Oprah Winfrey told an audience that Whitney Houston tumbled off the stage during a 2009 interview on her show. She urged Houston not to leak the incident. The remark was made during her appearance at the Cannes Lions festival, where she promoted her LionHeart brand. Houston’s estate released a statement calling the claim inaccurate and unfair, asserting the singer did not relapse into drug use. A close family member also defended Houston, refuting the claims on the same day. The dispute heightens strain as the estate prepares upcoming releases.
