Scroll down for updates…
According to celebrity gossip website TMZ.com, pop icon Whitney Houston was already dead before her head slipped under the water in a hotel bathtub Saturday. TMZ had previously reported that Houston, 48, drowned in the tub after ingesting a cocktail of prescription anti-anxiety pills mixed with alcohol already present in her system.
But a family member has confirmed to TMZ that, according to the LA coroner’s office, Houston died of a prescription drugs overdose. This is the same cause of death that was told to Sandrarose.com exclusively by a family friend in the hours following Houston’s death.
The record label exec, who was on his way to Houston’s hotel to be with the Houston family, reached out to Sandrarose.com to correct misinformation that was in the news media. Specifically, he wanted our readers to know that Houston’s leech, Ray J, was not with her when she died, and that Whitney died of a drug overdose.
Knowing I was one of the few bloggers with this info, I immediately logged onto Twitter.com to inform my followers — who responded by attacking my source’s integrity.
This is why credible sources have a hard time giving accurate information to blogs, because people who read blogs often have difficulty processing the truth — you would rather believe ridiculous rumors.
According to TMZ, Whitney’s mom has arranged to have the singer’s body flown back to Atlanta, as early as tomorrow. The funeral will be held here in Atlanta — the city that she loved.
Update I, 12:19PM ET:
CNN reports that Whitney’s funeral will be held in her hometown of New Jersey on Friday or Saturday.
Was it intentional?
Sandra I truly think you were attacked by the way you were saying things. You said Ray J killed Whitney because he was dragging her to Grammy parties. Sandra you have said some outlandish crazy ish but some of the things you were saying this weekend on twitter was not only crazy but disappointing as well
I’ll wait for the official toxicology report to come out…How is a family member going to know whats going on when they wouldn’t even let her own daughter see her body. They don’t know ish yet…For all we know she could have had a heart attack…years of abuse can take a toll on your body…
This seems to be the #1 killer for a lot of celebs.
Very sad.
Whitney was the greatest of all time, despite her downfall. R.I.P.
Sandy you have such a knack for tasteless pics.
RIP WHITNEY
Worst black history month Ever!
@OTB
But its mighty funny when Amy Winehouse died she put up the most tasteful pics of her
I will never understand why these doctors prescribe so many drugs to people with known drug problems. R.I.P. Whitney

That’s what her friends are saying. They are not happy with him. Ray J dragged Whitney to parties to be seen with her. He knew she would drink. If you know someone is an alcoholic, why take her to clubs?
SHE DIED AND IT WASN’T NATURAL
ALTHOUGH UNFORTUNATE, WHITNEY HAS STRUGGLED TO GET HER LIFE AND CAREER BACK ON TRACK
HER DEATH WAS SUICIDE REGARDLESS OF INTENTIONAL OR ACCIDENTAL, IT WAS HER TIME AND GOD CALLED HER HOME TO REST SO SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE
IT IS WHAT IT IS, CELEBRATE HER LIFE & REJOICE THAT SHE IS NO LONGER IN PAIN

@Tatted
Yeah Sandra made my jaw drop with the chit she was saying and that’s hard to do. I understand trying to be controversial but that chit was disrespectful to the ultimate level
@ChocD
I agree with you, but in all fairness, the pic that Sandy put up when Whit first passed on was very pretty!

First of all you could’ve picked a better picture! Second, I’ll wait for the official report. All these folks leaking information and the story keep changing. Yesterday there was a story that water was found in her lungs but today’s story is she was already dead before going under water. So people need to hush and wait until all the evidence is back and an official report is released.
Who is surprised? And she is gone. Thoughts now all should turn to Bobbi Kristina.

I’m with you on this.
I have been in constant prayer for Bobbi Kris and Cissy. I am devastated. I’ve been listening to Whitney sing I love the Lord constantly. She loved the Lord and he knew her heart. I take comfort in knowing that she is now resting ln his arms.
YOU DON’T INTRODUCE A DRUG ADDICT TO A DRUG DEALER, IF THE REPORTS ARE TRUE REGARDING RAY J, WHOSE ALWAYS APPEARED AS AN OPPORTUNIST
CRIMINALLY HE MAY HAVE NOT COMMITTED A CRIME, BUT HE DAMN SURE WASN’T BEING A “TRUE” FRIEND KNOWING HER ISSUES WITH DRUGS AND ALCOHOL TO COERCE HER TO BEING IN THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT
HIS CONSCIUOUS WILL EAT HIS ARSE UP, AND THE MEMORIES OF HER PARTYING WITH HIM SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED WILL TAP DANCE ON THAT NICCAS BRAIN

***************************
Sandra if that’s what her friends was saying then let dem say it why did you have to repeat that? Whitney is 48 years old how in the hell do you drag somebody to a damn party at the age. What did he say “oh you going to all these grammy parties or else I’m going to whip you”
Was I the only one that felt that the Whitney tribute was kinda weak…I know it was last minute but they could have given Jennifer more time and cut Nikki Minaj’s mini movie out of the show completely…it was so tasteless. And everytime Rihanna opened her mouth I got re-upset by the fact that Whitney is gone
RiRi really just needs to model ijs…
I pray for her family especially her daughter.. I can’t imagine losing you mom at such a young age… I hope she had everything in place for her so that she won’t be taken advantage of by the vampires that will try to take advantage of this little girls unfortunate situation.
@ CD – Oooh-wee! Tis one reason why this kind of job, is not for me! There are just SOME THINGS I could not form my mouth to say….no matter how true it is. Hurting someone’s family/friends is just not my goal…even in the name of my job!
@ Chocolate Diva
Everything that I said was the truth. I didn’t say Ray J stabbed Whitney to death. She was taking pills to keep up with his young ass. Sorry if my harsh metaphors upset you so much. Maybe you should spend your time reading another blogger who isn’t so blunt?

