The tragic, if not surprising death of Whitney Houston from a drug overdose has got to be a wake-up call for all of us. I have long espoused that celebrities should not be role models. Nevertheless, given Americas and the planets adoration of celebrities, they are in fact role models.
Whitney Houston now needs to be a model of what drug addiction can do to a person. A greater God-given talent I have never heard. Yet her time to shine was relatively short. Much of that time in the spotlight was spent drug addled and sick. Her death a lesson to everyone that drugs kill!
Sober in 2010, the singer who passed away at age 48 died addicted to a plethora of drugs.
A friend of Whitney’s claims the singer would spend thousands of dollars a week buying drugs and stockpile it in the house so she wouldn’t run out. This as reported in Fox News.
Like many families, Houston’s feared the embarrassment of intervention and ultimately it was too late.
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston are two sad stories about celebrity drug addiction. It seems like their daughter is well on her way too. For Bobbi Kristina’s sake I would like to see Brown lead by example. He should take a drug class, get sober and then get his daughter into an online drug class.
