Whitney Houston 'happy' in days before death - World - CBC News



That would apply to every celeb with talent . Maybe MJ , Elvis, and the host of others should have had the inner strength to "just say no" . Those that have worked with addicted clients will tell you......it is not that easy and a whole lot more complex. Some just have a genetic tendancy towards such dependancies. As has been said.......one has to walk in their shoes to truly understand what the whole dynamic was.

what is even more tragic is that all the deaths of such powerful talents has not influenced the drug culture one bit. (as in detered it)

Why is that?? If it is so easy to say no , when addicted or potentially addicted........why isn't it happening??

that is the pitiful question, the strong and the selfish and the criminal element, who are also pitiful,
will take advantage of the horribly weak, and it goes on and on and on, and we consider the wars in
the middle east the worst, well I don't, I consider the miserable behavior of those two types of the
human race as the worst.

I suppose all thru the history of the human race, those two types have always existed, and taken advantage,
and been taken advantage of throughout time.

yeah, and nothing changes.

but something that does bother me is that, drug use is quite accepted; and throughout my lifetime,
(no drug use when I was in high school, in my city, and school),(but alchohol was a big problem), during the early fifties, and now the two problems are a huge drag on society, alchoholism and drug addiction, things are getting worse, not better.

It is sad and worrisome when I hear that drug use will never be controlled, which tells me that there
are many pay offs within the legal system, and also drug use within the legal system, so how can this ever be stopped.

Whether it is called the legal system, the police, or whatever, it is still a human problem, they are all
just human beings, no matter what uniform they wear, and they become part of the problem instead of part
of the solution.

Which tells me, 'what is next' on the horrow list.

actually whitney houston didn't look as bad now, as she did when I saw pictures of her a few years back,
so it seems she had made some progress from that point, but obviously no where near back to normal,
and maybe never would have been, we'll never know now.

It doesn't take long these days.

For me just another washed-up has-been celeb drug addict. I care not.

well, there is a reason for the words on your graphic. Many folks follow the celeb lifestyles of the rich and shameless as they would the tabloids. IF the media gave the same amount of attention to the troops who are dying, maimed, scarred for life, (mentally and physically) as they do to each Celeb...... the public would truly realize what WAR is and stop supporting it realizing the gov't propaganda and lies. It could be said that this window into these horrific deaths would be the biggest wake up call of all.

I beg to differ. these troops are NOT dying for the people. (that is propaganda and Bull crap) they are dying for the politicians who have their own ambitions when they start these wars. But it makes for a story line that the sheeple will swallow. Many would make the troops into celebs with the amount of hero worship that is expressed about them. It is the gov't that sends them into these elective wars of choice .....NOT the population. The population is not even asked for their input.

About not caring. Seems that many of these very talented people that become celebs have many personal issues of having been used and abused as a commodity........and feel that the only part people care about is the talent & Image and not the person. That creates a huge void and emptiness. It is an isolated lifestyle and body guards are not family or a support system. There is also a big gap between the image and the real person.

The 99.999 % of people who have worked hard all their lives, stayed within the law etc, can understandably be resentful of one who is born with both the gift of beauty, voice, and the contacts to promote it. I am one of those selfish sorts who has trouble with seeing monstrous amounts of money being pizzed away and family trashed by a petulant and unhealthy mind.
Darwinism can be a good thing.

That may part of the problem for some of these people. They have all the talent, ability, looks and the media keeps saying how wonderful they are and what a wonderful life they must have. Just because Whitney was beautiful and had a one in a million voice it was expected that she be happy. She may very well have felt guilt and shame if she wasn't happy. There must be something wrong with her after all. People like her are supposed to be happy.

Bobby Brown is fully convinced Nick Gordon was responsible for the deaths of Whitney Houston and their daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, because he was known as a “provider of party favours”.

The former New Edition star has long held a grudge against Gordon for his alleged role in the 2015 death of Bobbi Kristina, his 22-year-old daughter with his late ex-wife Houston, who was found unresponsive in the bathtub of the Georgia home the young couple had shared.


Bobbi Kristina’s passing occurred three years after Whitney had also died in similar circumstances, with drug use listed as contributing causes in both tragedies.

In 2016, Gordon was found legally liable for his girlfriend’s death but he was never officially charged, and on January 1, 2020, he himself died from a heroin overdose.

Now Bobby has opened up about the personal heartaches in a new Red Table Talk interview, insisting he still believes foul play was “definitely” involved in Bobbi Kristina’s loss, while also linking Gordon to the death of Whitney.

“He was the only one there in both situations, with my ex-wife and with my daughter, and they both died in the same way,” the former New Edition star said.

Asked outright if he believes Gordon was responsible for killing Whitney, he replied, “I believe so.”

He is sure Gordon was the one to provide both women with the drugs that led to their untimely deaths, stating, “This is my opinion of who I think this young man was, being around my daughter, being around my ex-wife. I think he was more a provider of party favours.”

Bobby further claimed of Bobbi Kristina: “She unfortunately was stuck in a relationship, an abusive relationship, with a boy that basically controlled her to the point where her life was taken,” he argued.


He went on to explain he had wanted to sit down for a one-on-one discussion with Gordon, but missed his opportunity as Bobby was in rehab for his own personal struggles when he died.

Bobby continues to mourn the loss of Whitney and Bobbi Kristina to this day, but he is determined to move forward for the rest of his family.

“It was rough, and it still is rough. I think about it every day,” he said. “(The pain is) pushed down. I’m keeping it away from me as much as possible because I couldn’t do nothing then and I can’t do anything now (sic).”

Bobby also recently suffered yet another family tragedy with the drug and alcohol-related death of his 28-year-old son, Bobby Brown, Jr., in November.
