Oprah Discusses Whitney Houston’s Stage Fall After Relapse

Oprah Winfrey has shared new information about Whitney Houston’s last years. She revealed that Houston fell off the stage during a taping of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2009. Winfrey spoke about this incident at the Cannes Lions event, where she received the LionHeart Award. The fall happened after Houston, who had a long struggle with drug addiction, relapsed.

Winfrey said, “Whitney did, I think, what was her last show with us. She had gone back on drugs.” During her first interview with Houston, the singer was sober, but on the day of the performance, she was not and fell off the stage.

Winfrey acted quickly to keep this incident private, fearing it would harm Houston’s image. She urged the audience not to share photos of the fall. She said, “If that story got out… she would be destroyed.”

Houston appeared on the show to support her 2009 comeback album “I Look to You,” her first in seven years. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Sadly, Houston passed away in February 2012 at the age of 48.
