Pat Houston’s Deceptive Body Language About Whitney’s Drugs – Did Death Due to ” Chasing A Dream” Refer to Whitney’s Romance With Younger Man?

Sunday, March 25th, 2012

During the Oprah interview , it was very clear to me that Pat Houston’s body language showed a lot of signals that did not match her words.  One of the most disconcerting things we heard was how she tried to blame outside influences for the demise of Whitney and Bobby Brown’s marriage and minimize their issues. Above we see her with cocked head, body pulled back and a monotone breathy voice which may very well indicate signals of deception as she speaks. Throughout the interview her body language and voice showed that she was very guarded in what she said,

Now that we have come to find out that Whitney Houston’s death was the result of drowning suggesting  a heart attack was most likely triggered by cocaine, thereby causing  her to  drown in her bathtub.

Her sister in law, Pat Houston  is the  second wife of Gary Houston who was arrested  in 1996 for possession of crack cocaine.  Right after Whitney’s death, Pat  went to court and had herself named executor, replacing the assigned executor of Whitney’s estate.  Now it makes a lot more sense as to why she may have shown signals of deception. She clearly has Whitney’s image to protect especially since the estate is currently making   more money from Houston’s songs than when Whitney was alive.

When Oprah asked Pat point blank Was drugs an issue for her before her death?

Pat Houston replied “ I don’t think drugs were an issue for her before her death…High, absolutely not. Leading up [to her death]? I would say no.

In analyzing her statement we can see signals of deception here. She gives too much information as she volunteers “High, absolutely not.” She also speaks in fragments Leading up? Also look at the words leading up. Oprah asks if drugs were an issue before her death but Pat get specific and volunteers a more specific time line  by  using the term  leading up as oppose to using before.

How could she says he was so close to Whitney and be her manager and closest confidant and not know she wasn’t doing drugs when acute use of cocaine,  as well as marijuana, Flexeril, and Xanax were discovered in her system.

WAS THE DREAM SHE WAS CHASING RAY J


Pat  was deceptive when she told Oprah that it wasn’t drugs that killed Whitney but that she  was “She was chasing a dream.”Perhaps that is true as she did not show signs of deception s she made this statement. She spoke clearly and directly.

Perhaps she was referring to chasing the dream as Whitney’s having  a serious relationship with  younger man Ray J  Brandy’s brother and  Kim Kardashian sex tape partner, and seeing Whitney’s   confrontation with the  X Factor contestant  over Ray J.

When this was going on we see photos of Pat Houston on TMZ looking very upset and annoyed as she even admits to Oprah she was mad. Yet she doesn’t explain what she was mad.  As part of her entourage and Whitney’s team, it seems she was mad that the X Factor star was allegedly  having designs on Whitney’s man and causing Whitney to get so upset in public.

Did Whitney indirectly die of a broken heart by  trying to feel  good and  numb her emotional pain after realizing that her man may  possibly have not have been being faithful to her? It sounds as though Pat believes this is the case based on her statement about Whitney chasing a dream. All of Whitney’s dreams came true with fame and fortune. So what was left was the dream of love which she may have though she found with Ray J.

Apparently, according to sources,  Whitney had been doing very well and was drug free  when she worked  the  film “Sparkle” after doing intensive rehab with Warren Boyd.There were three months between when  the filming “Sparkle” ended and when she died.

She clearly relapsed. Surely Pat Houston, her alleged close confidant must  have known this but chose not to  share it with Oprah during the interview.

It may be that Pat has attributed Whitney’s search for the “impossible dream” with a younger man as the underlying  cause for her death and not the cocaine.

While Ray J has vehemently denied doing drugs with Whitney. But maybe  Ray J’s presence in her life was the catalyst for her relapse. Maybe that fateful night when she ran into the woman she believed was flirting with Ray J caused her heart to break . Maybe that drover her over the edge towards self destruction.

My only hope is that  Pat does not engage in denial with Bobbie Kristina  and gets her the help she needs, especially now that she is the executor of  Whitney’s estate.

Bobbi Kristina’s Body Language Shows Neediness In PDA With Nick Gordon

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

News has broken that Bobbi Kristina, Whitney’s  biological daughter has hooked up with her “adopted” brother ,whom Whitney raised as a child. Apparently now they are engaged to be married. This is a very very bad idea in my view on a number of levels. For one, Bobbi is still in her mourning phase and cannot possibly make rational life decisions at this point on her life.

