    @Jonathan Byrne: no, I constantly advise you on your behaviour while drunk usually telling you to get some sleep as, like right now it’s about 4am where you are. You’re not drinking tonight though, I can tell.

    @Jonathan Byrne: your reaction to someone simply posting a helpline for those with addiction issues is very strange. I felt it should have been included in the article, it wasn’t so I put it in a comment.

    @Jonathan Byrne: I have no idea why you’re so upset about me posting an addiction helpline on a story about a drug overdose. To be honest I don’t give a sh!t if nobody cares what I have to say. They don’t have to read it, you don’t have to read it. You seem to have taken some sort of personal offense to me expressing my opinions, that’s fine, it’s your choice, but it won’t do you any good, I’ll still post my opinion on any subject I want whenever I want. And I will never personally attack somebody repeatedly like you do. Guess what? I’m happy. Can you say the same?

    Perhaps it’s time for her to retreat from life in the limelight and the media back off and let her face her demons in private. The price if fame can be very high. Really hope she comes out the other end of this.

    Based on her history, I think it was about time someone is brutally honest with her. If she keeps pumping herself full of this s–t, she will end up dead soon. Every time she is supposed to be sober, she has stories about how she is a victim in life but is on the road of recovery. In fact, Often she is not sober but still high telling these stories.

    It’s time for her to take some personal responsibility for this, especially given the resources available to her, and stop pumping herself full of s–t.

    By the way, I wish her success…
