Following the sad death of Whitney Houston last weekend accounts of her battle with drugs have surfaced from those close to her. Now, her chauffeur of two decades Al Bowman, has revealed how he watched her spiral out of control and even take drugs in front of her daughter Bobbi Kristina, when she was as young as six.
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes, here was Whitney Houston in the back of my limo smoking crack with her six or seven-year-old daughter sat next to her playing with a doll, it was heart-breaking, out of control.
“I’ve driven some big stars over the years – Michael and Janet Jackson, Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue – but Whitney was by far the worst behaved.
“It was tragic to see. Here was this glamorous superstar adored around the world, but in the back of my car she was a rambling drug addict, a complete train wreck. It was so sad, I wanted to help her but she was just too out of control and wouldn’t listen to anyone.”
He continued: “Things took a turn for the worse when she met Bobby Brown in the early 90s. They started smoking crack in the back of the limo. One time it got a little crazy back there, they were smoking and all of a sudden the limo is on fire. I pulled over and got the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.
“It turns out they were free-basing crack, it was like a crack lab in the back of the limo. There were little bags, pipes and spoons all over the place, they were using a little butane torch and lit up a bunch of cocktail napkins and the whole place went up. Whitney and Bobby had no clue what was going on, they were wasted and just wanted to party it up.”
