R&B singer Houston (who had a hit last year with “I Like That”) tried to jump out a hotel window yesterday. Security prevented the suicide attempt and locked him in a room where he GOUGED HIS EYE OUT.

MTV.com reports that Bushwick Bill of rap group the Geto Boys felt compelled to speak out:

In 1991, Bill forced his girlfriend to assist him in a suicide attempt, and she shot him in the eye. “Fame will make you crazy,” Bill said in a statement. “It isn’t for everybody.”

So if you thought shit like this only happened in ’80s afterschool specials about PCP, think again. Here is the extremely gross photo of Houston’s eye.

    SoOo gross! I threw up a little.

  2. gauged his eye out? the picture looks like he gouged it out. that is all.

  3. radzilla  |   Posted on Feb 3rd, 2005

    yeah…why did i look at the picture, again??

    bleeccchhhh!!

  4. i think he might have gauged it out and that’s what it looks like when the doctors popped it back in. i mean, he probably wouldn’t have gauged it out and then torn the eyeball itself off the dangly nerve ending parts right? that would be REALLY crazy.

  5. Well, I was warned, so I’m not even curious as to how gross the pic is.

  6. Is it really that gross?

  7. potato  |   Posted on Feb 3rd, 2005

    I couldn’t look at it for more than a second.

  8. Go on Blu take a look.

  9. jefferson  |   Posted on Feb 3rd, 2005

    idiot. it sucks when you throw up in your mouth, and end up swallowing it because people are around.

  10. hoho  |   Posted on Feb 3rd, 2005

    This site isn’t as interesting as it used to be.

  11. I heard he had the hots for him mom.

  12. nice Oedipus reference… it’s always good to bust one of those out whenever someone has some kind of self-inflicted eye injury…

  13. ishtar gonzalez  |   Posted on Feb 3rd, 2005

    Now he is going to be stuck with a wonky Thom Yorke like stare.

  17. You know, some people are crazy and shouldn’t be given contracts until they’ve been given a full mental examination.

    That being said, I Like That is a really kickass song.

  18. He did it for the eye patch. Nothing says superstar like a Pirate.

  19. It’s funny you mentioned PCP cause I read in one article that he apparently had a history with it.

  20. msanthropic  |   Posted on Feb 4th, 2005

    That’s so fucking punk rock!

  28. Hey sweetpea, I was expecting the same thing! Anyway, it’s not really as gross anymore.

  29. calliwell  |   Posted on Feb 4th, 2005

  31. Lena  |   Posted on Feb 5th, 2005

    Personally i think Houston has cum down, i didnt like, I like that and i cudn’t stand the new song, and in all his vidoes he use to move like he was on speed to hyper 4 me. It may of been that, an they made a nutta sign a contract. Crazy Biatch

  34. Jenna  |   Posted on Feb 5th, 2005

    Apparently he was diagnosed with schizophrenia a while ago, and this is the result of a breakdown. Sad.

  35. ugonna  |   Posted on Feb 5th, 2005

    men that is the most disgusting picture i have ever seen.

    Wow, is that how drugs work, maybe i should take some too. Hahahaha

  36. ugonna  |   Posted on Feb 5th, 2005

    he might have had a hard time with that eye that they had to seperate

  37. ugonna  |   Posted on Feb 5th, 2005

    Extra, Extra, read all about it, Houston has gotten a divorce

  39. SadiaLynn  |   Posted on Feb 6th, 2005

  40. Tanisha  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    Do u have pictures of houston’s eye did he do it with his hands or with a knife or whta .That is really scary my heart and prayers go out to them

  41. calliwell  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    I picked up an old issue the Toronto Star and this is what it had to say:

    NEW YORKâ??The devil made him do it, representatives for R&B singer Houston said in a statement explaining how his eye was seriously gouged.

    Houston’s publicist issued a statement last week denying reports that he tried to take his life by jumping from a London hotel window last week. The statement said Houston had “found himself in the midst of a spiritual battle against the evil that runs rampant in the entertainment industry.”

    Houston, whose 2004 single “I Like That” was used in a McDonald’s commercial, was found in his London hotel room with a serious eye injury. He was briefly hospitalized.

    “Houston was lying on his bed with a towel over his face and I removed the towel to find his eye hanging out,” said Houston’s bodyguard, Marco Powell. He said he had to get the devil off of his back and that’s the only way he could kill the devil.”

    ——

    So there you go. It’s not the drugs, or the Schizophrenia, Depression or the fact that he’s probably a one hit wonder…

    No. It was Satan.

  42. melissa  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    LOL im sure it was satan that boy is possesed.

