VIDEO: Oprah's SIT DOWN With Bobbi Kristina & Whitney Houston's Family, Bobbi Kris Says Her Mom Was Her Everything

Sunday evening, Oprah Winfrey's OWN aired her much-anticipated interview with Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina.  Watch it inside.....

Oprah Winfrey sat down with Gary and Patricia Houston as well as 19-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is living in Atlanta, for a taped interview that aired on OWN Sunday evening.

During the emotional chat, Bobbi talked about her mom's passing saying,

"I'm doing as good as I possibly can at this point. I'm just trying to keep going.  I can sing her music, but to hear it now, I can't. I can hear her voice telling me, 'Keep moving, baby. I got you.' She's always with me. I can always feel her with me. She used to always say, 'Do you need me?' And I said, 'I always need you.'"

She added,

"I feel her pass through me all the time. I wake up at night...She would say at 5 a.m. the saints start praying. I wake up now and look at the clock and it's 5 o'clock. I start praying."

She also said, "Lights turn on and off and I'm like, 'Mom, what are you doing?  I can still laugh with her and still talk to her."

Surprisingly, Bobbi says she didn't understand her mom's impact.

"I just saw her as mom. The first time I saw her as a worldwide icon was when we went on tour. And the funeral. She made an impact not only on a few people. She made an impact on the world."

The last time Bobbi Kristina saw Whitney was when they spent the entire day and night in Whitney's arms, as the two were never at a loss of showing love to each other.  So what's next for Whitney's only child, who by the way admitted to being slightly rebellious with her mother but no one else?  Bobbi Kris revealed:

"I have to carry on the legacy. We're gonna do the singing thing. Some acting, some dancing.  It's a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it."

Whitney's manager/sister in law Patricia (far left in above photo) revealed that both Whitney's and Bobby's families got together to do an intervention, after discovering their drug issues in the 90's, on the couple back in the 2004.  She also alluded to Whit's dangerous relationship with Ray-J saying that Whitney was chasing a dream with a young man who was always out and about.  And that she was searching for love in all the wrong places.

And that now infamous night where Whitney was spotted looking a bit frazzled after a party, Pat admitted Whit had exchanged words with an "X-Factor" contestant (Stacy Francis) and it went too far.  Ray-J was rumored to be involved in that as well.

Pat also described Whitney's disturbing death revealing that Pat's own brother (Whitney's security guard) Ray was out of breath attempting to revive Whitney.  She says she has closure, but wishes she could bring Whitney back just so Cissy could see her.

Cissy Houston, via a pre-taped phone convo with Oprah, said she does not believe the funeral home released Whitney's casket picture.

Gary Houston, Whitney's brother, cleared up the confusion about Bobby Brown's funeral drama saying the family NEVER banned Bobby from the services.

Watch parts of the interview below (the interview in full will be posted as soon as it's available) with Bobbi Kristina's portion, as well as Gary revealing that Cissy told the family, off instinct, before Whitney's death that Whitney wouldn't be with them for too much longer:

Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

 

BONUS:

Oprah's longtime partner Stedman Graham made the cover of the April 2012 issue of O magazine.  The couple, who have been together for 25-years, dish on Oprah's cooking in the issue.  Yes....Oprah cooks y'all.

Mr. Graham said, “Chefs don’t have anything on her.  She makes great pancakes, too. She makes great eggs, she makes great steaks—I mean, you could go on and on and on."

Now that's love.  Speaking of that, Oprah also talks about her "Love Sandwich," the twosome's Saturday afternoon staple.

"It became the Love Sandwich because I first started making it just for Stedman," Oprah reveals in the issue.  "I’ve only made it for a couple of other people, so if you’ve had me make the Love Sandwich for you, you have to be somebody I really care about."

The full story hits newsstands on Tuesday, March 13.

WANT YOUR OWN AVATAR? GET IT HERE.

Oh wow! You are obviously an

Oh wow! You are obviously an Oprah HATER & a very bitter person. Why such negativity? Oprah asks what the world wants to hear whether you think they're dumb or not and I'm pretty sure if the Houston family did not want to do that interview then it surely wouldn't have happened. They are very strong and very smart people, so actually right now you are the one who sounds dumb and insensitive. I will agree that she probably should've sat down to talk to Bobbi Kristina, however, maybe they/she wanted to stand...that is really irrelevant.

