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!

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!

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.

Cissy Houston that's who.

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.

I agree with the general consensus that Pat is NOT to be trusted. Whitney didn't have the best supporting system behind her when it came to her rehab. 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.

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.

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!

For the posters who said why is Monique Houston talking now, maybe because she can. Think about in your own family, sometimes closets are locked until someone passes away? 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.

She's so beautiful. How did he leave her that big headed Pat. It's scandalous.

Monique was right and what she was saying was very pertinent, considering what happened to Bobbi Kristina Brown. They should have been listening and attempting to break the cycle. Nick should probably be brought up on charges for her death, but the family could have handled it better. Like number one - don't put a young girl freshly dealing with grief on Oprah after only one month of losing her mother. And the reality show - well we all know.

You are right about both...the reality show idea was too soon for her...Oprah interviewing her so soon.could have waited three months or longer...I felt like with the reality show...Where people waiting for her to breakdown with Grief. Every Episode. They did get paid to do it. But.I think that should have been her bonding time with her dad. He wanted to spend time with her..Both Father and Daughter were in Mourning and Grieving. She had Her Half Siblings.to connect with too. The reality show would have not have existed without her being apart of it..all it did was bring Her and Nick Closer Together...

We all know Oprah was in for the views. I also believe that whoever's killed Whitney killed Bobby Kristina. And Pat just wanted to get on TV

I find it soo sad that her children with Gary are never spoken of. Pat makes sure only her daughter is referenced to as Gary’s child. Even on Google they don’t list his other kids

Gary Garland is low class. Monique is a educated and sensible woman who is very beautiful and brave. Thank you for your concern.

Why did they let her go? She is badd!!! Level headed and strong. Stunning to say the least.

They didn't let her go...Pat the homewrecker showed up. This classy lady valued her children's lives first! And walked away from Gary's drug use and infidelity!!!

Great Interview...Spilled the 4- 1-1....makes sense. When is that brother gonna be Exposed"!! Whitney was only a payday for her brother & his wife"!! Sad truth"!!!?

I kind of wish she would have stayed with him only bcuz there would be no room for Pat, but i understand she had kids and herself to put first!!

its a good thing Monique Houston she did step away when she did cause she told the truth and they didn't like what she had to say, and they just blow things off.. and once Whitney passed it was too late.

I agree. Monique is one i believe in this. And there was no way the family could not have known. But at the end of the the day it still comes back to Whitney was the only one who was gonna clean herself up and chose not to. The addict will always find a way to use until they get really honest with themselves and she never reached that point.

Kudos to this wonderful human being who is intelligent enough to call drug addiction out for what it truly is. She took a stand and her former husband took a stand as well, at a great cost to his children. His current wife is now the executor of Whitney Houston's estate and Bobbi Kristina is dreaming about building a singing and acting career founded upon her mother's connections and celebrity. The family legacy is extremely sad and conscientiously objectionable.

The Jackson family was no Walt Dinsey family either.

Indeed

Pat loves the money and she loves the lifestyle being connected to Whitney affords her but this young doesn’t seem disillusioned by the celebrity of Whitney. She left her marriage when Whitney was at the height of her career so if she was in it for money and what she could get she would’ve stayed. It’s seems that he lost a good wife.

THE TRUTH IS TRUTH IT ABOUT GETTING HELP THANK YOU MONIQUE.

Why? Whitney barely acknowledged her kids from what she said in this interview. I'm not saying Whitney had to I'm just saying if there's no relationship there what can you expect.

Monique doesn't strike me as that kind of person, People like oh I don't know Tina Brown do (Bobby Browns sister who sold pictures of Whitneys and Bobbys Bathroom back in 2004) she does... but not this person she sounds very honest and sweet and has not gotten anything from Whitneys death lol....

Late coming, but this is a beautiful, intelligent lady.

I like Ms. Monique & she's very pretty too!

Listen to what she said . . . TALENTED PEOPLE, HOW ARE YOU TREATING YOUR CHILDREN YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WHEN YOU"RE NOT USING? Shes clearly also talking about Cissy as well. Cissy's cold to all their mates . . . Bobby Nick Gordon this woman except Pat. Perhaps Pat and Cissy Gary used drugs together? This lady obviously has not. ENABLING. shes saying . . . Ive heard that Cissy used drugs as well in a book by Kevin Hammonds. I think this lady is saying they all enabled her because they all used.

I wonder what she has to say now being that BK is dead due to all this mayhem she witnessed growing up. So sad, I never knew that Gary was previously married before forehead Pat H.

I remembered Whitney said she loved Monique little Gary.

Gary Houston is disgusting, not supporting his own children, and Cissy not keeping in touch with her grandchildren ... Speaks volumes about the HOUSTON CLAN !

Whitney Houston was never an addict. Whitney Houston died from cancer. Whitney's heart stopped beating. Whitney Houston kicked out the deadly nasty habits of smoking and those toxic relationships with tricked out blk males non committed healthy love. Whitney Houston is and was still stronger than many people who falsely believe that addiction can't be overcome. Always respected for strength Whitney Houston's legacy integrity is indestructible and will not be diminished by envy and neither lies.

I like her honesty. Whitney and those around her were a mess! Now she and Bobbi Kristina are gone. RIP.

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.
