The first part of Whitney Houston's sit-down with Oprah Winfrey aired today, and the singer revealed some shocking details about married life with Bobby Brown to the queen of talk.

In what Oprah called "the best interview of I've ever done," Whitney revealed that she suffered years of abuse and addiction during her marriage to Bobby Brown. "He slapped me once, but he got hit on the head three times by me," Houston said of her 14-year marriage to Brown.

"He was my drug," Whitney told Oprah. "I didn't do anything without him."

The singer also admitted that her drug use got so bad that her mom staged an intervention, which included bringing the sheriff to Whitney's house to force her into rehab.

"She said, 'If you move, Bobby, they're going to take you down.' And he stood there, like he was scared," Whitney told Oprah.

Although Whitney's marriage to Bobby seems like an absolute nightmare, success is the best revenge - and she got hers when her comeback album debuted at number one on the Billboard charts last week.

The rest of the interview airs tomorrow.
