      In another interview, she said Gary’s continued drug use, attempted rehab and then relapses, put her and her children, through emotional hell. She tried to help, went to counseling andvrehab meetings with him, but eventually saw the damage it was doing to her and her chikdren and had to leave to protect them! Had she not, they may have ended up using themselves: I mean, look at Bobbi Kris, after being with and seeing her parents smoke crack and get high....she ended up going down that same, destructive path! Whitney’s chauffer said he was horrified, when he saw them injesting drugs in front of their little girl! And in the end, she died too.......Monique did all she could, was fighting a losing battle and put hetself and her children's safety first! She def cones across as the most thoughtful, intelligent one of the lot of them!

      As a Whitney Fan, from the time she graced rhe cover of Seventeen magazine, I then fell in live with that “once in a lifetime VOICE”! It was heartwrenching, watching her denial, esp on the interview with Diane Sawyer, and ultimate downward spiral.
      I have and listen to, all of her music, saw her perform live and closely followed her, through articles in print and interviews. Over the years, it became apparent that her whole family were, “hangers-on”, caring more about the $ than their Sister, daughter! Cissy always struck me as being jealous of her daughter’s worldwide fandom and fame, while her father sued her for almost $100 million. They still seem to be trying to make money from her, by authorizing this new docudrama that will be releases in the US this summer! SMH They might claim to be Christian (even though Cissy had an affair with the church preacher), but I think their real God is the almighty $ and living the good life, supplied by Whitney’s talent and gift!

    I think she makes a lot of sense. I also think when she is talking about who brought the drugs into the household,she was talking about her ex,Whitney's brother Gary! Both her brothers had serious drug addictions. People have blamed Bobby Brown in the but I think her brothers probably enabled and encouraged Whitney to use more than anyone. Whitney could afford her own drugs but her brothers couldn't. So they enabled Whitneys behaviour to make sure their addictions were fed along with hers!

    Though she may have a desire to shame Gary, she also said Whitney was the only one to reach out to her. I think it's important to talk about drug abuse and the lies and the enabling that goes on in families. Whitney by all accounts, namely herself ... She'd always had a "bad habit", long before she met Bobby. If you've ever been in love with a substance abuser, it's not unusual for one to also pick up the habit. Sad but true.

    Are you getting Monique Houston confused with Pat Houston?Monique is the EX wife of Whitneys brother Gary. She hasn't been involved with the family for years. PAT Houston is Garys current wife, who was Whitney's 'Manager' and had access to the private funeral home. Bobby Browns sister sold pictures of Whitney's bathroom in 2006. I wouldn't be suprised if her own brothers and Pat sold the pictures of Whitney dead in a casket. They all needed money after Whitney was no longer around to leech off!

    After looking at early interviews it seemed to me, Whitney was taught to sing and perform and be a certain way and looked to for money and given drugs by family members but never accepted for who she was or loved in a wholesome way. Even her church seemed to put her and her mom in the spotlight and it became a performance. To recover from that much control, drugs and enabling she needed to live in a different universe. And to be around loving healthy people and a spirituality that drew from a loving God. Imho. So many facets to this saga. I think Kevin C. Saw her heart and spoke the truth about her best, Whitney in spite of her great gifting cried out, am I enough? And wanted to please everybody.. she ran her race and is now unconditionally loved forever.

    The problem with this Houston family is their hypocrisy and lack of authenticity. More focused on appearances than actually being decent people. Whitney grew up surrounded by people with double lives and she grew up and lived the same way. Her mom led the choir while sleeping with the pastor. Her dad was also unfaithful. He was a civil servant but also a crook. Her parents divorced but pretended to the world that they were still together. Whitney was presented to the world as a pop princess when she was really from the hood. She was doing drugs but portraying the good girl. Her brothers who were supposedly there to protect her but were supplying her with drugs and getting high with her. Her WHOLE family claimed to love her but were really sponging off of her. They talked about God with their mouths but did not glorify Him with their lives. THIS FAMILY WAS A MESS.

His mother and cissy came to a hearing to attempt to stop my cousin from receiving his pension and insurance after he drank him self into the grave. They did nothing while he was alive to make him stop. The Drinkards were all alcoholics and drugs was just a natural progression. Whitney had a genetic issue with drugs and alcohol and so did Cissy and both boys. I hope they get help.

What is the difference between Monique Houston talking and Whitney Houston mom writing a book so soon after her daughter's death? Whitney's brother Michael tells Oprah that HE NOT BOBBY BROWN started Whitney on drugs. That family let Bobby Brown take that rap for years and he could barely defend himself to the public.

    There is so much about the houston family I find really strange. As a grandmother I can not understand how Cissy Houston was not interested in having a relationship thru all these years with Monique's children. Likewise money supposedly not a problem for Cissy,did she encourage her son to pay support for them? Did she help herself? If I could I would gladly pay for my grand child's college education. Likewise, Monique wasn't allowed at the funeral,but that awful man who took the casket picture was given full access !! How many of the hundreds at the funeral that day actually had real feeling for whitney?? Mr. Brown was not allowed enough seating for his children, was only supposed to come with two of them? In some ways he has shown more dignity and class than many of the Houston's in the past three years. Now that Gary will come into millions of his own maybe he will do right by his children and ex-wife but it seems once any of them cut u off they are done with you.

She had to want to receive the help for and by herself, but everyone would have rather enabled her and keep the cash flowing rather than getting her proper treatment. Robyn Crawford was the only one who seemed genuine and real toward Whitney and had her best interests at heart. Those who seem to tell the truth and blow the lid off all the bullshit seems to be shoved in the background and Monique Houston seems real genuine about her experience with the Houston family.

She claimed that the water wasn't running. So who turned off the water? How did Whitney manage to get in a tub full of water so hot that it caused second degree burns? Either Whitney got into the tub while the water was running, slipped, and was unconscious, therefore causing the bath tub to flood. Or someone else was in the room while she was dying before the assistant came in to find her dead body submerged in water and they were the ones to turn off the faucet.

      Marticia Williams however, Gary’s last name is Houston legally.

      Why does it matter if he's a Houston by birth or if he was legally given the name by Whitney's dad, John?. He is indeed Cissy Houston's son by birth and Whitney's biological brother because they have the same mother. This whole notion of half sister/brother always seems irrelevant to me, but people like to use it as way of invalidating or making that sibling less than or illegitimate in some way.

    I love Whitney but people are in denial acting like they didn't know, i knew the first time I saw her on television wearing this beautiful white gown just introduced on stage and already sweating on her top lip she was using cocaine. Of course there's a Great Talent but we have to stop pretending we don't see shyt especially when it's right in our faces. You can love someone and hold them accountable when it's a matter of life and death

      It sounds like Whitney was financially supporting a lot of people in her family. Maybe that's why they didn't go out of their way to help her get clean? They needed her to stay sick.

      Not that it's not normal for people to sweat while on stage...especially while singing with all the lights......but I've always noticed this. Even in the Bodyguard she always sweated on her top lip and on the sides of her nose. I did think it was strange for her to be so slim but I guess I just thought it was where she sweated. I never figured it was because of the drugs. But that would make sense.

      @@lanicedavis4936 I have always sweated alot skinny or fat and I sweat on my nose and top lip. I sweat easily too. My Dad was the same way. I didn't know that was a sign of cocaine use. :(
