First off, I worry for her children. I hope they are, at the very least, safe. I feel compassion for her and I'm not a big celebrity watcher. She has been on display since she was a kid and the press delights in reporting such downward spirals. And, it seems, society delights in watching them.
Not knowing her, who really knows what is driving this current behavior? Though, I'm sure many of us can make some very accurate, and educated, guesses.
I suppose I pause and think about the human behind the persona. Regardless of money, and fame, there is a person who is obviously suffering greatly.
When I was a teenager, my Father was a prominent figure in our city. Then, there was a small scandal involving him (no big deal now that I look back at it). Then, my Mom filed for divorce for unrelated reasons. It was a bitter, and nasty, divorce. Those two things combined was delicious fodder for the local newspaper. I can't express how hurtful it was to my Mother and us kids. Plus, people, supposidly MATURE grown adults would walk to up me at my part time job and make horrible comments about my parents and our family. These weren't kids, but ADULTS talking about my family, and me, as if I were an object without feelings. It still carry the scars from that time.
I'm shocked at the lack of empathy on this thread. Okay, fine, whatever. I find her behavior odd, and out of control, also. But, it's reminiscent of what parents of easy child kids say about us and our difficult children.
Or may have chosen buddism.