It is understandable that she is lonely and confused and scared  and very needy at this juncture in her life. She is so needy that she has sought comfort in the arms of her “brudder” as she calls him- Nick Gordon. Apparently, they share a bed together as she revealed on twitter.

Video was released on TMZ which shows the two of them together. What struck me body language wise, was just how physically needy she appeared to be in making the first gestures for Nick’s affection.

Her we see how Bobbi reaches out and  grabs Nick  hand to hold.

Next we see how she pulls his hand  in order to  place it  in back of her

as she succeeds in  pulling his arm and hand all the way back so he essentially rests it on her lower back on her buttock.

She then pulls him closer to her body and reaches up to kiss him on the lips for all to see,  as they enter a store.

As they leave the store, she grabs a hold of his arm. It is not Nick that is reaching out to Bobbi Kristina,  but Bobbi reaching out to him.

These little body language nuances mean a lot when you look at her emotional state. She is literally reaching out to the closest person to her because she is so needy. This is very understandable in light of the tragic circumstances she has been under.

Her family is allegedly upset about this relationship because it has been reported that they believe he is  a bad influence on her.Others feel that their engagement is Nick’s insurance policy that he will get some money. If Nick was “adopted” by Whitney, it strikes  me as a bit odd that she would not have left some money for him in her will.

Suddenly Nick released a statement to ABCNews.com that he is not dating Bobbi Kristina as he says ”

“We’re just close — just going through her mom’s passing and grieving together,” he said.

But he has given double messages on twitter as he recently tweeted :

“Yeah, we got a little closer and what!!!”

That was followed by ”

All the haters that don’t know us or the real story can’t unfollow me. I don’t give a f**k.” “I’ve proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don’t owe any of you anything. Ha, I don’t even know y’all haters.”

“Some ppl [people] have no lives so they gotta be in ours,” he added as he made a point to say that he and Bobbi Kristina

are not related by blood as he tweeted

For the stupid ppl out there, she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

He added, “She called me her “God Son.” I swear some ppl in this world act like they don’t have a brain …”

Perhaps all the “haters”got to Nick,  as he may have called off their engagement or their public romance by announcing that he is not dating Bobbi Kristina. There is no doubt that he  had had second thoughts on the matter. Perhaps that is why he was not seen making the first moves in their (PDA) public displays of affection seen in the above photos.

THE  REVEALING OPRAH INTERVIEW

In looking back at the Oprah interview with Bobbi Kristina you could clearly see this young lady is so fragile and so much in denial. She is confused and scared and alone. She had no business doing that interview at this time in her life. It was ALL about Oprah and Oprah’s ratings for her network. It was NOT about Bobbi Kristina.If it has been about Bobbi Kristina she would not have been there for the interview. I felt that it was exploitative and very disturbing to watch.

When Bobbi Kristina enthusiastically told Oprah she was still had a voice and was going to  sing and act and dance Oprah was not supportive , and rightfully so. Short of telling Bobbi Kristina that  she was delusional, she said to her  that she was putting a lot of pressure on herself.

This reality check is not what Bobbi Kristina wanted or needed to hear during this extremely emotionally volatile time in her life.

As I said on ET,  Bobbi Kristina stood during the whole interview and fidgeted. It was clear that she did NOT want to be there.

CONCERN FOR BOBBI KRISTINA

I am very concerned about this young lady. She has no one to give her the right guidance. She is 19 and a very young 19 at that. She was sheltered and coddled and was never independent. She never had to go out and get a job and fend for herself.

Nick is only 22 and  since he was raised by Whitney, it is like the blind leading the blind(no offense to anyone who is blind). Bobbi Kristina is blinded by her pain and neediness and has reached out to someone who is just as needy and in pain for a number of reasons from having  biological father in prison to not being mentioned in Whitney’s will.

Even though Bobbi Kristina was “groomed” by Whitney to become a singer she is NOT Whitney.  Not to be mean, she does not have Whitney’s looks or extraordinary talent or charisma. She thinks she is Whitney as indicated in the Oprah interview when she revealed she “Still had a voice.” Someone needs to set this poor child straight or she will be setting herself up for more disappointment.

Hollywood is one of the cruelest places on earth and is NOT for the emotionally fragile. First, there  is a lot of  pressure to look a certain way. Not to be mean,  but Bobbi Kristina was not blessed with Whitney’s genetics, looks wise. She is not attractive enough and makeup won’t do the trick. She needs a makeover which includes a nose job and dental work to balance out her features and perhaps a breast enhancement. Like it or not, the reality is that this is Hollywood and there are certain requirements one has to have in the public eye if they are to make it as an entertainer. It is way too competitive and you have to look your best.

