Cissy Houston, Oprah Discuss Whitney Houston's Death

The Moment Cissy Houston Found Out Her Daughter Was Dead

Oprah has scored a host of big interviews. Along with her epic interviews with the Kardashian family and infamous bad girl Rihanna, she also managed to get a monumental admission out of embattled cyclist Lance Armstrong and even spoke to rapper LL Cool J about his childhood abuse.

Now the media mogul has lined up another exclusive interview for her show "Oprah's Next Chapter," with Whitney Houston's mother Cissy Houston. Nearly a year after her daughter's death, the superstar's mother opens up about raising Whitney, her drug use and relationships.

The New Jersey-native recently told People magazine that she questioned her parenting skills and asked herself whether or not she could have saved her daughter's life. In her memoir, she reveals intimate details of the legendary singer's relationships and confronts rumors of her lesbian relationship with her former assistant.

Check out a sneak peek of the interview above, and catch the full episode Monday night at 10 p.m. EST on OWN.
