Whitney Opens Up On Darkest Days

The long awaited interview between Whitney Houston and Oprah Winfrey is almost upon us. It's sure to be an emotional roller coaster as the tell all interview will know no boundaries.

One of the most shocking revelations we learned from the interview is not just Whitney's admittance that she was addicted to crack while married to Bobby Brown, but that she spent seven months in her pajamas because of it!

Oprah promises that the interview will leave you gasping as Whitney opens and divulges into her hardships with drugs and with Bobby, though she never blames him for the drug use.

Oprah explains:

"She talks about when it started to go wrong after The Bodyguard - that was a long time ago… The thing most shocking to me is that Whitney tried to make herself smaller to fit in a marriage so the man could be bigger. How many women have done that? I deeply felt for her. She was trying to be the good wife. She really, truly loved him."

Wow. It's sure to be heart-wrenching.

Watch the clip above from the interview in which Houston talks about her mother trying to save Whitney from herself.

      google it.



    15. 15

      Thank God,Whitney's back! I always loved her music and I'm so happy she got away from BOBBBBBBY! I wish her all the best. I wish Michael's family would have done the same,for him.

      Yeah!! sure that low life got her ,so he can score himself from her crack,and cracking ways! She is her own fucker, at least she said I tried the crack and I was hook right away! Nice going Houston you have a problem!!!A crack head will be a crack head forever!!By the way never believed a crack head,they are the best faking in tears, and everything!!!

      I can't wait. I've known people very close to me who have gone through addiction. People who make fun of it just don't understand and should be ashamed. Those who make it out and to the other side are heroes in my book.

      Regardless of what happens with her career, her albums, her voice. The fact that she has been able to get past some of this makes me love her all the more. And I really do think she has beaten it. The reason? Anyone who has followed Whitney for years knows she is NEVER this forthcoming. NEVER this truthful and honest. Interviewing her can be a nightmare, because she just does not open up. And I say that as someone who loves her. Obviously, as this clip proves, she has done some work on herself and is ready to be honest and free.

      Again, whatever happens with her career, I am delighted and thrilled that she is embracing the truth and reaching for a healthy, happy future.

      As a side note, my heart broke to ever think she thought she had to make herself smaller to find happiness with a man. She had the world at her feet and possessed the greatest voice in pop music. It goes to show the lengths the heart will go to find love and completion. I'm glad she learned that to stand alone, healthy and on your own terms is a victory when standing with someone else means desolation and destruction.

      Love you nippy.



    21. 21

      I can relate to that. Recently divorced myself because I got tired of making myself smaller…



    22. 22

      I will not watch it. I don't care about Whitney anymore. She is a washed up addict, and once an addict, always an addict. She end up going back to her drugged out bitchy ways.



    23. 23

      She *will end up going back to her drugged out bitchy ways.



    24. 24

      I can't wait! I love Whitney Houston and I'm so glad she made it through her darkest days and is back on top again.



    25. 25

      Re: Stephanie
      Shut the fuck up. Whitney has the #1 album is the country right now. That's FAR from "washed up". Dumb bitch!



    26. 26

      Gee, Perez, you attract an intelligent lot here. Yikes. I need stop hanging here.



    27. 27

      Stephanie keep your opinions to yourself baby..coz nobody loves you :) I blame your childhood coz your mother hates you so much she used to kick you down the stairs.



    28. 28

      crack is whack!!!!!



    29. 29

      Addiction never "goes away", but many people lead sober lives if they are committed to staying sober….good for her…..how hard it must be for her to admit these things….I wish her well….



    30. 30

      i don't have time to watch it i just talked to perez hiltion about shia la beouf i need to know if he'll marry me i don't like whitney i stopped watching the bodyguard i don't watch oprah i watched mr brooks and listen to lovebug i like lovebug the jonas brothers look cute dressed up live for the mtv awards 2008



    31. 31

      BOBBY YOU NO GOOD FO WHITNEY



    32. 32

      I can't believe some of the negative comments on here! Clearly some of you have 0 respect and compassion for nobody. This woman is an example of how someone so talented and brilliant can lose themselves by falling in love with the wrong person. I am proud of her for loving herself, her family and her fans enough to get herself back together. All you sick haters out there have what's coming to ya and well deserved. So sad to read these posts.



