Well this is when Whitney's drug problem had gotten problematic anyways. Of course she agreed to do it. Bobby's show wouldn't have aired without her.

PricelessHo said:

Doing the show is one thing, what she did on the show is another. And that was the show that turned me off from her.

Ray, you're the best

damn, was the show that terrible?

coz honestly, i've only seen a few clips where they shop and then fight at some restaurant or something

-

Aisha hanem no worries luv.

PricelessHo said:

I only watched it that one time it aired but it was basically a hot mess. Some parts were sweet but other parts were questionable. Hearing her tell it was just sad. Seems like she really tried and hung in there way longer than she needed to.

Oh there was a part where Oprah was laughing and it wasn't really funny. I can't remember the story but Whitney wasn't exactly laughing for Oprah to be all guffawing like that.

You mean about Whitney talking about Bobby cutting her head off family pictures?

JackieBlue said:

i hope it's not the story that timmy mentioned

now speaking of that part of the interview, the HELL with that story of him drawing scary eyes/faces all over the house?

PricelessHo said:

Yeah and Whitney confirmed Tina Brown's story too.

People give her shit but Oprah knows what she's doing

It felt like a stone sitting on my chest the whole time I watched that interview heeeeeavy!

You could tell that Nippy was abit reserved and didn't wanna speak about the whole details, but that altercation in front of her daughter was its one thing to get ugly,,,,its another when your own child witness it.

I'm glad she's back in one piece,,,,because there was a time where a Nippy's death news were just around the corner, matter o' fact, there were rumors about her being dead.

Good to know that she's well. Lookin' forward to see part 2.

Hm.. that how I felt also. I can't recall the gentleman's name who had a show CNBC (of all stations) but he did a financial slash celebrity show for a minute: The year Ms. Houston's sister-in-law sold her story to The National Enquire. The host had on "The National Enquire" editor and some other main street journalist... they were like yeah, were are on death watch. "Don't be surprised if it's reported she's died - cause, drug overdose". I was like, WTF.

I'm glad for her and family she was able to pullback and get it together, I wish her well and continued sobriety. Thank God for mom's and Momma Houston.

I didn't know that,,,,,I know of the death rumor after the MJ tribute "skeleton-like" pic surfaced.

I mean after the bathroom pic, folks were thinking that but not outloud,,,or so I thought

Well, good thing is she's over it now.

I love Whitney Houston's sincerity. It didn't sound like her voice was gone when she sung for Oprah, so maybe she was hoarse when she sung on GMA....

I understand her mother staged her intervention. We all know that those don't work if the addict doesn't want to be sober of drugs as well, so good for Whitney. I hope she stays sober and take one day at a time.

Her album is pretty good, and I wish her the best!

Now THAT's what a momma is supposed to do!

'I'm here with the sherriffs; get 'cho shit, and let's go '



Sometimes you need big mama to come in and set everybody straight

I had goosebumps throughout the entire interview.

I loved how Oprah acted like she didn't know to roll up or smoke a blunt

Um, it was revealed not too long ago that Oprah used to be a crack addict. Funny how she didn't mention it.

bboy87 said:

I was thinking the same thing. Oprah knows about that high.

JackieBlue said:

I said to my mom "Didn't she spend time back in Baltimore back in the day? She knows what Whitney is talking about!"

bboy87 said:

I forgot about her being in Baltimore. She was probably a Barksdale customer.

when whitles .. whankley .. whats her name again ? does playboy ill give a sh*t about her oh ya .. music.. She didnt give a damn about things when the pipe was callin .. Oompa-Loompa, i mean oprah the ratings monger suckin up to the bologne.. pathetic the both of em .

I like that album too. It was very underrated and had a lot of decent R&B songs on it. However, it was considered a disappointment at the time because it only sold half as many copies as her first two. I think that outside of the title track and "All The Man That I Need", the album was too R&B for some people.

I also liked My Love Is Your Love. It was obvious by then that Whitney had lost a little bit of her range, but she still had some awesome tracks like "It's Not Right, But It's Okay", "Heartbreak Hotel", and "I Learned From The Best", and Wyclef Jean produced her title track.

StillDirrty said:

I don't get why it was necessary for Oprah to mention that.

JayJai said:

It seems to me people were commenting on how insincere Oprah seemed by acting like she didn't' know how to get high when a few years ago, she volunteered the information that she was addicted to crack.

The Media couldn't break her, Drugs couldn't break her and a fucked up relationship couldn't break her. Whitney is a Bad Ass! I love how she is always so candid when she speaks. After all that she has gone through she is still alive and looks great. I have nothing but the up most respect for this woman.

prodigalfan said:

Did I miss this? When the hell did Oprah have a bout w/ drugs???

prodigalfan said:

And u know what...if she had mentioned it...
ppl would've complained that Oprah was tryin to make the interview about her blah blah blah.
This was all about Ms Whitney Houston...
not what Oprah went through/if she went through an addiction with drugs.
If/when Oprah's being interviewed and asked about it, it's her choice to expound on it.

Bobby responds

Doesn't he look like the Grinch that Stole Kwanzaa?

CalhounSq said:

A few years ago it hit the people mag or something that Oprah admitted cocaine use in her past... just like she drop the bomb about teenage sex and stillborn baby. I didn't even get too interested in it because it seemed like all the celebrities were either confessing drug or alcohol abuse or child molestation or rape. It was almost like the "in" thing to do.

This ommission was not like Natalie Cole who told you heart wrenching stories of her abuse and damage to herself... it was almost like name dropping... "oh, you know, I did Cocaine when I was a teen".
