A life of celebrity took its toll on Houston. Many feared that she had fallen under the controlling grip of then-husband Bobby Brown. In 2002, amid rumors of drug use, Houston sat down for an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer. In the interview, Houston alluded to having used cocaine, prescription pills, and marijuana, but drew the line at suggestions that she had used crack cocaine. In what turned into an infamous rant, Houston railed: ”First of all, let’s get one thing straight,” she told Sawyer. “Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let’s get that straight. OK? We don’t do crack. We don’t do that. Crack is whack.”