    33. 33

      I'm happy to see Whitney Houston back and it's so nice to see her well… sober. I'm sure it's hard for her to keep off of crack but it takes one step at a time and a solid foundation to keep you going.

      Maybe Lindsey Lohan's family should watch this.



    34. 34

      MARIO WHEN IS UR TELL ALL INTERVIEW?? I LIKE TO KNOW HOW SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A "CHARACTER" PEREZ HILTON ON TYRA BANKS GOES FROM BEING AN ASS SHAT TO GETTING SMACKED BY THE BEP. TOTAL TKO UPSIDE THE HEAD!! IS PEREZ HILTON REALLY A CHARICATURE OR A LAZY EXCUSE FOR AN UNTALENTED JEALOUS CUBAN IMMIGRANT WHO HAS TO PUT DOWN OTHERS TO MAKE HIS HOMO SELF A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX??? ENQUIRING MINDS… CAN'T WAIT!!! THE DOWNFALL OF PEREZ - WHAT HAPPENED. NEXT ON OPRAH.



    35. 35

      I hope Whitney is back and off that s*it for good. She's so incredibly talented. I wonder if she knows how much people really love and respect her? I sure do.

      Wow, she has completely lost her voice.



    37. 37

      ohh yes so heart wrenching haha shut upp



    38. 38

      when Whitney comes clean (no pun intended I think) about her relationship with Robin, THEN I'll believe that we've gotten to the bottom sotospeak.



    39. 39

      Damn! I didn't see any light in her eyes!
      I think she's full of crap!!!
      Out for a buck and totally
      still an drug loving fool.

      The Miss



    40. 40

      It's so sad because she was a superstar. Huge and incredibly talented and beautiful and she let a drug ruin her life. All for a stupid guy who was clearly an idiot. Love is blind. I am glad she is cleanin up and trying to have a comeback, but she is still kind of a mess and will be an easy target for people.



    41. 41

      HAVE TO SO THIS!!!



    42. 42

      I can wait to watch it ! Please people stop the hating some of u guys are so mean sad!

      What does Whitney's relationship with Robin have to do with her drug use..Nothing. She does not owe the world any explanations but she has decided to come clean about her the part of her life that almost destroyed her. Robin, Eddie Murphy or no one else has anything to do with that. There is a difference between wanting to be informed and being nosy. Some people expect too much. Just because we buy their music does NOT mean we are entitled to ALL of the details of their life. She really doesn't owe any explanations but is opening up and that should be enough. For those who said once an addict always an addict, you need to check your facts. Natalie Cole was more strung out then Whitney could ever be but once she came clean, her career really took off. Samuel Jackson has been clean for decades. You would be shocked and amazed at who the reformed addicts are. What's saddest is that so many of us are happiest when we can be angry with someone. Many would rather have a reason to no like someone then to give a second chance. Unless someone has the name Cissy Houston or Bobbi-Kristina Brown, you need to get over your attitude, your dislike and your anger and go find yourself a life of your own. Love her music but let the hate go, IT IS STUPID



    48. 48

      …Whitney could take advantage of her new raspy voice by doing Rod Stewart and Bonnie Tyler covers! Maybe even some Kim Carnes classics.



    49. 49

      Whitney is a lesbian. So is Oprah. All her talk about marriage is bullshit. And her new album is bad. It debuted at 1 due to curiosity. Let's see how fast it falls out of the top 10.



    50. 50

      I always figured she was hooked on crack. Kathy Griffin used to call her Cracky instead of Whitney. Where there's smoke there's fire. Her new song is beautiful, but you can tell all the years of crack smoking have fried her vocal cords.



    51. 51

      NEVER DO DRUGS



    52. 52

      Wow. Whitney got botox injections!!! She used to have that huge set of wrinkles between her eyes when she frowned and now it doesn't move at ALL.
      Good for her, finally cleaning herself up, but the new album isn't very good.



    53. 53

      I hate how you support Whitney but disrespect Mariah you fat mouse.

      Her voice is gone baby gone. She smoked it away. Too bad.



    57. 57

      I"m so proud of Whitney! It's great to see her back on her feet.



    58. 58

      I'll definetely be watching it whether I dvr it or watch it as its shown



    59. 59

      Ok just because OPRAH"S fat ass says ok I get it, is supposed to mean we ALL get it and all is forgiven??Funny Whitney doesn't blame Bobby.. Bobby Brown blames HER! How contrived!!