But Oprah wasnt asking what

But Oprah wasnt asking what the world wanted to hear....they were obvious questions like do you miss your mom and shit like are you still upset?...like ...Im not mocking Oprah or anything...but just because shes been doing it for a long time doesnt mean she shouldnt have integrity in her interviews...I feel like shes aggressive in a way that it comes off rude...and I feel like celebs take it because shes OPRAH.....but stilll

If what you say is TRUE...

If what you say is TRUE... then you're partially right...but what if they asked her to set up an interview... what if they wanted it to be a casual conversation not a sit down interview that would have overwhelmed her....just a bit of wisdom....things aren't always what they appear to be... harsh judgemental words based not on facts but perception cause rumors, lies, & tragedy..just a thougt...

Poor Bobbi Kris...she seemed

Poor Bobbi Kris...she seemed like a sweet girl. But now she's left alone in the world. My heart goes out to her. I pray for her strength and that she can stay sober and that her mother's spirit stays with her and keeps her. I also hope Oprah keeps an eye on her because I don't think she has one DECENT person in her life. Especially NOT her father and his people. All Bobby wants is attention. Poor WHitney paid all of his child support for ALL of his kids lives and this is how he repays her...by once again not showing up and letting it be about someone other than himself. I don't care if Bobbi Kris hasn't reached out...he needs to step up and be the bigger person. BUT he can NEVER be that! He's such a loser. Poor Bobbi Kristina ..I applaud her for changing her name.

I really enjoyed this interview. I was so impressed by the way Bobbi Kristina held her own during the interview and how mature she is. This family is just real, and I love that about them. I wish them nothing but the best. And I love me some Oprah, but she can come off as phony sometimes lol, her crying fits just seemed.... So hollywood, but I guess that comes with being in the billionaire club lol

The interview was sweet but

The interview was sweet but standing up was unprofessional with cameras everywhere. What were you thinking Oprah? Bobbi should either cut the front of her hair or just find another hair piece. That was quite annoying. I guess she was nervous.

Oprah is a billionare and she

Oprah is a billionare and she did not get that wealty by being an idiot. She was obviously standing because the interview was set up this way. The child obviously did not want to sit down and do a full blown interview, sooooo Oprah got the interview done the best way she could.

You are talking professional

You are talking professional and hairstyles when this child just lost her mother a month ago! Get a real clue! Ever thought she stood up because it gave her strength?!? She was able to stand up straight and focus on what she really wanted to say about her mother!
Anonymous's picture

She is talking about someone

She is talking about someone who is near & dear to her heart: her mother who JUST died and you focused on her hair? REALLY? Can you even imagine how hard that must have been for her to talk about it at all?! smh

That was a great interview

That was a great interview and I was really impressed with how strong Bobbi Kristina was in this short amount of time. However, I know people who have held up well after shortly after losing a loved one because they were at peace. Pat kept it way real. The saddest was the very end when Gary broke down. Oprah did a phenomenal job as always and was the perfect person to do this interview. She basically got every question that the public had answered.

Good lawd! That O cover makes

Good lawd! That O cover makes Oprah look like a chocolate Mariah Carey and Stedman look like a high yella version of Mathew Knowles. Something in the airbrushing ain't clean! LOL! As for BK....I really do hope her mama and the Kang of R&B prepared her for the business cause that girl has a tough row to hoe!

Bobbi Kristina did an

Bobbi Kristina did an interview withoprah standing up. What kind of crap is that? oprah seemed so fake to me and she said really tooooooooooo dam much. I dont think she connects with black people very well for one and she seems like she cant wait for this interview to be over and didnt want to be there in the first place. I DONT LIKE HER AT ALL...I wish Bobbi Kristina all the best. oprah should not be asking questions about Bobby Brown because we all know what happened and she doesnt have good questions in the first place.....

That was funny! And yes she asked all the right questions. If you didn't approve of too early interview, why would you watch. You can't please everyone. I also agree she asked all the right questions. And as a fan, I appreciated the interview and believe it was done in good taste. IJS

LMAO at that magazine cover.

LMAO at that magazine cover. They photoshopped the hell out of her and she look like she's trying to wrestle that plate away from poor Stedman.

I think that Bobbi is going

I think that Bobbi is going to be alright. She has so much love around her, and she seems at peace. I lost both of my parents within two years of one another, and it felt like I wasn't going to get through it, but over a decade later, my sisters and I can talk about them, and even laugh about them, remembering funny things they did. It's hard, but Bobbi will be just fine.
