Ray J spoke publicly for the first time since her Whitney Houston‘s passing a few days ago, speaking to reporters assembled during a charity event.

Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister in-law & confidant, spoke of Whitney looking for love in the wrong places and Ray J was most likely the “younger man” she was referencing. Houston and her much young boo were rumored to have been dating up until the time of she was found dead in the Beverly Hill Hotel February 11th.

During the conference, Ray explained to reporters that he’s “still hurting” from the death of his “friend” and he’s been having a “tough time” since she died.

Ray J addressed the press during an event benefiting the Brotherhood Crusade and Mothers in Action Organizations, and he spoke of Houston’s passing, stating, “I really miss my friend, you know, I really do. I’m still hurting.”

Ray J even appeared to shed a few tears as he mentioned something about a picture of her on his phone that helps him get through the day.
