“I can’t say that he introduced drugs to her; I don’t think that’s true.Bobby and I had a good relationship. She (Whitney) would say, ‘You’re always trying to protect him.’ I said, ‘No, I’m protecting truth… I can’t do it any other way,’” she told Oprah.
Houston’s longtime manager also shed light on the factors that may have doomed the troubled couple’s relationship from the star, “There was always so much outside interference… It was very hard,” she said. “Their reality was everyone else’s, and it’s very difficult if you’ve got family members that are demanding certain things from you, then the world demanding certain things from you. In all of that congestion, how can you make it work?”
Back to Bobbi Kristina who has inherited everything from her mother per her will, allegedly wants to change her name to Kristina Houston. Sources told TMZ, Bobbi “wanted to change her name for years since her parents split.”
