Whitney Houston's estate strongly refuted claims made by Oprah Winfrey at the Cannes Lions conference regarding the late singer's memorable 2009 appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show". The estate condemned the allegations as inaccurate and unfair, stating the singer was completely professional and sober.

Oprah Winfrey recalled an incident where the hitmaker fell off stage during a performance on her talk show, alleging she was under the influence of sustances at the time. Whitney’s estate executor Pat Houston slammed the accusation.

"Whitney absolutely fell off the stage, but it was during a sound check, and it was due to the darkness of the area and her unfamiliarity with the stage,” Pat said in a statement. “She was absolutely not high."

"Like many people, she faced personal battles, but it is inaccurate and unfair to attach that struggle to every performance or every chapter of her life,” Pat explained. “What the studio audience witnessed on stage was the result of discipline, talent, and commitment—not the assumptions others project."

Pat continued, "Whitney’s humanity included triumphs and struggles, but on that day, she showed up as the professional and gifted artist she always worked to be. We owe her the dignity of telling the truth, not repeating myths."