Sandra I am a blunt person by nature but I also have respect and tact for others in their time of mourning. Everything aint about being controversial and getting yo name in the press.
P.S.
Sandra I aint going nowhere unless you ban my ass so all that go somewhere else STOP IT.
@LadeeA Ms Sandra
The P-T-B that orchestrate Pre-Arranged HOMICIDES to LQQK Like Accidental-Deaths are the #1 killers of celebs.
Well, sad to see that she just couldn’t kick the habit….It is just too easy for celebrities to get their hands on prescription drugs. When a regular Joe has the same symptoms as a celebrity, they get a 10 mg pill, but a celebrity gets an 80 mg pill. These people are killing themselves. They are just so use to getting anything they want….money talks….brokey can stay without meds.

I kind of see what Sandra is saying though…you aren’t supposed to ENABLE those you care about…if he knew she had a weakness it would have been in her best interest that he leave her alone and not invite her out to the clubs with him…not saying any of this is his fault, but he will not have a positive memory of his last days with her because he wasn’t truly thinking about HER and HER well being…
I really hate she is gone….but God knows best… She want have to suffer no more… May God give her family strength to deal with her death.. RIP WHITNEY HOUSTON…YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED
He knew she would drink. If you know someone is an alcoholic, why take her to clubs?
—————————————————-
Cause if I ask…and you say yes then you grown just like me? How do we know that HE dragged HER to xyz place? How do we know that SHE did not decide to tag along on her own accord KNOWING where the destination was? My dad is an alcoholic but do we stash it all when he comes to fam functions? At my wedding, was I not supposed to have adult beverages b/c of the struggles of one? When we go to graduation parties, etc do we expect the host to cater to battle that HE has at the bottom of a gin bottle?

I totally agree with that…when she has on a lot of makeup on her. The more makeup they put on Rhiana, the better she looks. Without makeup, she looks like another basic chick. I hope she is paying her makeup artist well because, without her, she would not look that good.
None the less…….
RIP Whitney. I loved her voice regardless. It just makes me think that a little care can ultimately save someone’s life. Whitney had to make her own decisions regardless of the situation or whatever is presented to her. Her music is what I will remember.
WE ARE A RESULT OF WHAT WE CHOOSE TO BE….
Im knitting her some solid gold thread booties rat now!
@ChocD
@ELove
That is also VERY true… your #38
@ Fe – I understand that too, but listen, my mother is a recovering alcoholic. She has been sober for 20 years. SHE and SHE alone is responsible for her recovery. I don’t do those types of things in front of my mother out of respect and well, that is my mother, BUT my mother also know that club hopping is NOT in her best interest as well. We talk about free will, freedom of this/that all the time on this blog, but it just seems, to me, that SOME people and SOME causes are the exception to the rule!

:hugs: I hear you…my father is a recovering crack addict…so I understand the struggle.
I guess I just feel like people should know that with an addict you sometimes have to think FOR them, that is if you actually CARE about them…but we all know who Ray J’s main concern is… and that is Ray J…

Now see? As a fellow child of an alcoholic you GET what I am saying. My dad was sober for 22 years before he fell off the wagon. So now if he wants to get back on…that is on HIM.

Probably.

@ Fe – EXACTLY! Like I said, I understand what you are tom’bout! Truly I do! But in the 12 step program, which I’ve learned alot about because the first couple of years, I went to the meetings w/my mother EVERY CHANCE I GOT, it teaches you to surround yourself w/the proper people, places and/or things! Again, I know she was prolly vunerable, and Ray J’s actions are deplorable at best, but again, so is the body guards who was in the room, her entourage…because let’s be honest, it was complaints about the partying going on in her room. I find it tacky at best to only blame Ray J.
Listen, you and I….simply are NOT gonna go back and forth about this. You have your opinion and I have mine. At the end of the day, we are all responsible for our own actions, no matter who is enabling us!

They teach you this in AA. This is AA 101. You and you ALONE are responsible for your sobriety. And Sandra as a nurse I really WOULD like for you to acknowledge that alcoholism is a DISEASE. Its not a choice like you are making it sound like.
Ray J is STILL trying to become more famous than his sister. So what if he has to step over a few bodies to do it.

Sandra just did a post last week about how Ray J was a gentleman to Whitney opening her doors blah, blah, but now he assisted in the killing her. Oh….

