Nancy Grace, professional newschannel loudmouth, recently stirred up a hornet’s nest when she speculated that Whitney Houston could have been murdered.
Speaking to CNN’s Brooke Baldwin, Grace said:
“I’d like to know who was around her,” Grace had said Monday on CNN, “who if anyone gave her drugs following alcohol and drugs, and who let her slip or pushed her underneath that water. Apparently no signs of force or trauma to the body; who let Whitney go under her water?”
After Grace’s highly speculative comments, there was a firestorm of backlash from all over the place, including from The View‘s Whoopi Goldberg, who criticized Grace for jumping into such wild speculation so soon after Whitney’s death.
Grace may have received a health amount of backlash for her comments, but don’t expect her to apologize. Grace appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America, and GMA legal analyst Dan Abrams called her out, saying that she should apologize for inappropriate speculation.
“I understand that some people may consider that jarring or harsh, but there is nothing delicate or nice about a murder, a death, an unexpected death, or an autopsy,” Grace said in her defense.
“Can’t you just say, ‘I was wildly speculating and I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said it. It was inappropriate,’” Abrams fired back. Grace said it was not speculation. “They look to see if it was a homicide, if it was natural causes, or accident. I know that’s not palatable, it’s not easy going down, but that is the reality of what medical examiners do.”

Come on Nancy, just admit that you overstepped your bounds before you lose your credibility which probably should have been done after your stint on "Dancing with the Stars."
What's wrong with speculating causes of someone's death? Maybe it needed to be said so it can be looked into.
It is because Nancy Grace is white and Whitney Houston is black. There I said it. Oooops….I just speculated. ;p
When that speculating is done by a 'journalist', then too many people take it as fact. When Nancy Grace says something like that on national TV, too many people will assume that it's correct. Remember, this is the woman who treated the Duke lacrosse team like rapists long after the police investigation exonerated them. Speculation like that should be done behind closed doors until there is evidence to prove it's true or false. The media should not be throwing out speculation of foul play until an investigation has discovered true evidence of it.
Kathleen Turner Out of respect keep your mouth shut. White trash
I see you added the word 'white' in there. Hmmmmm….just saying. For your information, I loved Whitney Houston's music and I think she had amazing talent. I am merely commenting on the speculation around Nancy Grace's speculation and the possible link to racism that is still prevalent in BOTH races. So out of respect (for what) I am suppose to keep my mouth shut? I will not keep my mouth shut. But I don't like arguing with racists.
Kathleen Turner wow am black your white lets speculate on us getting together since you have thing about black people.
