TMZ • • general
Key Points:
- Oprah Winfrey revealed that she prevented photos of Whitney Houston falling off the stage while high on drugs from being leaked to the media, believing it would protect Whitney's life.
- The incident occurred during Whitney's last appearance on Oprah's show after she had relapsed, and Oprah asked the audience to keep it secret to avoid ruining Whitney's reputation.
- Despite cameras being present and pictures existing, none have ever been made public, a level of media control Oprah highlighted as unlikely today.
- Whitney Houston died in February 2012 at age 48 from accidental drowning, and while Oprah believes her intervention was a kindness, some speculate that public exposure might have prompted Whitney to seek help sooner.
