  1. I think that only God can judge anyone. Who are we to accuse Whitney Houston of not Fully telling the truth. I think sometimes we are such big hypocrits.

  2. I agree with Wendy that Whitney was not as forthcoming as those whom never used may realize. When you truly surrender to using drugs you must be honest about your use and where it really took you. Saying she didn’t “smoke crack” is simply semantics. Placing cocaine in cigarettes or weed causes the same intense effect as smoking “crack”! Using drugs regardless of the form it’s in takes us all to the same place; DOWN!!! Those with money have the luxury of being disillusioned of their life’s reality since it can take them a long time to hit rock bottom but in time everyone hits a spiritual bottom as apparently Whitney did.

  3. Ok wow when people want to comment on a blog .. Can we say SPELL CHECK. Learn how to spell Whitney first of all before you try and come on blastin people. Get real chicka. Any who Wendy you don’t owe Whitney anything. If anything Whitney owes the public the apology for LYING about her crack habit. Crack is crack she smoked it. Rolled it on weed ok that’s just like a pipe. Smokin is smokin .. Wake up Whitney. Once you’re on crack you never get out. You just slow down a little. How can she blame Bobby. Bobby didn’t force a CRACK PIPE in her mouth. From watching their show Being Bobby Brown he seemed to have more sense than her. Who was taking care of their daughter when they were doing the drugs. If it was joe blow or anybody else in the world their child would have been taken away from them. I guess that’s the power of money. You can pay anybody to “look away” from you’re real issues. Sad.

  4. Ok People … Let’s get over the Drugs and Whitney. Wendy I don’t agree with you and I am sorry you really should not be so expressive pertaining to Whitney Houston in any type of negative manor. The Radio interview you did with Whitney Houston was ridiculous and rude . Not is it all over you tube … but come on. You will not get her on your show speaking about the negative. I am so over the negative comments LEAVE EHITNEY ALONE. I really love your show but you owe Whitney apologies

  5. I REALLY admire your confiding in all of us viewers/fans/”co-hosts”/the public your truth and experience. It was courageous and probably very helpful to a lot of people on a lot of different levels…THANK YOU for your truth and message!

  6. Wendy, it is so admirable and refreshing that a celebrity such as yourself can be as REAL as your are! I love that you spoke about Whitney and I get it now! You hit it on the head!!!! She has to take ownership!!! I also understand because I have a family member who is an addict and has been one for over 20 years. AND SHE TOO HAS NEVER OWNED HER DRUG ADDICTION! She has always placed blame everyone else for it!

    Thank you for being you and god bless your sobriety!!!! CUDOS!!!!

  7. hi wendy, love ur show.
    i saw the 1st part of whitney interview. my observation was that she is STILL on the stuff, it may be moderate, but she is still on it. a lot of people don’t know this, but back in the day(before bobby, way way back when) whitney was a big time partier, and i mean BIG. i know people that knew her and this was no saint.
    if u remember, she was engaged to a football player when she did a concert for the troops. she had on a big ol ring and was going around talking about how happy she was. then BOOM! like where did getting married to bobby come from. she is soooo ghetto, but has the world fooled because she uses RELIGION, her mom to back her up and a famous aunt (that was busted for smoking pot).
    as you stated, she needs to OWN up and stop blaming other people. she was dodging questions and it showed on Oprah’s face that she knew.
    the EYES that she said bobby was painting on the walls and doors, I DO THINK was hallucinations for heavy drug use.

    OWN UP, IT WILL SET YOUR SOUL AND SPRIT FREE, WHITNEY!!!!

  8. Hi Wendy,

    I saw the second half of the interview, It was so breath taking, to see Whitney as she was. But, Oprah is a very powerful woman, her spirt is irressible placeable. Whitney, got a second chance in life, what she do with her life is up to her and a power greater than her self.

    But, Wendy, I love your show so much, you are something else. That’s a good a thing. I love you so much, girl – how you doing!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Wendy, I commend you for your confession althought I have heard you admit this addiction to Whitney on the interview you had with her back in 2003. But you hit the nail on the head, Whitney did not own up to her addiction to CRACK. And that is what she needed to own up to and she did not. Whitney done lied to Oprah to her face and you can tell she did because she looked down when Oprah asked her if it was crack. You can also tell Oprah didn’t believe she was speaking the whole truth and I didn’t believe she spoke the whole truth, I believe she embelished the truths…. Congrats on your show, I love it, and I even love you more now that I can see you everyday on television. HOW YOU DOIN… (LOVE THAT) and Love watching you try and teach people, HILARIOUS!!!!

