LOOK AND GO, WHY IS THIS
HAPPENING TO ME?
>> Reporter: I SAT DOWN WITH PAT
HOUSTON, WHITNEY'S
SISTER-IN-LAW, A PRODUCER ON THE
DOCUMENTARY, AND ASKED THAT VERY
QUESTION.
WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO HER?
>> WHY?
YOU KNOW, IT'S THE CHOICES THAT
YOU MAKE.
WE LOOK AT CELEBRITIES LIKE
THEY'RE IMMORTALS, AND THEY'RE
NOT.
THE EXPECTATION THAT SHE'S
SUPPOSED TO BE THIS PERFECT
PERSON, THAT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE
FOR ONE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
>> Reporter: WAS IT A BURDEN FOR
HER, A JUDGMENT?
>> DEFINITELY A BURDEN.
A FEW DAYS BEFORE SHE PASSED,
THAT'S WHAT SHE TALKED ABOUT,
WHY DO PEOPLE JUDGE ME?
>> Reporter: NEW DETAILS ON
HOUSTON'S DRUG ADDICTION.
HER BROTHERS REVEALING A
RELATIVE GAVE HER A BAG OF
MARIJUANA AND COCAINE FOR HER
16th BIRTHDAY.
16 YEARS OLD.
WHO IS WATCHING OUT FOR THIS
GIRL?
>> BACK THEN, EVERYONE WAS
TRYING IT AND DOING DRUGS.
IT WAS A RECREATIONAL THING.
THEY WEREN'T THINKING.
THEY WERE JUST THINKING ABOUT
HAVING FUN.
>> Reporter: WHAT DID YOU DO?
I MEAN, DID YOU ONE-ON-ONE, PULL
HER ASIDE?
WHAT DID SHE SAY?
DID YOU SAY, WHITNEY, YOU'RE
GOING TO DIE?
>> THERE WERE INTERVENTIONS FOR
HER.
EVERYBODY ALWAYS WENT TO HER.

DISTURBING ALLEGATIONS THAT
WHITNEY AND HER BROTHERS WERE
SEXUALLY MOLESTED BY COUSIN DIDI
WARWICK, WHO HAS SINCE DIED.
SISTER TO FAMED SINGER DION
WARWICK.
>> SUCH A SENSITIVE SUBJECT, YOU
KNOW.
I STILL HAVE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW,
AND DION, WHO ARE STILL WITH US,
AND THEY'RE BOTH VERY HONORABLE
WOMEN.
>> Reporter: LET ME ASK YOU
ABOUT BOBBY BROWN.
HE WAS INTERVIEWED AND ASKED
ABOUT THE DRUG USE.
HE SAYS, I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THE DRUGS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT KILLED HER.
WHAT DOES HE MEAN?
>> YOU'D HAVE TO ASK HIM THAT.
I HAVE NO IDEA.
YOU KNOW, BOBBY IS BOBBY.
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY
DISCUSSES HOUSTON'S FINAL DAYS,
SAYING, WHITNEY WAS HAPPY, EVEN
AN HOUR BEFORE SHE WAS FOUND
DEAD IN HER LOS ANGELES HOTEL
ROOM BATHROOM.
CLEAR IT UP.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN YOUR OPINION?
>> ONLY HER AND GOD KNOWS THAT.
ONLY HER AND GOD KNOWS THAT.
>> Reporter: PERHAPS THE MOST
HEARTBREAKING TALE IN THE MOVIE
IS ABOUT HOUSTON'S DAUGHTER,
BOBBI KRISTINA, WHO DIED AT AGE
22, IN AN EERILY SIMILAR WAY TO
HER MOTHER.
WHITNEY'S FORMER AGENT SAID
KRISSIE HAD NEVER SEEN A NORMAL
LIFE.
SHE WAS THE COMPANION OF AN
ALCOHOLIC AND DRUG ADDICT, AND
THAT'S WHAT SHE LEARNED TO BE.
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT
WHITNEY AS A MOM?
>> SHE WASN'T PRESENT, AS
PRESENT AS SHE SHOULD BE.
SHE DID TRY AT THE END, BUT IT
WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO LATE.
>> Reporter: ARE YOU AT PEACE?
>> I'M AT PEACE BECAUSE I KNOW
SHE'S AT PEACE.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH
ALL OF THIS ANYMORE.
SHE WAS GIVEN TO US FOR ONE
MOMENT IN TIME.
SHE SERVED HER PURPOSE.
>> WE WANT TO MENTION, WE
REACHED OUT TO BOTH DION WARWICK
AND HOUSTON REGARDING DIDI
WARWICK AND THE MOLESTATION
ALLEGATIONS.
HOUSTON IS DECLINING COMMENTS.
WE DIDN'T HEAR BACK FROM
WARWICK.
IT OPENS IN THEATERS JULY 6th.
>> YOU WATCHED IT.
>> I WATCHED IT TWICE.
BOTH TIMES I WATCHED IT BEFORE
GOING TO BED, AND IT WAS HEAVY.
I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING,
TWICE, AND IT IS STILL HAUNTING.
THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS WE
DIDN'T KNOW.
I TALKED TO PAT FOR ABOUT AN
HOUR, AND I'LL TRY TO PUT THEM
ON TODAY.COM.
A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL LIKE, IN
SOME WAYS, IT WAS REALLY HARD
FOR HER.
DID SHE STAND A CHANCE?
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE COULD GO TO REHAB, BUT WHEN
SHE'D COME BACK, COME BACK TO
REALITY, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT
HAUNTED HER WERE STILL THERE.
>> YEAH.
ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE STILL
SURROUNDING HER.
>> THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO LOVED
HER BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,
IT'S HARD, WE ALL KNOW, WITH
ADDICTION.
THIS MOVIE, I HAVE A FEELING, A
