Two days before appearing dead in the bathtub, singer Whitney Houston was'' aggressive'' out of control due to the ingestion of large amounts of tequila and champagne. Stacy Francis, a finalist for the U.S. version of 'X Factor', quickly became the target of the wrath of the artist, who gave him several screams and even tried to attack her.
The incident occurred at a Hollywood nightclub where both agreed . The TV show contestant having an animated conversation with Ray J, who was a former boyfriend of Whitney, and the artist could not repress his jealousy and accused of trying to steal her man.
'' I was completely beside himself. He put his hand on his face and began to insult me and call me bitch. It just went crazy, like Jekyll and Hyde,'' said the girl.
'' He pushed my head back. I had to grab his hand and stop it. I said, 'Please do not do this. You are everything to me. You're a legend, my idol,'' he continued.
Before the incident, both Stacy and Whitney had acted that night at the club, a concert tribute to Etta James, who died recently. After both were chatting amiably, but the mood changed suddenly when the diva Ray J came into the room.
'' The truth is that there was much alcohol involved. She was serving shots consistently, and drank one right before going onstage. Ray came up to me and hugged me to congratulate the success of 'X Factor', but I think Whitney is misunderstood everything,'' said Stacey.
'' I was with a date, but she did not realize. He began to wonder what he was doing and if there was a fox. It was very uncomfortable because we had just before been speaking normally. Ray and his friend tried to reduce it with security guards, because the truth is that he was beside himself,'' he said.
Although the causes of the death of Whitney are still to be confirmed by the forensic evidence most suggest that the trigger was a mixture of alcohol and drugs.
Stacey was devastated when he learned of the tragic accident of the diva, and could not blame those friends who did nothing to help.
'' I am convinced that today would alive if someone had had the courage to make him stop. It's all a shame, because in essence it was a good person,'' he concluded sadly.
