People may laugh at this but the video is truly sad. She was trying to defend herself but she really needed help. We lost such an amazing women and this video is just heartbreaking to watch.
You can see it as heartbreaking if you want, I choose to see this as her being her passionate self and it's hilarious. She spoke bravely, defended herself, and actually made Dianne look like the fool with time and some basic drug education. Asking a famous person, especially a black singer, if they do crack is actually pretty damn offensive. Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon are why crack affected black Americans so badly. This isn't a conspiracy either, this is all proven stuff. "Drug dealers buy Jordans, crackheads buy crack , And a white man get paid off of all of that". Whitney Houston was an incredibly successful woman who probably did more with her life than most people can ever say. I think she lived it to the fullest. Sad she died so soon, but this video actually makes me happy. Reminds me of how sharp she used to be in interviews, she called Dianne out and made her look like the fool!
I remember being in high school, and everyone including me was quoting and mocking this interview, now years later knowing how this story all ended, it's haunting.
Matt Lauer, Diane Sawyer, Martin Bashir and Jian Ghomeshi should be ashamed for what they did to MJ, Billy Bob Thornton, Princess Diana, Britney and Whitney. Period.

first of all, lets get one thing straight. mcdonalds is cheap. i make too much money to ever eat mcdonalds. LETS GET THAT STRAIGHT. ok? we don't do mcdonalds. we don't do that. mcdonalds is wack.
When they did the autopsy for Whitney, it revealed her throat was relatively fine: it was her lungs that were horribly damaged from the crack. It wasn't even that she couldn't sing, she literally couldn't breathe properly anymore.
Something can be sad and hilarious at the same time. Yes, Whitney was in a very bad space during this interview but, my goodness, her attitude and comebacks were gold. She was so witty...and high. 😭😭😂😂

Amazing example of the various defense mechanisms of a person in active addiction. So sad to see. Been there done that. Not today though thank God. RIP Whitney
flemwad only God’s grace can save us. Nothing else. I wish Whitney could have been able to talk to Chaka Khan or Natalie Cole about recovery and get well. Her fragility here is so touching.
Of course she's being defensive. She's on TV. The public has know right to know what's going on in her life especially if it's as personal as addiction
Usually your addiction gets a hold of you before you even get a REMOTE chance to deny its existence. So the first step to addiction is not taking drugs, nor denying over usage of substances, but actually starting to rely on the drugs to...well, be.
That’s a myth that actually hurts a lot of people. Many, if not most addicts can acknowledge their problem. They probably wont want to talk about it with everyfuckingbody though.
@@Timbales1979 she died because of people like Diane, their nosiness and judgement. Had she had a solid support system around her and gotten consistent therapy, things would've turned out differently.
@@Andrea-wk9ws I dont know where youre living that crack is cheap! I got a considerable amount of money a few days ago and its pretty much all gone due to wasting on this crap, which i was determined to try since its pretty much the only drug i hadnt tried at this point. Thankfully I feel at this point I could take it or leave it and I dont plan on taking any more of it unless some other gullible sod is paying. Im in Scotland though and here we get like 2 pipes for 10 pounds, which isnt a lot imo. Especially since ive noticed that when you buy it, you have to square up whoevers there and damn near everyone around you wants a pipe too and i ended up with a bunch of people borrowing money from me for crack who now will no doubt never pay me back but at the time I was feeling rather cheery and generous. I dont think its a drug id have enjoyed much alone either and the circle of people i met while buying this shite all appear to be permanently poor or stealing to fund their habit on this. Too dangerous for me to fuck around with this much again, gotta watch out when you have an addictive personality. The one thing that will keep me off this in particular will be not wanting to be in contact with those types of people again.
I can see how everybody laughs at this: - "Whitney: Do you really know? - Diane: No, you do"... To me, that phrase spoke volumes. Whitney was clearly trying to tell Diane that things in the industry are way too dark behind curtains. I know she was doing drugs and crossing a bad stage in her life, but may you wonder why? Only Lord knows why. Believe it or not, the music industry is an evil place. Everything shines, but behind the curtains, there is a spooky side.