SO TRUE I have worked in hospitals damn near my whole career..and don’t let them fool you modern medicine is a BISH!!!! for real…. you can find out a person life story in a lab report…
WHITNEY made her own decisions… ray j a druggie himself hell he supposed to help her… it was the blind leading the blind…. i blame her inner circle because they should have told his azz to SHOE FLY… but in typical “industry” fashion they were using her as well…. I am just going to say may she rest in peace… i think she committed suicide but that is my personal opinion… no way you take all them drugs… and then get in the tub… WTH
but Ray J tho????
ewwwwwwwwwwwww. Was sooo mad at Whitney for that.
Ray J looks like an eel with clothes on. Friggin opportunist.
@OTB (Comment #65)
YEP, YEP !!! Diane Sawyer TRIED to Tell Whitney Sumthing Too and WE ALL KNOW HOW That Went Though

I’m sure he didn’t and couldn’t tell her what to do, but he also didn’t have to be a part of it or further encourage it…his character is very questionable to me…
Hrm. :coffee:<—fresh squeezed oj. Took 3 damn oranges for about 10oz. The fukk.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO BLAME ANYBODY BUT WHITNEY? SHE WAS AN ADDICT.. AND SHE WAS AN ADULT THAT MADE HER OWN DECISIONS…
GOD CALLED HER HOME LETS LEAVE AT THAT…. BLAMING OTHERS FOR A HUMAN LIFE IS TERRIBLE AND DIRTY AS FUK!

I’ve watched numerous interviews of Whitney during her last years over the weekend. The most poignant thing she said was during an interview with Diane Sawyer. She said she is her own worst enemy and that no one tells her what to do. Whitney did what she wanted. No one MADE her do anything.
No matter the reason for her death, it came way too soon. And instead f vilifying her, I would rather celebrate her talent, her voice, and her life. Because up until the last 10 years or so, Whitney lived the life of dreams.
We will always love you, Nippy!

When you're an addict, you have to be careful of the company you keep. In this case she CHOSE to keep the company of a younger man who drinks and parties hard. Knowing this is his MO, she should have chosen to not be with him. Unless there's pictures of him holding a gun to her telling her to chug, and swallow, it was a choice she made. Unfortunate but true. I have a girlfriend that's a straight out whore, will I EVER take her around my man? NO, because she will CHOOSE to give him her puzzay and I don't want to end up on Snapped via the First 48

As much as I have clowned Willie Ray on this here blog I am really saddened that folks are saying he killed an icon.
The thing that gets into my crawl is that people mistaken opinion for TABERNACLE! If my opinion differs from yours, don’t mean i’m wrong and vice versa! I hate when ppl wanna go back and forth w/you about your opinion…especially if it differs from that of theirs!
I say that’s communication..it’s what makes the world go ’round and if we ALL had the same thought process, MY GAWD, MY GAWD how even more screwed would this world be!
I’m pretty sure Whit did what the phuck she wanted to do, so nobody mader her do anything that she wasnt willing to do.
Again, no one is BLAMING anyone…at least I’M not…I’m just acknowledging folks around her who did not have her best interest at heart…

Exactly. And now he’s acting like he’s soooo distraught when he never cared about Whitney in the first place. The truth will come out eventually.
Were all coming from a a very different place, IMO. Whitney has been famous for ever, Ray grew up in this same environment.
I reserve judgement. I cannot know what its like to be “hollywood”.
Daymn
I’ve ALWAYS loved Whitney we’ve been jamming to her stuff ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!!!!!
RIP Whitney!!!!!
I’m kinda disappointed in the comments you guys and tatted
yes we are all grown and no one can “force” us to do things however we are all our brothers keepers, if we see our children doing wrong we try to correct, we friends are doing wrong we try to assist and correct, and the same with family members.
Babe, if you was struggling w/ alcohol if I loved and cared about you why would i take you to a bar? or even invite you to one?
We are here to love and serve each other, yes we are ultimately responsible for our actions but what type of life would you lead if you had no support? if everyone in your life was like you on your own? I happened to agree with Sandra I maybe wouldn’t have chosen those words to use to get my point across but the message is the same. That goes for everybody her “crew”, ray j and whomever else enabled her.
People who love you do not assist you in your self destruction.
sorry for the rant
@KDUB SANDRA IS ACTING LIKE RAY J WAS THE ONE DOING THE SHYT WITH HER…. HE WAS NOT THERE FOR SO MANY YEARS ENABELING HER… SHE DID TOO MUCH THIS TIME AND WE LOST AN ANGEL.. LETS JUST LET HER REST IN PEACE..
If I know you got issues I shouldn’t be the one to enable you! If you want to self destruct you do that on your own time!
While I do think that Ray J is an opprotunist (sp) I do not belive that he had anything to do with killing Whitney
My father is an alcoholi and ain’t NOTHING me,my mom,a dui,his OWN health,etc can say or do to make him change. When an addict is in thier disease they are gonna do what they want to do when they want to do it. You can tell them no all day and tell them that if you do this,then this will happen and it does not matter.
Why not just let this legend rest in peace
Sandra Rose says: Sorry if my harsh metaphors upset you so much. Maybe you should spend your time reading another blogger who isn’t so blunt

i wish people would because the SR scolding is just too much for me. damn, don’t they know you by now? kneegroes acting like they’re your mother or something. you’re a grown azz woman with a blog that is quoted and referred to all over the nation. and it’s an entertainment blog, not a scientific journal or the last bastion of morality.
Oh and HI everybody

