Whitney Says Bobby Brown Spit On Her

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 14th 2009 01:54PM

As the world waits to see Oprah Winfrey's two-part interview (airing 9/14 and 9/15) with Whitney Houston, the first details of it are coming out ... and boy are they disturbing. During the interview, Houston says that during her drug-filled marriage to Bobby Brown, he was emotionally abusive and spit on her once. Houston also tells Winfrey that Brown "slapped me once but he got hit on the head three times by me."

Houston, now 46, says that she was "horrified" when brown spit in her face, and that she was "very hurt, very angry" by the incident.

She also said that she slipped into a drug-induced spiral because she "had so much money and so much access to what I wanted. I didn't think about the singing part anymore. I was looking for my young womanhood."

Houston goes on to say that Brown "was very much the father, he was very much the man. He was very much in control. I liked that. When he said something, I listened. I was very interested in having someone have that kind of control over me. It was refreshing." She called Brown her "drug," saying: "I didn't do anything without him. I wasn't getting high by myself. It was me
and him together. We were partners."

The pop star says her drug use became "heavy" after her 1992 hit movie and soundtrack for 'The Bodyguard.' She tells Winfrey that she used to smoke marijuana that was laced with cocaine. "You put your marijuana, you lace it, you roll it up and you
smoke it," Houston told Winfrey.

Houston is currently in comeback mode with the successful release of her first album in seven years, 'I Look to You.'

Winfrey told Access Hollywood the interview "will leave you gasping," adding, "She does not blame her ex-husband Bobby Brown and she takes full responsibility for her engagement in drugs."

"At one point she says, 'I didn't get out of my pajamas for seven months'. She talks about doing the drugs and sitting in the house and the two of them going, 'What are we doing?'"

Wow, for those of you that evidently can NOT read, let me quote the article for you: "Winfrey told Access Hollywood the interview "will leave you gasping," adding, "She does not blame her ex-husband Bobby Brown and she takes full responsibility for her engagement in drugs."" REPEAT - SHE DOES NOT BLAME HER EX-HUSBAND ... AND SHE TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ENGAGEMENTS IN DRUGS. Sheez!

By Weenie

The woman has always been a mess and she's trying to put all the blame on Bobby when she only has herself to blame. They deserved one another.

Whitney will NEVER give up drugs just like Oprah can't give up over eating! Whitney girl, the drugs killed your voice. And you made a new record just to have drug money. We are so over you girl.

RMT......she may say that, but that's what's she's doing. Telling everyone how bad she had it with him and how he treated her. After seeing their reality show, she wasn't any better. She's trying to get sympathy now.

By Sunshin

.......I always loved Whitney and I'm so glad she's come back.....GOD Bless you Whitney!!!!

By Travis

I heard her new song today for the first time and it's embarrassingly bad. When she says "I Look to You" she must be talking about her crack dealer.

By katzeye

Whitney Swhitney! I'm sorry. I just don't like her.

By james

The beauty that is within was always there, hidden from the self and the world. You can hear this in her songs. Whitney, thanks for all of the memories, all of the song, all of the love. It was time to step out of the darkness and come fully into the light. It was time to experience the beauty of life and of the self.

By FC

As always money and power can justify addiction and Whitney can be on top. If her producers thought differently; she would be in the hole with the rest of us. Granted I believe she has a great "studio" voice but I have second thoughts about her live. Studio's can really "tweek" the necessary vocals to make a "tight" song. If she was on the street, without a great past music history, the courts would throw her in rehab and possibly jail. Sucks to be poor!

I WATCHED HER REALITY SHOW AND SHE IS A DISGUSTING PERSON.

By Mona

Whitney,
as you can see people will judge you as if they do nothing wrong. Life is full of ups and downs. You move on and learn from your mistakes. nevermind what people say because their kitchens aren't clean neither!

By nicole

I am still worried about Whitney! Clearly her relationship with Bobby brown was a toxic one. Why is he still in her video's? He has gotta go Whitney. I know he is the father of your child, but he is toxic.. God bless you. You look wonderful. Just remember when your faith is tested, that you are better than any high, slap or spit in the face. Your a classy lady! God bless!

By stt60

All I can say is it looks like Opra is setting her viewers up for another stupid fad diet she goes on on to loose 100 pounds for the 15th time. You viewers of Opra are such loosers get a life.

By Jeri

Oprah, what are you doing? Just wasting your time interviewing Whitney about what we already know. Where were you when all this was going on? Her "story" is old news. Actually, her voice sounds terrible. Drugs do bad things. I am more interested in the heathcare situation, homeless people, social security, and the war.

By Chris

this is a rampant problem in the black community and it needs to stay in th eblack community

By Bob

Man you really have a problem don't you. The problem has no color or ethnic barrier. The problem is all of ours regardless of the color of your skin or the community you live in. Your comment was the lowest I've read yet, wow! You know what, I think the problem is actually you. Get educated man and make sense of your comments!

By katie

Your a moran, shut up. I know plently of drug abusers and yes some do go back. But some stay clean.

By dmdiva7

Whitney is human and like many stars who catapault to fame suddenly and dont know how to handle the stress of stardom so they turn to drugs.She can now tell her story that may help some rising starlett in the future she can now join the ranks of natalie cole mary J and so many more we fall down , but we get up....Keep ur head up Whitney God Bless
