Ray J On Whitney Houston: ‘I Really Miss My Friend’

ray j Ray J On Whitney Houston: I Really Miss My FriendWithout saying his name Ray J was read extensively by Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law Patricia “Pat” Houston like an employee handbook during her exclusive interview with Oprah — and life was obtained by all.

On Friday, during a press conference for the Brotherhood Crusade and Mothers in Action Organizations in Los Angeles, Ray J was moved to tears while describing his current emotional state.

He told reporters, “I really miss my friend, you know, I really do. I’m still hurting.”

He added, “I’m able to look at life in a whole different way.” He looked down at his cell phone and said, “I always look at my phone because I’ve got a picture of somebody that I really love and it helps me through the day.”

“This is all new for me,” said Ray J. “I’m really emotional right now, and I really don’t know really what to say. But, what I will say, is that I love, and I’m hurt, but I enjoy being around people that support me and give me a sense of peace.”

Many questions weighing heavy on the hearts of Whitney Houston supporters were answered last night when Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, her brother, Gary Houston, and sister-in-law, Patricia “Pat” Houston, all sat down with Oprah to address the icon’s passing in a special airing of ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter.’

“She would say at 5 a.m. the saints start praying,” said the 19-year-old, only daughter of the pop star. “I wake up now and look at the clock and it’s 5 o’clock. I start praying.”

Bobbi Kristina told Winfrey she’s managing as best she can, that she’s “just trying to keep going” and feels her mother’s lingering presence around her, even in the form of flickering lights.

“I can hear her voice telling me to ‘keep moving, baby, I gotcha.’ She’s always with me. I can always feel her with me,” she explained, mentioning she aimed to further her mother’s legacy through her own career in singing and acting. Of her lasting memory with Whitney the day before she died, Bobbi Kristina commented, “I went to go get her … I said, ‘Come lay down with me.’ She stayed with me all night and all day, rubbing my head. I slept in her arms. All day, all night.”