baby
@ Fe – I’m not saying you are blaming anyone. I made a general observation about many statements. I like the fact that we have a difference of opinion on this. I wouldn’t wanna think the same as you all the time. That would make for boring conversation and interaction.
Drugs are so not cool!!!!!!!! I remember when smoking weed was kind of cool so to speak, you know back when it was believed that it was harmless and not a gateway drug.I don’t mess with any of it.I don’t want to die some wierd death from being high.and I’m mad at Ms.Whitney.So many opportunities to get it together.So sad.
@Fefe riight???
All Hollywood folks see is money and opportunity. “Your” best interest doesn’t mean chit to them. When you’re on top..the “loveeeeeeee” you..they’ll let you snort cyanide..hell even go get it for you. But when you drop off they won’t spit on you if you’re on fire.
Ray J may not have killed Whitney directly..but he KNEW stepping out with her was a photo opp. I mean..who would be checking for him otherwise?
@CHANGE
I’m with you on this. While I don’t blame Ray J for Whitney’s death I don’t think he was at all good for her. Especially if he was an addict himself. You can’t help someone when you can’t even help yourself.
KeKe Wyatt tho? That girl can sang.
:hugs: @GAGIRL and Tange
If you dont think an alcoholic/ drug addict can be EASILY influenced or coerced into doing things they shouldnt be doin, then clearly you are NAIVE. They be LOOKIN for a REASON/EXCUSE. Yes, Whitney was a grown woman, but Ray J is a grown man that CLAIMS to love her. He’s supposed to be a close family friend. He KNEW this woman was ILL and BATTLING a DISEASE. He was put in a postion where he COULD HAVE ATTEMPTED to PROTECT her, but he didnt. He wanted to party and be seen.
Ray J always been cool with me, corny but cool. But Im sure he will FOREVER feel guilty for not STEPPIN UP and being a MAN abt this situation. He had a RESPONSIBILITY as her SO-CALLED BOYFRIEND/ long time friend.
People need NOT forget that alcohol and drug addiction is an ILLNESS. You wouldnt be COUGHING on a someone with AIDS, SMOKING over a CANCER patient, or feeding COOKIES to a diabetic with no legs.
YES, Whitney Houston made some BAD choices, but SOME of the people around her DEFINITLY enabled her and let her make a fool of herself for THEIR selfish gain. Ex: Being Bobby Brown Series
@SISNLAW
@ BABY
Please comment # 69. I state that Ray J’s action were deplorable at best, but it’s NOT just Ray J’s fault. She had an entire entourage around her! That’s what I’m saying. How can you blame one individual when she had body guards, yes men, henchmen and the like around her! I would NEVER take you anywhere that would be harmful or detrimental to you health, recovery, etc. but that’s just ME!
@E-love so true about the PTB.
They kill celebs left and right, but that’s a little to deep for many people. They’ll call you a conspiracy theorist if you think that way.
@Chatted
:hugs: Oh girl, I wasn’t referring to you when I said that…just to anyone who said that folks were blaming Ray J, I was just wanting them to know that I wasn’t blaming him…I was just acknowledging his selfish and unconcerned agenda…
it was the blind leading the blind…. .
And I think this is the point people are missing.
You can’t tell one addict to keep watch over another addict.
Do I even need to bring up Ray J’s indoor/outdoor money team pool rant?! That was that
talking.
I’ll wait until the coroner’s actual report is released.
What type of family members are speaking about her relationship with Ray J at a time like this?

WAS NOT WHITNEY AN ADDICT BEFORE RAY J WAS BORN????
Mindblowing question…….
Weed? Versus Xanax? Or Valium? Or all the other prescribed upper/downer killas?
Give me the weed.
@ Chocolate Diva: I don’t ban anyone for speaking their minds. I ban members who are repeatedly disrespectful to me or my readers. It takes a lot to be banned around here.
@BOI
Pretty much. You can’t stop an addict but if you truly care about them you shouldn’t be right next to them doing the same destructive sht they are doing.
INTENSEMOCHA THE ANTAGONIST says:
SHE DIED AND IT WASN’T NATURAL
ALTHOUGH UNFORTUNATE, WHITNEY HAS STRUGGLED TO GET HER LIFE AND CAREER BACK ON TRACK
HER DEATH WAS SUICIDE REGARDLESS OF INTENTIONAL OR ACCIDENTAL, IT WAS HER TIME AND GOD CALLED HER HOME TO REST SO SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If that’s the case then we all are suicidal. Everyone of use that eats Micky D’s, friend chicken, anything with butter, lights it up, or occasionally drinks. We all have our poisons, her addiction is no different than the all the nurse’s smoking outside the hospital in the smoking hut or those of us with bad eating habits. We all are killing ourselves slowy.
You can’t help someone when you can’t even help yourself
AND WE ALL KNOW RAY J WAS AROUND ONLY FOR ATTENTION.. SO HOW CAN WE BLAME THIS IDIOT FOR A WOMANS ACTIONS… THAT SHE BEEN DOING BEFORE RAY J EVER CAME AROUND.. WHY WOULD HE CHANGE HER OR EVEN MATTER IN HER DECISION TO DO WHAT SHE BEEN DOING? :shru: IMO SHE WAS JUST HAVING FUN WITH RAY AND NOTHING MORE..
^^
I don’t care what caused her death..that’s irrelevant! My prayers are with her mother and daughter. Can’t even begin to imagine what they’re going through.
Thank you God for blessing us with one your angels for 48 years with an amazing voice that touched so many souls…
I like the fact that we have a difference of opinion on this