  10. Wendy I Respect You, And Love Your Show!

    Your REALNESS Is Infectious, It Had Allowed Me To Be Who I Am Regardless Of What Others Might Think. All The While Still Maintaining Respect And My Integrity…

    Its So Refreshing To Wake Up To Your Show Were You Can Get Away From Life’s Troubling Issues For Atleast 60 Minutes Out Of The Day…

    I Wont To Think You Again For Being YOU And Continuing To BAre It All Why Being YOURSELF! God Bless You Wendy

  11. wendy… you are the best!! I love your show because I feel I’m sitting down with a girlfriend… and today you made me love my girlfriend even more because of your honesty. You confided in your girlfriend today. Kudos to you, girlfriend!!

  12. Wendy excellent citation! I really appreciate your ability to “OWN” your past addiction…that is exactly what MORE of us need to do. Admit that we have/had a problem…that is the beginning or TRUE release from an addiciton ADMITTING! Thanks for your strength!

  13. Wendy…You hit it dead on! Whitney blamed Bobby for all of her problems which leads me to believe: 1) just like when Clive Davis first introduced Whitney-he polished her real good-so no one knew the real Whitney-I think he polished her again 20 she is in denial about her life-we are all responsible for our lives-the ups and the downs. Own it! Wendy, I appreciate your honesty-you are such a refreshing TV/radio personality ! I love your show! Thank you!

  14. Wendy,
    I love your strength. I agree with you about Whitney needing to own up to her mess. I tell my youth group every chance I get don’t blame others for what you do, and don’t let others guide your path for you. I think Whitney is in too deep, and the minute she gets away from her handlers she will be at it again. I had two parents that were addicts. You can’t make someone stop with any addictions, they have to be ready to admit their faults and do the work to maintain sobriety. No road is ever easy but I commend you for walking your road, and being so honest. Love you girl! Oh yeah and How you doin?

  15. Dear Wendy.

    You just go girl. I am so moved and touched by your REALNESS. You dont try to hide behind smoke and mirrors. You are Simply YOU. Wigs, Weight and All. (and you look fabulous by the way!) Love your show. And keep being the Wendy you are.

    Love ya Gurl

  16. Wendy rocks!! I’m not sure how I feel about her dissing Whitney as the path to her confessional about her own past addiction — everyone’s journey is different. I don’t know that Whitney didn’t own her problem, after all she did finally confess that there was an addiction and she explained in her words what led to it and why she feels she’s recovered. As the sibling of a lifetime drug abuser, I’m proud of them both for accepting at some point that they were in trouble and seeking help. Drug addiction steals not only the life of the abuser, but of those who care about them.

  17. Go Wendy!
    You are so REAL and that is such a welcomed change for me from all the other “who’s your baby daddy” stuff out there. I am so proud that You Own your stuff..the wigs, the weight issues, the addiction. You dont try to be fu fu la…you are simply real, and you are a bad sistah. Love u Love your show!

  18. I was shocked to see a tv celebrity such as you admit to the tv public that you had an addiction problem in your past. You set a good example for all recovering addicts. That takes courage and I commend you for it.

  19. Wendy,
    I didn’t watch the interview. I’ll catch it on YouTube if it lands. However, I have read comments from those who did watch. I watch your show and you are genuine. Regarding your reaction to Whitney’s interview I AGREE with you. She needs to own her addiction and her sobriety.

    Whitney has an ego larger than Shea stadium. She’s prideful. She’s delusional in her position that her addiction isn’t as bad as somebody who flips hamburgers for a living. She is still a victim of “stinking thinking” which. as you probably already know, can lead her high flying attitude busting butt right back into the throws of her disease.

    Through the observations of others it appears to me Whitney doesn’t yet have a handle on true sobriety. She is still gaming, manipulating and fronting. I have the sinking feeling she’s headed for the revolving door of addiction again. I also have the feeling it’s going to be soon. Those who think she’s 100% committed to sobriety better get a comfy seat because the ride ain’t over. Whitney failed to OWN her issues. That means Whitney is lying to herself and the rest of the world. Not a good sign of legitimate recovery. You know it and I know it.

    God bless you, Dear, for your honesty. I thoroughly enjoy your show and I wish you and Mr. Hunter continued success and happiness.

    BTW: I’m not an addict. My parents and the man I married was. I’ve lived and loved people whose addictions affected everyone around them including me from the tender age of two believe it or not. I’m 64 years old and I still deal with issues related to my loved one’s problems. I’m still here and I thank God for my survival. You’re still here, too. You’re a surviver and a solder. So am I. Great to see you pulling it together producing your show and living your OWN life. Jeannie

  20. Dear Wendy,
    I find you to be the most refreshing talk show host ever and I am now a fan for life. You are funny, smart and so painfully honest about yourself. I too am a recovering cocaine/freebase junkie (20 years) and think Whitney may never recover. She is in denial and won’t own it. Without that ability she will never let her addiction go. I know it and you know it and I think you cry for her and the suffering you know she is still in the midst of.
    Thank you for putting yourself out there and not being afraid to show the world who you are. We love you even though we don’t really know you.
    your fan,
    Becky
