Summary

The Whitney Houston estate has publicly refuted Oprah Winfrey's claim that the late singer was high and fell off the stage during a 2009 appearance on her talk show. According to an Instagram statement from the estate, Houston did fall during a sound check, but it was due to poor lighting and unfamiliarity with the stage, not drug use. The dispute arose after Winfrey recounted the incident at Cannes Lion, alleging Houston was relapsing at the time.