That applies to everything. Not an excuse to willingly fall prey to it. Whitney had a lot of family already in the industry that could have guided and shown her the ropes. She made her bed and laid in it. The industry is the industry, she is who she is. Stop making excuses for her addiction, it's because of "sympathizers" like you that million stay in the shadow. Enablers.
Honestly. Addicts are not bad people just for being addicts. Even if they're in denial about it. Dianne wasn't doing her any good by trying to get her to admit it, she obviously just wanted a good headline and some money. The same reason Whitney did this interview! She was a smart women and was playing by the games. All she had to do was sit on a chair and talk to some bitch, she didn't have to admit shit
That's right, it's not fair to judge Whitney or other addicts because of their addiction problems. Because addictions are off of serious issues and it's diseased and even genetic in some cases.
actually some drug addicts especially family are the fucking scum of the earth after all you do to help them they still go ahead and try to kill u or rob you so yeah they are not bad people they chose the drugs there is no such thing as genetic addict my father was an abusive alcoholic but it doesn't mean i am one i chose not to be like that bastard
@ Sheila Nistor yeah that is true. But jamie lee is right, addicts arent bad JUST for being addicts. But when they display behaviour like you described, yes they are being bad. When they lie and try to belittle other addicts (or people in general) with comments like "i make WAY to much money to do crack".. then yes, they are being bad fucking people
LoL these people talking about addicts aren't bad people. An "addict" doesn't only get high when they're without their children being present. Children pickup on it.
Being addicted to cocaine is classy now? Damn, just because she’s dead doesn’t mean that now everything that she ever did was perfect in every way. It’s not classy, it’s sad.
Whitney Houston Fan Việt Nam I’m not even sure that you understand what I was trying to say. I’m not discrediting all of the people that she helped and inspired, or how beautiful her voice was, or how incredible of a performer that she was. All that I am saying is that she is human just like everyone else, so not every single aspect of her life is something that we should look up to and admire. Watching someone deny their drug abuse problems isn’t “cool” or “classy” just because it’s someone that you admire or because the person has passed away. We shouldn’t be glamorizing issues that are so hurtful and damaging to people.
Her exact words were, "Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack... Let's get that straight, ok? We don't do crack. 'Crack is wack'." While people tend to mock that line, the truth is that she was defending herself against the stigma that all black drug addicts are crackheads. In American culture, "cocaine" is glamorized as a drug of choice for the wealthy elite, while crack is dirt cheap, nasty, and only used by poor black people in the "inner city". She admitted to using marijuana, cocaine, prescription drugs, and alcohol. I've said this before, but it bears repeating. Whitney was going through it, but the media was relentless. Her talents were exploited, her privacy was hijacked, and to top it off, she was still being punished for being a successful black woman. The WORST part is that, even in death, people still choose to bring her down with the stigma of "crackhead" while people like Robin Williams are mourned as angels despite lifelong addictions.
The 2000’s was the decade where we ran our troubled legends into the ground in the name of tabloid headlines, webmag clicks, and reality TV show teasers. If only we had the knowledge we did now. Such a shame…
Clownery at it’s finest it’s ok to be skinny. I was shamed for that my whole life. Until i started to actually like it now when im 25. And i know if I’ll live until 50 that’s when i will start getting fat. It’s hormones. Just some people don’t understand that someone is genetically skinny because they’re all fat.
@@nayamun4378 um...no. people definitely noticed that Whitney was much thinner than before. It has nothing to do with being born skinny. She obviously had a drug problem and lost a lot of weight due to that.
Ah man listen to her breathe and her voice is barely there....she sounds horrible talking but even though she lost pretty much all her vocal range she still sang better than 99% of female singers today.
Sure did. That was greatness of Whitney Houston. She can really adapt to capability of her voice. If she would took the proper measure to heal her body she would of still been a great singer today.
Whitney sounded fine if you seen her older videos of her when she was young she always spoke this way as in soft spoken and raspy at moments she don’t sound horrible at all but what do you expect from an artist who sings the way she did back then ? Even if drugs did have a part her singing was damaging her voice i sing and I can hit whistle register and when I hit notes a lot my voice acts the same way lol I’m not on drugs same thing when sza had to stop singing cause of her voice cracking
In some cases is passed on through parents, but most cases turn into addiction from losing control after starting. To start doing drugs is a decision, not a disease.
