Bobbi Kristina Brown: Oprah Nabs 1st Interview With Whitney's Daughter

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Bobbi Kristina Brown will sit down with Oprah Winfrey for her first interview following the untimely death of her mother, Whitney Houston. The highly anticipated interview will air on Oprah’s OWN network on March 11th at 9pm.

With no excerpts released from the already completed interview with Bobbi Kristina Brown, her mother’s sister-in-law Patricia Houston and brother Gary Houston, Oprah reveals that the 18-year old shared “personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered.”

Whitney Houston: Her Life in Pictures

Whitney Houston was found unresponsive on February 11th in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel she was staying in hours before the annual pre-Grammy gala. Houston’s death has since been ruled an accident while the final toxicology report is underway.

Bobbi Kristina has become the center of media of attention from the stress of dealing with the tragedy, the relationship with her father Bobby Brown to taking control of her mother’s estate.

Before airing the interview, Oprah will re-air her 2009 special ‘Remembering Whitney: The Oprah Interview’ at 7pm. Oprah has a history of snagging high profile interviews and this one is no different – though the impact of the interview can greatly increase viewership for the struggling network.

What do you hope to hear from Bobbi Kristina’s interview with Oprah Winfrey?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
