Whitney Houston tried to slit her wrists two days before her death, claimed Star

US tabloid Star has alleged that Whitney Houston tried to take her own life just two days before being found dead in Beverly Hilton hotel room in LA.

The publication, Star, is the sister magazine of the National Enquirer, which controversially printed a photograph of dead Whitney Houston in her coffin on its front cover.

It is alleged that Whitney Houston “tried to slit her wrists in the bathroom of LA’s Tru Hollywood nightclub on February 9”, following her row with X Factor star Stacy Francis.

A source is quoted as saying: “There was blood all over her, from her hands, wrists and legs, and there was a blade in her hand.”

It is further suggested that the so-called suicide attempt was intended as “ultimate revenge” on Clive Davis, who was apparently planning to cut her off financially.

The report has been flatly denied by a member of Whitney Houston’s entourage, who tells Gossip Cop that the whole thing is “definitely not true”.
