Daytime talk show host and former drug addict Wendy Williams said she's disappointed in how Whitney Houston is talking about her drug problems.
Williams broke down crying Tuesday morning as she discussed Houston's interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired Monday and continues Tuesday on Winfrey's syndicated show.
"What I was looking for from Whitney was ownership, and I didn't see it," Williams told her audience. "But for me, no matter what she said in that interview, she didn't own her habit, she's still blaming [ex-husband] Bobby [Brown] and the world."
Houston, 46, told Winfrey that Brown was "her drug" and that she tried to save her marriage by bringing herself down and joining Brown in his drug habit.
"I never cheated, I never did any of that stuff. . . . I just did the drugs."
Houston said drugs masked the pain in their marriage.
"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't want no crack. We weren't buying, like, $20 jumbles. We were buying — paying money. We were buying, like, an ounce and ounce," Houston said.
"I know there are millions of addicts and ex-addicts, who still have that lore," Williams said. "It's been over 10 years at this point for me. And it's not something I'm ashamed of because its part of who I am today."
When sitting with Oprah, Houston tried to explain to the daytime host how she and Brown mixed cocaine with marijuana, something that Winfrey didn't quite understand.
"You put it in your marijuana. You lace it. You roll it up, and you smoke it in your weed," Houston said. "It's just another form. It's like — almost like heroin and cocaine speedballing, but you level it off with the marijuana, okay?"
Williams, who has detailed her drug issues in the past including in her book, which is being made into a film, jabbed Houston there, too.
"There's nothing worse than doing drugs, and cocaine was my choice of drugs," Williams said. "And on Oprah she was describing putting coke in weed like you're baking a cake. PS, its called a Woolie. I've smoked 'em, you've smoked them, the Wu-Tang clan has smoked them."
Williams said Houston was passing off the drug use as if she was a high-brow user.
"Oh no, no crack," Williams said, repeating Houston's claim. "Well, I smoked crack, I've hooked coke, I've sniffed it. And I'm sober as the day is long. I am very thankful for sobriety, and I own it.
"That's it Whitney," Williams continued. "I love you and I wish you well, but as an ex-offender, you didn't own it and I was really disappointed."