My fellow leo lioness
I’m just saying if you know your family member is an alcholic I’m sure you are NOT offering the person the alcohol because you love and care for them. NOT saying that the person who not find these things on their own however you are not knowing your mother is a crack head coming home like mom I got you some crack
Or hey mom I have to stop by this crack house on the way to the store come ride with me that ‘s all I’m saying.
Everybody have their opinions and thats fine. I just hope that I am more surrounded by people who really care about my well being than people who are just “yes” men….
KeKe Wyatt tho? That girl can sang.
I wish she got more shine in the industry because baby girl can sing..
first, people pointed to bobby–it was bobby’s fault! he did it! now ray, who makes his money going around to different clubs collecting fees and partying all d*mn nite.
bobby and ray are still kicking. whitney CHOSE to engage in certain behaviors which ultimately killed her. i ain’t really down for re-mixing the grammys to fit her passing in either. she will have her time for tributes.
i read an addict’s comment on some news site and he said sobriety is a choice. once an addict, the want stays with you until you die. there is no cure. you just wake up every morning and decide what you want to do. she DECIDED to run with ray and he decided to let her but they both got what they wanted from one another. ray is no more guilty than whitney, plus she too d*mn old for that shyt anyway.
Chocolate
Chits about to get real
We all have a BIRTHDATE & a DEATHDATE you will not know the time or the hour
So I guess the only time Whitney drinks is when she’s with Ray J? She couldn’t have possibly had any drinks before or after Ray J on her own? Get out of here!

KeKe can sing, but her attitude smells like chit…LITERALLY…

Exactly. Neither Whitney nor Ray J were looking to “save” each other. And that’s a lot to put on a kid that has more than enough of his own issues.
Unlike Conrad Murray, Ray J wasn’t anyone’s doctor and wasn’t responsible for keeping anyone alive. To blame him for Whitney’s death is unfair.
@mizzdallas
KeKe did some interviews that turned many of her fans OFF…she had to go on and on about her life growing up with a white mother and how it affected her relationship with her husband (violent)…alot of stuff she said was stupid and ignorant sounding…you should be able to find it on the Essence website…
Speak @Free. Am i the only one who watched every episode of Being Bobby Brown?
@ Terri B, exactly! TMZ reported that she and a group of friends were partying the night before at the bar, and were very loud and lively…Ray J wasn’t there. So
Here in LA…the coroner is on TV saying he did NOT tell the family that there was no water in her lungs. He’s denying he told the family anything…I just watched him on the news.
Any whoodle…I miss my Whitney…gone too soon. RIP Queen!!

WOW the lady is DEAD let her rest in peace you talking kinda reckless
I’m sure Whitneys family is mourning, but more so for the lost spirit in her before things went haywire! A lifestyle of constant punishment on the body at some point will takes it’s toll! may her soul finally be at peace! Whitney was also my muse!
Still find it hard to believe. Whitney got some money hungry, opportunistic family members. I hate when people say they knew it was coming. We ALL have done something h that could send us to glory. Food is a drug, reckless sex, fast driving, etc. j

On the flip side couldn’t Whitney have decided to just be around her mother Cissy…I’m sure Cissy was not inviting her to clubs or parties…I’m sure that woman was praying for her only daughter…we choose who we allow in our life…she chose to surround herself with those into the party life and such
OutsidetheBox says: Speak @Free. Am i the only one who watched every episode of Being Bobby Brown
*************************
you know i did!
Everytime I have seen pics of Whitney and Ray she never appeared out of it. She actually seemed happy. I have neva heard Ray J try and get fame by mentioning her name in articles, interviews or etc. When people have asked about their relationship he always consistently replied “we are just friends”.
*sigh*
Yes, Whitney was an addict before Ray J was born, yes, she was using before he was in her life…and anyone around her during those times who did not have her best interest at heart were enablers IMHO…it just so happens that NOW he happened to be the one around her who didn’t have her best interest at heart…he’s not to blame, but he was one of many who was not concerned about the greater good of this woman…
re: KeKe That interview, admittedly, she was off the rocker but with that said its an interview. I cant pretend to know someone’s whole being from someone else’s words.
Thing is this, you don’t dangle meat in front of a dog because you know the dog is going to snap at it. The same rings true for an addict. You don’t take a known addict to a party, much less a bunch of them knowing they already lack the necessary self control to keep them from inflicting self-harm.
I have an addict in my family and clearly people that are saying “I don’t understand how someone else could be resposible for her own actions,” don’t know an addict. Addicts make their own decisions BUT RAY-J did not help the situation at all by willingly taking her and surrouding her with the part of the demons that possess her. And there are some fools that believe that Ray-J really cared about Whitney? That bimbo was only concerned with getting his status up and that would include being seing with and pimping Whitney to the press. Why is it so hard for people to understand this?
These people are a mess.
OutsidetheBox says:
Were all coming from a a very different place, IMO. Whitney has been famous for ever, Ray grew up in this same environment.
I reserve judgement. I cannot know what its like to be “hollywood”.

