This makes me sad🥹
So NOW they will post it since her big ass mouth is talking. There should have been a NDA in place.
If she really cared about Whitney, she wouldn't even be disclosing this now either.
She should've kept this to herself or at least omitted her name
and honestly I wonder how she was sure it was drugs that made her fall
Could've kept this to herself tbh.

Her bringing this up 14 years after her death is gross
This dyke ass bitch
Can't stand her.
OK so this was during the I look to you era? I thought I remembered her performances and interview being at the same time
Sounds crazy
Now imma go back and watch the show. Damn whit
so instead of releasing the pics she just painted one instead
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Oprah is a kii
She seem like she was alright here. Didn't display any signs.
Hey. Not sure if yall know this, but Whit was a drug addict. This wasn't a personal moment. There was a whole damn audience.

Everyone knows that Whit was a drug addict and was one even in the 80s. Her own brother was the one who got her on drugs but the media, her label, and her own mother made Bobby the scapegoat. Simple as that. That's the truth of it all. Don't get me wrong, Whit was talented as fuck but she was also an addict.

Why are yall stating that as if we are not aware :unsure:
It's not about whether Whitney had a drug habit. What does Oprah gain from mentioning this now after she's dead and gone?

Who fucking cares about Oprah mentioning it? It's not that deep. Whit was an addict and she made those choices.
ops' dropped a lil tea. so what
y'all so pick n choosy
claiming someone was so high off coke that they fell off a stage isn't just a lil gossip
sgnjsjnjvsnjvsjnvsnjvsjnsvjjnvjnsvsvjnsvjsv
maybe saying "Whitney farted during our interview" would be a lil mess
unflattering yes, but a lil mess.
but i see why Whitney's estate has responded to this immediately
brand protection doesn't stop because she's physically gone. if Oprah's intention was to protect Whitney's image by not releasing that info, maybe she should have stuck to the plan
this isn't some YouTube blogger givin "tea" to 100K viewers at most. this is Oprah Winfrey putting out this information
it's gonna hit different because people hold Oprah to a standard that Oprah has kinda set for herself.
as for the "we all know she did drugs!" argument
that's true
but to Oprah's credit, at that time....she didnt say "they know she a drug addict anyway lolz release the pics! :cheerup: "
dnkjngjndjndjndjgnjdgjndgjdjd
she understood there is such a thing adding fuel to the fire , ESPECIALLY when you're on her level
saying "we all know she was a crackhead!" is such a simple way to frame this conversation IMO.
so good on her for having the foresight in that moment. she chose to share it now but personally i just think maybe it coulda stayed in her back pocket.
i dont think she's the devil himself for this but she shoulda stuck to her own plan IMO. even in Whitney's physical absence
She's a lying whore
Oprah has never been a genuine person, she's as fake as they come....what's the point of telling the world this info, she should've taken it to the grave. She's jealous of Whitney and wants to bring her down.....I have ZERO respect for Oprah
For Whit to be so disrespectful of Oprah showing up to her show like that, Oprah handled herself well. I woulda aired her shit out the next day
I stand with Oprah :letsmessfag: I HOPE she post the receipts to shut the naysayers up :acquit:
These people know wtf they're doing. Oprah fckn Winfrey knows what saying something like this would mean and do. She was lookin for some attention and she got it. How u protecting a woman's image by telling an audience to not release pictures and then coming behind them and telling this story unprompted? This was COMPLETELY distasteful. It reminds me of when patti came to the front and confirmed Luther was gay. I felt a lil LESS annoyed by that because Luther was in a see thru closet and we all knew but I understood why people were still bothered by it. This woman died because of drugs. Why tf would u come out here and add some more shit to the pot?
With that being said, I wonder if anyone from the audience still has the mess 👀

Tbf Andy lead Patti into that. I don't think Patti went WWHL intending to out Luther :kii:
Pat Houston :uhh: made the statement that Whitney's fall actually happened at soundcheck or something so it wasn't actually in front of the live audience
Which makes more sense why no one leaked any video. Oprah likely wasn't begging them not to do it, she was threatening to fire them or sue

And that is true. Patti didn't just randomly say Oh luther was gay! I need to see this whole Lil thing because it looks like she just wanted any ol reason to say some controversial shit. Oprah trying to bring attention to them super soul Sundays or sumn

cool. Now what was the point of telling this audience that whitney was so high and relapsing that she came to the show falling off stage and shit? When someone is dead, especially considering how she died, we're not arbitrarily saying shit to tarnish their legacies. Whitney is pretty highly regarded. And yes, we already know she was on drugs but why was this necessary to reveal. ESPECIALLY in the same fckn breath that u said u went to great lengths to have it covered up :omf:

not surprised her estate mentioned professionalism
i was def thinking a story like that just doesn't speak to "Whitney had drug issues"
it actually speaks to how seriously she took her career and major opportunities that were given to her.
this is why it matters that Oprah is directly sharing this "tea".
trust we wouldn't have been getting a statement from the estate if Tasha K dropped some mess
how is this story tarnishing whit's legacy when it's a well and fully known fact that she was on that stuff? we (as in the community) literally replay, cackle at, and imitate her high shenanigans all the time. this story ain't made anyone see whit in any different light than what they already did based on blatantly known info. those that love her will continue to, those that's don't will continue to. this faux outrage is a kii.
it's kinda the equivalent of saying "we already know Michael Jackson was accused of molesting kids and that he admitted to sleeping in bed with boys so ain't nuttin wrong with Netflix releasing that doc around the same time his bio hit the movie theaters, long as they're telling the truth and not making anything up."
technically, yes it's not "wrong". but that's a very narrow POV in this type of conversation
there is such a thing as re-igniting a tea that may have been dormant for some time. and it's not in the artist's best interest, whether they are dead or alive. brand protection for stars as big as Whitney and Michael is an ongoing thing.
Whitney's estate made the right move by coming out to deny Oprah's claims if the goal is to keep these types of conversations to a minimum and keep the focus on the positive.
this is what would be in the best interest of Whitney's estate/brand.
Clive Davis recently passed and instead of everyone talking about Whitney's musical legacy and all the great work she did with him, and iconic songs.....what's trending now is her falling on stage cuz she was coked up on the Oprah show
that in itself should answer questions anyone has about why this is not good for her brand and why her estate is running to the scene with fire extinguishers.
What Oprah did was wrong but Whitney has had way more embarrassing moments than just falling off the stage.....
