Pop singer Whitney Houston appeared on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” Monday during  the first of a two-part interview.

She discussed her drug use, her marriage to ex-husband  Bobby Brown, the physical and emotional abuse, and how she fell in love with Brown. 

While I was watching the interview, I was surprised how open and honest Whitney was.  She didn’t sugarcoat anything.  She told the truth even if it made her look bad.
