying to fix the relationship between her and Bobbi Kris.

      @Mary, My words exactly you hit it dead on ! Cissy is a bitter controlling lady . That’s why she is writing that book she hurting for more money. Whitney wasn’t breaking her off like she wanted her to.No she didn’t approve of them being married because that cut off her of getting funds on the daily. She’s greedy and was jealous of her daughters success and wanted more control of Whitney’s money. If you think back she tried to get control a few years back and lost. SHE CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN BUT STILL HOLDS ANGER TOWARDS BOBBY BROWN ! LET IT GO GREEDY CISSY. I hope u get enough to make it for a few more years because it seems like u fishing for anyone who wants a story. Go ahead and tell everybody how Whitney really handled you. Bobbi Kris acts that way because that’s what she seen and that’s all she knows, That girl knows her mom loved her mother Cissy but can’t fooled with her for real and she probaly told Bobbi keep your distance. Whitney left her nothing (cisssy) that’s why she was trying to fight that child over her mother’s money. SHAME ON YOU GREEDY CISSY !

She’ll never be able to do anything with Bobbi Kris love from a distance but they my opinion will never have a relationship.

      With the affect of Internet advancement, the companies have got their websites.
      If these processes are environmentally-friendly and the products are biodegradable, then the term "green" or "eco-friendly" can use
      and it is used. This allows an excellent chance to near a company deal with
      their prospect for they can market their solutions directly in both a really visible and audible
      method.
