Now that Whitney Houston has been laid to rest, it seems like everyone has something to say about the people she had in her circle, including Bobby Brown’s sister Leolah Brown who has been crying foul from the start. Leolah along with a few of Bobby Brown’s nephews went on Dr. Drew yesterday, right after Whitney’s autopsy reports hit the internet, and pointed the finger at everyone including Ray J who she claims was Whitney’s drug runner. She also claimed that Whitney would never get in a hotel bathtub and that is what made her question the story from the start while her nephews claimed that when they reached the hotel on the day that Whitney died that Pat and Gary Houston were busy carrying luggage and jewelry out of the room instead of consoling Bobby Kristina.
Read some of the excerpts from the show below
Leolah on Ray J:Those three said a mouthful and revealed some pretty heavy accusations. If it’s not true, they could be facing defamation of character lawsuits.
When I first saw the news, I saw Ray J coming out of the hotel hiding his head being pushed into the car. I looked and I said why is he hiding? Why is he hiding his face? He’s always trying to show his face when he’s around Whitney. Why now? Why are you trying to hide now Ray J? I put it all together; when I first heard she passed away I said, “My God, somebody gave hera bad bag.” [Cocaine?] Yes, thatwas the first thing that came out of my mouth and then I saw Ray J and it all added up. So I am going to believe that Ray J who Whitney told me she had no relationship with….. Nowthis is a young boy who’s running around telling people that he is a boyfriend of Whitney’s. I know clearly that hewasn’t. Hewas like she said, a runner boy. For some reason, he knows somebody that sells drugs and hewas buying them for Whitney for what I know and giving her drugs.
I want to know whythis boywas allowed to do that around Pat and around Gary. Around Pat mainly because you were with her all the time. For you to say that you don’t know what happened to her, I’m really disturbed by that.”
On if she personally knew Ray J
No I did not know Ray J but I can tell youthis…Ray J to me, I can tell you Whitney told me out of her own mouth that she never — Ray Jwas a — I asked Whitney. I said, ‘Whitney, what is Ray J to you?’ She laughed. She laughed so hard she almost fell out the chair. She said, ‘Nothing.’ She said, ‘Nothing at all.’ She said Ray Jwas a runner boy. I said a runner boy? She said that they were never together sothis stuff about Ray J…there’s a lot of games being played here with Ray J using Whitney’s name to say that he’s with Whitney Houston. That is — I doubt it very, very much.
Leolah on whether Whitneywas taking painkillers
I don’t know. That I don’t know of. I have no knowledge of her taking any pain pills. No. As far as I know of Whitneywas fine. Shewas fine. And another thing, Whitney did not get in bathtubs in hotels. Thatwas something that she and I talked about on many occasions. We used to laugh about it. Whitney would never get in a hotel bathtub. We talked and laughed about how we would never do that, so when I heard that shewas found in that bathtub I knew right then and there somethingwas wrong.
Pat On if anybody tried to help Whitney with her addiction
I don’t believe anybody tried to do that. Everybody says, “I love Whitney, I love Whitney but what did you try to do to try and help her?’ Did you allow these things to continue to come into her life? Did you allow these people to continue to give herthis? Were you one of the people giving these drugs to her? Answer these questions please.
Bobby Kristina’s Cousin Jerod on what he saw when he first reached the hotel
Well, when we first got to the hotel and the call Uncle B [Bobby Brown] told us to get to the hotel. Uncle Tommy went upstairs first because the whole hallwaywas blocked off by security. By the time we got up there, we got there about an hour later and a lot of chaoswas going on. We were still in the hallway; we spoke to the security, Ray. Ray came at us and spoke with us for a second andwas really in shock , you could see it in his eyes.
Jerod on When did they come in?
After we took Krissy to the hospital and came back. We heard Krissy go into a panic attack and medics came. I didn’t get to see her until we got to the hospital because they had the sheet over her when they were taking her out the hotel room. My uncle Tommywas really the orchestrator of the whole thing because they wanted to bring her down to the lobby but he got it to where itwas a secret location in the hotel. After that we went to the hospital. What bothered mewas when we got to the hospitalthis guy Nick, the guy Krissywas asking about the whole time during her grieving point.
Is he Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend?
I don’t really know but atthis moment when he got to the hospital after he spoke with Krissy in the room he left. He came back into the waiting room and said, “Thanks for you guys coming out,” as if we weren’t supposed to be there.
Jerod On what bothered him about Pat and Gary
When we came back from the hospital after I talked with Krissy in the room and we got her discharged. We went back to the hotel and Krissywas still in disbelief so she rushed down the hallway andwas like, “I want to go see Mom at her room.” We took her down there and by the time we got to the room Gary and Pat were coming out with luggage and jewelry. I remember Pat going across from Auntie Whitney’s room to another location, to another room. Krissy fell down to the ground and me, my brother my fellow cousin and my uncle we looked and sort of confided in her but Gary just kept rolling along with the luggage. It kind of bothered me because as your niece [he should’ve been paying attention to Krissy.]
Leolah On how Pat Houston first came into the picture and became close with Whitney
I really don’t know. I’m hearing from family members that shewas somebody thatwas I guess a fan of Whitney’s and shewas a singer. Shewas looking for a record deal or something and shewas trying to sing. I don’t know if she had a group or shewas solo but I guess shewas introduced to Gary in some way that he could help her with her career or something.This is what I heard and she came in and manipulated Gary and his wife because hewas married to Monique. From what I heard itwas like a lot of sneaky stuff going on with her.
Bobbi Kristina’s cousin Kelsey on if Pat Houston is manipulating Bobbi Kristina
Certain individuals, I’m not sure is manipulating the press and saying all these things and putting these things about Krissy in the paper to try to make Krissy seem as if she’s crazy in effort to obtain guardianship over Krissy. I signed papers for Krissy a long time ago and Whitney’s attorneys’, Patwas present whenthis happened; I signed papers as Krissy’s legal guardian. Whitneywas there; Whitney gave me legal guardianship over Krissy. Her attorney stated that I would have to resign to give her back to Whitney for guardianship but we never did that.
Do you know anything about Nick? What is their relationship?
Jairam: He came in as a brother, you know, but I guess now it ended up he’s trying to be a boyfriend. Which I feel like, he doesn’t have trued feeling for Krissy. I think he’s up to something. I think most of the people around Krissy are up to something.
Two brief sidenotes: Therewas a photo published of Whitney on a gurney being taken out of the hotel room with a sheet covering her. According to Bobbi Kristina’s cousin’s story and an article in Forbes, the photo sold to TMZwas a fake photo and itwas actually Bobbi Kristina being taken out of the hotel.
Also Leolahwas not at the hotel the day that Whitney passed. The video that she referenced that she saw on the news of Ray J leaving the hotel with his face covered can be viewed here