Next  you have to have the talent to carry off your desires to be a singer, actress or dancer.  At 19 Bobbi Kristina is old in terms of starting out in the business. She has not performed publicly yet . She has not performed in any little clubs to develop her chops. She has not enrolled in acting classes or done any local theatre to get her chops.

Following her mother around  may have given her a lot of insight in terms of what is required of a star but it will never make her a star.

Her cover of Adele’s song on youtube was sweet for an amateur,  but she needs a lot of work with breath control and phrasing and pitch levels.

Being a dancer is another huge undertaking where dance routines can be grueling. It requires a lot of  daily practice and dedication and athletic stamina. Dancing starts at an early age with lessons and classes  on a regular basis.

The bottom line is that unless someone takes her under her wing like a major manager who  has her best interests at heart and instills in her the discipline it takes to accomplish her goals, she is setting herself up for another major disappointment. Someone needs to watch over her that all her investments are being handled well and that she is not going to be ripped off.

Someone needs to get this young lady to a professional therapist to help her and guide her. She needs t occupy her time getting a formal education and go to college where she should major in  business so she can learn  how to handle her finances.  If she is determined to sing and dance and perform, she needs to be in dance class, have voice coaching, and  take  acting classes  along with her studies.

She needs to focus on her healing and on developing herself so she can be the best she can be. Just being Whitney Houston’s daughter will not cut it  in terms of her success and future. She needs to prove herself on her own.

TOXIC MAN Bobby Brown’s Behavior Nothing New-Diane Sawyer’s 2002 Interview Shows Truth In Their Body Language

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Next month  my book TOXIC MEN will be out in both the paperback and the ebook edition http://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Men-Identify-Miserable-ebook/dp/B0049P1YWK. The book can also apply to women as well s there are  indeed TOXIC WOMEN. In the book I discuss TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS.

Perhaps no better example of a TOXIC RELATIONSHIP  is that  of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston. The poor woman had not been in her grave more than 24 hours when we learned that  her ex husband Bobby Brown is ready to release a tell all book about their relationship to capitalize on her death. That is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the same man who did NOT immediately  hop on a plane to see his daughter as soon as he got word that Whitney had died. Instead he proceeded with his performance in Mississippi, soaking up all the sympathy and  attention milking it for what it was worth.

Then this TOXIC MAN shows up at the memorial service only to create some more drama  and attention to himself  by leaving. He uses  a lame excuse that the security people told him to move three times. Well if he read the invitation, it did NOT say to bring 9 members of his entourage. He needed to walk up to the front like a man and sit next to his daughter whether the family liked it or not. He needed to be there to hold this child’s hand and comfort her, instead of thinking about himself and his ego. I doubt any security would keep a father away from his daughter during her time of need.

Even if he was moved 20 times, he needed to have stuck it out for the sake of his daughter. Instead of sticking around and greeting Bobbi Kristina afterwards, he hightailed it out of there on to a plane where he headed for his concert where he performed evening. It makes one wonder if he didn’t plan this all along.

Bobbi Kristina  has taken her mothers death very hard and rightfully so. He was NOT there to immediately comfort her when she was taken away to Cedars Sinai Medical Center on a gurney the second time. He was NOT there when she needed him most at the memorial.

He was NOT  there when her mother was being buried. In fact she was so distraught that she was said to have taken drugs to cope with the pain in an attempt to self medicate. People at the funeral allegedly reported that she appeared to be high and out of it.

TOXIC Bobby Brown blamed security for his leaving. What a lame excuse! Nothing should have made him leave if he really loved his daughter. But as he has shown, he loves himself more.

Now I will show you just how TOXIC Bobby Brown was to Whiney and still is in her death with his attempts to publish a tell all book.

There are so many things I disucss in my book TOXIC MEN  book which apply to Bobby such as being jealous of a woman and subsequent violence. In a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer, Whitney was asked many hard hitting questions. She asked Whitney if Bobby was jealous of her. Whitney looked directly at Dian and  told the truth. She  said “Sometimes.”