Luxe Honey the only one arguing is you. Thats what I said. To start is a choice, then it becomes the disease we know. So is kind of like if I would go and have unprotected sex and catch hiv. I have a disease, but it is in big part my responsibility. I think we should hold drugatics a bit more accountable than just feeling sorry for themselves cause its a disease. I mean, unless the person is a drug addict cause of tough luck in life.
Marcos Del Valle well, a lot of them are initiated as children but rich white people don't care about dehumanising anyone so long as they get theirs. Children don't make a choice to become addicts as adults. In foster care, on the streets... It's often how it starts. HIV can also be passed on genetically. And condoms aren't effective 100% of the time, so you can wear one and still get it
It’s so tragic what happened to her, she was an incredibly gifted and intelligent woman , I’m thankful I was around at a time she shared her gift with the world, she really was The Voice, RIP with the angels Whitney x
You guys praising her for dodging the questions and saying "crack is whack" when she literally died with cocaine in her system? Don't bash Diane Sawyer when she had every right to be concerned.
+Lie Away i love your name lie away because that's all you're doing in lying, cocaine is not the same as crack in her interview with oprah she said she uses cocaine to base her weed, and she never lied she didn't smoke crack only tge purest cocaine
Whitney Houston will always be one of my favourite vocalists ever 💖 A true legend, the most shining star in the history of music 🌟 But it was absolutely heart wrenching what happened to her 💔 Addictions can be overcome, sometimes it can't 😭
Crack is a small amount of cocaine cut with baking soda...it’s considered very cheap...which is why it was/is very prevalent in low income communities and affected the black community the most...most users with money use pure cocaine...you get a much purer product and get way higher....we could also get into a systematic racism topic with crack/coke...basically you get double if not triple the time if you’re caught with crack vs cocaine...even though you are more likely to od on cocaine vs crack...I wonder why? 🤔🤔
@@pierrejohnson1545 You right. Also I can't believe how dumb the responders are. Why be dumb forever when you can literally search history in 5 seconds nowadays.

She was unhappy because of the dark industry... when she asks Dianne "do you really know? Do you really know?" it was because Whitney was playing it honest like "don't pretend that you don't know how things really are in this business"..
Whitney is the only celebrity I've truly felt sorry for. I feel so bad that she had to go through drugs and lose her voice. It was painful to see her so spent in the later years.
+Julius La Mar ...check the comment again, it says "in this interview" cause if you haven't watched it yet, you should, Whitney didn't care about leaving a good image to Diane so her uninterested answers were funny, tumblr is full of gifs with Whitney's comebacks to Diane in this interview.
What others do shouldn't affect what you do UNLESS it's a classic case of common sense. You're jist impersonating a woman being proud of her druggie lifestyle, either you like it or you don't.
"No? What is it? Diane, tell me. Do you know?" she looked very dark in that moment lol i can definitely believe that she has a completely different side that no one ever saw.

actually some drug addicts especially family are the fucking scum of the earth after all you do to help them they still go ahead and try to kill u or rob you so yeah they are not bad people they chose the drugs there is no such thing as genetic addict my father was an abusive alcoholic but it doesn't mean i am one i chose not to be like that bastard
@ Sheila Nistor
yeah that is true.
But jamie lee is right, addicts arent bad JUST for being addicts. But when they display behaviour like you described, yes they are being bad. When they lie and try to belittle other addicts (or people in general) with comments like "i make WAY to much money to do crack".. then yes, they are being bad fucking people
LoL these people talking about addicts aren't bad people. An "addict" doesn't only get high when they're without their children being present. Children pickup on it.
anybody else here after the scene from the Bobby Brown special 😂😂😂
ThePrettygurl233 me too
What Happened in that scene?
youalwaysliveagain Bobby got mad at Whitney for saying “crack is whack” and doing a interview without him knowing.
Her voice was already destroyed here so she had no way back.
