In a preview of next week’s interview, Oprah Winfrey revealed Thursday morning on “Good Morning America” that it was Cissy Houston, the woman who brought daughter Whitney Houston into the music business who threatened to take her out of the industry at the height of her battle with drugs.

During a live interview from the Chicago set of her talk show, Winfrey told Diane Sawyer that it was Cissy Houston who turned up at the house her daughter shared with now ex-husband Bobby Brown with a court injunction and sheriffs in tow.

In a clip from the two-part interview that will air on “Oprah” next Monday and Tuesday, Houston recalled the incident saying, “My mother had the court paper in her hand and said ‘You do this my way or not at all. We’ll go on TV and you’ll retire.’ ”

Houston also recalled what her mother told a nervous looking Bobby Brown as the sheriffs gathered around them.

According to Whitney Houston her mother told Brown: “If you move Bobby, they’re going to take you down.”

god i hate oprah.

Oprah couldn't keep it to herself, could she?

She wants BIG ratings for her new season premiere.

Yeah I know. But still, with just Whitney's name, that was enough, we know she was gonna reveal some stuff.

I'm glad to hear that her momma saved her ass!

Momma Houston should have been on that ass a long time ago.

Let me had done some crack....my momma would have knocked me out like LL Cool J. "I got yo crack!" Crack upside the head!!

Yeah Cissy don't play.

Timmy84 said:

That's how an intervention has to be done...with a court order.

If only Mike's family had done it, who knows?

Jermaine claims he's still in denial about it.

Sounds like some good dirt. I don't want to miss this.

You never get too big for your mama. Mine would have done the same thing.

So true.

Why is Whitney looking like a Black Asian on the cover of Ebony?

Timmy84 said:

LOL. I saw a promo pic of her too and almost didn't recognize her.

It depends on how long she's been doing drugs and if you've been stressed for a lot of years, it'll show on your face as it's obviously shown on Whitney.

Timmy84 said:

No what I mean is she didn't look bad. She just didn't look like Whitney Houston.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

No that's what I meant.

Timmy84 said:

Ok. You started talking about her drug use and her being stressed. My point was that she looked way, way air-brushed to the point of not even looking like herself. It wasn't a bad pic, it just didn't look like Whitney Houston. And I've seen pictures of her since she cleaned herself up and she looked a little older, hell she is, but she still looked like herself.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

She looks like Dionne a bit now.

Timmy84 said:

Who, also, has done her share of drugs. Remember her arrest a few years ago?

Am I missing something?

Whats with all the backlash against Oprah on this one, ya'll act like Whitney was forced to sit on that coach and speak her mind

Get real!

Oprah wants the ratings, and Nippy wants the units to hit the roof. Fair & square.

daPrettyman said:

That's true.

vainandy said:

Same here. . .

Timmy84 said:

I didn't know her mom was a singer!

Yeah she's been singing professionally since she was 5 when she was in the gospel group, the Drinkard Singers, then she switched to R&B as an adult when she formed the Sweet Inspirations, themselves a spinoff of the Gospelaires. Since then, she's been recording R&B, soul, pop, disco and gospel.