Yes Whitney is dead but Free ain’t saying nothing but the truth.
Anything in excess is not good for you but this whole comparing food to crack I don’t know about all of that
When I heard about the whole Xanax situation, I am concerned with that medication because I know that stuff can have you knocked out in minutes. My mom takes that or used to, and she says that medication is potent. I believe the best medication for recovering addicts is support, from family and friends, not medications that can ultimately kill you if taken in excess. Also acupunture helps.
@ Yso yeah but daymn it’s not that deep the lady is dead it was her TIME why dwell on chit you can’t change and then to end it with “Whitney should be ashamed of herself” Da F*uck
Watching the show ‘Being Bobby Brown’ made me realize how normal he was and how messed up she was…I’m just being honest here…and I heard that SHE introduced Bobby to the nose candy…not that it matters now, but I definitely acknowledge her role in her problem… at any rate, I’m sad that she’s gone…we all have demons…
Oh well… another star dies… News Flash… WE ALL WILL DIE… some sooner than later… I can’t be in my feeling about a woman passing who i never met. Two niccas were shot an killed in my city last week…and i can’t be sulking for everyone who dies…especially when their end was self-inflicted. Yes Houston was in the limelight and made some hot songs…but this will pass…I cant be going in on someone in one post and then be all “She was so great” in another..just not me…This week everyone is crying over the lose Next week we will be talking about how Bobbi Kristina is hanging out with Montana Fishbourne.
dont get me wrong I don’t wish death on anyone but….not everyone who dies will get my tears…
We lost Houston along time ago….

I hope we are all invited Like when Katherine Jackson invited us into the staples center to witness the impact Michael had on the world. The same I hope Cissy would allow to go for Whitney because she is that big of a star. Michael had a send off that was coordinated to perfection. Hope we can see Whitney’s as well. For real.

I get the comparison. IMO I see it as meaning Obese people or people with certain medical conditions know that certain foods are bad for them and will cause them harm but they still continue to eat the because they are addicted to that food and it makes them feel good. Crackheads know that crack is bad for them but they still continue to use it becuase it makes them feel good and they are addicted to they substance
My dad was on crack for many a year. I think its okay for everybody to give their experience(s) as well.
*correction* plus she too d*mn old for that shyt anyway.
I know that everyone should be held accountable for their own actions but why would they give a recovering addict a shyt load of prescription drugs? Why compensate her illegal drugs with prescribed ones
Same thing with Wayne. He has a known syrup addiction but its acceptable because its prescribed now.
Not speaking ill will but I hope this is a wake call for Rhianna.
Still
for Krissy. That child has got be catch hell right now
So what about the Pre Grammy party that she was supposed to attend? Would it been okay for her to attend that since Ray J wasn’t there? Or is it only when Ray J is around when its a problem? I’m going to guess drinking was not a once in every blue moon thing Whitney did whenever she hooked up with him. I’m sure there may have been some in her home, in her hotel room, hell she could have occasionally sip some while she bath. So Ray J or not, I’m sure there was bond to be alcohol in her system eventually. Stop trying to find someone to blame.
This week everyone is crying over the lose Next week we will be talking about how Bobbi Kristina is hanging out with Montana Fishbourne.

@Tange
Blue Ivy is a doll…I just couldn’t stop looking at her pics!
Keep praying for that family and especially Bobbi K… It is hard for anyone who has a parent that dies when they are young but for children who have parents with addictions, it can be extremely difficult. They tend to internalize it more and even blame themselves. The Mother/Daughter dynamic is skewed when addiction comes into play and even reverses roles. There was a story that I heard (with the understanding that it IS hearsay at this point) where Whitney was skipping around the lobby of the hotel and doing handstands by the pool and Bobbie K came and took her to her room. That lil girl is in PAIN right now. Bless her Lord.
I think prescriptions drugs are worse than “street” drugs. People can convince themselves it’s not bad cause they got it from a doctor. And drug companies are the biggest, baddest pushers around.
@ Ace, I just hope awareness is being spread. Again, as a child of someone who used to be out in the world like that, I have noticed that with the right support, a strong family, and Mustard Seed of Faith, all things are possible. I am more disappointed in the fact that there were no real support for this woman.
Lets celebrate some life amongst ourselves
She is a doll tho’ just perfect
@boistop
I do have a weakness for that chipotle, yes Lawd
She’s gorg @Change. And its the first new baby in their family since Juelz, I believe. I see why they are so enthralled.
Looks like Miss Tina to me though.
I wanted Beyonce to be nice to her daddy. M mama say the person who aggravates you the most, frames your baby’s face.
Food is dangerous over time. If you eat nothing but fatback, fried EVERYTHING, processed foods, no greens, etc it will take a toll on your body. It may not kill you but it will put a beating on your body inside and out. Crack don’t kill all addicts, but their bodies suffering everyday because of it.

Still sad..anyway you look at it. A legend has fallen..and since I personally don’t walk on water…I won’t speak ill of Whitney. RIP.
Here’s what I don’t understand sometimes…why is it when someone dies people look at you crazy when you mention some not so nice moments in their life…it happened…if someone is a cold blooded murderer when they die it doesn’t change the fact they were a cold blooded murderer…Whitney was a crack addict, her passing doesn’t null and void her actions on Being Bobby Brown nor when she looked like a skeleton at the MJ Tribute years ago or when she was on that “crack is wack, show me the receipts” ish with Diane Sawyer

Same thing ma’am. We all know how some foods are not good for us and what it can lead to, but its so good we take our chances, or use the excuse “I’ve been eating it all these years and nothing has happen”. We all know what effects smoking can have on us and how it can lead to death, but yet there are so many smokers out there. No different than crack, we know what it can do to use, but yet so many turn to it anyways.

