On why Whitney Houson abused drugs
Halperin claims that Houston’s drug use was fueled by her struggles with her sexuality, citing sources that claim Houston may have been romantically tied to her longtime friend, Robyn Crawford, who was openly gay.
Although Houston denied the claims, her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, wrote in his memoir, “The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant. In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids.”
On what Halperin really thinks happened to Bobbi Kristina
Although some believe that Bobbi tried to commit suicide, Halperin claims that Bobbi likely overdosed on drugs and was subjected to what drug users call ‘the plunge,” an emergency practice in which an overdose victim is plunged into cold water and slapped repeatedly in an effort to revive them.
“He told me that when somebody ‘drops’ — a term meaning to OD — there are all kinds of ways to revive them,” Halperin says a local drug dealer told him. ” ‘‘I’ve never seen it done in a bath,’ he said to me, ‘but I sort of helped bring somebody around with a cold shower. You stick them under the cold water and you slap them to bring them around.’ ”