That’s fucking HURTFUL to hear her sound like that
Her voice is definitely not ruined, her personal habits needed to change. Most singers shove it up their trumpet.
AND she was having breathing problems. But she smoked all kinds of things. It wasn't just crack.
How on earth Diane Sawyer is allowed to take such kind of embarrassing interviews including Whitney, Michael Jackson and Britney Spears.
These celebs choose to do this interviews for the $$ with the promise that they can clear their name.
Matt Lauer and David Letterman too.

"No, what is it diane? Tell me. Do you know?" lmaooo her smile.
"I can believe what you feel" SNAP SHADE
"That's not just thin." "No... what is it? ...Diane, tell me. >:)"
😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
when she said “first of all let’s get one thing straight” i got a little scared
“Do you _really_ know?”
“No, _you_ know!”
“Thank you. :D”
Whitney was gorgeous like a 20 year old in this. Fierce
a 20 year old?? lets not get carried away...
Honey she was like 38-39 in this.
Whitney always threw classy shade!
Being addicted to cocaine is classy now? Damn, just because she’s dead doesn’t mean that now everything that she ever did was perfect in every way. It’s not classy, it’s sad.
Whitney Houston Fan Việt Nam I’m not even sure that you understand what I was trying to say. I’m not discrediting all of the people that she helped and inspired, or how beautiful her voice was, or how incredible of a performer that she was. All that I am saying is that she is human just like everyone else, so not every single aspect of her life is something that we should look up to and admire. Watching someone deny their drug abuse problems isn’t “cool” or “classy” just because it’s someone that you admire or because the person has passed away. We shouldn’t be glamorizing issues that are so hurtful and damaging to people.
Yaya Yaya all the ole schoolers did
Classy ?! LOL! Nothing classy about a drug addict.
Whitney Houston Lives Why are you so fucking triggered that you feel the need to copy/paste this stupid comment everywhere?
Her exact words were, "Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack... Let's get that straight, ok? We don't do crack. 'Crack is wack'." While people tend to mock that line, the truth is that she was defending herself against the stigma that all black drug addicts are crackheads. In American culture, "cocaine" is glamorized as a drug of choice for the wealthy elite, while crack is dirt cheap, nasty, and only used by poor black people in the "inner city". She admitted to using marijuana, cocaine, prescription drugs, and alcohol. I've said this before, but it bears repeating. Whitney was going through it, but the media was relentless. Her talents were exploited, her privacy was hijacked, and to top it off, she was still being punished for being a successful black woman. The WORST part is that, even in death, people still choose to bring her down with the stigma of "crackhead" while people like Robin Williams are mourned as angels despite lifelong addictions.
The 2000’s was the decade where we ran our troubled legends into the ground in the name of tabloid headlines, webmag clicks, and reality TV show teasers. If only we had the knowledge we did now. Such a shame…
You’ve said it perfect! Right like compared today it’s sooo much different.. like if anyone tried this dehumanising technique it wouldn’t fly
“Scary thin” I look the same as Whitney size wise so that statement pissed me off
Clownery at it’s finest it’s ok to be skinny. I was shamed for that my whole life. Until i started to actually like it now when im 25. And i know if I’ll live until 50 that’s when i will start getting fat. It’s hormones. Just some people don’t understand that someone is genetically skinny because they’re all fat.
At least youre not a fat chick. No one likes fat chicks
@@nayamun4378 um...no. people definitely noticed that Whitney was much thinner than before. It has nothing to do with being born skinny. She obviously had a drug problem and lost a lot of weight due to that.
"That is because of drugs?", and the look in Whitney's eyes, as if she was going to cry, as if she realized something at that moment. Just my thought.
on point I was thinking the same. Addiction is a bitch and not something to mock
What are y'all talking bout? She didn't look like she's going to cry at that particular moment and I don't get what y'all are implying anyway?
Diane's look was like "Bitch, Please?"
They were trying to ruin her career. Diane Sawyer was on drugs
Ah man listen to her breathe and her voice is barely there....she sounds horrible talking but even though she lost pretty much all her vocal range she still sang better than 99% of female singers today.
