The X Factor

More details are emerging from Whitney Houston's tragic last days, including a disturbing story of a drunken altercation with The X-Factor contestant Stacy Francis mere days before Whitney's death. 

Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton yesterday, but her last public appearance was Thursday, Feb. 9 at the nightclub Tru Hollywood in Los Angeles, where she performed "Yes, Jesus Loves Me." RadarOnline quotes an eyewitness who said that Whitney had been "drinking tequila the entire night and appeared to be highly intoxicated," which may explain her behavior when she came offstage to find her boyfriend Ray J chatting with former X-Factor star Stacy Francis.

A witness says that Whitney began screaming, "This is my man! I'm a cougar! B*tch, get away from my man!" and although Ray J tried to calm Whitney down by explaining that Stacy was a family friend, she was inconsolable. Whitney then shoved Stacy, who shoved her back. "People were pleading for Whitney to chill out. It was embarrassing," the witness said.

Stacy later mentioned the incident on her Twitter feed, although the tweets in question have since been deleted.

Whitney's appearance at the club has been the subject of much speculation, since she was seen exiting the venue that evening with blood on her leg — RadarOnline explains that her leg was scratched in the melee.
