Ex-con Minister Claims He Saved Whitney From Drugs

Globe magazine spoke with an ex-convict/crack dealer turned preacher Rev. Johnny Jeremiah who revealed he has helped Whitney Houston clean up from her drug abuse. Jeremiah proclaimed, “I’m showing Whitney a better way - a higher way. I’m getting her off alcohol and drugs, and she’s sticking with the program.” Whitney’s pals deny his claims saying she’s cleaned up on his own. Whatever the case, Whitney is looking much better, as an insider said, “She looks great again. She’s put on 12 pounds and is really taking care of herself. She’s exercising, eating properly and, most importantly, she’s off the drugs and alcohol.” Bobby Brown isn’t said to be happy with Jeremiah with a friend confiding, “He’s angry and he doesn’t want Johnny around her.”