Really, who cares about Ray J? The honest truth is that Whitney liked him because they were getting it in. While Im really saddened by her death, people need to keep it 100. Whitney was a grown ass woman who had control of her life at one point and made bad decisions with it. Makes no sense to come for Ray J. Whitney had issues with her mother and father that profoundly affected her life. She never got over it. I just pray that Bk can find some peace.

I think Tony meant it would be more regulations in the ingredients. People just put any ole thing in drugs nowadays. What we need is a nationwide database and better doctors that not chasing $$$. Conrad Murphy was making 150K a MONTH for ONE client. That type of $$$ makes all moral and legal standing run right out the door.
I’m still tryng to wrap my head around her NOT being on this earth anymore. I played her music ALL weekend…Her and Mary J Blige have gotten me through a lot of life situations..so personally I am truly heartbroken
Whitney was an addict and she admitted it…Yes she should have stayed away from drugs and alcohol…but she didn’t LOVE herself enough to want to do what was necessary to LIVE. Instead of a glass of bubbly…what about club soda with a twist of lime…Instead of sleeping pills…what about some warm milk with a little sugar and a dark quiet room.

He passed himself off as someone who cared about Whitney. He KNEW she loved him. He USED her. She would follow him wherever he asked her to go. But he should have known better than to take her certain places because she was an addict. Do you understand now? I don’t know how else to explain this. You don’t take advantage of an addict who wants to be loved by a younger man.

I see where you are going Sandra. Although he is not technically responsible he does carry some of the weight. I have recovering addicts in my family also and we have to be very discreet around them. We try not to drink and/smoke around them during family functions because it triggers their addictions. I dont blame Ray J…I blame the doctors who gave her the shyt in the first place. Regardless if she was taking them to keep up with Ray.
RE: What Tony Bennett said…
My father has stated very emphatically that if they ever legalized crack he would have had no desire to use it…I don’t know what that means, but there has to be some sort of legal psychological issue associated with an addiction on that level…
Janis Joplin

You are attacked Sandra because of the neg. way you give info. I use to rate your site as the “NY Times” of the blogs. You were so different from the other blogs which were so tacky in my opinion.

@boistop I believe she admitted on Oprah she laced her weed with cocaine…but based on my limited drug information most addicts I’ve watched documentaries on eventually end up using crack

When you TRULY love yourself..you take care of yourself without anyone’s help nor input.
If only she had LOVED herself…..smh

It’s not that easy, that’s why they call them addicts. If that’s the case, why don’t you tell every diabetic, why not a salad instead of friend chicken, why not a fruit salad instead of that cake. It can easily be one of use, maybe not with drugs, but a different poison could get us.
lol, who fcked the thread up again…everything is in italics!

RE: What Tony Bennett said…
My father has stated very emphatically that if they ever legalized crack he would have had no desire to use it…I don’t know what that means, but there has to be some sort of legal psychological issue associated with an addiction on that level…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve heard that too, Fe. Just like in Holland, since Marijuana is legalized, they say their drug problems are not as substantial as other countries. I wonder…..

I was watching my niece this weekend while her daddy (my brother) moved into a new place and her mama was giving birth to my nephew.
I was re-twisting my locs and this child kept saying my hair was rude and nappy. She’s only 5 so I let it go while smdh.
___________________________________________________
not “rude” tho. I can’t….:rofl:
my coworker said the DAY after blue ivy pics come out the illuminati is REAL …..
i had a friend whose son died from crushing and snorting Xanax she sued the doc (and lost) because she said he kept refilling it KNOWING the man was an addict but alas the courts said the dr had no control if the patient wasn’t taking it the way it was prescribed… WTH!!!!!
Ray J may have been using her, but she was probably using him as while. An addict is going to find a way to get what they want and there is nothing anyone can about that, other than locking them up.
Also, not everyone is strong enough to tell the people they love no, and if she knew that he was soft in that way, why would she not want him around?
@Chatted
Yeah, there’s a correlation for sure, I’m just not sure what it is…

Dirties are not crack though.

See comment #228. I saw the teaching moment but I was not in a teaching mood.
And no, her hair isn’t relaxed. She was talking bout how her mom has to put gel in her hair to “make it pretty”. I’ll do better if there is a next time, I promise.
@Laker
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … multiple medicine bottles were found in the Beverly Hills hotel room where Whitney Houston died … but we’re told there were NOT a lot of pills at the scene.
Among the pills … ibuprofen (painkiller), Xanax (anti-depressant), Midol (for menstrual cramps), amoxicillin (for treating bacterial infections) … and more.
We’re told the amoxicillin was prescribed recently because Whitney had been suffering from a sore throat.
We’re told some of the pills were old … some issued in 2011 … but some of the bottles were from 2012. We’re told the bottles that were recovered at the scene did not contain a lot of pills.
Sources tell us … some of the prescriptions were filled at the infamous Mickey Fine pharmacy in Beverly Hills … where Michael Jackson had numerous prescriptions filled for Demerol and other drugs.
Law enforcement sources tell us … it’s possible Whitney suffered a heart attack caused by an adverse reaction to her medication, but it is simply too early to make an official call on the cause of death.
I mean at some point we have got to deal with addictions as a disease and not a choice JMO
Watch the crib fools.
@MZWHANG
That “rude” was what got me too. It’s funny but it’s not.
Its all sad, the demons people have are sometimes to strong to overcome and if you have yes people around you 24 hrs a day then they become your demons. Whitney was alot of people’s meal ticket so they would never tell her no, she was a drug addict and no one could make her do anything she did it because she wanted to. She said it best, she was her worst enemy. Anybody that watched Being Bobby Brown saw what kind of distructive life she was leading. Also, please stop blaming BB for her downward spiral, they were both addicts and they fed off of each other. AGain its sad that she couldnt live for her daughter and be there for her but addicts only thing about themselves and their next fix. RIP Whitney…