You're Sweet for sure💯
Sure did. That was greatness of Whitney Houston. She can really adapt to capability of her voice. If she would took the proper measure to heal her body she would of still been a great singer today.
Whitney sounded fine if you seen her older videos of her when she was young she always spoke this way as in soft spoken and raspy at moments she don’t sound horrible at all but what do you expect from an artist who sings the way she did back then ? Even if drugs did have a part her singing was damaging her voice i sing and I can hit whistle register and when I hit notes a lot my voice acts the same way lol I’m not on drugs same thing when sza had to stop singing cause of her voice cracking
It's not fair to judge Whitney over her addictions because addictions are based off of serious issues and its diseased and even genetic in some cases.
In some cases is passed on through parents, but most cases turn into addiction from losing control after starting. To start doing drugs is a decision, not a disease.
Marcos Del Valle not this ignorant ass argument again 🤦🏻♀️ drug addiction may begin with a bad choice but it is in fact, a disease.
Luxe Honey the only one arguing is you. Thats what I said. To start is a choice, then it becomes the disease we know. So is kind of like if I would go and have unprotected sex and catch hiv. I have a disease, but it is in big part my responsibility. I think we should hold drugatics a bit more accountable than just feeling sorry for themselves cause its a disease. I mean, unless the person is a drug addict cause of tough luck in life.
Marcos Del Valle well, a lot of them are initiated as children but rich white people don't care about dehumanising anyone so long as they get theirs. Children don't make a choice to become addicts as adults. In foster care, on the streets... It's often how it starts. HIV can also be passed on genetically. And condoms aren't effective 100% of the time, so you can wear one and still get it
@@mdelvalle2456 you know you get diseases from making bad decisions right?
The media posted this clip literally the day after Whitney passed away. The disrespect is real.
Whitney is absolutely stunning.
It's so sad what happened with Whitney :'( However her music is immortal.
"Whitney dying, crack rehab fails" LMFAO
If she was a regular woman in this interview she would be considered delusional and a liar while Whitney is called a savage because she's a celebrity.
It’s so tragic what happened to her, she was an incredibly gifted and intelligent woman , I’m thankful I was around at a time she shared her gift with the world, she really was The Voice, RIP with the angels Whitney x
The fact that this was 20 years ago...
Her voice was ruined
no it wasnt bish be quiet
You're a piece of shit.
the drugs does ruin your voice especially after long term use also not taking care your voice if your a singer also does that
Indeed. inhaling vapourised base cocaine (smoking crack, despite what she says) takes a terrible toll on vocal cords
Baine Glondeck the autopsy said her chords were great it was her lungs
What i always admired about Whitney even through her struggles, she always handled people like Diane & Wendy Williams very well
This interview never gets old.....I love the denial from Whitney's part
It's hard to see this legendary singer and kind person struggle like this.
Mental health shaming was all the rage in the 90's .... Su glad we're moving past that
This is hilarious and depressing at the same time
I've never been so emotionally conflicted
"No... Bobby... It's not like that BOBBAAAAAAYYY!!!!"
“SIT DOWN MS. HOUSTON!...”
You guys praising her for dodging the questions and saying "crack is whack" when she literally died with cocaine in her system? Don't bash Diane Sawyer when she had every right to be concerned.
actually she didn't overdose she drowned after falling asleep in the tub after using cocaine and xanax
kenny walden that sounds just as bad
+Lie Away its awful she died but, to say she overdose is worse, thats an insult
kenny walden She died because of crack, thats all needed to know for people to realize that Whitney wasn't honest in this interview.
+Lie Away i love your name lie away because that's all you're doing in lying, cocaine is not the same as crack in her interview with oprah she said she uses cocaine to base her weed, and she never lied she didn't smoke crack only tge purest cocaine
It’s the “Diane tell me” for me
Whitney Houston will always be one of my favourite vocalists ever 💖 A true legend, the most shining star in the history of music 🌟 But it was absolutely heart wrenching what happened to her 💔 Addictions can be overcome, sometimes it can't 😭
THIS IS SO AWKWARD BUT WHITNEY IS A LEGEND THO
So... what ?? (and a Legend to who ??) That excuses this behaviour...
