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.

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

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

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?
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

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
