Former X Factor USA finalist Stacy Francis has spoken out about her regret of clashing with Whitney Houston just days before she passed away.
Reports suggested earlier that Whitney had confronted Stacy on Thursday at a pre-Grammy party after she saw Stacy talking to her on/off boyfriend, Ray J.
Filled with remorse after hearing about Whitney's death, Stacy who was mentored by Nicole Scherzinger on the X Factor USA last year, tweeted:
"This is a sad time for me. I loved Whitney Houston with all my heart. She was such an amazing musical influence for me.
"I deeply regret the events that led to Thursday's misunderstanding, but I respect and love her more than I can say... Whitney maintained a genuineness in this difficult profession and I will always admire and respect the courage that she lived.
"At this painful time, I would like to express my support and most sincere condolences to Whitney's family in learning of her sudden death... I will always remember her to be a deeply humane person and wish her spirit to rest in peace."
