In an interview with The Today Show
yesterday, Cissy Houston
said she does not blame anyone for her daughter's death.
But Michael Houston taped an interview
with Oprah Winfrey this week and admits that he got Whitney started on crack
cocaine many, many years ago.
"You gotta understand at the time,
Michael says. "[It was] the 80s... it was acceptable."
Houston does not absolve himself of
playing a role in his sister's demise, though. It's clear the guilt is strong,
as he explains:
"It's painful... I feel responsible
for what I let go so far."
Whitney, of course, passed away in
Beverly Hills last February after a drug overdose that included cocaine, Xanax
and marijuana.
This episode of Oprah's Next Chapter
