In an emotional interview, Whitney Houston opened up to talk-show host Oprah Winfrey about a pivotal role her mother played in getting the singer back on track.
“Now looking at it, I see the love and passion that my mother had for me and she has for me,” Houston told Winfrey. “She says, ‘I have a court [injunction] here. Either you do it my way, or we’re just not going to do this at all. We are both going to go on TV, and you’re going to retire.’
Houston said her mother implored her to come with her, saying, “‘ It’s not worth it.’ ”
” ‘I’m not losing you to the world,’ ” Houston said her mother told her. ” ‘I’m not losing you to Satan. I’m not doing this. I want my daughter. I want you back. I want to see that glow in your eyes. That light in your eye.’ “”
The sit-down interview, set to air on Monday (September 14th). In the meantime, make sure to view Whitney’s new video for “I Look To You” here.
