Interesting seeing that she just appeared with Prince in LA last week!
Good luck to her....
TMZ is reporting that Prince has banned her from the rest of his shows here in LA. think its true because now she is suddenly in rehab. Although think its a requirement to be in the "Waiting To exhale" sequel... I hate when people blame Bobby for her drug use. When it is well known behind the scenes that Whitney was no saint.
By the way good publicity for Prince mega hit tour dates here in LA.....

Wasn't Whitney raised in a middle class neighborhood in West Orange, NJ ? She was born in the projects but not raised in the projects. Family moved after the Newark riots. Plus she spent a lot of time in the church so as to stay out of trouble.
Yeah but Whitney still visited relatives in Newark so she wasn't Miss Goody Two Shoes. Plus she used to physically fight with both of her brothers, Gary and Michael, and often hung around them when she wasn't at school. They would all visit relatives in Newark. I imagine she tried drugs and alcohol in her late teens though, that would be around the time she started modeling and singing background with her mother. Plus I think it was EAST Orange, not West Orange...

Oh yes she was a goodie two shoes. The only reason she fought with them was because they made fun of her for being a goodie two shoes. See, when Shitney was growing up during the 1970s, it was the roller disco era and like most other kids their age, her brothers were heavily into it. Shitney was heavy into skating also but it sure as hell wasn't to disco like the other kids her age and her brothers made fun of her because of what her favorite skating anthem was and she couldn't stand them making fun of her so she fought them.
This isn't just a youtube video of some audio, click the video and see some actual private home video footage taken of Shitney skating to her favorite skating anthem at the time....
She was the most precious little princess. Absolutely presssssious.

Yeah, I wish Ms. Houston the best too. From what I've seen from afar staying sober isn't an easy thing to do at all. I hope this time around she understands the Cognac, has to go too.

I'm sure many people never thought Whitney was some holy Mary type but most probably didn't think she was some gutterbut hoodrat either. To this day, I believe Bobby took a decent woman and brought out the worst in her. Crack and freebasing were not in her future else she would have gone that route wayyyy before Bobby came along as she achieved major success prior to becoming involved with him. Ole dude was smoking and drinking it up before and after Whitney and the only thing that stopped him was going to jail and public embarassment plus the loss of his money in the divorce.
Bobby may not have corrupted Whitney but he definitely encouraged her to be less than her best.
Oh please! Having a record exec like Clive Davis to control your whole music career AND custom made chocolate cover valley girl persona is equally enough to inspired Whitney to secretly take some party drugs under her own free well.
(Read between the lines^ and you know what I'm saying!)
You can NOT blame Bobby Brown on exactly everything. The only party drug Bobby ever mess with was . All of that expensive cocaine supplies were on Whitney, NOT Bobby.
(1) There's no such thing as an EX-addict. Once an addict, always an addict.
Treu, it's a language thing....i tried to say that the article says nothing about current drug use. I wouldn't be suprised if she did....oh well, what do i know....
All the jokes aside.....at the end there's nothing funny about her story and i hope she will win the battle.
I wish peeps would leave her alone. She is still alive and trying to live her life. She is not hurting anybody.
Right....
I mean I think we all can honestly say that we hate what has happened to Whitney but this is old news it is not changing anything. Also, it does not make her a bad human being or TAKES away from what she has accomplished. Regardless her voice is going to go down as one of the best because it was.. I think people should leave her alone as well.. She just trying to get her life together.. just like people do every day cut her break...

Nobody is blaming Bobby on exactly everything, at least I'm not. I'm saying he was responsible for a lot of her downfall. Had she not got involved with him, she would be a functioning drug using mega star like so many others. You think Clive would have let her sink that low? Nah....dude wouldn't let his cash cow be led to slaughter...per se.
Oh and BOOOO....Bobby was using coke before Whitney. His bio where he accuses her of introducing him to drugs is utter bullshit.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT! RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer.
^ Now see this is where I have to RESPECTFULLY disagree. There was always rumors that Whitney was like the way she was when she was splitting time between East Orange and Newark with relatives. Whitney knows about the streets. I don't think she adapted this attitude when she met and fell for Bobby. I honestly don't. Plus she was doing drugs and alcohol as recreationally as Mary J. Blige did when she grew up in Yonkers.

