Hall who is starring in the Showtime comedy “Black Monday” shared a professional moment when she used her star power to stand up for the iconic singer with a panel of fellow actresses during a roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter, The NY Daily News reports.
“There was a joke. A joke I think about drugs and it was about Whitney Houston and I was like I don’t want to say that,” Hall admits.
“Artists give so much, you know what I mean” she added. “So to make fun of what was a challenge and an illness…The great thing about our writers is they were like, ‘Absolutely. We’ll just do something else.’ ”
Houston who suffered with drug addiction, died in a Los Angeles Beverly Hills Hotel Feb. 11, 2012 due to an accidental drowning in a bathtub, coupled with heart disease and cocaine in her system.
