@blackentertainmentnews: Oprah Winfrey is opening up about one of the most memorable and emotional moments from her interviews with Whitney Houston. During a conversation at the Cannes Lions festival, Oprah discussed the influence of media and recalled her powerful sit-down with Whitney, revealing that the singer was sober during their famous interview. However, Oprah shared that during a later appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Whitney had relapsed and reportedly fell off the stage before a performance. Oprah said she leaned on the trust she had built with her audience and asked them not to release photos or footage of the incident, believing that public exposure at that moment could have caused even more harm to the legendary singer. The media icon used the story as an example of the responsibility that comes with having a platform and the importance of leading with compassion when telling someone else’s story. ❤️ • • • #whitneyhouston #oprahwinfrey #cannonevent #fyp #blackentertainmentnews
