Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, is set to break her silence on her mother’s death to talk show legend Oprah Winfrey.
The Christian Post has confirmed that Oprah has signed up members of Houston’s family for an exclusive interview, which may also include Houston’s brother Gary, as well as sister-in-law and manager, Patricia.
The hugely anticipated interview will air March 11 at 9 p.m. on Oprah’s cable network OWN. The interview will be part of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” series.
Speculation is that Bobby Kristina will let a few cats out of the bag during the exclusive interview. The main point of interest is who leaked the pictures showing Whitney Houston in her casket. Reports have been swirling that the culprit is Bobby Brown’s sister Tina Brown. The photos were sold to the Enquire, and Cissy Houston (Whitney Houston’s Mother) asked police to investigate.
A news release by Own has described that daughter Bobbi Kristina will share “personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered. The family also addresses the rumors and speculation surrounding Houston’s death,” according to the LA Times.
Bobbi Kristina has been the center of a whirlwind of media attention since her mother tragically and suddenly died just a day prior to the Grammy Awards ceremony. It has been reported that Bobbi Kristina has been struggling to cope with her mother’s untimely death, and in the aftermath she was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Other questions will be centered around Bobbi Kristina’s father Bobby Brown. What was the real reason Bobby Brown left the funeral? Many blame him for Houston’s alcohol and drug problems in the years prior to her death, and he sparked further controversy when he stormed out of the televised funeral service after just 20 minutes. He later released a statement complaining at how he and his guests were treated. He argued that they had been asked to move numerous times by the security at the funeral. However, other reports have said that Brown turned up with as many as nine guests even though his invitation only allowed two.
At the time of Houston’s death she was attempting to make a personal and professional comeback. She had completed filming new movie “Sparkle,” which also stars Jordin Sparks, and was due to release new music in the near future. However, since her death the singer’s songs have had a huge resurgence in sales, with more than 1 million of her albums and singles selling since her passing.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Oprah also landed the first Bobby Brown interview since Whitney’s death as well.
