Pat Houston REACTS to Oprah's Claims About Whitney Houston Relapse and Stage Fall (Exclusive)
Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law, Pat Houston — who now oversees the late singer’s estate — speaks exclusively with ET’s Kevin Frazier, pushing back on Oprah Winfrey’s bombshell claims at Cannes Lions. The talk show icon told a crowd at the annual festival, Whitney relapsed before performing on her show back in 2009, resulting in a fall off the stage, which Oprah pleaded with the audience to keep a secret… until now. Prior to this chat, Pat fired back online, writing to fans that Whitney’s stumble was during a sound check and had nothing to do with her addiction battle; instead, Pat blames the literal misstep on bad lighting. She says she’s only engaging in this back and forth to protect her late sister-in-law’s legacy, noting if Whitney had been high during the performance, she would be the first to say so.

Oprah, and Pat can kick rocks, at the same exact time!! Sickening to hear this (bs) after she’s deceased. Oprah can’t be broke, not sure about Pat🤷. Lets discuss 2026 issues🤦
Y’all are absolutely wrong. A) It was not a secret that Whitney struggled with abuse then or now; 2) the Point of the story is how much her audience respected Whitney’s privacy and today a video would have been posted on TikTok in a Ny minute.
People that know Whitney know that on that day she was not high. We know when people are high when they’re not it was always obvious.
Pat will you please produce a DVD of Whitney Houston’s South Africa Tour? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🫶🏽
Oprah is picking off the bones of people that aren’t here to defend themselves. Pathetic.