Here you can see her  straightforward and honest  facial expression in response to the question which she answered  in a deep rich resonance tone. Then Bobby comes into the room and yelled NEVER! as he hears the question. Whitney turns to him and i a sheepish tone with a raised octave  with upward infection at the end of the sentence . she says ” Sometimes I hit him ” as the word “him” inflecting upwards. ”

Whitney is clearly uncomfortable as Bobby says this as she rocks back and forth and leans into Diane and puts her hand up as if to say “STOP!” Diane then then invites Bobby on to the coach to interview him directly.  Whitney is not happy about this based on her nervous laugh.

Here Bobby tells Diane” Marriage is turbulent.” Look at their body language as they are seated together. It says it all. Bobby  has his shoulder up towards Whitney literally giving her the “cold shoulder .” He fans away form her and cocks his head in defensiveness. She is tight lipped and there appears to be a lot of facial tension indicating discomfort .

Then Diane bluntly comes out and says Have you ever hit her? He squints and you can see the disdain at her question as he replies No  no no no no, no no no. When someone says that many no’s chances are they are lying. Subsequently, we have come to know that he did indeed hit her and that she even called 911 on him.

Whitney looks away and fluffs her fair and makes a nervous laugh. her body language says it all as she tries to defend him.but knows this is the truth. As he speaks she continues to  pat her hair down in an attempt to self sooth herself .

Bobby goes on to say how he has four sisters and a mother and daughters and would never do such a thing. But as he says this we see him tug at his ear as his autonomic nervous system kicks in where the slight  blood flow changes create itching and tingling. Hence the ear pulling and scratching. He also looks away which is another signal of deceptions he says I would never raise my hands inane kind of way to them.

Then he stammers and says something that has nothing to do with the question Sawyer asked him. he says I love the beauty of women. Whitney clearly knows he is trying to pin it as he look son in disgust and literally gves hi the cold shoulder. This shows us how the body does’t lie. Even tough she was trying to defend him and let’s him literally take over her interview, he body  language speaks volumes  about how she really feels here.’ She also take a deep breath to oxygenate herself as she clearly knknew the truth. As Bobby goes on to defend himself. he grabs Whitneys thigh and says “This is mine.” That said it all! He looked at Whitney as his possession.

Then giant point blank asks if he is jealous of her. Whitney’s body language tells the answer. She puts her finger over her mouth which indicates she is guarding her tongue and not speaking about it and holding back. She turns her body away from him a s she leans back. there is also a great deal of lower jaw tension as we can see. She knows the truth as he denies his jealousy. Thenhe makes a chauvinistic statement “She is a female.” And no one can touch me as an entertainer ! ‘ In retrospect that says it ALL! It says that he did look at Whitney as less than him- as a female and though he was better entertainer. His statement that no one can touch him includes Whitney. In essence he is saying he is a better entertainer than her.

Now Diane literally turns up the heat as she ask him about his doing drugs. We see Bobby sweat as he tries to low key it. But the truth was that the morning of this interview he was arrested with drugs  (marijuana) in his car. When we see someone suddenly sweat it is often n indication of guilt and or deception. As he yes on to explain how drugs are still in his life, he stammers and stutters ,

He is defensive and crosses his arms over his body to show how he does not want to admit just how much drugs are a part of his life.  We can see his defensive head cock and Whitney’s  laughing at knowing just how much drugs are a big part of Bobby’s life . She may be subconsciously enjoying seeing him uncomfortable and squirming during Diane’s questioning.

He stammers and shoulder shrugs as she says he is a high strung persona nd bipolar and how drugs seem to help hm. Whitey really laughs as he says this as she probably realizes how lame he sounds. She knows the truth about him and her laughter says it all. It is a  nervous laugh of discomfort.

She leans forward  and then back and laughs as he describes how every now and then he smokes a joint to level him out.  She says it is not an every dayhting but interjects maybe every other day

When asked about other drugs Whitney’s demeanor suddenly changes as she looks somber and looks down as Bobby says he never has taken them and never will. The give away here is Whitney is shaking her leg repeatedly as he says this , which is often a signal of deception.  He goes on to lie that even though he was tested positive for cocaine as Diane pointed out it was not cocaine but a cocaine like substance like aspirin.

As we look at their wedding video shots we can clearly see that Whitney was very much in love with Bobby. She says in her interview with Diane that she learned so much from him like to not be so contained. Unfortunately  she learned the wrong things from him. her lack of constraint is what no doubt contributed to her early death.