Why is entering rehab so frowned upon these days? Isn't this supposed to be commended and seen as a step in the right direction? I wish Whitney (AND Bobby) the best.

I take Bobby's word over Whitney's.
I believe the later interviews which state that they were BOTH doing drugs before they met each other. At least that's what Bobby states and other folks who knew them in the Behind The Music documentary. All this finger pointing is sheer bullshit. Anyone who has had a family member addicted to drugs knows that NO ONE is responsible for an addict's sobriety--except for the addict. Family members can be the over-used words--"enablers" or "co-dependents"--but it is true that no one can force someone to take drugs. It is an individual decision. An addict has to realize that he/she has no CONTROL over their drug addiction and must decide to take responsibility for it and seek the life-time support they need to manage their addiction. At this point, it seems like Bobby is doing much more to work on his sobriety than Whitney. I don't buy the bullshit that either one "introduced" and was "responsible" for getting each other addicted. It was an individual choice supported by the "co-dependent" drug addict. My

That's what I really meant actually. Not necessarily what he wrote in his book. Bobby did admit he was getting into the drug scene before meeting Whitney.

Relapses and usually some artists who get into it think a stint in rehab can straighten them out. I wish her well (as well as Bobby and Krissy).

Bottom line! They enabled each other. I'm just of the opinion that Bobby's habits took a turn for the worse and Whitney soon followed- not the other way around. Let's not forget that Whitney did say Bobby spat on her (he didn't deny it) and was what we call "emotionally abusive" (he didn't deny that either) and lets also not forget that Bobby denied his daughter Bobbi Kristina used drugs even though there was photographic and video evidence to the contrary.
In his attempt to work on his sobriety, he has become a tad delusional about his drug partnership with his ex-wife and about current drug abuse issues his daughter may be dealing with.
At the end of the day....they're both sad individuals who let drugs nearly destroy their talents and their physical/mental well being.

^ It got worse at the same time. Whitney was just able to keep it at home while she remained professional for the most part. Bobby, however, proved to be more reckless.

I checked out the Behind The Music documentary again last night as well as some other interviews. Bobby admitted that there was a five year period that he can't even remember. Sad. But the fact is--as someone who has had the sad experience of dealing with family members who became addicted--that people do and say things that are the opposite of their true nature when on drugs. If Bobby has been sober for the past six years as he claims, he may be in denial about his daughter's addiction. No one wants to believe that their child is an addict--especially if it is a parent that has had a drug problem and must deal with the guilt of modeling that behavior for their child. In saying this, I wish Bobby, Whitney, and Bobbi the best in dealing with this horrible problem that chews families up and spits them out. Fact.

Yeah I think he was in denial about his daughter doing that stuff... no parent don't wanna imagine a kid going through the same thing they were going on. Can you imagine Marvin Gaye being alive and sober just to hear his daughter and eldest son were getting high?
^ Seeing as how his kids struggled with drugs, I'm a wee bit glad he is not alive to witness it. The stress and heartbreak alone may have killed him or at least depressed him greatly. I think of poor Kirk Douglass and what he went through with his sons and their addiction. I'm amazed he's still alive after all he's been through.

Word. Same with Iggy Pop and his son. Thankfully his son's sober but that was a hard pill to swallow when he discovered his son was getting high on the same thing he used to get high off (heroin). That shook him up.

i really think it wasnt bobby's fault

but little do they know she was lowkey hoodrat from Newark before bobby even came into the seen
in there reality show bobby was better parent and kristina Bobby listened to bobby more than whitney.. it kinda seemed like she resented Whitney for some reason