  43. I think Bushwick Bill was compelled to comment as he has the whole one eyed/suicide attempt survivor/Pcp user from Houston thing in common with Houston

  44. laura  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    i think this is realy said all yal out there who is dissin him is bare deep he obvisaly did this for a reson and i guess u woulnt understand till u go throut it and he andit mad to all yal who think he is he just went throught times and his song is great

  45. BeavisOnCrack  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    what a dumbass. Does this moron know how many blind people out there would kill for a good eye? They should have just let him jump. One less whack job running around is always a good thing, plus we would be rid of his Gusher like sounding songs.

  46. andrew  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    Laura, what the fuck are you talking about??

  47. Bluetree  |   Posted on Feb 7th, 2005

    Shut the fuck up Beavis, Houston has mental proplems.maybe he didn’t know what he was doing. you never know untill you gouge your eye out.

  48. highman  |   Posted on Feb 8th, 2005

    THE nigga just fucking crazy

  49. tatiana  |   Posted on Feb 8th, 2005

    That is just really sad what he did. I really wish I knew what really happened what was on his mind..did he take any drugs or what..what made him do such a horrible thing. When I found I got shocked Im still in shock of what he did to himself. He is a great singer. And some of the stuff you guys say it aint even funny…it’s jus horrible.

  50. tatiana  |   Posted on Feb 8th, 2005

    And Im glad that his security guard got there on time before he jumped off the hotel window. Cuz if he jumped off 13th floor window he wouldve been GONE. At least he gauged his eye out and didnt kill himslef while he was locked in the room by himself. I think they shouldve let the security guard stay in the room with him so Houston wouldnt do that to his eye..or was the security guard staying in the room with him? Well I donno..im just so socked I dont even know how to put words together.

  51. tatiana  |   Posted on Feb 8th, 2005

    Oh and did you guys hear about the 50 Cent rumor..that he had his left hand cut off by the lambourgini door?

  52. houstons wifey  |   Posted on Feb 8th, 2005

    i am so upset with him. i will be saying my prayers and i urge others to do the same.

  70. Bow Wows' Wifey  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2005

    I thougt that this pic. was so gross. I even cried a little how can somebody do that to themselves in the middle of their career. And y did he have to choose his eye of all places? I think he just need a lil’ of LOVE and he wouldv’e been better. But keep hope alive and I hope no of yall crazy people try this!!! Luv ya!

  71. thickchick14  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2005

    i think he doesnt need to be stuck in a room by himself. if his bodyguard was really doing his job like he suppose to do, houston wouldnt be going through this much pain right now.houston just has a serious problem and we need to pray for him.

  72. i'm bow wow's wifey  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2005

    i still can’t believe dat. that junk look so nasty. yall need to stop making jokes about that nigga. it’s not a laughing matter.

  77. Khamelion84  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2005

    I think that everyone needs 2 stop downin the guy, I mean u never know what he was/is goin thru. And if everyone notices, the only comments out aren’t even from Houston. So ’til I hear some cold, hard facts from Houston himself, 4get da nonsense. To everyone out there, heres a Lesson 4 life: Refrain from judging another’s situation ’til u have experienced it ur self. Nobody knows what was goin thru ole boy’s head……………….Stay strong Houston

  78. g-mama  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2005

    Well i guess we can call him “right eye” now. I think all the symptoms are right and that the devil did make him do it. I also heard that he was living in a 2 bedroom apartment w/ 4 ppl, and that his parents spent all his money. I just hope that he can get out there in the public and explain his crazy actions. and now i must go, cuz my left eye twitching like crazy from looking at that picture. ugggghhhhh!!!!

  79. Keyana  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2005

    I think all ya’ll haters need to stop talkin bout Houston cause thats just downright DISRESPECT. Ya’ll dont know what the hell Houston had going on in his head or in his life at that time. So, until he is able to come out and let ya’ll immature and disrespectful asses know what the deal is, ya’ll need to keep your mouths shut if u aint got nothing positive to say about the matter. I just felt like i had to get that out b/c it seems like everybody is just downtalking him when they should be uplifting him. Think about it. I’m sure he wants to hear the people saying how he’s in their prayers and how they hope he gets better, and how much they love him. Anyway, I’m gon be real and say, “Houston, I hope you get better and whatever the reason behind the situation, I still love you.”

  80. eeeewwwww man wot a freak wot idiot tinks he is fukin jesus kmttt

  81. peaches  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2005

    Alright I won’t disrespect Houston but I will say A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD,especially on this site, APPARENTLY NEED AN EDUCATION!!!!!!!!

  83. Diamond69  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2005

    There comes a time in everybody’s life when you experience the spirit realm, and if you are not rooted in Jesus it will drive you crazy. Houston is at a cross roads now, and can get better or get worse. Pray that he gets better. Just take a lesson from this. Suicide is a demon, and when someone feels the urge to do that they are being attacked by a demon. All yall readin this better know that God is real and so is Satan. Choose today whom you will serve. Pray for Houston (I mean really pray) so that if you or someone in your family experiences the urge to go there, God will stop them because he will bless you the way you prayed for Houston.
