Whitney Houston 'chose death': Swedish politician

Whitney Houston was an “awful mother” who “chose drugs and death” and thus doesn’t deserve all the media attention being devoted to her death, a local Swedish politician has argued.

(...)

While Holmlund admitted Houston was a “good singer” and that he even owned a few of her albums, he felt that the media had gone too far in exalting Houston and her apparently fatal drug addiction.

“Now the media is glorifying someone who couldn’t take care of her daughter, but instead drew her child into drug addiction,” wrote Holmlund.

“What an awful mother who didn’t see to it that her daughter didn’t follow in her footsteps.”

The politician argued that addicts can’t “blame anyone but themselves” for their problems.