Then the most revealing part of the interview is that Whitney said nothing is perfect.SShe says it several ties as she shrugs her shoulders and shake hr head. Diane then says so this is forever” Whitneys body language says something other than her words, as she replied Thats what I said. She shakes her head no and purses her lips and her voice goes up at the end. This once again verifies that the body does not lie. her body language said it all- that she and Booby would definaetly NOT be forever.

Whitney’s life shows us what can happen when we get involved with a TOXIC MAN. Whether or not she took drugs before Bobby is not the point. The points that you can see the pain as expressed in her body language when she was married to this TOXIC MAN.

Whitney Houston’s Body Language Day Before Her Death Says It All

Sunday, February 12th, 2012


It’s Grammy Week and Whitney Houston was in town of the awards celebration. A call came into the paramedics who  rushed to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to revive an unconscious Whitney but it was too late. After numerous attempts to revive her the 48 year old singer was pronounced Dead.

The night before she died, there were numerous shots of her emerging from a club and she did not appear to be sober. In fact reports confirmed confirmed this. If you look at her body language of that night it speaks volumes.

Apparently she was on the belligerent side as she was helped out of the club.  You can she her finger pointing which often signifies anger along with there mouth formed in making the F consonant with her teeth biting down on her lower lip. Here is she being steadied by one of her companions.

Here she looks out of control and angry. Look at her companions around her. The woman near her hows a facial expression of disgust as she tries to stay Whitney as the gentleman in front of her look away with a numb facial expression. The expressions of those around her are markedly different than Whitney’s.

She finally makes it into the limo looking disheveled and unhappy. Whitney has been in denial about her drug use for a long time. Did it finally catch up with her? Did he body give out due to all of the abuse it had to withstand. Passing away after 48 years is way too young.
Recent reports t revealed she was on the brink of bankruptcy as well as facing mortgage foreclosure as the Morris County Sheriff’s Office recently authorized the mortgage foreclosure sale of her 10-acre New Jersey mansion for over $1million in overdue mortgage payments and taxes.According to the Daily Record of Parsippany, the $6million estate may be seized and sold as part of proceedings.

Apparently people in the music industry fronted her cash against her next album. supporting her and her label is fronting her cash against her next album an it was also reported that she has been taking small loans from friends and recently asked someone if he could borrow one hundred dollars.

This is devastating news from someone who a decade ago signed the biggest record deal in music history with Arista/BMG,  which renewed her contract with the label for $100million to deliver six new albums.

Whitney had her share of troubles from a Toxic enabling relationship with Bobby Brown who found out about Whitney before he was performing in Mississpi and went ahead with his performance anyway.

A few years ago Whitney tried to make a comeback as he went on a world  tour around the world for her platinum album “I Look To You” but it was a disaster with her hoarse off key voice as she failed to hit notes, which left many fans walking  out of her concert and booing her.

On tour she canceled  many concert dates which made many believe she may have been abusing drugs, but she denied those claims and blamed illness for  her cancellations.

While Whitney had a entourage of people around her. in my view she needed to have those people around her give her some tough love and stage a major intervention with her. But perhaps she only surrounded herself with like-minded people or people to afraid to rock the boat and their paychecks,  which would make such an intervention impossible.

More details will emerge as to the actual cause of her death. But most believe that drugs had some influence.

Whitney was a blessing with her magnificent voice. She won more awards than any other artist. But none  of this mattered in the long run. She was a vulnerable and fragile human being just like all of us . She had her demons who sadly overtook her talents an her life.

May she rest in peace.

Whitney Houston’s Touching Body Language With Daughter on Her Birthday

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

l am always touched whenever I see body language that reflects love and affection between mothers and daughters. Perhaps it is because I love my own mother so much I love to see others share the same love. So when I saw the love between Whitney and her daughter  Bobbi Kristina I was deeply moved.

Whitney was in Adelaide Austrailia on her tour  when she stopped her concert to sing a beautiful song to her daughter called “Who Would Imagine A King.” Whitney’s voice was angelic  as she sang it  this song  to her daughter who was a bit embarrassed by all the attention as you can see by her protective body language where she crossed her body with her arms.

Then Whitney invited beautiful  Bobbi Kristina who just turned 17  to come up on stage as a birthday cake was wheeled out for her, thereby surprising her.

Then she went on stage and hugged several of the singers and musicians until she was embraced in her mother’s arms. They had  a lengthy loving birthday hug. It was beautiful! Whitney couldn’t let go of her and even shed a few tears.

Happy Birthday Bobbi Kristina and Welcome Back Whitney! www.drlillianglass.com
