(Whitney Houston)- She spoke about how the industry pressured her to maintain a perfect image, hiding her struggles to keep up a marketable brand while ignoring her humanity. Whitney criticized how the industry used her voice and image for profit while failing to protect her mental and emotional well-being. She felt trapped by labels that pushed her to make certain types of music to appeal to white audiences while disconnecting her from her gospel and soul roots.

After Whitney began speaking up about the pressures and exploitation she faced, the industry and media called her difficult, washed, ungrateful, weak ans joked about her drug addiction. Using her struggles against her while ignoring their role in her pain.
