Nancy Grace On Whitney Houston’s Death: ‘Who Let Her Slip, Or Pushed Her, Underneath That Water?’

video
» 78 comments

Was Whitney Houston’s death…murder? HLN’s Nancy Grace seemed to suggest as much when she made a special appearance on CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin to give her legal speculation on the R&B pop star’s alleged cause of death. Grace wondered if anyone had given Houston the drugs that contributed to her death, and then drew comparisons to charges raised in the cases of Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson‘s deaths.

“I’d like to know who was around her, who — if anyone — gave her drugs… following alcohol and drugs, and who let her slip, or pushed her, underneath that water? Apparently, no signs of force or trauma to the body. Who let Whitney Houston go under her water?”

Baldwin reiterated that the cause of death is unknown. While TMZ and other news organizations have reported that Houston may have suffered a fatal reaction from mixing drugs and alcohol, Baldwin went on to ask Grace if others possibly were involved. “Might it have been one person, might it have been multiple people?” Baldwin hypothesized. “All excellent questions. Again, we don’t know the cause of her death.” Baldwin asked Grace what she had learned so far. Grace said there were three different prescription drug containers for the same drug — benzodiazepine — from three different doctors.

“They were medicating her out the yin-yang,” Grace said.

    Nancy Grace ratings are slipping she  needs to make up a a story. No one knows what happened. Why does she need to speculate?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_45S32GWGDRUJIL6E2U4HOZW4BM Bob

    Oh, for f—’s sake. Why does CNN put this moron on TV.

  • shonangreg

     I think this kind of gutter talk is her job (blame CNN for that one). The disappointing thing is that anybody actually watches her show. We could see years and years ago that this is how she would attack every story.

    oh Jesus freaking Christ get this bird of prey looking lady off the air already!

    BTW, anyone want to guess her political affiliation? she acts like a repug, but seems like she donates to dems. so not sure.. just wondering…

  • Anonymous

    Yes lets look to blame everyone else except the person who took the drugs and had a serious drug problem for over 20 years. WOW

  • Pablo

    Well, here’s something else we can all agree on. This woman is a ghoul and an embarrassment to the already embarrassing state of journalism.

    I totally agree with you .

    Casey Anthony did it.

    I wonder what it would be like being Nancy Grace’s son-in-law?

  • Pablo

    There’s no ratings in it being Whitney’s fault. Besides, how could a grown woman take pills and drink* all by herself? J’ACCUSE!!!!!

    * don’t nobody mention that we don’t know if that happened

    Funny you should be so insulting, since she is a Democrat who donated heavily to your god, I mean President Obama.

    “They were medicating her out the yin-yang,” Grace said.

    What ever happened to personal responsibility, Nancy? Whitney too full responsibility for her drug use. 

  • Anonymous

    Amen, not to mention when she was a practicing attorney the state supreme court more then once questioned her legal ethics and potential violations of due process

  • Ben

    Lemme jump on that wagon and say yes.We can sure as hell agree on that one.

  • Anonymous

    That’s not the point. The information is still lacking and Grace is making, already, hurtful accusations, apparently directed at her family and friends, without knowing anything.

    Houston, we have a problem.  Nancy took to many crazy pills again.

  • Anonymous

    Goofy cluck.  

    She impels us to acknowledge that there’s something sinister going on, without being able to pinpoint exactly what is sinister and why.  I hope you ladies out there never have a seizure in front of this woman, because she’s liable to scream “witch” and strike a match.

     

  • Pablo

    That is my point, along with the fact that Grace doesn’t care what the facts are, she’s got a show to sell.

  • Anonymous

    Donated heavily to Obama? According to FEC records the only donation of over $250 over the last 15 years by her was $1,000 in 1999 to Hillary Clinton. So in other words you completely made that up.

    No argument here.

    Exactly, an addict surrounds themselves with enablers so of course some else maybe involved with the procurement, etc. But, we, most of us, are adults and responsible for our choices. Unfortunately for the world of music, Whitney made some really bad ones.

    Nancy Grace has snakes for hair. Won’t be long before she accuses Casey Anthony of murdering Whitney Houston.

    Did you catch how she is trying out her next catch phrase? I think she was test-driving “America’s Songbird” to see if it was as catchy as “Tot Mom”.

    NG is just a monster. Can you imagine being one of her poor, poor children? I can only imagine it as looking a lot like the hanger scene Mommy Dearest. How can this horrible person sleep at night?

    Why is her political affiliation a factor?
    Her behavior in carting out this BS, made-for-ratings story is appalling whether she’s a democrat or a republican. What purpose does the answer to your question serve? If she agrees with your politics, is the story better? If she disagrees with her politics, is the story worse? Why does this matter? Why does every single thing that happens in the world come down to libitards and rePUGlicans?
    Jesus Christ, get your head out of your ass and get some perspective on life!

    I can’t stand this bitch.

    Perhaps Whitney Houston passed out and drowned in the tub?

    Or perhaps she had a heart attack in the tub and drowned?

    A stroke? Or perhaps it’s MURDER!!

    End of murder plot.  Grace just wants higher ratings.

    She didn’t drown anyway.  She died of pills and alcohol and then just slid into the water.  Nancy goes off the deep end as usual.

     WOW Nancy Grace  is such a disgrace… Reporting on stuff that hasnt even been released yet… Why do you always make it sound worse then what it is…  #1   We know she had a drug problem BUT they are saying this may have been an accidental od  so get your  facts straight… @ Her Lungs werent swimming… The coroner said there was very LITTLE water in her lungs… Like everyone else… wait for the tox screen report before YOU start reporting… I quit watching YOU years ago because you have NO credibility  and its all about YOU… You need to be taken off the air…

    Just when I think Nancy Grace can’t get any more ridiculous she out does herself. “Who was suppose to be with her?”  I don’t know about you Nancy, but I prefer not to have anyone with me when I’m bathing.  “Her lungs were full of water.”  The M.E. has already said there was not enough water in her lungs to cause drowning.  As usual you never let the facts get in your way. Please just shut up and have some respect for her family idiot!

     I don’t know who I dislike more Nancy Grace or Sarah Palin. Nancy only spouts off BS once in a while and there are so many days in a row that Sarah spouts her BS. I wish they’d both get a permanent case of laryngitis.

    Don’t get me wrong. I am not anti-woman at all. I’m just anti-morons.

    Neither does she. Thats why she shouldn’t go on national news speculating about cause death. Especially if your name is Nancy Grace. She doesn’t mind saying all the crazy shit that pops in big a$$ head about some who had way more class then she will ever will.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jill-Johnson/100002594824409 Jill Johnson

    Does Nancy have someone watching her in the tub to yank her up if she dips too low?  Maybe Whitney was ALONE in the bathroom (gasp), and it was accidental.  Maybe she did have a lot of meds on board (autopsy/toxicology will take care of that info)…. the drama is old news; Nancy needs a new schtick.