I blame my baby for this! She thought she was easing the mood by tom’bout Blue Ivy and don locked the blog….then dipped out!
Yes love

Actually i just saw the pics online and became smitten i thought I would share my happiness!
Was it too early? no?
I think there is way more than what we are hearing. Remember the media will not reveal the truth to you. For all we know this could be a homicide. I won’t put it pass anyone.
“make it pretty”.
Awww.
At least get her some Eco Styler Olive Oil gel. I bet they using Let’s Jam or something. 
@ACE
IM GOOD
I HUNGRY THO.. WHAT WE EATING FOR LUNCH?
Since most celeb funeral were usually held at New Birth, I wonder where Whitney’s will be? I wouldn’t let Eddie Long bury my head in the sand let alone bury my child.

Anyone hear how Wayne dissed Jay and Ye this weekend? He said something like I took a red bone home and asked what she wanted to watch, she said certainly not the throne
*************************************
That’s what considered a diss now. The predator needs to do betta
Why come I can only see part of the ham in my gvari? Did KDUb eat my ham? Also that reader who was telling yall to get fish pox or whatever from the pet store I hope she didn’t give advice to Whitney…
He said something like I took a red bone home and asked what she wanted to watch, she said certainly not the throne
And by red bone he means that ugly ass middle eastern looking thing he banging.

She should keep her remains in LA and have the funeral @ Staple Center. It’s only right.

I thought they would take her home, to the church in New Jersey.

Sandra I truly think you were attacked by the way you were saying things. You said Ray J killed Whitney because he was dragging her to Grammy parties. Sandra you have said some outlandish crazy ish but some of the things you were saying this weekend on twitter was not only crazy but disappointing as well
——————————–
yeah Sandra I was really tripping off of some of your tweets this weekend. I have got used to what you say about people, but some of your comments I was just floored….
I’m mad you have that woman wit the black sesame seeds stuck on her buttocks in ya gravi!

Sandra ain’t said nothing regular everyday folks ain’t said. She just gets zoomed in upon because she runs a blog. Pookie mama and Ray Ray dem who sold the crack to Whitney back when tweeted the same thing and nobody wished death to them. It is truly a double standard… glad I’m just a regular ole somebody.
I love you Whitney You the best of all time… Rest Now well done
Inspite of it all My God is still in control! Yes we all have our short comings walking in the flesh but My God is so Awesome he has our souls and we find rest in spirit.
I love you because you were not ashamed of the Gospel you confessed that he was your Saviour Jesus Christ and thats what matters…Aint our God so Awesome

But she wasn’t with RayJ when those pics of her in the black dress were taken.
WHITNEY’S VOICE WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES! NOT FOCUSING ON THE NEG (CUZ WE ALL HAVE THEM), SHE WAS THE BEST AT WHAT SHE DID. RIP(IN PARADISE) NIPPY. SHE HAS LEFT US WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CLASSIC MUSIC THAT WILL BE ENJOYED BY GENERATION FOR YEARS TO COME. LOVE YOU WHITNEY!!!
Sorry, but I just don’t understand people who on the one hand acknowledge that addiction is a disease, but on the other – think an addict (“grown arse woman”) is responsible for their own behavior! I mean, pick one and run with it!
An addict is not only sick but also completely impaired to be in a position to make sound decisions and judgements for themselves. The disease of addiction directly affects the BRAIN functions and capabilities.
Whitney, as a sick woman suffering from the disease of addiction, was never in a position to make sound judgements for herself. Her disease of addiction meant that she was impaired, mentally and was not of sound mind.
Therefore, those saying that she was a grown woman and strong-willed and therefore responsible to do whatever she wished, CLEARLY do NOT understand the disease of addiction! She may have been an adult, and that is where your accuracy end as far as this sick woman. She was NEVER in a position, as a sick woman with impaired judgement caused by the disease of addiction, to be either fully cognizant or responsible to make sound decisions.
Sandra is therefore correct to suggest that those around her, including Ray J. – fully understanding her sickness and hence, vulnerability – had NO BUSINESS further exposing her to the things, places and events that they did.
At the end of the day, a true and caring friend OR family member, knnowing that you are in essence, MENTALLY ILL – regardless of your age OR strong personality – etc … has NO BUSINESS ignoring THAT and treating you as though you were a normal and healthy, thriving person. They are responsible to ensure that they protect you from what could potentially harm you, and instead support and direct you more towards getting better!
Anyway, she will remain an icon and her gift will live on and continue to bless many, many people for a long, long time.
Thank you, Whitney, for sharing yourself with us, and may your soul truly Rest In Peace.
