Bobbi Kristina Brown: Oprah Nabs 1st Interview With Whitney's Daughter

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Bobbi Kristina Brown will sit down with Oprah Winfrey for her first interview following the untimely death of her mother, Whitney Houston. The highly anticipated interview will air on Oprah’s OWN network on March 11th at 9pm.

With no excerpts released from the already completed interview with Bobbi Kristina Brown, her mother’s sister-in-law Patricia Houston and brother Gary Houston, Oprah reveals that the 18-year old shared “personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered.”

Whitney Houston: Her Life in Pictures

Whitney Houston was found unresponsive on February 11th in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel she was staying in hours before the annual pre-Grammy gala. Houston’s death has since been ruled an accident while the final toxicology report is underway.

Bobbi Kristina has become the center of media of attention from the stress of dealing with the tragedy, the relationship with her father Bobby Brown to taking control of her mother’s estate.

Before airing the interview, Oprah will re-air her 2009 special ‘Remembering Whitney: The Oprah Interview’ at 7pm. Oprah has a history of snagging high profile interviews and this one is no different – though the impact of the interview can greatly increase viewership for the struggling network.

What do you hope to hear from Bobbi Kristina’s interview with Oprah Winfrey?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