"First of all crack is cheap, i make too much money to smoke crack" 💀
Whitney was stressed and going through things. 😩 this interview showed she needed help
“I make too much money to ever smoke crack...”
Translation:
“I smoke crack. In fact, I smoke a lot of crack.”
Sounds like you didn’t watch the clip she said she didn’t do crack . But she snorted a lot of cocaine though.
Crack is a small amount of cocaine cut with baking soda...it’s considered very cheap...which is why it was/is very prevalent in low income communities and affected the black community the most...most users with money use pure cocaine...you get a much purer product and get way higher....we could also get into a systematic racism topic with crack/coke...basically you get double if not triple the time if you’re caught with crack vs cocaine...even though you are more likely to od on cocaine vs crack...I wonder why? 🤔🤔
kjh 1 I’m dumb because I bring up facts...look it up for yourself saweetie
@@pierrejohnson1545 you are dumb.
@@pierrejohnson1545 You right. Also I can't believe how dumb the responders are. Why be dumb forever when you can literally search history in 5 seconds nowadays.
If only Robyn were still in her life.
Rest on Queen Whitney. Rest on. We will see u on the other side. You will always have the best voice that graced the 🌏.
Putting all issues aside... Whitney was a great singer and beautiful woman. She is a legend 👑
This is a mind, body and soul in a lot of emotional pain... Addiction is cunning, baffling and powerful! May this one winged, beYOUtiful angel rest in peace!
diane finally getting dragged for being a weirdo >>>
She did nothing wrong honestly. She was just a victim of drug addiction.
She was unhappy because of the dark industry... when she asks Dianne "do you really know? Do you really know?" it was because Whitney was playing it honest like "don't pretend that you don't know how things really are in this business"..
Bobby Brown Story brought me here.
1:08 The minute she pulled that coffee mug out, it got real.
Whitney: “Let’s get one thing straight”
Me: ANDAOOP🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
“No? What is it 📄 😏 Diane, tell me..do you know?”
That part always get me 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭
Whitney is the only celebrity I've truly felt sorry for. I feel so bad that she had to go through drugs and lose her voice. It was painful to see her so spent in the later years.
I love how Whitney had so much sas and attitude without really showing it in a way, like the way she puts it out is smooth.
That’s how shade is suppose to be done. Very subtle. Very nice nasty.
She was very quick-witted, listen to the Wendy Williams interview
Whitney was NO joke she would take all of Newark and whoop your ass. R.I.P to the legendary Whitney Elizabeth Houston
Such a beautiful woman, voice of an angel. Her story makes me so sad.
Her spirit is very strong . Long live the queen .
show me the receipts.
I often make impressions of Whitney in this interview. I don't think I'm in the wrong cuz people always laugh them asses off.
you are wrong. belittling a dead person just to make people laugh smh
+Julius La Mar ...check the comment again, it says "in this interview" cause if you haven't watched it yet, you should, Whitney didn't care about leaving a good image to Diane so her uninterested answers were funny, tumblr is full of gifs with Whitney's comebacks to Diane in this interview.
What others do shouldn't affect what you do UNLESS it's a classic case of common sense. You're jist impersonating a woman being proud of her druggie lifestyle, either you like it or you don't.
Stop being such a Mosca Muerta! 😂
There were times that Diane's face said it all.
"What is it? Diane...tell me...do you know?" LMAO!!!!! All I can think of is Debra Wilson's SUPERB Whitney impersonation/parody on MADTV
I love Whitney’s voice. She just has the most beautiful sexiest voice ever when she is talking
You with how raspy its become?
It makes me sad to see how my idols downfall came about :(
She was already on a downfall before this interview. That's why this interview happened.
"No? What is it? Diane, tell me. Do you know?" she looked very dark in that moment lol i can definitely believe that she has a completely different side that no one ever saw.
I miss her😩
You notice when drugs were mentioned she blinks her eyes a lot
Whitney, i hope your soul is on a guided path that few may find better. such a beautiful soul. you touched so many. even today, that VOICE still reverberates
