‘I Got Whitney Houston Hooked On Drugs’ – Brother Reveals

If there’s a secret you don’t want to divulge, never go on Oprah Winfrey’s show-she knows how to make people the truth. She recently did it with Lance Armstrong, now it’s Whitney Houston’s brother.

The late singer’s brother says he’s to blame for introducing the singer to drugs like crack cocaine back in the ’80s, and not Bobby Brown like most people think.

Michael Houston sat down with his mother Cissy and spilled his guts to ‘the Confessor’ on “Oprah’s Next Chapter”, admitting he was the first person who did drugs with Whitney.

Michael says he feels extremely guilty for Whitney’s death, but says he didn’t realize how deadly drugs could be when he first brought them to Whitney’s doorstep, explaining, “You gotta understand at the time … the 80s … it was acceptable.” Houston adds, “It’s painful … I feel responsible for what I let go so far.”

Whitney Houston died in Beverly Hills last February after what was regarded as an excessive indulgence in drugs including cocaine, Xanax and marijuana.
