A shocking new interview with Whitney Houston's brother Michael Houston reveals that he was the one who introduced the singer to drugs, including cocaine, which tragically helped contribute to her untimely death last year.

Candidly, he spoke to Oprah about the fact that he was the first person that the "I Will Always Love You" singer ever used drugs with -- not her husband Bobby Brown as many assumed.

"You gotta understand at the time ... the '80s ... it was acceptable," he said. "It's painful ... I feel responsible for what I let go so far."

Houston's death on Feb. 22 of last year was officially ruled as an "accidental drowning," but the coroner's report confirmed that she had used cocaine just prior to her death -- which led to cardiac disruption.

"I'm living, but I'm not alive without her. I felt responsible, I always have, always. I just felt like I should've took better care of her," he said.

The singer is survived by her siblings, her mother and her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Two crack heads, together....I never thought Bobby did it....This woman was doing drugs way before Bobby. Bobby was a drinker, look at his lips.... Finally, Bobby can say "I told y'all" May God Bless us all.

There's an old southern saying, let sleeping dogs lay, I've always said, the only person that can write a accurate tell all book. Is the one who lived it, any second party tell all is hearsay, it can't be accepted in court, and it should not be accepted in your heart or mind, what mother who truly loved their child would want to expose their deceased child's life, warts and all to the world, who does it profit. Certainly not the deceased, and these people who are writing this tell-all, if someone wrote one about them would their reputation survive it.

I have always believed Cissy and her son had something to do with this. RIP Whitney. Here's what I think of Cissy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwtQnsad53E
